GM's thread about nothing (35 Viewers)

[bostonfred]

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.

Bill in the toilet is not Mr. Bill, but the kind of bill that you have to pay. In this case, your body is telling you that the bill for your hard living has come due. You're constipated, and your subconcious is telling you that you've been pushing healthy fiber like Raisin Bran away, and that eating McDonalds is just killing your colon. You're dehydrated, and your digestive system is whimpering that you need to eat better or you will alternate between being unable to poop and greasing your pants with claymation action figures. Also, you like dudes.

Oh good news in the Stein household. My 18 year old finally got a job. We told him back in June that he could take a year to figure out what he wanted to do in terms of college/career. In the meantime he was supposed to find a job...any job. Finally got hired on at a local restaurant. It's actually a rather iconic place at least for this part of the state. He started training yesterday.

My words of wisdom to him were:

You have 2 jobs. #1 Make the company money. #2 Don't do anything that causes the company to lose money. That's it.

Your boss only has to do 3 things. #1 Compensate you fairly and on time. #2 He/she cannot ask you to do anything illegal. #3 Ask you to do anything unsafe. That's it.

Your job isn't supposed to make you happy. It's called "work" for a reason.

 

[bostonfred]

my advice to your kid would be to act like this is the most important job in the world, and that you want nothing more than to get promoted. learn how to hustle and it will become a habit.

HTF are they supposed to do #1 without him doing #2 & #3?

I got my work ethic by watching the road crew scenes in Cool Hand Luke. "Taking off the glasses here boss!" "Yes sir boss!"

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.



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

Ouch. That's some awful timing. How fast were you going over the limit?

you're not telling him to go to college or move out and pay his own way?

 

[Dr. Awesome]

If we're doing dreams, I've had a really weird one quite a few times.

I'm in some type of large auditorium. There are three paths to walk down (each side & the middle). The seats are filled with people who don't notice me. I'm walking down the middle row, slowly. I have some people behind me. There are also people creeping down the side row. I don't know why, but I need to take out the person delivering the speech/sermon. He notices me making my way towards him so at that point I have no choice but to rush the stage with my crew. I tackle the speaker while the others start fighting with his henchmen who have appeared from nowhere. The audience is oblivious to all of this. As I'm fighting with the speaker he suddenly grows a razor blade in the middle of his palms. He manages to slice me a few times. One of the attacks cuts open the entire side of my palm on my right hand (from wrist to bottom of my pinkie finger). I grab his right hand and somehow close his fist in such a way the razor viciously slices off his pinkie and ring fingers.

Then I wake up.

125 in a 100...like 77 in a 62. I started to give an excuse but stopped mid sentence and told him, "Nevermind, no sob stories. My own fault." Then since it was my first ticket he gave me a break, the ticket is for 1-10 over the limit which is no demerit points and $50.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

$50 to pop your speed cherry? Not bad at all.

 

[Early_10]

No idea what it will do to our insurance though...when we had just gotten to hubbys record being clean. We'll have to renew before the ticket is processed.

I haven't had McDowells in a couple of months and plan on never eating that crap again. I actually eat pretty well and my blood work from my vitals came back last week and were the best ever. My cholesterol is down from 268 to 194. Even better is that my liver enzymes are down from 67 to 35 with normal levels being from 9-60 Of course I'm thinking they may have screwed up the vials though.As far as liking dudes, make out with me. If after 10 times I think I like it, then I'll agree you are right.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your math is incorrect. There are 2200 pages, each of which contains 50 threads. So this thread is actually 1 out of 110,000 threads in the FFA.Yes, it may be the largest thread in the FFA, but it is nowhere near 20% of the total size. As far as entertainment though, I agree with Kev, about 99%.

Hot chicks with big boobs are all over the internet. I'm sick of Tim Burton-ish movies. I'm simply burned out of his works (and similar artists). But it's not like you're seeing that Beiber movie. Red Riding Hood looks like it will be entertaining if that's a genre you enjoy.
