GM's thread about nothing (54 Viewers)

[Marvin]

I met a couple of other neighbors Saturday night (think I texted? :unsure) and they are transplants from Nashville. (Mr & Mrs. K4, hi!) They have a couple of kids the youngest being a daughter the same age as Dylan so they will be attending school together. Anyhow, they are low 40's as well and they wife, we'll call her Mary Beth Joe Sue, is really cute. Then throw on top of it that she still has her southern accent and oh wow oh wow oh wow. They asked why we moved and I told her the deal with Cal not being allowed back at the private school and she made this ooohhh+ :( face. I thought my pants were going to burst into flames.

Mrs. SLB texted me this morning while I was walking that Mary Beth Joe Sue just happened to walk into the gym as the same time as her and they were working out together. I texted back "pics?". Mrs. SLB's reply was less than lady like. <_<

She's pretty selfish if you ask me.

Mary Beth Joe Sue could graphically describe the contents of a port-o-potty at a Hells Angels rally and sound hot.

Not a huge fan of the Southern accent. I sounds like treason to me.

You sound very southern here

Oops, typo.

So, I was sort of thinking about not mentioning this since it's embarrassing, but last night I burned the back side of my house pretty bad with some poor charcoal management. Had three fire departments respond, I was *really* lucky that the fire didn't get into the attic. I got to put a fire out with a garden hose then watch the fire guys tear my house apart looking for something smoldering.

One of my upstairs renters looked outside to a wall of fire and called 911. This is roughly the same point in time I realized my house was on fire, and ran out back to get the garden hose (which was luckily just far enough from the fire to not get burned/melted), put the fire out downstairs, then went up on the deck to put it out upstairs. He's a little melodramatic, and apparently told the dispatcher that the entire house was engulfed in flames, because the 911 dispatcher was very forceful to him that we needed to evacuate the house. I told him to piss off, and went into the attic to see if there was any fire up there. Apparently my first reaction when my house is on fire isn't to take instruction from people trying to help, it's to put some damn water on the fire so my house doesn't burn down.

So, the message the firefighters get from dispatch (after talking to the chief for a while) is "fully involved housefire, four occupants refusing to vacate."

The whole friggin' cavalry showed up. At one point in time I think I had nine emergency vehicles from three departments around my house. Which, by the way, is not on fire anymore. They had their little heat sensing camera that could tell where any hot spots were, so they beat out some holes in the ceiling/wall, tramped around the house, then we had to wait an hour for the fire investigator to show up and make a report.

The really embarrassing part is that my dad just retired after 35 years in a local fire department, I called him to see what was going on, so he puts on his "retired firefighter" coat and comes out - which I wanted him to do, but I gave him #### for the wardrobe change before he came over. He's going to give me #### for setting my house on fire for years.

Everything's fine, everybody's ok, my roof is still on, and I'm probably not going to get to that first batch of beer brewing on Thursday like I'd hoped.

edit: view from my front yard last night

Hope there isn't too much damage from the firemen. One of our rental houses caught fire in the middle of the night at the beginning of February. Small electrical fire, but it was in the upstairs kitchen. By the time the 4 fire trucks got done with it, we had to rip out the carpet in the entire bottom floor and rip down and put up new walls downstairs because of water damage. Same with the upstairs. It's taken a long while to get it done.

with some poor charcoal management.

This needs to be unpacked a bit...

I went out to fire up the charcoal grill, put some charcoal in the chimney, crumpled up half a paper bag underneath it, lit it on fire, came back 15 minutes later expecting hot coals, and there was nothing. Looked at the bottom, it all looked fine. So I set it on a shelf next to the house so it would be under cover if it rained and I could use it again.A half an hour later, my wife said "what's that sound?" That sound was the crackling of my house burning.

Wait, what? So you didn't think the coals caught, so you just said #### it and didn't try to re-light it? What do you mean "all looked fine"? I'm so confused.

I said #### it and decided to mak the steak inside. It was pretty tasty.

caroline - last 5 weeks have been a whirlwind, but kim had a sore hip in february, and it has turned out to be a "non-displaced fracture" in her left hip. sadly, it has also turned out to be the result of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in her hip, ribs, other hip, spine, pelvis, several other bones, lymph nodes, her skin, and a lung. kim received a new left hip on sunday, feb. 19, and she has undergone a couple of biopsies and 10 radiations to the left hip area and her ribs. last week, she spent days in bed while battling pneumonia. she is now using a cane and getting around ok. this has hit us hard, and the oncologist hopes that kim will live "for many months" under the current regimen of treatments. her tumors are estrogen-receptor positive, so she is taking Arimidex, a hormone therapy to block estrogen, and radiating areas as they give her pain. if the hormone therapy does not slow the tumors' growth, then chemo. if chemo does not slow them, then the dr. has said that she will face a "short interval." this has been 5 weeks of consistently bad news, but kim is bouncing back from the pneumonia and staying positive. please say a prayer for her, and i'm sorry to bear such hard news. karl

For $125 you can watch every single game (minus blackouts) in HD on your iphone, ipad, laptop, PS3, Xbox 360, Roku, Appletv, etc. It also has tons of cool stat overlays and you can watch games already played or just jump around to innings or various plays. You can program in 30 guys for your fantasy team and they'll pop up in a PIP when they're up to bat.
