GM's thread about nothing (30 Viewers)

Nice to see everyone. With Basketball and Hockey over, the NFL Locked out, and the marlins looking for better and more interesting ways to lose, it looks like a sports free summer.

Need to catch up on my reading and movie watching.

GM, CQ, and the rest of the old gang> Hi.

Oh, hello Steve!
 
Got convinced to switch from cable to Direct TV this week at Sams. Install is next Saturday, so I've got a week to change my mind if I want to. I hate Time Warner with a passion and my monthly bill is going down, so I'm not sure how I would change my mind, but looking for thoughts.
Love direct tv
 
Anybody have any experience with those backpack thingies that you throw toddlers into when you hike? Any recommendations? I tried stuffing him into my standard backpage but he screamed the whole time.
Baby bjorne then the one from HI when the kid gets bigger. I went on long 2-3 hour hikes with my daughter when she was little. Great bonding time and a nice break for mom I used to have long conversations with her, highly recommend it.
 
Almost just posted on FB. It seems really funny now but I have this feeling it might not tomorrow.
My GB that lives east of Chicago
They live in the lake? :mellow:
sounds like they do now.
Sorry, south of Chicago. :bag:Really great gal/couple, I feel terrible for them. What really sucks is the house has been for sale the last 6 months, they have 4 yo twins and she just recently got (unplanned)knocked up.

Sounds like the house isn't the only thing that's been flooded lately, amirite?

Post in question

My post was going to be something like LOL Hilarious XXX! Oh, I didn't read the rest of your post, that's too bad. :bag:
Pic 2 is insane.
seriously! who would choose those paint colors?
 
Was having a bad morning going at the office. It got worse...Wife just texted me that we are the proud owner of four new tires. I had no idea we even needed them. She tells me that her "tire light" had been on, but she just thought it was because one was low. Said all four were bald. She spent $400 on tires without even a mention to me first. FML.
$400 for 4 tires? That's an awesome deal. Are you sure they are made out of rubber?
Not really pissed about the price. More pissed that she drops money like this on a consistent basis without as much as a mention until it's done, and with no research at all on her part. Her financial habits are almost as frustrating as her bedroom habits are.

At least she spent $400 on something utilitarian. TRUST ME, it could be much worse. :hot:

Email number 1 from wife to me this morning:
hu 6/16/2011 10:45 AM: Guess how much I just got coops pocket knife for?
Email number 2 from wife to me this morning:
Thu 6/16/2011 10:57 AM: You are taking too long to guess! It was regular $36 on sale for $24 and I had a $17 rebate so I got it for $7!!!
Big fan of her frugality; less of a fan of her need for me to reply faster to her emails.

:goodposting:There are two things a woman must be willing to do to be considered good wifey material. Delighting in finding a good bargain is one of them.GB never arguing about money.

I agree, but the fact that she spends money, without a care in the world, doesn't say anything or says something after the fact, and then complains that I need to take "full responsibility of the finances", is going to end our marriage just as fast as lack of sex. I'm glad she bought the tires, this is the same woman who punctured a hole in her oil pan while picking up the kids from school, and then drove all the way home. I picked up a trail of oil a mile from the house and laughed to myself that some poor schmuck was going to be pissed to find his car with no oil until the trail of oil turned up into my driveway and right under the closed garage door. Instead of blowing up, I stayed quiet just to see what she would say. It took three hours before she mentioned that I might want to check the car. She bumped something on the way home.

This is eerily similar to my experience. Took my then GF, now wife, camping for an annual Memorial day camping/drunk fest. First night she downs a pint of Jameson and spends the whole night throwing up. Decides to leave at about 4:00 AM and drive home by herself. Later that day, I hitch a ride for me, my dog and our stuff from another person camping. We're driving down the dirt road and there's a large protruding rock in the middle of the road, immediately followed by a trail of oil, that lasts about half a mile. My and my ride chuckled extensively about the dumb SOB that punctured their oil pan on such an obvious hazard. I finally get home and my wife isn't there. She finally shows up and yes, the poor dumb SOB was her. Seized engine.To make matters worse, sometime shortly after that, she decides that her car isn't reliable (despite having just gotten a brand new engine) and she trades it in for an OLDER, more expensive one (name brand upgrade). Of course, the "new" car ended up costing her and then me about $1700 a year until I finally unloaded it last year. :wall:

If you have frequent heavy rainstorms DirecTv is going to piss you off.If not and you like having all of the NFL games then party on Garth.

Also, week of August 6th through the 14th I will be where you are. Cornhole sir? :unsure:

I'll likely be out of town on both of those weekends, but in town all week. Need to find some shuffleboard partners.

:bag: I once accidentally skewered a five gallon bucket of drywall sealer with a floor scraper in the back of my truck just by slamming the brakes at a yellow/reddening light. From that light to my driveway, 3/4s of a mile, I spilled a perfect but slowly thinning white line. I often used it to give people directions to my house.

:bag:

A weeknight with some black and tans and getting my ### handed to me in shuffleboard works.Pick a night, I'll be on vacation.

 
If you were driving through the middle of a desert wasteland and a little hungry, would you eat at a place called:



The Road Kill Grill?

eta: If yes, would you still eat there if you had a couple options like The Desert Lodge or Billy's Diner?
