GM's thread about nothing (32 Viewers)

Have you ever had a dream where you heard a siren, then realized it was your alarm clock? Ever had a dream where your arm got hurt, then you realized you were sleeping on it wrong? Ever gotten a totally random song like Lady In Red stuck in your head, and then realized it was because you'd seen a woman in a red dress earlier? Your mind makes leaps all the time. I don't think you should overanalyze it, and I agree that the canned stuff is about worthless, but sometimes you're stressing out about stuff and you might not even realize it. Is that useful? Maybe. You might be repressing something, and a dream can bring it to the forefront. Like a bad pain you've gotten a couple times in your stomach, and then you have a bad dream about it, and you realize you've been really nervous about what that pain is and just trying not to think about it. If that gets you to the doctor, more power to you. You might be agonizing over a decision, and deep down you know the right decision, or you are worried about something but afraid to say it out loud. If the dream helps you realize that, then cool. Maybe the most useful part of dream analysis is that it gives you a low impact way to analyze stuff that you might not otherwise have thought of. If I asked Early, what are you most worried about with this decision, she might not articulate all of the little things she's thinking about, or be afraid to say some of them. But when we talk about the dream, she can say, maybe this represents that, and I can say, maybe it means something else, and it's easier on her because we're talking about the dream, not the thing that scares her. I don't know that there's any real science to it, but if someone mentions a dream when they're already having a tough stretch, I think it's totally worthwhile to talk about it.
Sounds like taking the long way around if you ask me :lmao:
That's a good description. But it's good to know a bunch of ways of getting somewhere, in case one of the other roads is blocked.

Over the last year, I've come to realize that bostonfred has a lot of wisdom, and I've really begun to appreciate his posts more and more. I think this is a great way of looking at dreams. :shrug:

:blackdot: :shrug: :goodposting: Im a big fan. Doesnt surprise me one bit that he seems to have been one of the closest iPeople to shiny.Reminds me.. does RWS post here under an alias? I miss that guy's stuff.
 
This was almost on page 3. What the hell is the matter with you people?
Nobody bringing the funny lately. :shrug: Hey, don't look at me. I drop knowledge, make wry asides. Anything humorous is purely coincidental. The rest of you folks have been dropping the ball.
I've been doing what I can. But I'm only one man.I notice that without GM or SLBob around things quickly devolve into hoop fights and the like.

Sorry, you should not be painted with that broad brush. You're bringing EPIC + WINNING funny of late.
 
It's fantasy baseball season, which I treat like the French do the month of August. I don't think I've even made the sechs in over a week and lord help me if my boss ever decides to browse my internet history. I used to worry that he'd find odd google searches like "hot+naked+midget" or "intrusive+nipplehair" but if he logged in today, he might just find a 3 hour research project on relief pitchers with possible saves in their future and I'm not sure which is worse, frankly.

:shrug: That's actually a pretty solid story and will get to it later today*.

*I say this fully realizing I never finished the wedding updates, but have been inspired by Mr. Pickles lengthy Bachelor write-ups and will be stopping off an the liquor store later today for encouragement. :thumbup:

 
Also, I recently discovered that Disco Stu has a 2nd Halloween costume option to compliment his GI Joe ensemble, but it really only helps if people know just who the hell Casey Blake is.

Anyone good at dream analysis?

I dreamed I was in the bathroom kneeling by the tub, I think bathing our shihtzu/poodle. I pull the plug and then see something black in the water, I think it's a mink. I back up startled and it gets out of the tub. It's not a mink, it's a cat. It's no longer black, it's brown tabby. I back up into a bed where my two younger sons are and see there are more cats walking around the floor, mostly kittens, but I'm afraid of them. There's 4 or 5 total. I ask my youngest son to put them outside and he's picking them up and cuddling them. When I go out to the living room there's a dog that I think is ours but then notice there's two identical and I can't tell which one is ours. At one point I'm standing on the coffee table and it seems there's these kittens everywhere and the two dogs.
You wormholed into Krista's house?
:lmao: We only have one dog. :goodposting:

How many cats?
 
I think I have two...wait, three...people from the past couple of weeks who rival the "dumbest people on the planet" stories (in addition to the ice-cream shop lady that told my mom that marshmallows were out of season, which story I previously relayed).

1. Starting with a check-out woman at Sports Authority. I went there to find something and almost immediately upon entering the store realized it was not the type of store that would have what I was looking for. I wheeled around to go back out the new-fangled automatic doors I had just come in and saw the following sign: "Not an entrance". I took one step in that direction before the following conversation ensued:

Check-out Lady: You can't go out that way. It says right there it's not an entrance.

Me: Well, it doesn't say it's not an exit, and I am trying to exit.

C-o L: No, the sign says that it's not an entrance. That means it's not an entrance to that other area.

Me: You mean the outside???

Apparently there are no such things as exits to this lady; only entrances to other places, including the great outdoors. (As I was leaving, I heard her having the exact same conversation with the next person who tried to exit.)

2. Guy answering the phone at local pizza place (new guy we had never spoken with before). It's important to note that they handmake and roll out their dough daily.

Me: I'd like to order a large pizza for delivery.

Pizza dude: OK, but we only have small and medium pizzas today.

Me: Well, OK, but couldn't you just roll out a larger piece of dough to make a large crust?

Pd: :)

Me: I mean that you could just make a larger pizza crust instead...?

Pd: :confused:

Me: I'll have a medium pizza.

