GM's thread about nothing (35 Viewers)

'General Malaise said:
Now, I realize that lacks a real headliner...nothing that ooohs and ahhhhs, so, I will be attempting something a little difficult, incorporating Oregon's finest local ingredient - Salmon. My mother hates salmon, but my wife and sister love it, thus, I will be trying to make a Salmon/Cream Cheese Omlette for them. Considering I suck at the Omlette, this will be tough. All recipes I see call for smoked salmon. My wife does not care for that. Why can't I use blackened salmon instead?

I'd skip this bit. You've got your hands full as it is. Menu looks great without adding this wildcard.How much can these #####es possibly eat anyway?

Bogart, please. I'm not even sure my mother will agree to miss church for this, so all I've typed might very well be for naught. And you might want to ask my 7 year old what he thinks of dad this morning after I gave him the Chinese Tiger treatment for not finishing a library book he promised he would finish. :bag:

my wife makes great eggs, but sometimes she changes it up a bit by making a casserole. :shrug:

I like sausage egg and cheese all melted up and blended together with some nice breaded underside. Not sure what's wrong with it. I like eggs other ways too, but once a year or so, nothing wrong with an egg casserole. :shrug:

Soggy bread on the bottom? No way. Try some frozen hash brown patties at the bottom. That's the only way to roll with a breakfast casserole. They crisp up real nice and you have some good eatin' on your hands.
 
Last night was Scouts meeting. I spend the entire meeting playing with my daughter outside, so that their mom can be inside watching my son do whatever Scouts do.

After the meeting I start to put my daughter in the car and she starts crying, saying over and over "Daddy, please stay, Daddy, stay all day." This is about the third time she has done this and it completely breaks my heart. I try and talk her down, and eventually give in to driving her and her brother home, stopping for a snack on the way. Gets me home 2 hours later than normal, but I don't care, I get to spend extra time with my kids.

But I know their mom hates it, because it gets them home later and all sugared up. So I text her today, telling her that I know that the solution was not the best, and would appreciate any ideas she might have to handle it different. I understand that I get to leave and she is stuck with whatever mood the kids are in.

This woman can't live without her phone and texts constantly but now now 6 hours later, still has not responded. :wall: :wall: :wall:

Rant over, please continue with Egg Chat.

The current arrangement is fine. I get them every other weekend and Wednesday nights for dinner. I attend the Scout meetings on Mondays just to spend time with them.The issue is that when my kid(s) start to throw these type of fits, the two parents need to agree on how to handle it. For some reason, she has chosen to be silent on this. Even last night, she just sat in the car quiet as I consoled my daughter. I know she wants me to be the bad guy here, and I have accepted that, but we still need to be a team on anything concerning the kids.

Any chance on picking up more nights or is that completely off the table? My original agreement looks nothing like it does now, but we evolved over time to get it where it is now. I realize the plan may feel like it is set in stone, but many custody agreements can be adjusted over time by an initial of both parents to the original paperwork. Good luck, GB. I hope your ex-wife learns to forgive you and put your children first and foremost in everything she does. She's not there yet. I really hope she finds her way there soon.

I'm the Chinese mother in this case, berrating her little 7 year old son for not finishing a book he promised he would finish. This on the heels of teacher conferences where we were reminded that little Coop is great and bright and caring and all the things you want your child to be....he just has a nasty habit of giving up easily when he feels the work is too hard. And so, I figure the best way to avoid duplicating another Florrest Malaise is to strike abject fear and terror into his soft little compassionate heart. :mellow: God, I suck.

Meanwhile, his older brother just finished "War & Peace" and is considering "Atlas Shrugged" for some light reading this summer.

You can continue Mother's Day chat in a minute but having a dead MIL make me want to give Mrs. SLB a mouth full of bullets.

Oh, FWIW, my son does like sports. He's a big fan of the Yankees and loves Derek Jeter. I understand this isn't helping his case for heterosexuality, but he does like sports.

My daughter pretty much hates the Yankees. She likes to come up to me and say things like:Daddy, if the Buckeyes were playing the Yankees, I'd want the Buckeyes to winIf the Bengals were playing the Yankees, I'd want the Bengals to winIf the Yankees were playing the Yankees, I'd want the Yankees to loseRaising this kid right! :thumbup:
 
I was able to negotiate getting almost 17k worth of free laser cartridges, shipped for free, to 149 different locations for one of my largest clients. They didn't even know I was doing this. That's what I bring to the table #####es! :bragging:

Sorry, I'm really happy right now. My doc just e-mailed me not to worry (and he is one to worry) about my "slightly" elevated ALT (liver enzyme) levels since I was able to drop my cholesterol 50 points since January to land well into the normal range. :clap:

I'm grabbing a beer and going home. :bye:

I had to man the phone banks again tonight to pimp our upcoming bond issue. Only like 6 or 7 of us showed up. About 1/4 of the way through my call list I said something like "9 out of 10 times I call a number there is no answer." One of the volunteer coordinators says "That's probably because we're on our second trip on the list. We're calling the people that didn't answer last week.".

That's when I made my first trip to the fridge (our call center is in the guest house of a woman that works in the district). Since this whole thing can't be seen as school business we can pretty much do what we want. Apparently some of the parents who are helping with this decided that putting beer in the fridge would be a good idea...and they were right.

I made 56 phone calls. 41 were no answer or wrong numbers. 2 were "NO". 5 were "undecided". And 8 were "yes". I also made a good part of a 12 pack of Corona Light my #####.

 
Nights like tonight are why I love to gamble.

I closed out a round robin ticket by 3s and 5s with a walkoff grand slam by Oakland in the 10th and a third out for Detroit in the bottom of the 9th, winning run at second and the right fielder dives two rows into the seats and comes up with the final out. Thank you very much 25 units
