wat?i doth protest... in general, i don´t like people...racistnot to hipple or quibble - but i´m pretty sure it is gnat...'McJose said:ka-nig-its?'BoerumHill said:Can't See Emstiny black knats'Mr.Pack said:Sorry, doing some hippling today......What does no-see-ums mean?Night was going smoothly, husband cooks dinner, I'm on my second glass of wine, etc. An hour ago, my cell phone rings with a local number. We have our house listed, so I'm going against normal protocols and answering any call that comes in.
Me: Hello?
Caller: Hi... my name is Heather, and I live across the canal from you.
Me: Hi, Heather!
Heather: Sweetie, your dock is floating away.
We race through the yard to the water and sure enough, thar she blows, about 20 yards from her resting place. While we didn't get much rain at our house, apparently the water levels are super high and the dock's iron loops rose above the pillars around which they normally rest.
Some quick thinking got us to get out our kayak and send Mr. YSR out in it to loop an electrical cord (couldn't find rope on such short notice) through the loops so we could rein her back in. We then spent the next 45 minutes affixing pieces of 2x4 to the tops of the pillars to make them taller.
Worth mentioning that I'm extremely sensitive to the no-see-ums in our backyard, especially down at the waterfront, and will be sure to have no fewer than 60 bites in the morning. I get 20 or so just while passing through that area quickly on the mower.
So, GMTAN, back to.
I read that the exact same way.
yes, you should always wear a bow tie with a dinner jacket/tuxedo. Should be a black bow tie.Not sure what other help to offer? Wiki explains it very well:Unlike white tie, which is very strictly regulated, black-tie ensembles can display more variation. In brief, the traditional components are: A jacket with ribbed silk facings (usually grosgrain) on a shawl collar or peaked lapel (while a notched lapel is a popular modern choice, it is traditionally considered less formal)[8] Trousers with a single silk or satin braid covering the outer seams A black cummerbund or a low-cut waistcoat A white dress shirt (a marcella front is traditional, but other styles are also accepted) with shirt studs (never buttons), French cuffs and cufflinks, and a turn-down or detachable wing collar (the latter now more commonly worn for white tie, but generally considered acceptable for black tie as well)[9] A black ribbed silk bow tie matching the lapel facings Shirt studs (optional, depending on the type of shirt) and cufflinks Black dress socks, usually of silk or fine wool Black shoes—highly polished or patent leather Oxfords, or patent leather court shoesPersonally I would pass on the cummerbund, and not a fan of shirt studs.
$13/hr weekdays; $15/hr weekendsSerious spinoff from the Johnnycakes disaster -How much do you all pay your babysitters?We usually get one of my (current or former) students and pay her $10 an hour, $40 min even if we come home early. <- cheapskate?

why would you decline surgery if you're in that much discomfort?
The chances of success are slim and the chances of additional problems are great according to my out-of-town podiatrist friend. He highly recommended against it and offered no hope of recovery without total rest of the foot and was not particularly hopeful about that.
have you tried any physical therapy for it?
Yeah, but there's really only things that somewhat relive the pain, not anything that fixes teh problem. I have a fancy foot massager that makes me feel better than any of the exercises, but 10 minutes after I stop, the pain comes back (same with the therapeutic exercises).
are you heterosexual?
man, sounds painful. my brother had some issues with it a few years back. he's a doctor, and he told me that it typically resolves on its own. he spent a few months doing physical therapy and icing it constantly, got some kind of orthotic that he used for a while, and it eventually healed.good luck.
Thanks I appreciate that. That's kind of how my podiatrist friend expained it. Quit using the foot and it may well heal itself. But I have just been too much under the gun to take off. So the next week I am putting on the orthopedic boot and using crutches to completely stay off the foot. I hope it works
appreciate it. my wife will probably be completely sick of the "step and fetch" routine by the weekend. Want to came over and assume the fetching the drug and alcohol duties for the weekend? I'll share.
stretch... if you can´t stand, bend over and put your palms an the floor or on the top of your feet your leg muscles are too tight (or you´r belly is way too big). work backwards on stretching (achilles, calves, hams). they make special socks/booties you sleep in to stretch the achilles. that plus rice... and time...cutters always like surgery - that is how they make their money. been cut several times and it is seldom as good as advertised. the wife´s experience is similar. exhaust all avenues before doing the knife...ymmv...
at seeing Bruce Willis dressed is such stylish 80's garb. But 
Not in Bakersfield.
Don Johnson does not get enough credit for Heartbeat IMO.
Bruce Willis is a different case though. Most people forget he was a *decent* musician long before he got into acting. He even played at the original Woodstock.
My wife had it for almost a year, she was told to freeze bottles of water and roll her foot over the frozen bottles while while sitting or watching TV. Used the boot at night for a few months but that did not seem to help at all. The pain finally subsided after 6-7 months but took almost a full year to go away.
I think my wife has it or has had it or something I don't know I really don't pay much attention to her.I know they make some stretchy contraptions that go around your leg and foot to keep your foot flexed and gently stretched while you sleep that are supposed to help.
oh yeah this must be a thing cuz my wife does this too
Going rate in NYC is $15/hr. We've got a couple we're paying $12 for our 4yo. We have one we pay $20 for our 2month old. I don't like that. NOt at all.Serious spinoff from the Johnnycakes disaster -How much do you all pay your babysitters?We usually get one of my (current or former) students and pay her $10 an hour, $40 min even if we come home early. <- cheapskate?
ple hate him.
its' funny because it's true.
Alright, so it seems I'm somewhat on the cheap side, but not disgustingly so and my kid is real easy to watch. Gracias, all.Going rate in NYC is $15/hr.

but you can share them?totally agree with you, btw. we have an entire street around the corner that is bascially only tapas restaurants/bars. the bar part is the key- you get drunk and then think it's fun to share overpriced crap with your friends. X
My wife has battled it off and on for years- sounds like the absolute suck.I think it's basically stretch and ice and hope it goes away eventually. like an STD. minus the stretching and icing.
Bring the wine.50-something female co-worker just asked me "Mike, what does 'BTW' mean in texting shorthand?"

for a wedding, I agree, but the original post stated it was a black tie event. I guess it depends on how traditional they are
Why? Are you horny?
There is an actor named Walton Goggins, and a poster named Walton Goggins. They are two different people.I'm confused. Is Walter Groggins supposed to be someone mildly famous or is that Carson Daly thread all shtick?I've never read a single post by Groggins. I just know about him from how much p:e

5-Guys has shtick? I think we're getting one here soon.Was starving after work yesterday...long weekend with a lot of brews, coupled with an early drive back from Seattle to Portland absent any real food. So by 3pm yesterday, I was ready to eat my hand. I drive by a Fudruckers every day on my way home and haven't stopped in once in 3 years. Yesterday, I broke down and went in. Ordered up the 1/2 pound Chipotle BBQ Burger and had an ice cold Rolling Rock. Not sure if it was my hunger or not, but it was the best damn burger I've had in a long time. Loved piling on the fresh iceberg lettuce, the banana peppers and all the pickles I could want. Much much MUCH better than 5 Guys without that obnoxious "1 IN THE DOOR!!!!" bit they do at 5-Guys.
Might just have to get another one of those today as my wife is out of town and nobody made my lunch this morning.
