GM's thread about nothing (38 Viewers)

My son is at a Lego camp this week. Wife took him the first day and the lady working there had no arms and signed him in using her foot. She also uses her feet to build things with the Legos. :mellow:I'm all for helping out the disadvantaged and all but that's a little much for a 6 year old to handle, no?
Meh. At that age I think they handle it better than adults would.

Just tell your kid, "Son, there are a lot of freaks out there." #themoreyouknow

Yeah, using feet to build Legos seems like something most kids would find cool. Also helps mend fences in the long-standing feud between Legos and feet.

For those of you who tend to lose things (keys, wallets, phones) when you're shammered there was a running theme on this Vegas trip.1. Hot mess of a girl that didn't sleep for the first 40 hours or so lost her i-Phone. At one point she even thought it might be in our room since she was in it for about 3 minutes. Found it 6 hours later under a chair in her room.2. My friend Angela sat her husband down on the morning of the second day and said "Robert, I know you're going to be furious and I don't blame you but I lost my wallet and my phone somewhere last night." Robert walks over to the dresser and pulls out her phone and wallet "You told me to hold them for you last night. Here."3. My buddy Jerry got shirtfaced after spending several hours at the pool on the second day. Stumbled up to his room and realized he had lost his wallet. Went back down to the pool and couldn't find it. Notified security etc etc. The story spread around our group (close to 100 people). About 4 hours later this woman Maria hears about it. She says "What? I have Jerry's wallet...he told me to hold it for him and then disappeared." AND she had tried to call Jerry but he had given his phone to his daughter to hold and never asked for it back. Rookies.
!n the summer of 1977, I was a broke college student. I had devised a craps system that I was fairly certain would earn me boatloads. I hitched a ride to Vegas with a truck driver buddy who dropped me off at the Hacienda (long since leveled- where Mandalay Bay is now).I had about $300, probably equal to about 1500-2000 today. Not a huge stake, but it was all I could raise before left.Anyway, I lost ALL in about 45 minutes and I am sitting there completely broke with a plane ticket good for two days later.I surreptitiousness wandered to the slots and tossed my wallet behind the slot machines. I waited about 15 minutes and frantically went up to the pit boss and announced my wallet had been stolen. He informs security and about 20 minutes later they find my empty wallet. I start going on and on about how I had just arrived and all my money was stolen yada yada. So they comped me a room for a couple nights and I sat up there watching tv and ordering room service for a couple of days.About a month later they mailed me a bill for the room service. I neglected to ever pay it. No way you could pull off anything like that nowadays with all the cameras and stuff. It was a different vegas back then.

I perceive Axe as a product marketed to high school boys and first year college students. I imagine you are around mid thirties. Gun to my head, I'd guess 37, but would not be surprised by anything in the 33-43 range.

Old enough you might be justified in worrying that I had relations with you mother in college. The 70s were ####### wild.

:mellow:
old people, huh?
I'm guessing YSR would fit right into that group.
:lmao: First person I thought of while reading that.
 
I use bar soap. Even as shampoo. It's cheap, it gets me clean. What's not to like?

edit: I have precious little hair to worry about cleaning
You some sort of barbarian?
So what's your favorite scent of axe
Yes, I use Axe Men's Body Wash. Why? Because I was wandering Rite Aid looking for a plastic container to take my bar soap to the gym, and I saw the Axe Men's Body Wash section. I thought, Oh why not.

I tried it.

The wife said, meh, yea, it's nice. Then we made fun of the stupid commercials where women go insane after smelling it.

Then a week later, my five year old son thought it'd be funny to wash with the Axe.

After his shower, my wife hugged him goodnight, then looked up and said, "Did he use your soap?"

"Yea, he thought it was funny,"

She laughed weakly, then said, "Yea. But that's kind of messed up. He shouldn't smell like that. You should smell like that. Um, dn't let him use it again."

"But I should keep getting that Axe stuff?"

"Yes."

The moral of this story is that if you are committed to having sex with one person for the rest of your life, and something turns her on, you do it as long as it doesn't involve you wearing a dress.

I also wear Polo 4 body spray.

I am a Good Smelling Man. :yes:
:thumbup: My wife digs old spice, therefore I wear old spice.

Wait, should I be worried she's having an affair with Tanner?

