Mrs. SLB wants to go to a bed n' breakfast in one of the surrounding wine countries this year. I'm weirded out by the thought of being in a house full of strangers. Thoughts?

There's wine country in MO?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Donnie Baker (recurring character on the Bob and Tom Show) was talking about Jennifer Coolidge (Stifler's Mom). He said something like "She made me dip into the spank-bank so many times my pork was writing bad checks."

Maybe the genius was in the delivery.

Is it really all that different than a hotel?

Is this your shy way of asking all of us to join you at this bed and breakfast?

I guess I just don't see the difference between having your own room in a B&B and your own room in a hotel.

You know what, great idea. Maybe we can all meet in Hermann, MO. I haven't been there in, God, 17 years (can't believe it has been that long). A full day of drinking wine during Oktoberfest? Epic.Who is in?

Do they bring the breakfast to your room? Do you typically have a bathroom in your room?

LOOK AT ME, I'M GOOD AT MY JOB!!!!!!!

I've started recruiting within the last year, been doing it for the last year or so. This week I got to call a friend and tell her that I was pulling her out of the dying company that we worked at together, and was moving her to another company where one of her best friends works. It was awesome. And

Very cool. That must be a great feeling. And thanks, all. On the more good news front (and related to BobbyLayne's post), yesterday OH was offered a job at one of Memphis's best restaurants. Now he gets to go to school from 6 a.m.-noon Monday-Thursday and then a job from 2:30-11 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. Yay...?

Great news! Tell him congrats (since it sounds like he'll be too busy to be checking in here). How much longer until he graduates?

He still has about a year if he does the full degree program. And I misspoke; he'll be working Monday-Saturday, not just Tuesday-Saturday. I think it might be in our interest just to separate for the next year.

Not in my interest. Coming home to a smokin' hot wife and a house full of cats is the only way to get through a week of 18-hour days. Otherwise my life would too closely resemble a Steve Earl ballad. Please, Krista. Please don't make me be a tragic protagonist in a country song.

I just spent an hour waiting with my kid at one of those 'occupational clinics'. He had to take a drug test for a job he's applying for...at a restaurant.

They want to make sure he's on drugs before they give him the job. HTH.

This changes everything. I'm going to reluctantly agree.I'm a little disappointed that nobody else wants to go however.

You and the Mrs are invited to join us on Shelter Island this summer. Its in between the North Fork and the Hamptons. Think charming Victorian cottages with pretty lattice and no insulation.We'll be a little disappointed if you don't want to go.

Crab races at Sunset Beach. Long strolls through Mamaroneck nature preserve. Dinner at Michael's.We'll put you up in the cabana next to the pool. Plenty of rooms for sleeping (bed/hideawy/inflatable mattress), just no kitchen. The main house has two bedrooms - converted fishing cottage that is about 130 years old.

We have it from Memorial to Labor.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

A couple of other things for you, my friends.

That post about doing it with my wife on the FB was an inside joke about this guy we knew in college. This guy, Tim, was a GIANT hick that said some very odd things. He would tell us every time he had sex with his girlfriend. Every. Time. "Hey Tim, how are things?" "I just had sex with my girlfriend." My GB and myself were talking about this last night, and my Stag beer shtick, which he also thought was hilarious :finger: to the rest of you, when he reminded me of another Tim story. We were drunk one night and Tim, being the big lunkhead he is, was bragging about how tough he was. You know those mini baseball bats? He wanted to bet my GB he couldn't knock him out by beating him over the head with one. For ten bucks.

Seriously man. My GB is my oldest and one of my best friends in the world. He is apparently a good looking guy because he has been with at least 10X as many women as me. Of course I'm in love with Mrs. SLB and have been married, but still.So last night I give him a call to see if he wants to have a couple of beers. His fiance is going out with the her girlfriends. Perfect. So we are pretty tanked up and his girlfriend comes home. She's loaded too. They start arguing about some rather personal stuff that I won't post here and she says I love you. I reply I love you too. She says "no, I love you." My GB is looking at the floor and I frantically started searching for the cyanide capsule in my pocket. JFC I feel like having a drink right now.

If they had drug tested back when I worked in restaurant it would have been a skeleton crew every night.

Please don't buy any morons back into the FFA with the extra $$.

Bob, I love you too. I want to be your wife for like a week. She must have some great stories at work.

Krista, congrats, seriously!

 

[Early_10]

I have a bit of a situation going on here this weekend. From the minute I first knew I was pregnant, even before that, I wanted a daughter. I'm so close with my own mom and have always wanted to share that bond with a daughter of my own. We've had two little girls, sisters, with us in foster care. The oldest came with us at 3 weeks old, she'll soon be 3 years old. Her little sister, almost 2 years old, came home from the hospital with us at 36 hours old.

While we're not struggling financially, we don't have a bank roll either. We're month to month but have several fall backs...about 30% equity in each of two homes, own our cottage outright, no car payments or anything.

Yesterday the social worker asked us to consider adopting the two girls in our care. Why I bring up the financial is it will take them as a (minimal but still) income to dependents. I'm struggling with whether we can afford to have 5 dependents. I mean we don't even have enough saved for our oldest sons full university expenses but we've got enough to get him through at least the first 2 years...rest we'll help him with as much as we can but expect him to cover. Boiling it down to money feels so wrong to me but I can't get passed it.

Along with the idea that if anything ever happened to hubby I'd be raising 5 kids on my own.

Has anyone ever gone houseboating before? I mean, Lake Havasu style?

We're planning a houseboating trip for my brothers Bachelor party....except he is a big time party planner, and it has grown to 3 boats and over 50 guys. Should be a blast.

Just cause I thought you would want to know...
