Fight The Power!
I made my girlfriend watch Dog Day Afternoon last weekend. I don't think I've ever seen the movie in its entirety. We both fell asleep about halfway through. Overrated flick IMO.

Best buddy from Dallas was in town last weekend and in between laughing, smoking, drinking, killing our livers, he made fun of me for being a fat turd. For some reason, that stung worse than when you guys call me fat or my parents or my kids or people in passing cars. So I've stopped all beer (save for Sunday), am in the gym every chance I get and am bound and determined to show him I'm capable of losing weight. He, on the other hand, will not be able to re-grow the missing hair from his large head.Tell me about it. I've got like 18 years to go back and fix.I've just started running again (3 miles x 5 times a week), but there's a lot of damage to undo.
Stupid jerk.

Whether someone likes a comedy is impossible to predict.
The Jerk is a top-3 All Time comedy for me.

Cal is a lover. Dylan is a freaking street fighter. I'm saving up for his bond now.Let Cal take care of it. That's what older brothers are for.St. Louis Bob said:A kid in Dylan's preschool threw a block which hit him in the head and split it open. He's in the hospital now waiting to get stitches. The doctor apparently is taking too long.
He's the vengeful type too. Not sure where he gets that from. It will be interesting to see what happens the next couple of days.

Rolling by No Big Fish Five Into Love by Cinema 8A question from today's assignment "Who wrote 'The Star-Spangled Banner' and why did he write it?" The passage in the book reads like this since it is part of a side-bar:
My kids are working on a study guide. The questions are all about industrialization/inventions.
One of them is "Where and when did the Wright Bros make the first powered flight?"
This kid says "I can't find the answer. There are 3 answers in the book: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and Orville.
Which one is it?"

I forgot all about that. Mrs. SLB gave a bunch of toys away and tossed others so I'm sure that is what happened. Of course that could also explain the weird colors in the dogs poop.Might be off topic but whatever happened the 'Green Dinosaur'? Still in the middle of the bathroom floor?Cal is a lover.

Yes. I'm the opposite.I think it's annoying when someone leaves a message just to say they were calling and to call them back. I already see the missed call... no reason to make me go through the VM process to get zero new information.If they leave a detailed message it's a different story.

They're doing you a favor.Message one. Received.. today.. at.. four... fifty nine... pee emm... Hi it's Bob. It's like, four thirty, no five maybe, oh I don't know, your voicemail probably says what time it is. Anyways, I was just calling to get in touch, no big deal, hadn't talked to you in a while. If you get this, give me a call. To delete this message, press one. To save it, press two. To hear more options, press three. (One.) Message erased. Next new message. Received today at... five.. oh two... pee emm. Hi, it's me. I had the craziest day at work today. You won't believe what my boss did. I'm sitting there in my cube looking over numbers and she walks in and just starts blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah (One) This number is not recognized. To hear this message again, press one. To erase it, press two. To start over, press three. To hear more options, press nine. (Three). (Wait, no. Not three. NOOOOOO) Received today at... five.. oh two... pee emm. Hi, it's me. I had the craziest day at work today. You won't believe what my boss did. I'm sitting there in my cube looking over numbers and she walks in and just starts blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah (Nine Nine Nine Nine I hope this is the one that fast forwards it). This number is not recognized. To continue the message, press one. To hear more options... (click)Now let's try this again without voicemail. I look at my phone. I have two missed calls. I call them back when I have time. If they need to get in touch with me urgently, they send a text. Voicemail is horrible and outdated. The moment someone leaves you a voicemail they are taking your time hostage because you never know what they're going to say until you listen all the way to the end, and 90% of the time it's a total waste. I have been trying to train my friends and family on this fact for years and it's finally gaining traction.

Although anybody that says "leave a detailed" message gets much more than they bargained for.

Cool, Dylan just spewed everywhere. This, my friends, is why I married a nurse.
He's asking Mrs. SLB if he can go to school tomorrow. No doubt he has retribution on his mind.

I'm doing something similar. I've only been drinking Thursday nights & Sundays and have given up whiskey for the most part. I'm more concerned about my liver though. I only drank about 40% of a 1.75 liter of JD in the last 3 weeks. That is self control for me.So I've stopped all beer (save for Sunday), am in the gym every chance I get and am bound and determined to show him I'm capable of losing weight. He, on the other hand, will not be able to re-grow the missing hair from his large head.Stupid jerk.

I'm talking about callers that I don't know. If it is someone I know I just call them back. If it is a number I don't recognize I don't know if I need to call them back or not.

Exactly. "Hey it's me" is not acceptable in a cell phone, caller ID age.
jplvr
Footballguy
This is true. I think I understood what you were talking about, but I'm more concerned about my idiot friends. If a random number I don't know calls and does not leave a message, I don't worry about it for long.
General Malaise
Footballguy
I agree with this guy.
bostonfred
Footballguy
An unknown number who doesn't leave a message is either
- calling with something inappropriate for a voicemail and planning on calling back
- not that big a deal
- a wrong number
- selling something

I've said this before on many threads here, but what the #### is wrong with you? Find other ways to give up calories or exercise more. There's no need to give up the greatness of booze. I lost 40 pounds in six months (216 to 175) without cutting back on drinking much at all and have kept it off for years by cutting back on portions, dropping sweets, dropping soda, etc. Beer, cheese and bacon are three things that must not be negotiated.So I've stopped all beer (save for Sunday), am in the gym every chance I get and am bound and determined to show him I'm capable of losing weight.

Been to the gym 4 times the last week and will continue that pace. But I must correct you: I'm not giving up BOOZE....just beer. Last night, I had one Jameson neat. Lasted me all night long. Kept me warm and tingly. Night prior, one Johnny Walker Black neat. Same deal. I figure if I keep that up and stop with the 4-5 beers a day + frequent gym time, I should get to where I want to be* before long.*Where I want to be = being able to shower with the lights on and not Nelson Muntz myself every morning.bentley said:I've said this before on many threads here, but what the #### is wrong with you?

Alright, this URG is getting a little silly here. This can't continue forever.
Having the drink "neat" to me is the key. It's not cold, so it makes me want to pound the drink less. I'm the type of guy that likes to have a drink in my hand at all times when in social situations (even if it's not alcohol)...there's something subconciously soothing about it (or I'm an alcoholoic)Been to the gym 4 times the last week and will continue that pace.

Having a neat drink is a good way of doing that and keeping a buzz without getting plowed which is waht happens to me if I pound a bunch of brown liquor
