Seriously, WTF was I thinking.Everyone dies. Not everyone lives.2 days of straight drinking and gambling was capped with a 3rd day, 16.5 straight hours of drinking and gambling. I think I'm going to die. Soon.![]()
Women are funny.I was just informed by Mrs. SLB that "I'm probably not going to be working much anymore."

. I certainly did not feel as drunk as a I should with 750ml of whiskey coursing through my veins. Adrenaline, I guess.Women are funny.I was just informed by Mrs. SLB that "I'm probably not going to be working much anymore."![]()

My head hurts.
I'm glad your Mom is doing alright.Rewind a few weeks: my folks have just been to Torchy's Tacos for the first time, and really liked the food. My mom says the menu items have odd names; "mine was called the Dirty Sanchez, or something."
:facepalm:
Now, it would be perfectly OK with me if my 73-year-old mother went the rest of her natural life without knowing what that was, but my reaction made it necessary. Still, there's no way I can talk to my mother like that, so I tell her to go to Urban Dictionary and look it up herself. She decides she won't order that one again.
Back to today: I'm supposed to meet them at an auto show, but my dad calls. She took a header at Torchy's and split her head open. I actually beat them to the ER, and she's fine, but needs about half a dozen stitches. I told her that perhaps Torchy's was not for her.
The priest told me I wasn't supposed to be drinking Heinekens in church.I cracked a bottle of Gentleman Jack about an hour before my wedding. Sometime after dinner but long before things were winding down, I approached the bartender for another drink and was told that there was no more left. I angrily asked who else had been drinking my Gentleman Jack and was informed it was just me. I certainly did not feel as drunk as a I should with 750ml of whiskey coursing through my veins. Adrenaline, I guess.
4 day binge coming on?I just got some GREAT news on the work front. That major customer of ours that got bought out, and I was more than sure we were going to lose them? We just got a new 2 year contract signed by the company that bought them. I can't tell you how happy this makes me.

Luckily the mailman wasn't in the yard when he was otherwise child endangerment charges.While I was making my son and I some nice greasy burgers, I suddenly noticed I didn't hear him. Peeking around the corner, I saw that he's let himself into the backyard via the doggy door. Brought him inside and resumed cooking until I turned around and he was on all 4s drinking from the dog's water dish.Couple of things I probably won't tell the wife about.

The mailman was safe. The poor dog was the one getting dehydrated.Child endangerment?

Huge congrats!!!Also big congrats to YSR on the nuptials, assuming she goes through with it.I just ate a can of cheese-stuffed jalapenos for dinner. I've found that having a husband who works is not all it's cracked up to be, especially if that work consists of not being available five nights a week and leaving me to my own devices. Most of the nights I either work late or get together with friends, but since everyone in Memphis is coupled I hesitate to be the third or fifth wheel too often. So here I am, watching a "Kitchen Impossible" marathon and trying to feed myself.SLB, you asked about Mr. Krista's culinary adventures, which are going well. He's working at one of the best restaurants in town and is in his favorite class so far, which consists mostly of cutting up pigs and bringing home chorizo and Italian face-bacon.In less than a week we go to Nicaragua to buy a house I've never seen. The plan is to use it as a vacation home for 2-3 years and then move there and open a restaurant. I'm a combination of terrified and excited and frankly have no idea what I'm doing any more with my life. The idea of simplifying enormously and doing something slightly insane is appealing, though.

Face Bacon would be a pretty good band name
Also, (1) go GRIZZ, and (2) Darko is getting increasingly threatening-looking mail from Mercedes-Benz. Should I open it?Man, our lives are so similar it's almost creepy.In less than a week we go to Nicaragua to buy a house I've never seen.

Dang. All I did was buy an electric guitar. A red one.Is this what a mid-life crisis feels like?

I can pick up some more cigars if anyone wants any.

A few years ago I was intently examining the mp3 player options at Walmart, when I realized that the incessant chatter of my then 3 year old son had for some reason ceased. Looking down, I saw that my boy was sipping from the straw of God-only-knows whose 44 oz McDonald's cup that had been sitting on the shelf for God-only-knows how long. :X As I gaped at him, the little Diego/Dora fan stops sipping, stands straight, licks his lips and says, "Mmmmm.....Delicioso!"I think the dog's water dish isn't all that bad.'Drifter said:While I was making my son and I some nice greasy burgers, I suddenly noticed I didn't hear him.

Count me in for a cigar and congrats on having the, uh, testicular fortitude for going for it. When we didn't think we were going to be able to have kids, we briefly considered moving to the Caribbean since we love the beach so much. Then it occurred to me that I have no real world marketable skills.'krista4 said:'Frostillicus said:Man, our lives are so similar it's almost creepy.'krista4 said:In less than a week we go to Nicaragua to buy a house I've never seen.

You certainly seem happy.'MisfitBlondes said:Don't even try to lie to me...lie to the others, don't ever try to lie to me. You will play the victim as long as it gets you attention. You will brag continually about all the PMs you get from guys on this site that offer you some sort of support. They think they are the only one but you don't keep secrets well. You've been so quick to offer advice to people but now it seems funny that everything you say isn't worth a damn since you've been full of it the entire time, huh? Your fantastic, ideal, "oh my god, I'm so in love, I'd never leave it," marriage...you are such a f'n liar. You stick your nose in everyone's relationship but your own. Hell, you even stick your nose in past relationships to try to keep the positive iAttention on yourself. Maybe the FBGs need to realize that you are nothing more than a bored, fat housewife with nothing better to do than pop out a few kids and take in others to justify yourself. Let's put it this way...my positive outlook came to being once I realized what a sack of crap you really are and I've been so much happier without you meddling in everything I do.Psh.Doug, you're right that this has been coming for years. Divorce always felt like failure to me so I stayed way too long. I'm nobody's victim, never will be. I had a rough week last week more around the kids than the marriage but things are already better. Thanks for the well wishes and positive outlook. You can always be counted on for that.

Verykrista - awesome plan! Too many people lack the courage to go for their dreams if it doesn't fall within society's norms. I wish you the best of luck and I have no doubt you'll have lots of great memories when you're much older.
I think Krista should start a thread about her adventures. I love chorizo! I'm glad to hear he is doing well. Thank you and congrats on the house, I can't wait to see it! As far as the mid-life crisis, I would ask mine but I sort of killed it with an ice pick.ETAHappy 7th birthday Cal!

that came out a little... meaner than I meant.I hope you and Floppo are happy together and things are working out.(both Floppo and I were married there - the island, not the restaurant).
