GM's thread about nothing (25 Viewers)

After a 10 day bender, I decided not to drink until at least Saturday. I just realized I'm not going to make it.

Got my first senior discount today. Thought for sure it would have been more of a thrill. Picked up some stuff for my daughters birthday party this weekend (superfluous aside to FB friends - yesterday, but last weekend was jammed). At the checkout, the clerk gives me the once over. "How old are you?" I hesitate for a split second, but then figure out what's up. "50" I say quietly (if I were Asian - newborns are called one). I'm really 49. She picks up a coupon laying next to her register. "Wednesday is Senior Day" :mellow: Shockingly, the $1.58 saved didn't soothe my ego one bit.

My official come-on to join AARP arrived in today's mail. Is there even any reason to look at women any more? :kicksrock:

This is what pisses me off about 49 more than anything else. Listen, I got the dad life all the way. Two great kids, volunteer at the school as Treasurer, happily committed. It's a good life, and I'm content. But I'm a man, I love to look (discreetly) as much as anyone. And in Manhattan, the scenery is pretty damn nice. I was cool with that when I was 48.

All of sudden, this year I'm like all self-conscious. It's like before, I'd be like - I don't want it...but if I did, I'd tap that. It's not like I'm out there chasing, but I always felt it's like riding a bike. Now I feel like the only possible reaction would be "Ew...that's gross, you're a dirty old man"

When the #### did that happen?

Can't we just tell Romo that you don't want to go to TN?

Oh, he knows. If all goes to plan (i.e. beggars can't be choosers on the job front right now and we both have pretty good prospects), he'll head to TN and get some training in this new industry and I'll live with my folks in SC and work at this new job. We'll both make some $$$ with very few expenses and see each other every weekend. It will only be for a couple of months, until he is up to speed and can sell himself to a company in SC - and frankly, it will be like we are dating again. :longdistanceromance:

Interesting turn of events here today/tonight. Found out that he doesn't want to move to SC, which is a bit of a stomach punch since we have planned to do so since December (even sharing the news with the 200+ people who came to our engagement party in April). Wine> hey. Be by to pick you up in about 9 minutes.

Your husband sounds like a self-absorbed asswipe. Forrest> you Smooing the funds or what?

:goodposting: You should bring him to fishinghole12... pretty sure he can be convinced to leave mommmy...

 
99% sure they switched writers on New Girl from the pilot to the regular ones. These last two episodes have been brutal. To the point where I'm going with a "No Zooey" avatar policy for now.

Also Robbie Cano is an american hero. And I'm never betting on YES/NO HR allowed again. I mean, unless it's REALLY obvious.

 
Is it bad that even though I'm 38 years old and when asked, I answer that I'm "in my thirties," I really think of myself as 40?

I find this so weird.

No, but it is weird that you just don't answer "38.""In my thirties" is a less than manly response IMO

I phrased this wrong. When people ask if I'm in my thirties, I say yes. But I think of myself as 40. I'm drunk. Cut me some slack. It doesn't happen often. I'm just lucky I have ok sentence structure here.

And yet you started a sentence with but. Who are you, Jack Kerouac?

Hypothetical for the group…The person that you share a bed with on occasion has been out of the country for a little over a year and is finally coming home on a specific date. Unbeknownst to you, the person coming home has the ability to return about a week or so earlier than he or she has been forthcoming with. Assuming the person who can return sooner actually wishes to do so (duh), which of the following would you prefer?1. Be aware of the actual date so that you can plan (have the house ready, inform the hypothetical child, kick out the boyfriend or girlfriend, arrange airport pickup, etc…).2. Be surprised by said hypothetical person showing up unannounced earlier than expected.3. Something different from the above options (please show all work).Thanks for reading, will answer yours.

I had this happen to me, and I opted for #2. But I was only gone for three months, and I came back a day early, but principle remains the same.Anyway, my chick was ultra-surprised/happy (I know, right), and we had crazy monkey sex. I would say you should take her cycle into account or whatever, but after a year, who cares? #goredwings #crimscene.

You ####s ever heard of the International Date Line?

:lmao:Quick story: Worked with this real dumb broad at work. She invited some of us out to her birthday at some bar one weekend. I asked her what day her birthday was... "It's Saturday." "No, when's your real birthday, like what day?" "I was born on the 8th, Saturday, that's why I'm having the party on Saturday." Me: "Originally?" Her: :confused: Me: "Your birthday is still on the same day you were born?" Her: "Huh?"Me: "You've never been outside the country?"Her: "Yeah, I have, but so what?"Me: "Did you have to change your watch when you got there?"Her: "Yeah, it was a different time and a different date."Me: "Well, there you go. When you came back home, did you go the long way around the globe and cross the International Date Line, or did you come back the short way?"Her: "Came back the same way, the short way."Me: "Yeah. Exactly. If you don't go the long way around, you don't make up the day you missed. Your birthday is really on Sunday now."Her: "Really?" :cry:

:lol:rickyjgo - as much fun as a surprise would be, I agree with others that emotional boost knowing you'll be back a week sooner is worth telling her.

How often would I be sharing a bed with said person if they were in the country? If I was married/committed, I'd want the surprise. Otherwise I want time to change the sheets.
