My oldest turns 7 years old today. Feels like the job of being a Dad really starts now. I remember so much when I was seven and older, and he has started asking questions, making choices, having trouble making decisions. It's like his life is just beginning. It's no longer just feed, clean and protect. Time to teach.
He had a Super Mario party on Saturday. Was great times. Had one other boy and six girls at the party. That's my boy!!
We sat Sunday and built a really cool Star Wars Lego spaceship that he got at his party. If I was super rich, I would own every Lego set there is. Was tons of fun, tons of memories flowing back. We got him a Nintendo DSi and you would have thought I had bought him a car. One of the first times he has really been excited about a gift well after he got it.

Those things are awesome.
Which one did you build? My son loves them and is now to a point where he needs very little help assembling.He loves the Lego Star Wars Wii game too. Two years later, and that one game is what he still spends >90% of his limited video game time on. He really wants the new one.

It was the General Grievous Starfighter. Probably one of the more generic ones, but the construction was a lot of fun. I can only imagine what the Falcon or X-wing would be like to build, ships that have more history.My son is really into the Legos, and really into all the Star Wars Lego games for both Wii and Xbox, but I can't get him to watch the freakin' movies yet. He just doesn't have the want for that yet. Almost as frustrating for me as his lack of interest in sports.Those things are awesome.

Oh wow. My son fell in love with the original Star Wars movie just before his 2nd birthday. I couldn't believe it. First movie/show he had the patience to sit through for more than 20 minutes.He still plays with a present from his 2nd birthday.It was the General Grievous Starfighter.

So then the solution is I should get to know her?That text you sent last night didn't go over so well. Apparently it wouldn't have been a big deal but she doesn't know you. Makes no sense. Just half an hour earlier I asked Mrs. SLB who some chick was on FB was sending me a friend request. Then I made the mistake of telling her that several girls that are FOF's have sent me friend requests but I ignored them. I'm sure that helped.I got my finger on the button here people.I do. Please delete.I have hundreds of clients and I would prefer for them to not know I'm on FB or here for that matter. Thanks GB.'BobbyLayne said:Who the #### uses an alias on Facebook
if you didn't use a fake name on fb none of this ever would have happened
In all seriousness I'm sorry GB. Creating angry wives was not my intent.

I know GB, it's all good. It was just weird timing last night. She was in bed and I was about join her and turn my phone off. Then the two texts went off. Expecting a pic of a toilet or bottle of booze I opened it and she saw the very tame pic. I think she was more pissed because in her mind a chick sent it to me. It really was quite baffling. There are many stories I could share that would make it even seem more of a non-issue. About once a year she gets really jealous and suspicious of every other woman on the planet. Pretty sure this has more do with her bear attracting period than anything.So then the solution is I should get to know her?That text you sent last night didn't go over so well.

'shuke said:I have to admit, up until a month ago or so I thought Fin was 100% shtick. Now I kind of feel bad about about being skeptical.Maybe it's the fact that his life experiences are nothing like mine. Getting stabbed at an AA meeting? I've got nothing on par with that.However, I call total bull#### on these statements that all his posts are genuine. Plenty of fin posts are shtick, and it's some of the best on the board. One of my all time favorites is when he went into one of the BBQ threads, which are pretty serious business around here, and said he had just grilled some hot dogs after marinating them overnight in root beer.

I've played Morro Bay a few times. Love that course. Got pretty shirtfaced there too.I also rolled in a hooking 12 foot birdie on the 18th at Morro Bay to shoot an 84 and beat my golf bum nephew by one stroke. He bogeyed the hole.
It's good to be home. I usually despise the Mojave in summer. Obviously menopause isn't an exciting topic here and I'm probably a generation or more ahead of the gmtan demographic, but guys... married guys... haha ... it's a comin' and it's a not a very nice. I have no idea if I will ever remarry. I'm not as adorable as GM, so one blown shot at it may be all I get, but at 49 staring down the big five oh, I am pretty damned glad to be single if that means not being married through a change of life. Two of my four sisters are married. Their husbands stared at the ocean a lot. I would not blame them for drinking and driving... responsibly as described in this thread.
I figured the best way to beat this is to continually marry younger and younger women. Wife number one was 4 years younger. Wife two is 8 years younger. Wife three will be 16 years younger and so forth.I like the thought of staring into the ocean, though.

