GM's thread about nothing (22 Viewers)

Back in the 70s, Star Trek with the sound off and Pink Floyd blasting on the stereo we de rigueur.

I was never an ST fan, but I dug the Floyd and the dope enough to hang out.

 
I wonder how Knuckles is going to react when she finds out about the paralegal situation
funny you should ask...hadn't seen her in a couple weeks. after going out to a birthday party last night, she texted just as I was headed home (cab, by the way--yay me). stopped by her house (don't judge me...by now you should expect poor decisions regarding women, especially women with no boundaries or self esteem). since I have absolutely nothing to lose, I told her the whole thing. didn't phase her a bit, although the sex had a sort of angry feel toward it, which was awesome. she wouldn't give me a ride home this morning, though.
 
Wow, so as I've mentioned before, we (wife and I) are waiting to see who purchases her employer (of 17+ years) in the next month. There's a very good chance that she and most of the other 1000+ people working in their building will be let go if any one of a few bidders got the company. There is a small chance a PE firm could buy them and then those jobs should be safe. If she did lose her job it would suck, but we'd still have my pay coming in...

as of today, there is a very good possibility that Shantytown will be sold in the next month. It also seems that the potential buyer will not be needing my services as Prince of Shantytown.

:mellow: I guess we could keep each other company in the unemployment line.

Maybe something about his secret santa sending him ViagraTIAYICXoxoxoZooks

Damn. Didn't you get your degree though?
Yes, fortunately I did, and I've been working on some IT certs. I figure that I'll take a pay cut to switch to a new field, so was planning on having my wife's salary so we wouldn't notice the cut too bad.My wife is already seriously stressed over her work. I think I'll wait til at least after Christmas to give her this news.

you got that right.I'm VP of a small lumberyard (been here for 15+ years) and just got a BBA in MIS last year. My wife works in legal for a brokerage firm, and has a BS in criminal justice.

stoners like The Prisoner?man that's a great show.
Never even heard of it and Dr. Who and his family is a ####.Know what stoners watch? Toddlers & Tiaras. At least they do now. Can. Not. Look away. It's fake, right?
Back when I was a shovel bum (that's slang for archaeologist), we would spend our evenings smoking and watching Space Ghost Coast to Coast while my roommate was flintknapping (look it up). My fondness for The Prisoner came later. Conversations over the years with other smoking "enthusiasts" reflected a sort of cult following. It was definitely way ahead of its time.
 
Glad I'm not a dog murderer. That was keeping me up all night last night. My wife's cat must have known because he avoided me all evening and wouldn't cuddle up with me to sleep.

Just as a precaution, I'd probably keep him away from these folks for the time being. :unsure:

Best stoner show ever. :thumbup:
 
We are meandering to SC today, taking the scenic route through such tourist traps as Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Am currently lunching at Fuddruckers, which for some reason makes me think of GM. Little help here?

 
I ordered one of these for my brother from Amazon. UPS says it was delivered 2 days ago, but it's nowhere to be found. Do I have any recourse? Drifter?
Limited as it's not sold by Amazon. Contact them and let them know it was meant for a Christmas present and they will definitely give you your money back and maybe have another one shipped gratis, but they have no ability to force the seller to overnight you the replacement.
Hello,

I'm sorry about the problem with your "Mr. Beer Premium Gold Edition Home Brew Kit". When something like this happens, I'd normally send out a replacement order. In this case, though, we don't have any more stock of the "Mr. Beer Premium Gold Edition Home Brew Kit".

I've requested a full refund for your order in the amount of $42.95 to the Credit Card .

There were times last night when I'd see him passed out on the couch and go wake him to make sure he was okay. I was starting to think who I could blame? It wasn't you tho, gb. I decided it was Tanner's fault. If he didn't post some many gd pics I wouldn't have spent over 30 mins trying to find the GM< football cat. If he were less prolific, I would never have been running late to the doc and I would have remembered to put away the brownies. f'n llllama
 
Almost made it through the entire day without doing any discernible work and with one hour left til the finish line some auditor wants to come review some invoices. :hot:

I went to a homebrew club Christmas party last night. I might need to set a quarantine area around my office. I've had my share of beer farts over the years but never knew my body could produce the odors that it is right now.

So, apparently the reason my boss had a "no wives" policy for the Christmas party is because he wanted to go big for his employees. Dinner at one of the better steakhouses in town in a private room, whatever we wanted to drink/eat all night. Not sure exactly how much it cost, but had to have been well north of $2500 for a dozen people. That was pretty rad.
If it was truly whatever you wanted to drink, I'd think you could have reached that just in wine.
Easily. But we also wanted to come back next year, and were all somewhat respectful of the boss's pocketbook. Also, I work in a bike shop with a bunch of 25-35 year old guys who aren't exactly wine enthusiasts. There are exactly two of us there who paid any attention to the wine list.
Where did you go?

My engagement party is tonight. :suds:

And I had surgery yesterday to remove my left ovary and a cyst the size of a grapefruit along with some other issues. The surgery went well and everything was clean. It has been a long past six weeks. I got to go home last night and there is no way I'm letting a surgery keep me from the party tonight. Vicodin helps too.

Throughout it all, my GF and I made a promise to stay positive, which we did. And to stay strong, which we did. She has been incredible throughout all this. She drove me to all my appointments, kept a folder together of pertinent information to take to each appointment, etc. Not only that, but she went on a liquid diet with me. I didn't have to ask for anything and would never dream of asking her to do all that she did.

She proposed to me on December 5. She said she wanted me to know she was in it for the long haul, no matter what happens. And she wanted to do it before I went into surgery so that in my mind, if everything went well, I would never doubt her intentions for asking me. In other words, "Is she only asking because I'm ok?"

During our ordeal, I told myself I wouldn't look up anything related to my symptoms, etc. What I didn't know couldn't hurt me and I thought it would be better not to know in order to remain as optimistic and positive as possible. What I didn't know is that she looked up my symptoms and based on what we knew at the time, there was a 90% chance it could be cancer. Thank God she never told me that. But finding that out last night from her after I got home makes me love her even more as she proposed to me knowing that there could be a 90% chance that it wouldn't be good news. :wub:

Clearly you're going to destroy marriage and should be stopped. We don't need this kind of behavior in society.

Yeah, in Bellevue they've got a room called the "boardroom" that is in a corner with full windows and seats a dozen. Gorgeous view of the lit up downtown. Couple that with the fact that I work two days between now and Jan 6 and I'm real happy with work.
 
MacArtist, sorry to hear about you getting married.Seriously - glad to hear you're okay
Thank you, Drifter. We don't have a date set yet nor a state. We will definitely elope. No one from my family would attend. In fact, my parents have not met her yet as they refused to up until yesterday. I got an email saying I could invite her to dinner at the club on Friday, but my mother made it clear she was not invited to any family holiday functions. :hot: So my plan is to tell my mother tmr. that I will spend a couple of hours with them on Christmas Eve but not to expect me on Christmas Day.

Don't forget that if we adopt a bunch of kids, it will turn they gay too.