3. Guy delivering pizza above, who called to tell me when he was in the neighborhood. I went downstairs only to see him take a wrong turn, double back, and then park in front of the house three doors down and go up to their door. When he started back down the walk, I called to him and told him he was at the wrong house. It's important to note that all houses in the neighborhood have the same type of mailbox, on which house numbers are painted in very noticeable fashion.

Pizza delivery dude: Oh, sorry.

Me: No worries; just trying to let you know you were at the wrong house. Did you see the numbers?

Pdd: Yes, but my GPS told me I had arrived when I was in front of that other house.

Not sure; we're not due for another census for nine years.
 
I tried calling a parent today to find out "what up" with her son who's been MIA for over a week. As soon as I identified myself and the purpose of the call, she hung up on me. I thought that we were just disconnected, but after trying again a few times, and the call going directly to voice mail, I've come to the conclusion that she really meant to. :)

I'll just PM you next time. I like your answers. I'm worried to hell about the financial impact it will have on us...while I was moderately worrying about paying for our oldest sons secondary education next September. It will be a big financial decision. I don't want to look back in 5 years and say, "yeah, that was the thing that did us in."It shouldn't be about money when it's 2 kids' lives....sadly, it must. We'll do it if I can figure a way that we can afford it.
 
Oh I got my first ever speeding ticket today. While it sucks, I'm grateful for the number of times I've sped that it took to get caught. :rolleyes:

Haven't told hubby yet. He was just pricing new insurance companies this week. D'oh!

 
I'm definitely posting less due to the painful color of the new site on my eyes. I can't be on the boards for more than a few minutes. It really hurts the eyes to look at.

The mobile site is more pleasing to the eye on my EVO than using my regular browser.

If I hung out w 20 year old porn stars all the time time I'd think I was a genius too.

I got a haircut earlier this evening at my usual place...the Supercuts (pause for laughter) just down the street. While I'm in the chair this good old boy comes in. Looks like he could be a welder or roofer. Dude was sporting a full-on, down to the middle of his back, mullet. If you looked up 'mullet' in the dictionary it would have this guy's picture.

The chick gets him in the chair and asks what he wants. He says "Just like it is but trimmed. Parted in the middle, feathered on the sides, long in the back: The Classic Mullet." :goodposting:

I wanted to shake the guy's hand on the way out and tell him 'keep on truckin'

 
I think I'm having a 1/3rd life crises. I know the grass is always greener on the other side, but I spent all day today complaining about work, the bureaucracy of working for a big corporation, etc...I'm sure it will only get worse as time goes on....but the pay is good. They have me by the balls. Hopefully I can stick it out for the next 25 years.

:X

 
Also, gotta say...not a fan of the new format.
I wish we'd go back to Yellaboard, to be honest.Keep your head up, Bob. I've been skimming the thread, barely paying attentino, and when I first saw the condolences posts, I assumed it was a joke regarding the wife at the blackjack table story.
 
If we're analyzing dreams, I have two from the past that I've always struggled with.

#1 - I'm competing for the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight title against Razor Ramone, Kevin Nash, Bret Hart, the Rock, etc. The weird thing is that the title is decided by a 50 meter freestyle swim in a pool inside of the wrestling ring. As I get ready to jump in, I realize that I don't really know how to swim. I also notice that I'm wearing floaties. Yet somehow, I dogpaddle to victory.

#2 - I come home form work one day to find my wife having lesbian sex with a character from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (Aviendha, to be specific). And when I express my shock and ask what's going on, I have Stone Cold Steve Austin's voice.

Bfred> Help please.

We need to defer this one to Imp.

We had a sales meeting this morning and one guy was talking about an account that gets most of their operating income through fund raisers. The account is in jeopardy so the sales person arranged a meeting with the CFO. He shared in the meeting that a competitor offered them a rebate on purchases and they really liked that. So my Dad tells him to offer them a "supporting contribution" based on their purchases. The sales person agrees and says "so the lesson is that sometimes you just have to grease, um, the pants." :thumbdown:

At the end of the meeting my Dad had some pics of our GB that just passed in a Powerpoint slide show since so many of us knew him. They get to a pic of the above sales person and our GB at some golf tournament and the sales person is trying to grab GB's junk. Some guy chimes in "looks like you know about greasing a guys pants a long time ago." :lmao:

I think I have a new favorite phrase.

"Greasing the pants" has a very Roger Sterlingesque ring to it. :thumbdown:
 
I had a dream last night I really had to go poop. So I'm sitting on teh toilets and start to go and it kind of hurts. Just then I hear the song Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts playing. I look in the toilet and instead of poop, it's Mr. Bill. I'm pretty confused to I zip up and leave the bathroom. As I hear "light shining in the window" I look out the window and I see the sun from Raisin Brand logo looking at me through the window. I approach to get a better look but it keeps getting farther away until it is dark outside. Then Mac-The-Knife from the McDonalds commercials is up in the air and trys to stab me. So I run downstairs to get away and the dog is sitting by his water bowl whimpering for something to drink. So I grab his bowl and fill it up with water from the sink. I then notice he doesn't have any food either so I get him some food. He starts to eat and I wake up.

Your subconscious is trying to tell you to make sure to wipe your ### before leaving the bathroom. If you don't, it will set off a dramatic set of events that leads to your dog stabbing you the next time you come home with a Big Mac. Pretty cut and dry here :confused:

You like muscular men in speedos, but you're more of a floaties guy. When it's women, though, you find it icky. If you have a baseball dream, I'm guessing you play catcher.
