GM's thread about nothing (28 Viewers)

Somebody has been calling my cell for the last two weeks while having their number blocked from caller ID. When I answer there is silence but somebody is there.

:mellow:

Somebody needs to knock it the #### off before I get angry.

 
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.
Ephesians 5:22-33 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
Tough break, kid.
 
Anybody ever give HBO's Latin/Spanish Channel a go? I did last night for a few enough minutes. Holy moly...You guys ever catch what goes on there? Last night was some show about hookers in Uraguay. I think. I don't really know any spanish, but I think I got the word for 'hooker' and 'Uruguay' down. :unsure:

Makes Real Sex and Cathouse look like Real People and Dollhouse. :mellow:
Made some crockpot chicken, eh?
I had to. It was like the TV reached out and polished my knob for me.Also, Krista...thoughts on buying a house in Uraguay?
One of my best friends got married in Uruguay. It indeed has really beautiful women as well as beautiful beaches and great, inexpensive wine. I will put it on my list as I expand my Latin American Property Baroness empire.
YEAH!

 
This thread is dying today.

It started raining about an hour ago. I saw this goofy 7th grader trying to slide on a wet sidewalk. He was taking about a 5 step running/skipping head start and sliding. I told him to knock it off. He tells me "Why, I'm not going to fall? Watch!" Of course he tries it again and falls flat on his ### right in front of about 30 other kids. All of the other kids just looked at me to see what I would do. I just looked at him and told him "I should write you up for defiance but I think you've been punished enough." Then I looked at the crowd around him and said "Feel free to laugh at him all you want."

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?
Around 35 :coffee:
38 here and I'm starting to feel that way. I still get checked out by hot 20somethings now and then, but there's been a precipitous drop over the past couple years. Now it's almost always women in the late 30s and 40s. Which is fine, they're my age, but I've never noticed an age distinction before. It's like a barrier was erected overnight, and only a slight few bother climbing it to check me out. If I were a wide receiver, I'd be in denial about my lack of speed.

AND...I have this new student this year. She's Pakistani but spent most of her life in London. She's got that goofy accent and everything. She's also kind of a PITA. I think she's great but she's a little needy.We're taking a test today and I give them about 10 mins study time before the test. In that 10 minutes she asked about 10 questions "Do we have to have a test today?" "Why is it so long?" (which it isn't) "Can we have 5 more minutes to study?"Her final question was "Can we just do 15 questions today and then 15 questions tomorrow?" I told her "Look, I don't know how they did it back in England at Hogwarts but that's not how we do it here."Tomorrow I'm going to start calling her "Ringo" just to amuse myself even more.
 
Just saw the invite list for a buddy's bachelor party. Headed to Windsor the weekend of the 21st and staying at Caesar's. It's a group of about a dozen of the heaviest drinking, dirtiest bastards I know. Should be...interesting

Settle down monkey or I will Zippy you while I pay the rest. Your side bets didn't come overnight either, professor.

Tape this on her test next to her failing grade.
 
Big bowl of phở for lunch - shrimp, squid, crab, and pork. With soft-boiled quail eggs, which are really tasty but a ##### to pick up with chopsticks.

 
Forrest> you Smooing the funds or what?
:popcorn:
I'm waiting for the funds to hit paypal. As soon as they hit, I will send your money to you. I'm hitting F5 in there now. I even updated my bank card info because Tre promised it would hasten the transfer. It didn't. I have an unblemished record of returning funds to all fantasy participants for well over a decade. I'm on it. I assure you.

I vote guilty...can't trust those albinos.I am probably more pale than the swindler we are speaking of, so I would know.

Hey GM, you going to be in Dallas this October?
No, Mac...sorry. Is my 20th this year too, but I just can't swing it as my cousin is getting married in Phily this weekend and I'd rather drink with relatives that hate me than fellow graduates who hate me.

You're only as good as your last transaction. Already have cosjob's physical cheque in my hands. Just let us know if money is tight this month, TU. We understand.
 
So I get home from work yesterday and want to mow the lawn. I get the keys and go out to the shed.

Unlock the shed, can't get the key out, so I jiggle it a little like I normally have to, the keychain falls apart, and as I'm looking down I see the key to the lawnmower take one hop and right between he wood slats that make up the ramp to the shed.

No effing way.

I look over the situation, decide we must have a spare key. WRONG

Go back out and look again. I decide to get a crowbar. Back to the garage get crowbar.

Go back to the shed, the guy that lived here before me was a hack, so I figured this would be easy, pry off the slat, get key, pound slat back on. WRONG. The one thing he did right, screwed it in. I was able to pry it up just enough to see the key and swear it was laughing at me. Swear at it again.

Back to the garage, to find a needle-nose pliers. I also grabbed a snake magnet and a tin snips. Why the tin snips? I don't know, it was long and thin.

Back to the shed. Pry it open enough to get the snake magnet in there, and it grabs the key. Pull it out slowly but the opening isn't big enough and the key pops off. Back in with the magnet, this time the key turns, but doesn't fall off...... SUCCESS!!!!!

Get the mower out and drive it around front, but notice it's not turning very easily. I inspect the mower and find I have a flat tire. Decide to take tire off and go get it filled, only taking the tire off would be a PITA so I decide to run to Home Depot and buy a compressor.

Get home fill tire.

Fire up the mower, and get about a 1/4 of the way done and run out of gas. I forgot I ran it really low last time planning for winter.

Head to gas station, fill gas can, get back home, fill tank up a little bit and finally finish mowing the lawn. A 2 1/2 hour job that normally takes me about an hour or so,

After initial setup it will be instant for you. Trust me. I just paid out all of the homer league stuff this week without a dime actually in paypal.

Is this left over from April? I'm confused.
 
Wife on her way to Colorado and the kids are with my parents until Friday. I expect I'll be posting things in this thread that I won't remember in the morning.

I didn't want anything other than to be paid for my hard work. I was sincerely hoping for a net worth rant, but I suppose this will do.
 
Just saw a guy at work who is probably as balding as me (which is pretty balding), yet has grown the hair longer on top and then shaped it into a metro Faux Hawk. This has resulted in two expanses of bald on each side of said Faux Hawk that look like a skin moat. Not a good look, buddy. From one bald guy to another, you need to embrace it, not run from it.

Net Worth?Here's a visualof what my net worth looks like after the last quarter.

Also, I paid out Jet and Rene and Sofa and Guru already because I like them more than you.