Hey. So my friend has a mole near the outter edge of his armpit. But it's not just a dark nub. It's like floppier than a regular mole. People say it looks like a wad of dirt and it makes him feel bad. Instead of going to a doctor to have it removed, would snipping it with scissors be pretty safe?

Can you really not find real maple syrup where you live? Wouldn't the cost to ship it be more than the cost of this stuff? I think my kids like it.So I guess my request for you to send me maple syrup is out of the question?

Well, I'm all caught up here, but still a little confused, so let me see if I got everything right.....
Looks like Cosjobs had a nice party at his assisted living palace, but the guest of honor disappointed with his lack of magical outer space hair. Homer and Chaos went on vacations, though Homer was put off by everybody going to sleep so early and Chaos had to deal with menopausal monsters who tried their best to ruin his trip, but were foiled by the clever Chaos. And did Homer say his sister has a girlfriend?
Shuke quit, then came back. His will power is astonishing. Pickles is a few mouse clicks away from becoming an internet mogul. SLB, YSR and Krista dealt with crappy realtors and even crappier car dealers. Gadzooks finally finished us off in Scrabble. Rude tried to make fun of grown-ups watching Harry Potter, but it went over about as well as me making fun of pancake eaters.
Meanwhile, my fellow Oregonians put their heads together and have figured out the best way to kill an animal I've never heard of before. Tanner and Truck are still using alias accounts that I recognize, so they must have played nice over the weekend. Thorn sent out a text message that didn't go over too well with the normally mild mannered and fun loving SLB. Mrs. BSR is short maple syrup.
Fin has stepped up and convinced us all that he's for real. Hack and Bostonfred said so, so it must be true. Frosty has a new TV show to watch, but it might interfere with his love for Harry Potter, meat raffles and Minn sports teams. Stryker thinks he needs to buy his wife a wedding day gift, but that went over like a turd in a punch bowl with this crowd. Bogart and Stu talked about Star Wars legos and sadly, that was about the 12th nerdiest thing I had to read in this thread over the weekend. Captain Quinoa made me barf in my mouth with his skin tag advice. Furley is still too cranky for my tastes.
Did I miss anything?

There may be a problem. Mrs. SLB asked me months ago to secure supervision for the temporary abandonment of our kids that weekend and I failed to do so. I thought she was taking care of it but hey, being at the pool all summer is hot, grueling work. My parents are heading to Chicago themselves the same weekend so that is out. So that only leaves my SIL & BIL. :(

Saturday night at Salty's on Alki Beach, the drinks are flowing, the weather is perfect, the weekend was sublime and the only human being with more alcohol coursing through their body than me was my little sister, who is kind of going through a little rough patch in life. The guy getting married is an old friend of mine that I haven't seen in several years, but the two of us used to laugh so hard when we got together that our sides would hurt the next day. He told my wife on Friday that whatever leash she kept me on needed to be let out for Saturday. She laughed at him and said "You must have me confused with his last wife!"
So the expectation of my friend was that GM needed to be wound up and set free. Considering the fact that I was absent any children and wasn't going anywhere near a vehicle, I decided to endear myself to the bartenders and wanted to make sure all the spirits and beverages received the Malaise love. After a nice meal and a nice smoke, the sun began to set and the old boy from Portland began to par-TAY! :getdown:
There's some fuzzy moments, but recollections are there and thankfully, my lovely bride has reinforced their existence in my brain. Her personal favorite memory was talking to another woman she had just met that night on the perimeter of the dance floor. The lady she was talking to broke up their conversation, pointed in the general direction of a man with a stranger's tie on his head, his shirt unbuttoned to his navel and a white, origami flower made out of a napkin in his shirt pocket. She said to my wife "Oh my god, look at that guy! Is he doing The Sprinkler?"....to which my wife had to respond to her "uh, wow...that's my husband". The lady patted her on the back and just walked away.
I guess I had a tie exchange with some dude in the bathroom, but for some reason, I came home with BOTH ties in my suit pocket. Not sure how that worked. My sister gave up the ghost early on. She had her head down on the table by 10pm and was passed out cold.
The bus took us back to downtown Seattle where we took a cab to my friend's house in Green Lake at 1am. I realized when we got back that I was still hungry, so I took my wife with me and we went to Safeway down the street. There, I bought sushi and pistachios and tore into them back at my friend's house. I also mixed a mimosa. Slap it high?
