GM's thread about nothing (43 Viewers)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Mrs. SLB and myself watched The Fourth Kind last night. I'm officially freaked out. Based on a true story

Is that about alien abductions?If so I can't watch it. When I was a kid I read that Whitley Striber hoax: Communion, in which Striber claims to have been abducted/contacted by aliens in his rural Upstate New York home. Me being young, impressionable, and living in a rural home in Upstate New York promptly crapped brain fluid and couldn't sleep right for months. Years later I'd still wake up now and then feeling overly tired, and had to convince myself it wasn't because I'd been abducted, anally raped by a metallic nozzle, and had my memory erased.

It effed me up so bad that I still can't watch abduction movies today. I know the Striber book was all a hoax to drive books sales, but abduction movies still give me insane nightmares.

If I ever bump into Striber at a book convention I swear I'm going to anally probe him with the wide end of my boot.

My wife was just named interim director...She will likely be too busy for early Dec. fun and games in Seattle. Should I try and get kevzilla to come along as an alternate companion?

Cos,Coming back for PacNW cornhole 2.0 already? Excellent! Count me in where and whenever. Hopefully I'm employed by then and flush with drinking money but, if not, my schedule ought to be wide open. And if you need a place to crash, add Casa Pigskin on the east side to your list. We have a spare room upstairs that you're welcome to.Nice work over in the Occupy thread. Not sure how much of that was schtick, but I enjoyed it all just the same.

I still have some money at Poker Stars. I was going to pull it out when they banned Americans, but it wasn't enough to cut me a check for, and I'm a little worried about tying my bank account to PS now that it's officially illegal.What should I do? Forget about it, risk it and give them my bank account number, or open another account just to get my money?

I've never heard of a bank giving anyone a hassle. PS will cash out through a 3rd party overseas, so it's not like you'll have to deposit a check that says POKERSTARS ILLEGAL GAMBLING across the front.I just cashed out five hundred from a poker site that's actually still running. Don't expect any problems.

I finally got my money out of Poker Stars. I couldn't sign back into it, but I emailed them. They replied promptly and were willing to do a bank transfer to my bank account on file. So I approved that. I thought that the transfer would come from some bogus made up company, but no, it says clearly that it's from POKER STARS. At least it didn't follow up with the ILLEGAL GAMBLING part.

[shuke]

what about a hot dog?

Sandwich.

Eggs benedict?Tuna melt?

For the record, I define a Tuna Melt as half an english muffin, topped with tuna salad, tomato slice and cheese, then melted in the oven.

Not a sandwich unless you can pick it up and hold opposing sides of the bread. Now if you cut eggs benedict in half and sandwiched the contents between the two halves, you'd have a sandwich.

I'd heard urban legends when I was younger that anyone who read Communion would end up getting abducted. So I ran across a copy at a rummage sale years later, and there is a note in the front cover. It basically said something like "Dear Susie, I would like you to have this book. I received it as a gift and thought it was OK. You don't have to read it, but I just can't keep it any more. I have to get it out of my house!". I bought it, but am too afraid to read it.

Sandwiches come with a choice of bread. If I order something and they say 'wheat, white, rye, sourdough?' it's a sandwich. Burgers, burritos, pitas, hotdogs, lobster rolls, pies don't typically come with a choice of breads.The end.

What if the burrito joint offers a choice of corn or flour tortilla?

 

[Mr.Pack]

So my 9yr old daughter made it to the sectionals round of the NFL PPK, which was held today. We have had very little time to practice this week, so we basically had to cram in a session this morning, and that was about it. She has been completely unable to get any elevation when kicking off the tee, and always ended up squibbing it. You only get credit for distance traveled through the air, and accuracy, so I told her to just do her best on punting and passing, and hopefully those would be enough to carry her kickoff number.So we get to the sectionals and there are 7 girls in her age group. She is the 5th to go. I did some unscientific measuring of the total yardage of the girls in front of her. The first 3 didn't do anything extraordinary, and had totals of 31yds, 31 yds, and 28 yds. The 4th girl absolutely crushed her punt, and had good kickoff and passing numbers, and jumped out to 57 yards.Ella was up next. She started off with a 14 yard punt, which is less than she is capable of, and a 13 yard pass, which is also 4-5 yards shorter than I've seen her throw. So she's sitting at 27 yards, and I figure she'll be lucky to get the 4 yards necessary on her kickoff to slip into second place.She tees up the ball, takes a few steps back, and absolutely destroys a 25yd kickoff. People who had no rooting interest and had been silent were cheering. At the end of the day, she wound up solidly in second place, with the official difference being about 7 total yards. She was very happy, and has a very outside chance of attending and competing at a Falcons game (only if the 1st place winner can't go, and then only if her number stands up against the winners in the other sectionals). But I am VERY proud of my girl. She kicked the crap out of that ball.

Congrats!

My 11 year old is currently serving a one-day out of school suspension for cold-cocking a kid that I have come to find out has been bullying my son for the past year and a half. Was angry at first when I found out about this on Friday, but the more I find out about it, the more I'm glad my boy got a couple of really good shots in on this ####### punk.

