GM's thread about nothing (39 Viewers)

'gianmarco said:
Brought my dog to the Petsmart Doggie Day Camp as he goes on a regular basis. One of the doggie "moms" celebrated her dog's birthday by buying the overpriced $4 treats for all the dogs. Actually a very nice gesture and I'm sure my dog enjoyed it. I go to pick him up and....Petsmart employee: "Sampson was great today. And one of the dog owners bought treats for all the dogs today since it was their dog's birthday"Me: "We don't give my dog treats and he has all kinds of food sensitivities including nuts. I never signed a permission form. This would never happen at my son's school"Petsmart employee: "Umm.........(long pause)"Me: "I'm just kidding. Thanks, I'm sure he loved it!"Petsmart employee (with a look of relief and confusion rolled into one): "You're welcome"
:lmao: Awesome
The gift that keeps on giving.....I drop him off yesterday in the morning. Same employee as Friday:Petsmart Employee (because he has to): "So do you want to get a treat for Sampson today?" Me: (scowl) "No one's buying today?"Petsmart Employee: (nervous smile) "No"Me: "Then no. But thanks for asking this time" :D
 
Krista, is there a non-snake season there?
No one has seen them in our house, and our property guy says because of something to do with our roof (which I didn't understand at all) snakes are less likely. We are going to switch the roof to what he says will more fully prevent both snakes and scorpions (again, totally don't get it).The one snake we've seen in our all our visits throughout the area was in another house, about six inches long and so non-scary that we got right now on the floor with it to take pictures. I'd really not worry about the snakes. Not so thrilled with the scorpions, though.
If you buy one of these, you can do a quick sweep of the house with it and they'll stand out like GM in Ethiopia. I can also appreciate if you'd rather not know. That's kind of the approach my wife takes. If I'm tooling around in the backyard at night, I'll make a quick loop with the flashlight and pick off any I encounter. I'd like to say you get used to them, but it's not true. One of those little bastards kept me from getting the sechs once, so I take my revenge every opportunity I get.

:lmao: Yes, I mean "in" the house. I guess my criteria have become a bit looser regarding what is acceptable when I'm dealing with a third-world country and indoor-outdoor living. Other than the bedrooms and bathrooms, the house is outside--meaning the kitchen, dining room, office, most of the living space are not able to be closed off and are open to the outdoors. But you could get the critters within the bedrooms anyway due to the cracks and especially the roofs.As to the scorpions, I did not know about the UV lights and appreciate the tip! Basically people just shake out their shoes and their bedding down there to be safe. I haven't seen one yet; the one spotted in our house was by the cleaning lady who freaked out about it. We're getting fumigated for this and that, but it's just a fact of life there anyway.
There are granules you can put down around the perimeter that will kill them if they crawl through it. Of the ones we've encountered inside our house, only one has ever been alive.

leaving work today at 11am (now) then going to see U2 at Heinz Field. Now, if I can just get rid of this stupid headache I've had since I woke up this morning.

When I loved in Manitou SPrings, we used to find them all the time in one of the bathtubs. There's nothing like awaking early in the morning to a shrieking, naked wife.Spraying a solution of Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap around the perimeter of the house works amazingly well. Adding garlic and thyme to the solution helps even more.

Ah, I used to awake to my ex-wife shrieking, but it was usually because I was naked.
 
Pokerguys> how can this be real?
The rationale is that because it's such an advanced book and can be used to win in big games, it will (in theory) more than pay for itself. In practice, it can help a good player get better, but it's not going to turn an OK player into a high-stakes winner by itself.Of course, it's available to just download free if you hunt around enough. Pretty interesting content, but I think Studs and Duds edited it.

 
Also, mystery house thread is a must-read. Seriously.
OK, two people whose views I respect have said this. What's the draw there? Just a :tfp: ?
Yeah, it's just a Royal Rumble of shtick. "Later transvestite", a millipede wearing 500 pairs of Prada sneakers, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
I was thinking about a half day off of work tomorrow to do some stuff around the house. I'm now taking the whole day off so I can spend a chunk of it re-reading that thread. It's that good.
 
i bought my gf a non-traditional engagement ring in lieu of a diamond, until we can afford to get married.

any of you idiots do anything similar to this?
yes - I bought a diamond and sapphire "anniversary band"
thinking this might be in one of those long engagements(year +). We have been together almost 7 years since i was 20, and have our first baby on the way. Couldnt justify dropping that much coin on a diamond engagement ring at this time.

Sounds like you have a very reasonable and level headed young lady on your arms. Congrats! :thumbup:

thanks, but youre giving her too much credit. this thing is REALLY shiny
 
I'm only a casual reader of the FFA. I come and go. So could someone explain to me what it means to Hipple a thread?
It's when you make multiple replies to posts that occurred much earlier in the thread. So a thread's on page 20, and you post several replies to posts made in Page 3. Hipple always does this. Some people hate it more than cancer, others find it amusing.

Thanks. :thumbup: Don't bother answering my pm at the oth:e:r place. I could smell the sex in this post and figured it out.

Am I one of those two, or part of the jabbering rabble?Also - you moved to Nicaragua full-time or did you pick up a vacation spot? Mrs. Sack and I and have been seriously considering teaching English abroad because education stateside sucks balls right now. We heard of a killer program where you work on annual contracts (first contract is two years), they provide a house, maid, nanny, free private school education for your offspring, and you teach private school kids without downs syndrome or meth addictions. Apparently you come out ahead with decent coin (for educators) since most of your living expenses are covered. Mrs. Sack met a couple who did this for 10 years. After 5 they were able to buy a nice lakehouse in Ithaca and summer here.
It took me to here to remember who dharma was. :bag:I'm getting really bad about alias recall. I think it might be early onset Alzheimers. Or just brain damage from the booze.

That's how I initially stumbled upon this. Mr. YSR asked me to find it online for free and I just headed over to see just how much we would be saving. :jawdrop:
 
Finless's thread losing steam quickly. Started off good, got to great in a hurry, now petering out big time. Probably time to just kill it altogether.

Now sure why I'm gonna throw this out there, but I've come to the conclusion that I'm a middle aged Lloyd Dobler. I don't want to work, but I don't want to not work either. There's lots more stuff that I don't want to do, but I don't not want to do them either......Not sure if I'm the definition of ambivalence or apathy here. Thoughts and prayers are always appreciated.

p and s if anyone wants to send me a pm on how to download that book for free, it would be much appreciated. I have no idea how to use any torrents at all, tried to download some television #### last year so I could watch some bundesliga games and gave my work computer a virus and some nice adware. :thumbup:

Welcome to... whatever.
 
Last night we all had eggplant parm for dinner, including our 16 month old daughter. As we were changing her diaper, this conversation took place:

Wife: "Look at this red spot on her face, what do you think that is?"

Me: "Maybe she's allergic to eggplant...(mumbles) every father's dream."

Wife: :confused:

Me: :shrug:

Dammit. I don't have time for this. I stopped reading Finless threads a long time ago. While sometimes amusing, the fiction/non-fiction question gave me tired-head.