 
I use whatever body wash my couponmaster™ girlfriend manages to get for free. I have like 12 of them in a closet.
:lmao:Yeah, me too. Currently using some Old Spcie stuff called Swagger. :mellow:
Currently using some green axe product, actually. :unsure:
You guys are freaks using that stuff at your age.I Use Dr. Bronner's. Usually peppermint, but sometimes I shake it up with Eucalyptus or Hemp.
:goodposting: I even had Dr. Bronner alias for awhile. IIRC, Truck got it kilt.
 
GM> just saw that dryer vent pic. You better pull the dryer out and vacuum out the duct.
I did this last night. Holy lord...there was enough material in the aluminum tubes to knit a sweater for Charvik (he's like 6'11" and built like a TE). I can't believe how neglected this house was in the 4.5 years I was away. The garage took me all Sunday to organize and clean. We just started working on the boys' rooms yesterday and my god...I don't think they've been deep cleaned in a long long time. All of their old toys were jam packed into old drawers and boxes, with absolutely no sorting involved or any type of organization. Really quite sad to see the state of their rooms, but very relieved to begin working on them and getting rid of things they haven't played with in ages. I don't even possess the words to begin describing the state of the shower in the master bedroom. I'm going to call a contractor I know to look at it this weekend. A deep cleaning will not suffice, this thing needs complete overhaul/remodel. Oh well, one step at a time.
 
Speaking of neglected showers, our is getting pretty bad. The walls are tiled and caulked (not grouted). I don't know if this is typical of tiled showers or just ours. I have had to recaulk various sections multiple times to get rid of mold, but now I can't keep up with it and have started letting it go. What are my options here for something that looks nice but I can get done for less than $3000? Is that price range even possible?

I wouldn't mind doing it myself but with my wife suffering from migraines I just do not have the time to get everything done around the house that I want to.

 
And speaking of my wife's migraines, I don't talk about it much because I'm not looking for sympathy but holy crap is she a mess right now. Depression on top of it because she has felt so bad for so long, and our daughter is being an absolute handful right now (typical stubborn 2 year old, exasperated because her speech skills are lagging).

I feel so helpless because there's nothing I can do to help her feel better.

 
Llllama> you been out to see Billy Hamilton play for the Blaze yet?

71 games, .427 OBP, 91 SB. Unreal.
$50 says he has no idea what you're talking about.
We're talking about THE BLAZE here. Of course he does.
cosjobs just picked him up.
:lmao: Sidenote: I'm seeing a lot of headlines about Jenny McCarthy's "RACY" Playboy Magazine cover....

1) It's Playboy - aren't ALL the covers 'racy'?

7) She made her fortune and fame in life by posing naked. In Playboy. Why is this new cover newsworthy?

10) Why hasn't she been run out of town on rails for her galvanizing a nation of idiots linking vaccinations with Autism, which, by the way, she's now cured with the aid of Alternative Medicine. :rolleyes:

Are they this stupid in Canada?

Also, this IE9 is horrible. I still can't figure out why when I post a link in the body of my text, it moves it to the very top of the page. Why?

 
And speaking of my wife's migraines, I don't talk about it much because I'm not looking for sympathy but holy crap is she a mess right now.

Dealing with the migraine-inflicted must be almost as bad as actually having them.I give my mom a cup of hot coffee when she starts to feel one coming and a lot of times it works.

Sorry, GB. We talked a bit about this in the past, but my ex-wife suffers from migraines and I know how debilitating they can be. There were a million and a half problems in our marriage that led to its termination, but the stress casued by the migraines played a part. I probably spent over $5,000 in ER bills over the course of our relationship to get her pain relief from Demerol (sp?). I would get so frustrated because when I finally had a good income and could afford to send her to the top specialists, she wouldn't get aggressive and seek out help. I wanted her to see an alergy specialist for years and she refused. It caused a LOT of friction.I would have done anything to make her better and not have to suffer. I would have taken her anywhere in the world she needed to go to get better. I still feel horrible for her and pray to the gods of beer that our sons never come down with one. Wish you all the best, my friend. I know how difficult these can be and I hope she finds an answer in time that helps her cope.
 
