Yes.Do you recall the circumstances around you acquiring my number?I've just had a certain FBG ask me for another FBG's phone number because "it's going to be one of those nights".![]()

Oooo, just looked at it. That seems like a great deal!Thanks guys. The feeling I have now is probably how Woz felt after the first time he had sex with a human female.... I wimped out at the end. Just sick and tired of it. Give me a house damn it. Still got 30k off the asking price though.![]()

so he's related to you but with more money. what's not to hate?Speaking of buying a house...
My brother just dropped a little less than $500k on a house today...that he had never seen in person BEFORE TODAY.
Kind of a long story but he has been living in the Sacto area for the last 10 years. He's 51 or 52, twice divorced with no kids. A couple of months ago he applied for a big promotion at his job and got it. The promotion requires him to move to the LA area. Due to a bunch of different reasons the best thing for him to do was to buy a house here in Bakersfield and rent a dinky studio in LA. He'll probably spend most weekends here and eventually retire here.
In between selling his old house, putting stuff in storage (including leaving his 2010 convertible BMW at my mom's), renting the apt in LA, and starting his new job, he hasn't had much time to shop for his new house.
A house came on the market a few days ago that was exactly what and where he wanted. He contacted the agent and yadda yadda yadda.
So my mom sends out an email saying that we (mom, other brother, my sister etc) were going over to see the house. We all met at the real estate agent's office and she drove us over (gated community...not just key code but guardhouse+guard) and let us in.
We pull up and my brother says something like "That trim looked darker in the photos." I asked him "Wait...this is the first time you're seeing this house?!?". Yep.![]()
The house is awesome though. 4 bedrooms, 3 bath, pool, spa, waterfall/fountain, 3 car garage, RV parking, big backyard, cul de sac lot etc. The freaking laundry room is bigger than most people's kitchens.
I hate my brother.
Exactly. He's also been sober for 15+ years. I mean how much fun can he have with all that money and no drinking?so he's related to you but with more money. what's not to hate?Speaking of buying a house...

Your HD has a hot dog stand out front?Working on my kitchen sink this afternoon. Why are women inside the Home Depot at least one full point hotter than they would be outside Home Depot? And why are the hot dogs from the stand outside the Home Depot the best tasting things in the world? Brat with grilled onions and spicy mustard FTW.

Every home depot I've lived near in San Diego or Washington has a hot dog stand out front. They don't all have them? Do yours also not have Mexicans looking for work?Your HD has a hot dog stand out front?Working on my kitchen sink this afternoon.

Are you talking about a stand run by HD, or just a hot dog cart run by some independent guy? Because I've never seen either.Every home depot I've lived near in San Diego or Washington has a hot dog stand out front. They don't all have them?

I've seen both. Usually it's a little trailer pulled up right in front between the loading area and the front door. They sell dogs, brats, and polish sausages, chips and drinks. In Washington they sell latte, too.Are you talking about a stand run by HD, or just a hot dog cart run by some independent guy?

$5 for a dog, chips and a drink.Yea, just rub it in!

Considering the likely cooking conditions, that's a natural association to make.Our local Lowe's has the hot dog stand, not the Depot. It's the greatest smelling place in the world. Of course, I'll always associate that great odor with parts for my toilet.
There's a hotdog vender in Cincy that is missing out on a huge market by following you around.Yea, just rub it in!
I'm with shuke on this one. Never seen or heard of this phenomenon before. Day laborers out front of HD, sure. But never hot dog carts!There's a hotdog vender in Cincy that is missing out on a huge market by following you around.Yea, just rub it in!
You have to know this kind of post can't possibly compete with Home Depot hot dogs.So your date went well?I have four supercool sisters, an awesome mom, and have female friends that I'd give a kidney to.But I swear to Jebus, I'm really starting to fully hate women at this point. F###
so Wednesday night/Thursday morning around 2AM my wife wakes me for some, uh, "relations". Being a y-chromosome owner, I was more than happy to oblige after being awaken from my slumber.I'm 'bout to go see if this works out as well when roles are reversed. Will report back tommArow
I might hit Lowe's for a dog as well. Two-fer.Our local Lowe's has the hot dog stand, not the Depot. It's the greatest smelling place in the world. Of course, I'll always associate that great odor with parts for my toilet.
MY son is terrified of being swept out to sea! So I tell her I'd love to help her but the last thing I want to do is get in between a husband and wife who are in disagreement. "Oh, he doesn't care, I just need some help. Please!?" SIGH. So I get up and start walking toward the water with her. And that's when I realize she's the lady w/ the Sweater Kid. I can see her son in the water, with ANOTHER boy in a wool sweater. And it's this second kid that won't listen to his mom. 1st Sweater Kid is more than happy to follow his parents around and wallow in the sand. 2nd Sweater Kid just wants to play in the water. She says the boys have never been to the ocean and don't get how dangerous it is. So from the way they're dressed and the accent and this bit of info I figure they're from some remote inland backwater, like Kamloops or Milwaukee or something.
We get down to the boys and she starts yelling at "Ryan" (2nd Sweater Kid) that he needs to come with her and immediately he starts to run into the ocean. And she's chasing him and yelling "This man is a policeman and he's going to take you to prison if you don't come with me!!"
So eventually he runs away from her and right up to me, and I just squat down and ask if I can talk to him for a minute. And I explain very calmly that the ocean is very powerful and sometimes little guys like him can get surprised by how strong a wave is and get swept out into the ocean. I felt like such an idiot. I mean, that's true, but using fear to force this kid into the arms of his deranged mom?
Well, eventually she clamped her hand onto his arm and began dragging him back up the beach, with 1st Sweater Kid wallowing in the sand behind them the whole way. And of course she just kept yelling over at me "THANK YOU!!" and smiling hugely at me the whole time. I have no idea if I did the right thing, but I guess if I convince myself that maybe 2nd Sweater Kid didn't get hurt 'cause I talked to him I can feel better about it. :( And of course when I got back to my family my son asked a billion questions about what in the world I was doing and my wife made fun of me for the rest of the afternoon."This man is a policeman and he's going to take you to prison if you don't come with me!!"![]()

What'd I miss?Oof. Sorry, Homer.![]()
End of August. He bought me a little bell to ring anytime I need anything.When is GM moving in?Any Austin guys in here, shoot me a PM. I got final inspection on my kitchen and I am going to host a few dinner parties to make sure we get the operational flow down and work all the kinks out, before I bring in any residents. I'd be happy to fix you a meal, pour you some wine or booze and show you my new retirement home digs.
