Definitely, but...I know it's been a running joke with all my iFriends... the guy from Alabama must live in a trailer. As it turns out, I might give everyone a collective schtick lottery eventually, or at least I'm considering it as an option. I joked with a friend when we were discussing where I might live down there. I had found a 3BR/2BA garden home 2 blocks from the public boat ramp where we launch when I visit. We're definitely not talking about a gated community or anything, not even as nice as my friend's place about a mile away, but considering I'd only have to take out $20k loan to buy it at it's list price after selling my place at a reduced rate... it's tempting.Then I found some lots in a subdivided neighborhood which had never been built. We're talking 100 lots and deed restricted with some having water access at $50-60k. Um... $50k for a lot with water access, $10k or less if I play around at a repo auction ($5900 is a price recently confirmed by a friend for something like this) for a travel trailer... I'd be left with plenty of money to buy a nice center console and almost no bills. I mean, I'd be living in a residence I could tow to Tuscaloosa on any given football weekend in a truck I currently own, but I'd be living on the water without out many worries and plenty of time to play in the Gulf, provided BP doesn't #### it up again. I'm not saying I'd like to live this way forever, but for a year or so? I think I could manage. Half acre lot on a canal leading to the intercoastal waterway... 25' travel trailer... build a fence for Bear and buy a decent center console with twin 250's? Sounds like heaven right now considering my current mortgage and the career path projected from the past 2 years. I could wait tables at TGI Fridays and life would be pretty good... for me anyway.I do wish things would turn around. I was making over 6 figures if you considered "extra benefits" which often come when you are a business owner. The cost of living in Birmingham equates that to about double the salary in many other places. I certainliy wouldn't leave that to live like what I suggested in this post previously, but if I have to start over? That sounds like a badass start.If you want to come visit after my move... I'm not saying you need to bring a tent, but after looking over the recent purchase of a 20' travel trailer by a friend of my stepfather's, thinking about trying to live in that thing for a year, the first thing I wondered is whether or not my 67" TV would fit in the front window should I chose to remove some seating.

Apparently my cousin is the new Govenor of Alabama. I wanted to vote for the other guy, but figured I'd just refrain from voting this year as my "protest."
My grandmother is giddy, I'm sure. It's her first cousin. They weren't close, but I think she was a lot closer with one of his brothers or sisters. I've barely paid attention when she's described it to me, but I'm happy for her.

The other night, I had a dream that I was at some random World Cup match. It was Italy vs some country my mind made up. On TV it was ITA vs IXB?
At any rate it was myself and my big fat rich engineer GB who does nothing but work, drink, travel and drink. So he's my kinda guy. At any rate, we're at this World Cup game and Italy is up 3-0. I suddenly run on to the field without any security presence and promptly score. I end up scoring 3 more goals while Italy scores 2 more so whatever country I'm playing for loses 5-3
I end up exchanging jerseys with some Italian guy and the media is snapping pictures of us at the rate of a Paris Hilton nip slip.
Next thing, we're in a suburb of Milwaukee in a POS bar and I'm checking scores on my phone. CBS has a headline with my name on it explaining how I saved a country :whoosh:
The rest of the dream is people coming up to me, asking if I'm the "soccer guy", especially the females.
I woke up rather excited and I don't even like soccer.
WTF is wrong with me?
ETA Any Angels of Anehiem fans? Who's this Roenicke guy?

Now allow me to interpret your dream: Means that you should not get married.

Apparently 16 years ago today I asked Mrs. SLB to marry me. How do chicks remember that stuff and why do they always ask "do you remember what today is?"
I would have been lucky to get November 3rd right.

Thank you for posting this. Today's my wedding anniversary. Any ideas on what I should get her? I vaguely remember her saying we wouldn't do presents this year because she wanted us to buy something expensive that "we" "both" wanted. For woz' benefit, this is code for "I want two presents".

my door was crowbarred in on halloween night 
--> stupid $$$$$$$ alarm didn't go off but something scared them away because nothing was taken. I dont think they even entered the house because when i came home i entered through the open door and set off all the motion sensors.
I didnt lose anything but it has cost me $600 - - 300 for a new door and locks and 300 that i paid the hydro crew (that was in my area clearing trees of the power lines) to clear out my front yard of trees and bushes so my place can be seen from the road and neighbours

SPOILERS DOWN?????I just started watching this show and I'm only about 6 episodes into Season 1This season on 'Mad Men' they lost their biggest client Lucky Strike (American Tobacco). It accounted for over 70% of their billing. Seriously that sucks to hear.Thanks GB. I'm not terribly worried....yet.g'luck the other SLBI remember back around 10 years ago, I just started a job, making a decent salary, and things were looking great.....and then one day about 4-5 months into my job, our largest customer (65% of our business) was declaring bankruptcy and putting us on the hook for about 1/4 of our annual revenue owed to us. We made it through, but I was seriously sick to my stomach for about 2-3 months while everything kinda shook out. hope it turns out okay for youGot a nice kick in the jimmies this morning. We're losing our biggest customer (~75% of our station's business) as of Q1 2011.I was told I have one of the safest jobs in the building, but I have that awful "vote of confidence from the GM/owner" feeling.

She's a marathoner, but she's five months pregnant with my well hung son. She had back pain before the pregnancy and that's only getting worse, especially sitting in the car for an hour commute each way. She wants to go away on a trip somewhere but is saving up vacation time for maternity leave. If there's any maternity/baby stuff that she wouldn't get at a shower in a couple months, that would be good. She has a crappy cell phone but she's due for a new every two soon. Christmas is right around the corner, too. Can't think of too many other ideas.

This was my first thought. A "pregnancy massage" as some of my friends have gotten. Sure, it's a gimmick, but with the back pain it might make her feel really good and hopefully that's something you'd like.
bostonfred
Footballguy
Good call guys. We went out for tapas tonight and I got her a massage appointment for this weekend. Coincidentally during football. I did some nosing around about pregnancy massage and the big thing is obviously staying away from the stomach, and staying away from certain areas on the feet and the webbing on your hand for some strange reason. Not sure how that all works but I guess there are a lot of male masseuses who refuse to do pregnancy massage because of the liability. So while you're not exactly getting a different product, the thing you're paying for is someone who is knowledgable about how to help you when you're carrying a new and different type of weight, and willing to accept the higher risk that goes along with rubbing up on pregnant ladies. I guess that makes sense.

I got a flu shot late last week, and yesterday I was absolutely hit by a crushing flu bug.
I guess that "First do no harm thing" is just a bunch of BS, huh?

I'm going to go to my grave believing Flu Shots are a complete sham orchestrated by the collective mountebank that is our healthcare system. I've never had one and had one mild case of flu 3 years ago that came and went like a morning erection.