He and another bully, taking their cue from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" created a game called the "IBJr. Touch". If IBJr. touched you or you touched him, no one would talk to you until you passed it on. About 1/2 of the weak minded 5th graders played along (to their credit, IBJr's friends did not abandon him and refused to participate). The teachers claim to have had no knowledge of this going on.

My son blindsided this kid when he attempted to taunt him further in art class and slammed his head into the desk, cutting his lip.

 

[Early_10]

As much of an update as I can give - and I will in no way be offended by any TL;DRs, so I'll shorten:

Spoiler

As a matter of background: I moved to FL in February 2010 to be with my then-boyfriend/now-husband. It has been a pretty miserable year-and-a-half for many reasons, with the one bright spot being our engagement and marriage. In mid-December of last year I had a bit of a meltdown, basically telling him how unhappy I was in Jacksonville, and his response was, "Where do you want to go? We will go wherever you want to go". I said SC. Done. That was our plan for the months that followed, including a 200+ person engagement party in April where I was putting out job feelers for us both.

A couple of weeks ago, we had a guy stop by our house in Jacksonville and he decided to rent it. We had had it on the market for 60 days with no real bites, so this was a nice change. This new renter happens to work in an industry in which Mr. YSR has had some interest for some time, so they got to talking and it just so happened that our renter "knew a guy" in Knoxville who could hire the Mr. immediately.

Mr. YSR has several rental houses in Knoxville and one just so happened to be vacant when all of this went down. So, because neither of us has a job at this very moment, I was open to the idea, but still wanted him to follow up on some job leads in SC. When I pressed him on his follow-up efforts, we got into a "discussion" and in the heat of the argument, it came out that he isn't all that crazy about moving to SC.

I knew, and I really appreciated, the fact that SC probably wasn't his #1 choice of places to go but that he was going for my benefit. What upset me last week was the fact that I didn't know that he didn't really want to move there - I feel like I would have dealt with that a lot better months ago and wouldn't have put the time and energy into job searches for us. Not to mention the emotional energy that I've put in with my excitement about moving back to where I feel most grounded.

Fast forward a little to the end of this past week. Turns out that Mr. YSR's little sister has gotten back into drugs - this time she's using needles - so she's out of a job and has a condo mortgage to deal with. Her parents have been paying the mortgage for a few months but they really can't any longer. So, we are moving into her condo in Knoxville, taking on her mortgage, and going from there. She and her 15-month-old (dad is in prison) have moved back in with my in-laws (the hoarders) and some kind of detox program is being looked into.

I will say here and now that the biggest issue that we have in our marriage is his parents, specifically his mother. My tolerance of her and her passive aggressiveness has recently plummeted, but he is completely deaf to any reason regarding her. At some point we will likely need to involve a 3rd party in conversations regarding her.

So, Mr. YSR has had a couple of interviews in SC, and we had a really productive talk on Thursday about how Knoxville could ultimately be the demise of our relationship. We are likely going to be there for a couple of months and all I can think is that I can do anything for two months. So, we'll be there for now, since we have a place to stay, but I'm still looking for work in SC and will continue to do so for him.

Right now, I'm at my parents' house in SC. Drove the trailer up today. Mr. YSR will be here in about 2 hours, and then we will continue on to Knoxville tomorrow.

Yikes. Good luck with Romo and the in-laws. Hypothetically speaking, if (God forbid) things end up not working out for the YSR's, and YSR marries me, would the Gadzooks/YSR wedding reception be the greatest GMTAN Cornhole EVER???

Good luck YSR. I've lived almost my entire life in Newfoundland so I don't really get how people relocate so often anyway. I like the security and familiarity of home...though I'm glad I'm moving end of the month.

Scary moment for the wife and I today. We spent Friday night in Madison at some friends house because we were heading to the Badger game exhibition today. She got up around 8am to go to the bathroom. I was still half asleep at this point but then heard a loud moan/sigh type noise (can't really explain it) and then a loud BOOM like someone dropped a bowling ball off a balcony onto a picnic table. Turns out she got off the toilet and started seeing white spots. She thought to herself "I better go back to the room and lay down" but it was too late. She fainted as she was reaching for the door and went head first into the corner of the bathroom between the door and the cabinet.

I jumped out of bed and didn't get the sheet completely off my left foot, lost my own balance and went head first into the bedroom door.

I didn't lose consciousness, but it hurt like a Mo Fo

I ran out to see what happened. Couldn't find her but then saw the bathroom door was still closed. I couldn't open it so I started knocking. I heard her sort of shuffling around and I'm freaking out. "Are you ok? Can you open the door? What's going on? Talk to me hon!"

She was babbling a bit and we finally got the door open after what seemed like an hour but was really like 5 seconds. She's laying on the ground and said she fainted. I"m no EMT so if I did the wrong thing here, I'll take the heat. But I felt her head, took her pulse and then went to get a cold washcloth and a glass of water. The bathroom floor was cool so she said she just wanted to lay there. I sat with her for a few minutes until she felt ok to sit up. Once she sat up, I went to get her a banana. In a totally non sexual way she hammered that thing down like Kobayashi. That seemed to help and I got her upon her feet after a few more minutes. I walked her back to the bedroom to lay down. Meanwhile the residents of the house were just kinda walking by saying "So, how's it going?" expecting that she was drunk from the night before or something. Kinda upset about that, but I digress.....