Got to leave work early to interview for another job. :thumbup:

ETA: Didn't use Axe this morning. Should I be worried? :unsure:

Got home last night and found my fiancee's reading 50 Shades of Grey. I contemplated making fun of her, but she's already 100 pages in. Yee-haw.

 
For those of you who tend to lose things (keys, wallets, phones) when you're shammered there was a running theme on this Vegas trip.1. Hot mess of a girl that didn't sleep for the first 40 hours or so lost her i-Phone. At one point she even thought it might be in our room since she was in it for about 3 minutes. Found it 6 hours later under a chair in her room.2. My friend Angela sat her husband down on the morning of the second day and said "Robert, I know you're going to be furious and I don't blame you but I lost my wallet and my phone somewhere last night." Robert walks over to the dresser and pulls out her phone and wallet "You told me to hold them for you last night. Here."3. My buddy Jerry got shirtfaced after spending several hours at the pool on the second day. Stumbled up to his room and realized he had lost his wallet. Went back down to the pool and couldn't find it. Notified security etc etc. The story spread around our group (close to 100 people). About 4 hours later this woman Maria hears about it. She says "What? I have Jerry's wallet...he told me to hold it for him and then disappeared." AND she had tried to call Jerry but he had given his phone to his daughter to hold and never asked for it back. Rookies.
:lmao: I've been setting calendar alarms to go off on my phone and remind me of such hings.
 
Speaking of neglected showers, our is getting pretty bad. The walls are tiled and caulked (not grouted). I don't know if this is typical of tiled showers or just ours. I have had to recaulk various sections multiple times to get rid of mold, but now I can't keep up with it and have started letting it go. What are my options here for something that looks nice but I can get done for less than $3000? Is that price range even possible?I wouldn't mind doing it myself but with my wife suffering from migraines I just do not have the time to get everything done around the house that I want to.
I have the same problem. I have white tiles on the shower wall and floor. The grout gets mildewy and I scrub with a brush and comet every few weeks. But it's a PITA. I'm considering getting slabs of mid-dark stone put in for easier maintenance and disguising of the gross stuff.
 
And speaking of my wife's migraines, I don't talk about it much because I'm not looking for sympathy but holy crap is she a mess right now. Depression on top of it because she has felt so bad for so long, and our daughter is being an absolute handful right now (typical stubborn 2 year old, exasperated because her speech skills are lagging). I feel so helpless because there's nothing I can do to help her feel better.
Sorry, GB. We talked a bit about this in the past, but my ex-wife suffers from migraines and I know how debilitating they can be. There were a million and a half problems in our marriage that led to its termination, but the stress casued by the migraines played a part. I probably spent over $5,000 in ER bills over the course of our relationship to get her pain relief from Demerol (sp?). I would get so frustrated because when I finally had a good income and could afford to send her to the top specialists, she wouldn't get aggressive and seek out help. I wanted her to see an alergy specialist for years and she refused. It caused a LOT of friction.I would have done anything to make her better and not have to suffer. I would have taken her anywhere in the world she needed to go to get better. I still feel horrible for her and pray to the gods of beer that our sons never come down with one. Wish you all the best, my friend. I know how difficult these can be and I hope she finds an answer in time that helps her cope.
Thanks man. One of the problems is that while her current neurologist has tried some things, he too easily falls back on vicodin as a "treatment". We just started going to a university pain clinic and they have tried a few different nerve blocks, but I don't think they are working as well as we hoped. She has an appointment with another neurologist who is more aggressive on getting patients off the pain killers.

I wish I had grout I could scrub. With the caulk, you have to strip it all out, clean and let dry, then recaulk and let that cure. Like a 3 day process. I agree that looking at the large piece granite is the best but pretty costly. Are there any one-piece surrounds that look halfway decent?

Super bummer. I feel for you - my wife has an array of constant medical issues that regularly incapacitate her but aren't life threatening. It is very hard to deal with, both in terms of watching her suffer and in not having my needs met either. I can't even complain that my needs aren't being met - I'm sure she'd rather take care of me than feel lousy all the time -but it sucks for both of us. And our kids are a huge pain in the ### right now - 2 boys, 5 and 2. I keep telling myself that they are getting easier to deal with, but man, progress is slow.
 
Yellow bar of Dial here. Unless I'm at the gym, then it's Old Spice 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash.

Never really think that much about it.
