GM's thread about nothing (15 Viewers)

[Bogart]

Had a great WTF parent moment this weekend. Had my kids for the weekend, which is becoming really cool for everyone involved. I enjoy it of course, my kids are starting to understand it's a break in the routine that they enjoy, and my wife is starting to really take advantage of the free time. But I digress...

Saturday my 3 year old daughter has taken control of the big TV in the living room. She was watching some Yo Gabba Gabba on Nick Jr. Once the show was over she had a simple request: she wanted to watch another one. I tried to explain that the show was over and another one was not coming on. It was time for Franklin, Backyardigans or some other talking animal cartoon. She completely did not understand this and threw the biggest of 3 year old fits. 30 mins of pure screaming and yelling, begging, demanding and pleading for more Yo Gabba Gabba. I tried to sooth her with Yo Gabba Gabba on my phone or laptop, but she wanted it on the "big TV".

All she has ever known was watching TV with Netflix Streaming. She just didn't understand why she couldn't watching another of the show she just watched. Later on Sunday, I sat both her and my 7 year old down, and tried to show them how there is a "TV Guide" that tells you what is on, at a specific time, showing the clock in correlation with the guide.

The whole ordeal made me very frustrated and feeling very ####### old.

Yeah, that blows. Must have made you feel pretty old for sure.Say, you know what REALLY makes you feel old? Older than having to explain the concept of TV Guide to your children? WHEN A PARENT OF ANOTHER CHILD ON YOUR SONS' SOCCER TEAMS ASKS YOU DURING YOUR FIRST PRACTICE IF YOUR WIFE - WHO IS HELPING YOU COACH - IS YOUR DAUGHTER!!!!@1111

Really? Seems like you're winning on that one. Beats having them ask if that's your mom.

Almost a LAM my wife is hot enough to look young enough to be my daughter.

I treated the smoking hot gal who cut my hair on Friday to a picture of my hair from 1990. She said she couldn't visualize me with longer hair (it's pretty high and tight) so I showed her the picture on my phone. She couldn't believe it was me. Said "you looked like Zach Morris. What happened?"

Maybe if I looked like Tanner, I'd be all LAM here...but I was getting carded up until a few years ago. I have a baby face. There's no way I look old enough to have a teenage daughter. Right? RIGHT?

do you not have on demand cable? all of those nick jr shows are available.

or buy a Roku and have Netflix streaming to your TV

Another great end game solution. But at the time, nothing short of bringing DJ Lance Rock into my house would have calmed this child down.

Do you have any device that sends Netflix to your tv? THe tv itself? A PS3 or some dvd players? If not I will send you one for xmas if I can find where I put it.

I just went to the post office to mail out a book. I walked in, saw the pandimonium and walked right now. The loby looked like pit of the NYSE. I heard babies crying, women yelling on their phones, people moving all around and a line that looked like the opening night of Star Wars. FTN.

Now what? I hate mailing stuff. I'd rather have an ingrown toenail removed.

I received my secret santa shipment today. I also got the main portion of my outgoing gift, so I'll be dealing with the hellish post office tomorrow. Looks like the other part may be late.

What's the protocol here? Do I just rip it open now or are we all opening these on the same day? Do I need to wait for Xmas?

Just checked my email and something I ordered FOR my SS person is still being shipped. I was going to have it sent directly to my recipient but needed to add some stuff locally. I'm still hoping I can get it here and then ship it to them before Xmas. Stupidly I didn't notice it was being shipped via "Smartpost" or whatever.

The key is the flat-rate box. USPS has a deal where if the thing fits in the box, it ships anywhere for one flat rate. There are different size envelopes and boxes... small box ships anywhere for $5, big box is like $15. No weighing, no calculating, "if it fits, it ships" for one price.

Many post office now have self service package mailing and are open until midnight. These are called "Automated Postal Center®" you can search USPS.gov to find a location near you.

Take in you package, weigh it, swipe your credit card and it prints out a label.

I treated the smoking hot gal who cut my hair on Friday to a picture of my hair from 1990. She said she couldn't visualize me with longer hair (it's pretty high and tight) so I showed her the picture on my phone. She couldn't believe it was me. Said "you looked like Zach Morris. What happened?"

I still have a great sex drive but only if the female in question has flawless skin and erotic armpits.

Q: what makes an armpit erotic or not erotic? I need to update my mojo here.

I'll defer this to Captain Lou Albino.

Not good enough. The man speaks in tongues. How about some visual examples, chief?

I just went to the post office to mail out a book. I walked in, saw the pandimonium and walked right now. The loby looked like pit of the NYSE. I heard babies crying, women yelling on their phones, people moving all around and a line that looked like the opening night of Star Wars. FTN. Now what? I hate mailing stuff. I'd rather have an ingrown toenail removed.

Fed Ex / KinkosFed Ex Ground is

How much is Fed Ex ground? Aren't they incredibly expensive?I might go this route. If I have to open up that door to the post office again, I might knock over some rope stands.

No. comparable to standard UPS ground, sometimes better and usually faster.

1. Go to post office2. Pick up a hearty supply of their flat rate boxes. They're free.

3. Sign up for an account at usps.com

4. Pay for it all online, have the mailman pick the box up at your house for delivery

5. Profit

I have one final piece to the puzzle that is my SS gift.

I decided to try this place for dinner tonight. I was really hungry and got the 18" sub. 18" seems like to much though.

When we get done with this, I have a question about an old laptop...what do I do with those? Recycle? Regift?

I donated an old desktop once and got a sweet tax writeoff. But that was before computers were becoming obsolete every 9 days.

This thing is deader than Tanner's sex drive. I don't think any charity could use.

I received my secret santa shipment today. I also got the main portion of my outgoing gift, so I'll be dealing with the hellish post office tomorrow. Looks like the other part may be late. What's the protocol here? Do I just rip it open now or are we all opening these on the same day? Do I need to wait for Xmas?

I say go ahead and open it if you'd like.

OPEN IT

I'm opening mine with one of those bomb disposal robots though.

I hope my SS doesn't already have one of these.

I'll be wearing night vision goggles too. You know, just in case.
