GM's thread about nothing (23 Viewers)

Seattle: The Seahawks are an NFL-worst 5-17-1 ATS following their bye week, including a push against the Browns in Cleveland last season. Seattle's bye comes late this year, after the 10th weekend of the season, when the Seahawks play the Jets at home, Nov. 11. The team then flies across the country to face the Dolphins in Miami, Nov. 25. Going back more than two decades, Seattle is 4-10 ATS on the road following a week of rest.

 
Does anybody here have one of those soda stream things? Do you like it?

My parents are looking for Christmas present ideas for me and that might be a decent one. I don't drink pop, but I love sparkling water, so that could be nice
Sounds like a horrible idea.
:goodposting: I was going to get one for Mrs. SLB since she has to have a fountain Diet Coke every day but read a bunch of bad reviews.

long back story

Me: Do you want me to go?

Mrs SLB: I don't tell you what to do, you always do what you want to do.

I have to admit, sometimes it would be nice.
Gllll GB.
Spent a lifetime being who I am. Can't have it both ways GB. At least I'm not that guy whose wife is always henpecking him and telling him what to do all the time.

YSR: Sorry about what the Cocks did to you.

HIYA JIMTAN. A little drunky.

THanks for looking out (I noticed no one responded to my call for help. I know I'm totally second-tier here). :) Love you all. Go irish. I'm drunk.
:rolleyes:
Bought our Christmas tree yesterday. I'm in the wrong business. It's a dead tree for goodness sake.
It's going to be even deader SINCE CHRISTMAS IS STILL A MONTH AWAY.
Actually I'm thinking since it is cut already, it's probably better to keep it watered now than to dry up on some lot.
 
Thought I had a pretty good day Friday. Took the boys to work for awhile then off on a sales call. (This is a prospect and things seems to be working out. If they really do, oh boy.) After that I took them to see Wreck It Ralph. They were both really good they whole time so when they asked me to make them cheeseburgers on the BGE, I happily obliged.

Then I talked to my cousin this morning. He went to the casino and won a little over 7 grand on video poker. Wow.

For you VP players, him and his wife (my normal partners) were playing 5 hand .10 Ultimate X. If you played it you know it sucks the money faster than an ex-wife. Hit the RF for about $1200. Then they hit 4A's for another $1200. So they bump it up to .25 and get DEALT 4A's for a little over 5 grand. Wow.

Now that's a pretty good day.

Went chasing rock fish again yesterday after getting skunked a couple of weeks ago. We originally supposed to go today, but weather reports were calling for 30 mph winds and temps in the 30s. I love being on the Bay, but not THAT much. Called the charter captain and he was more than happy to move us up a day (temps near 60 and light winds). 15 minutes after we got lines in the water, we caught the fish in My link. 40" & 25 lbs. We thought we would limit out by 8:30. Come 1 p.m., she was still the only fish in the boat. We were all beat, so we called it a day. Captain & Mate started reeling the lines in and a fish hit the very last one. My link. This one was "only" 21" and maybe 6 lbs, which most think is the perfect size.

We had them fileted. The big one made filets at least an inch thick. So I think I'm gonna cube that meat in 1" squares, roll them in some Zatarains Fish Fry breading, and deep fry them. The thinner portions, I'll cut in sandwich size pieces and fry them. We split the meat evenly and I have a one gallon freezer bag full of Chesapeake goodness.
Mmmmm, Rockfish. And boobs. Wow.

 
Paid $40 for our tree at Lowes. Looks good
You bought your tree already?
:goodposting: it's not even December yet. what the heck?
Love Christmas time. Why wouldn't I celebrate the whole season from thanksgiving to the actual day?
Why not start in October? July? Hell, let's just celebrate the day all year long?Whatever floats your boat, I guess. I just don't need a month to celebrate a holiday. I like Thanksgiving far more than Christmas. Know when I celebrate it?

ON THANKSGIVING DAY!

Really doesn't diminish the celebration either.

 
Regarding general celebration you might see it differently in a year or so when Hazel "gets" it. Nothing like hearing the happy squeals from the backseat when you pass a house decorated with tons of lights, snowmen, etc etc. My girls love that part more than the presents, which they don't care at all about.