We laid in bed for a bit more as I got her more water and tried to make sure she was ok. Then out of nowhere, she says "Is it 9 yet? We gotta get moving! Game is at 11 and there's a bloody and a beer with my name on it!" She was up and at it :snap:

I love my wife!

PS She's ok. She's going to the doctor next week to make sure nothing is wrong. Her face is ok, in fact apparently her knee took the brunt of her body weight and that is what hurts right now. She didn't actually drink before the game aside from 1 beer after some more water and some food. She's sleeping now but seemed fine/in good spirits throughout the day.

A good friend of mine went through a spurt of fainting unexpectedly and they connected it to high blood pressure. Be careful with it.

I need to give you my number.

Given the time zones, it would be perfect. Hit you up right after supper. Ever been cursed at in an Irish accent?

Early on in our separation, ex popped by to pick up some things he was missing and went to take my razor thinking it was his. It prompted a conversation where he offered me grooming, should I require assistance. PASS

Maybe she wanted to talk about finances. You could've gotten her when she was in a weakened state. Boy you fumbled that one!(BTW, what did the vm message say?)

she ended up going to the party that I thought I was going to. she actually called me in the evening and asked me if I minded if she went, and said that she thought it might be weird if we both went so I passed. I ended up drinking cocktails at a friend's house and then hitting a bar to meet up with people. she called me a little after midnight and said she was buzzed, had fun, thanked me for not making it weird, and asked if I wanted to come over.I talked to her this morning, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't remember it.

The most disappointing part of splitting up has been the number of people that I thought were "our" friends that are really his friends. I blocked them all from my fb page without defriending. We wouldn't get invited to the same party. Oh and I'm planning a house warming...err drinking party when I move in 2 weeks and realized I have no male friends to invite. All male friends that are just friends are as previously mentioned his friends. All new male friends...well I don't think having every guy I've dated in the one room is a good idea at this point.

 

[Early_10]

Yeah, actually of the many things I hate about Memphis, crime is not really one of them. :like many highly segregated cities ( ), the crime is generally concentrated, though in some very nice areas you can be backed up right on a terrible area. Downtown where I am is generally pretty safe, but this shooting was definitely disconcerting ([icon], it was at Danny Thomas and Vance). Overall, though, in my "nice" area of Chicago I had, among other things, a stolen car set on fire in my yard, a sexual assault in the gangway between my house and my neighbor's, and everything stolen off my porch (once). Here I've had not even a car break-in, though I always worry given what I hear from friends, and we regularly leave stuff outside without anything being taken.

I don't even lock my doors. My son does but feel free to walk in when I'm home. We can hang out on the deck otherwise.

All male friends that are just friends are as previously mentioned his friends. All new male friends...well I don't think having every guy I've dated in the one room is a good idea at this point.

Sounds like a GMTAN Cornhole invite to me.

I wish I knew how to do that thing with the quotes that SLB just did. I've never gotten it right.

Multiquote instead of reply. When you've got as many multiquotes hit as you want, choose the reply at the bottom of the page.

My 11 year old is currently serving a one-day out of school suspension for cold-cocking a kid that I have come to find out has been bullying my son for the past year and a half. Was angry at first when I found out about this on Friday, but the more I find out about it, the more I'm glad my boy got a couple of really good shots in on this ####### punk.

He and another bully, taking their cue from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" created a game called the "IBJr. Touch". If IBJr. touched you or you touched him, no one would talk to you until you passed it on. About 1/2 of the weak minded 5th graders played along (to their credit, IBJr's friends did not abandon him and refused to participate). The teachers claim to have had no knowledge of this going on.

My son blindsided this kid when he attempted to taunt him further in art class and slammed his head into the desk, cutting his lip.

I'd take your kid out for some ice cream to celebrate his one day suspension.

Good for him.

I had a situation with Cal last week. Thursday he came home from school and he showed me he had a pocket full of rocks " in case anybody tried to beat him up". I pressed him about it and he quickly changed the subject. Then on Friday after school he was outside playing and he came home really pissed off, actually enraged which in my family looks like this , be cause three boys were pushing him around and throwing stuff at him. Oh yeah and they were all THREE YEARS OLDER than him. I told him to come inside but he hopped on his bike and took off towards the house they were at and said "no, I'm kicking their butts". He returned about 20 minutes later still . I got down on one knee, looked him in the eye and asked him if he was alright. He replied "I got them back.". Then he threw his arms around me and whispered in my ear "they really hurt me daddy" and started bawling. I'

I like the strip club idea better, but the sentiment remains the same. to Little IB.

Not enough booze in the world, boys.

If you and I are ever in a pick-up basketball game together, I pray for humanity that we are not both on the "skins" team.

I'm always afraid a Hawk will swoop in and mistake me for a baby rat when I remove my shirt.
