No, get her the breast pump.

And, in a pinch, you can make crock pot chicken to the chick on the Medela Freestyle box. Is that weird?

Oh wow.

That's not Pittsburgh, that's the stupid state laws

Why are Indians so good at spelling?

I got home last night, flipped on ESPN and actually watched the last 10 mins of this. The ending is very anti-climatic. Besides with everything having built in spell check, is this really even impressive anymore.Disclaimer: Horrible speller, never even won the spelling bee in my class, much less school, much less drive/fly/swim anywhere to spell in front of people.

Session with trainer at gym this morning. Thought I was going to get to impress him with how well I was doing the first program he gave me. Wrong. New program that completely kicked my ###. Baby steps as we moved over from the machines to the free weights. So when you see the guy struggling to bench press 95 lbs that third set, come over and say hi. And for the love of all that is good, help a brother out with a spot.

Tomorrow is dance recital day. I am very proud and enjoy myself for the 6? total minutes my daughter gets to dance to her 2 routines. I ####### hate the other 27 hours. And my blushing bride of course eats it up.

This is reason number 3 why I'm glad I have boys only. My co-worker has a daughter who is almost 7. He goes to recitals that are - not making this up - 10 hours long. And his daughter is on stage for maybe 30 minutes total. I don't know how in the hell you guys do this. I'd contemplate another divorce if ever faced with this. I'm not joking. No way I could do this. 10 hours? Watching other kids dance? Nope. Not a chance.

Update? Im sure you will be fine. Plenty of GMTANers with daughters that are not into dance.Mark your calendars for this year's liveblog. June 16th. And now both my daughters are participating.

Still waiting to hear about a 2nd interview I had over a week ago. My guess is they chose someone else.

You should never replace just one tire. You should at least do them in pairs- front or back.

I was wondering about this. I have a full spare and thought about telling them to put that on the other side. What will happen if I don't? Alignment problems?

yes

yeah and you really don't want mismatched tires. Just by another tire like to one you got today and put them both on the back. Put the other two best ones on the front, but make sure they stay on the same side they used to be. e.g., Left Rear can only go to Left FrontModern suspensions and radial tires are finicky

i had this same conversation with my mechanic just a few months ago. i've been going to the guy for 20 years and my dad has been going to him for 30+. trust cosjobs here.

Always trust Cosjobs. Except for with fantasy baseball.

Just got back from Snow White and the Huntsman. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Probably going to go for an avatar change as well.

I'll get started on my blog post about my theory that she and her ilk are robots.

My niece has these dance things all of the time. I've avoided them so far though. Conveniently out of town, working, whatever. My GF has gone though and says its hell on earth. In fact, she has one on June 9th and my son will be going as me and my girl go out of town for the weekend. Better him than me.

Last night was the district retirement dinner. I never go to these things, they are terrible, but I was just sent the following email:

Subject - Thank you Teri, congratualtions [sic] retirees and Linda XXXX's mom passed away

Is it just me, or should this guy have sent the latter portion in another email?

Got JR's report from the occupational therapist today. Five pages of everything that's wrong with him. Pretty much all of it is a reflection of my own stuff.

On a positive note, we're getting the tailgate bus repainted in a couple weeks. Austin area FBGs should feel free to stop by Space 29 in the electrical lot.

I more than understand GB. Everything will be alright. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sorry, I'm gonna be lounging by the pool like I have been for the past week. It's a good formula, so I'm sticking with it.

Another CF workout for me this morning. It was depressing. I was right next to this girl in yoga pants who was a freakin' machine. I sweat a lot. Oof.

Sounds like we have our choice of meat raffles either at the Cherry Pit or the Sherwood Lounge. TREbro and I were discussing a multi-pronged approach, but that may be overdoing it a bit.

Does everyone win at a meat raffle or do some go home meatless?

 

[-fish-]

Huh.

I had a mid-morning funtime with Knuckles, who just texted me that she bought a one-way ticket to Buenos Aires and is leaving at 8 pm tonight.

You guys from Minnesota and Wisconsin know that the rest of us think meat raffles are just weird, right?

Sadly, some go home meatless. Basically it's a number of rounds of raffle tickets depending on how many pieces of meat they have. It's a buck a ticket...you can buy more than one per round if there's enough tickets available.

I've been to the one at the Sherwood. There's too many people there so you don't get a chance to buy a ticket every time. Try the Cherry Pit.

I've done fine at the Sherwood, maybe you're just not well liked. Or you know, scared to talk to the raffle lady.

So what happens at a meat raffle other than buying a ticket for $1 for a chance to win some meat?

Need details here.

Well, you're at a bar, so the usual bar stuff. Only with meat. And pull tabs.