 
Speaking of gambling, the numbers for the $2000 square board was drawn Tuesday night.The Syndicate® has NFC 4, AFC 2.
4 is good.We put our lights up yesterday. It was warm out. :shrug:Also, being on the roof is fun.
Put ours up yesterday. I only do the landscaping though. Dylan was pissed I didn't put them on top. Pretty sure I sounded like Bill Cosby when I was all like "Son, that's like 40 feet to the very top, do you remember me breaking my neck a few months ago? What's the matter with you boy?!!"
Your tree will start to look kind of crummy if you get it too early.We're not doing presents this year. Except for the kid. This makes me unbelievably happy.

Broke a glass this morning while cleaning up and a piece of the glass fell right onto my foot making a 3/4" cut with blood pouring out everywhere. I spent nearly 3 hours in the emergency room before someone finally came to stitch it up. And what did they use to seal the wound? A $20 tube of Durabond and some 3M Steri-Strips. Why didn't I know about this sooner? Seems like a no-brainer to have around the house for emergencies.

Dang, that sucks GB. Good thing I'm married to a nurse, steri-strips are plentiful at our house.

I think we're already there. We stay away from a lot of the "branded" stuff, which cuts down on the requests for crappy toys. We also watch a lot of TV via Netflix, which means no commercials.On the other hand, I just got out of the shower and asked Hannah to run into the family room to check the score of a game I have money on. "Tell me if you see a '3' on the screen." *pause* "There's a three! There's a three!" Me: :hot: :hot:

Oh, I know. I've been through that with my boys. I'm just a bitter, jaded old man who wants everybody off his lawn.
 
Oh yeah, Sarnoff, since Hollywood is repeating everything, how about a sit com where the Dad is really smart and the Mom is a dingbat. The opposite has been done to death for the last 30 years or so. Of course The Honeymooners is probably one of the originals and always made me laugh.

Regretting this day and it will be coming soon.Mrs. SLB bought this Elf on a Shelf thing. Good freaking night. It supposedly moves at night to different places around the house until Christmas keeping an eye on the kids for Santa. Cal says "if I wake up and that thing is staring at me in bed, I'm going to go nuts". :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

This seems like a good idea to figure out a safety kit to have around the house.
 
The more I think about it, the more I like Miami today. Is there a longer cross country trip for any team in the NFL than the one from Seattle to Miami? It's a 10am body clock start for Seattle and I don't think they have done well historically coming across 3 time zones. Plus, if I'm Tannehill, there's a little pride on the line as it seems the world is in love with rookie Russell Wilson and just ignores him, despite having the hottest wife on the planet. Man up, Ryan. Go play tackle football today. WIN WIN WIN.Might be a 4 unit play for me today.
:bowtie:Now come on, Bills....fight back!

The ex-wife bought one of these for the kids, and it traveled with them over to spend the night last night. So I guess the gag is that every morning you find the elf doing something crazy every morning. I moved the elf to the kitchen, had it "open up a bunch of the kids candy" and spelled "Hi" with the candy. What I really wanted to do was to have the elf found, behind a bent over Barbie. Maybe next weekend.

:lmao: :lmao:I was just telling Mrs. SLB last night that sex ed isn't too far off for Cal. This would be a good ice breaker.
 
So this elf thing...it does stuff automatically or you have to position, manipulate and fabricate the elf to give off the illusion of him doing elfish type things? :confused: :confused: Is it like a robot or a pet?

 
Smashed up the side of my truck on an inanimate object on Friday. I'm actually liking my insurance. Can take it to any body shop, the inspection place is close, and the rental car is covered. Rate won't go up, either.

 
I had three 3 GB's 3 lose their jobs 11/16. One is GB from here that has been working in a casino in Detroit for the last 3-4 years. He forgot to check the deck with another pit boss at baccarat or something. He's currently courting some Italian broad that's 28 and getting a lot of kick back from her brothers. Anyhow, if anybody know of a position, he's always willing to travel.
