GM's thread about nothing (8 Viewers)

I forgot to make my picks for Bob's pool, and my autopicker is set to do "random", which means I have a lot of really dumb picks this week.

Of course, that probably also means this is my best chance to win a week.

:thumbup: I had my best week the week I wasn't able to get my picks in.
 
Been back home in Denver since Friday night. Leave to catch a flight back to Seattle in about 4 hours. It's tough being away from the family and my boy for so long. We've spent a lot of time wresting around and giggling the past couple of days.

So far Seattle has taken it easy on me in regards to the weather. I wish I could say the same for my job. Starting this time of year is like being thrown into the ocean during a hurricane and told to hurry up learn out to swim. I'm never happy with my own performance but I think I'm picking things up pretty well.

 
Today was the day that I was going to insulate the attic, so I go down to Home Depot, ready to rent the insulation blower and hire some dudes to help out, and what do you know, apparently day laborers aren't fond of pouring rain. :scared:

Nearly 80 and sunny in Denver today. Gonna miss that. I also took the light trail to the airport on Friday so I have a nice walk home in the rain tonight

:lol: :lol: Second week in a row for me :bag:But, I did remember to get my football bets in and went 5 for 6 :bowtie:
 
sobering reminder of why i no longer read/post in the Shark Pool taking place in the Colts v Eagles thread

either guys are in the Pool to shtick/fish or they are in there taking life waaaaaaaay too seriously. kinda takes the enjoyment out of it like Simms/Nantz in the booth. :####punch:

 
Some airport thoughts:

It takes far more coordination than one would think to get on and off a moving walkway that isn't moving.

The only thing worse than people standing on a moving walkway are people who walk extremely slowly on a moving walkway.

isn't the point of the moving walkway to rest your travel weary legs? or am i doing it wrong? :mellow:
 
I have decided to run for President in 2012 with one and only issue on my platform. Taxes? Illegal Immigration? Health Care? Crime? No, I am thinking something much more important.

As the father of two middle school children, my guiding issue will be to make Science Fair illegal.

How much is your rent? Is it too damn high?

Since we're all on pins and needles. A ##### of a woman is having problems with her job and boyfriend. She, in my opinion, is a selfish ##### that has made my life more difficult then necessary in the past. When I heard through mutual friends she was up #### creek. I smiled.
Are you talking about YSR? :rolleyes: If you are, you are probably in the wrong thread. She's been nothing but decent and nice and funny to us. That's all we can go on and I don't think you'll get me or some other folks in here to care what you think.If you're not talking about YSR, then I'm just lost and confused.I'm still lost and confused over what's happening to YSR.But I do like YSR. I'd hate for somebody who's been nothing but nice to me suffer. Shoot, I don't really want anyone to suffer. And if somebody has poisoned me against them to the point where I want harm to befall them, then I need step back and look at my own life.Can't we all just get along? In here? There's lots of other threads on here where we don't get along. Can we please ensure this one isn't one of those?

I never got the impression he was speaking of YSR but then again I don't know about a lot of iDrama and the like. Seems like a pretty ####ty place to air that kind of dirty laundry :rolleyes:If that's the case, I'm sure there's a :power8=8er: forum out there to air it out.That said, I'll go to bat for YSR.

Starting in grade 3 kids here do public speaking which I see the benefit of...except when a kid is really freaked out by it. When I was in grade 5 a friend of mine said she really didn't want to do it and the teacher made her. She said, "Good morning teachers and fellow stuuuu" and fainted hitting her head on the rail of the chaulkboard.

I don't recall YSR making his life difficult. :thumbdown:I assume it's a RL person, maybe an old gf. Pretty sure YSRs problems don't transfer to ilife.
 
Wat?

Why the hell is everyone obsessed about an off hand comment I made?

It's someone from real life, not some iperson.

How the hell did anyone get YSR from what I said?

:( I don't even know who madhatter is (I used to think it was a moonhead alias and maybe it is, but I have trouble keeping track nowadays). Also, it's been years since I was involved in any iDrama. Gosh, I love being able to say that.

GM, my current troubles have to do with my small business that is hanging on by a thread. We need to get through December (January, really) and then we will be okay, but the next while is going to be stressful. We have already moved one person from inside (base + commission) sales to outside sales (100% commission, albeit a much higher percentage), but the last thing I want to do is lay someone off before the holidays.

I have no BF troubles - in fact, I cannot imagine going through this with anyone else.

I do, however, have family troubles in that the BF and I still aren't officially engaged - which is giving my traditional southern parents fits and has seriously hampered my once great friendship with my folks. That's tough. Especially since I may have to ask them for a loan for the business to get us through the slow season. Ack.

Anyway, thanks for the defense and the kind words. All will be well and I think it's time I stop unloading my troubles in this thread. :hifive:

She's been having troubles, your statement could have been applied to her. :shrug:That's why I was asking for clarification.

Unless it involves BF's crazy-### parents or about-to-be-convicted-felon brother-in-law.
 
trade offered to me...

his Rivers, Hightower for my Ryan, Blounte.

I've already got P Manning and a ####load of RBs...

I'll answer yours about pizza or baby-names.

why would you want rivers if you have manning?
Because. Because of the wonderful things he does.No idea, really- like I between-the-linesed above, this about backups. But I was thinking I could then try to package Rivers in a trade to upgrade at WR (f-u Marshall... Nicks, S Moss, Gaffney- start 2)
 
that trade offer sucks. maybe a stomach punch is in order?
:goodposting:explain this to me like I'm a soccer guy.
I didn't realize you were thinking of moving Rivers after adding him. I just didn't understand adding him when you already had Peyton. Carry on.If you don't need Blunt and think you can get more for Rivers than you can for Ryan/Blunt, seems like an easy decision.

Hey Furley- congrats on the impending... I just caught that in another thread. :thumbdown: Super duper hating now. I'm told.

One felon BiL. Geez, everyone has at least one, don't they?Whether you're religious or not I think everyone will agree everything happens for a reason. The purpose of this rough patch could simply be to strengthen your relationship with your bf, which it seems to have done. I hope you find whatever it is that brings your business around top for the next two months but either way you're already ahead. Happiness is perspective.

Is the market still so far down there that selling the rentals is hard? What if oyu offered your current renters a discount for rent paid in advance? That would only work if you know you can float everything come February. Pay 5 months now and 6th is free or 3 paid for 4th free or whatever you think you could manage with. Just a thought.
