GM's thread about nothing (18 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

Am I the dickmitten??

My son has been in Cub Scouts since about a month before the Ex and I separated and got divorced. My visitation for the kids is every other weekend and every Wednesday for dinner. But I have also made every Scout meeting, held on Monday nights (and one Thursday night a month), mainly watching my younger daughter while the Ex watches the Scout meeting. My son is the only Scout where both of his parents show up for every meeting.

Fast forward to the last couple of weeks, he now has three adults showing up at the meeting: Me, the Ex and the new husband. It's awkward at best. I know I was the one that pulled the trigger on the marriage, but I don't think sitting one row back with my daughter and her iPod while my Ex is right in front of us kissing on her new husband, is the best way to spend my Monday nights.

So I send an email this morning offering to swap weeks. She can take the kids one week, I will take them the next. This even means me taking my daughter even though she has nothing to do with the meeting, and giving the Ex a break to do whatever Newlyweds do when no kids are around.

I got a quick response stating how my daughter loves to go because she loves seeing me.

Am I the dickmitten because I want to open up a night of my week, at least every other week, even at the "happiness" of my daughter? Should I just suck it up and take my medicine?

Have her sit behind you?Seriously, I'd just switch weeks...or, since your daughter only likes going to the meetings to see you, maybe every other week you just hang out with your daughter for the evening while they go to the meeting.

Yeah, I don't understand why all four of you (ex, new husband, you, daughter) need to be there for the meeting. That's overkill. Christ, I'd rather go to church than a Cubs Scout meeting. Offer to take daughter out for a daddy/daughter dinner while the meeting goes on. They can sit in the meeting hall and neck while you take your baby girl out for food.And a personal question...why did you get so little time in custody? Is that what you wanted or is that what she demanded? Is this normal in Texas? Can you not keep them Wed nights after dinner? Would she be willing to give up more time now that she's married? If you don't want to discuss, no worries.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

How about you convince your son's troop leader that you are gay and get yourself banned from attendance?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

[Guster]

How about just tell the ex you will take you son to Scouts and bring your daughter along every week so that way you can spend more time with the kids and she gets a break?

Or bring a prostitute with you to the next meeting if you really want to spice things up. That could be fun

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Tell the scout master that you're Jewish.

Hey cookingguys. I have a 2lb turkey breast marinated in some kind of teriyaki stuff. What do I do with this thing? Besides the suggestion from the YouTube comment that TB posted--already did that.

Oh, and it's cold and raining, so the grill is a no-go.

[Leeroy Jenkins]

At 1:08 AM, I awoke to a burning smell and a grinding noise. Since I don't own a Sybian, I sit up and discover my CPAP is dying. It's been 16 years, it was a run. I spent the rest of the night sitting up on the couch, 'cuz it's less likely that I will die in my sleep that way.

I'm scheduled for a repeat sleep study on 12/18, but I will never make it until then. I'm the walking dead after one night without CPAP. I call the sleep lab and tell them I will be fired, or dead, if they can't get me a sleep study tonight. A few hours later, they oblige. I head over there in a couple of hours. I got through the morning with a Loca Moca and the afternoon with a diet Dew. Not a pattern I care to repeat.

16 years???? Holy crap. Won't insurance buy you a new one like every 5 or so?I think I replaced mine after 7.

But I feel you, if the power goes out, I can forget about sleeping. No chance there.

You guys can't sleep at all without one of these doohickeys?

Yeah, what's the deal with this? I know a lot of people have them. Would they all be dropping dead in their sleep without them?

I have one also. I don't have trouble sleeping all the time when I don't use it. It varies. If I fall asleep without it, my wife wakes me up and makes me put it on due to snoring and her not wanting me to die (yet). The worst is when the power goes out in the middle of this night while you are wearing it. You feel like you're suffocating.

Just crock pot it, imo. You'll want a lowish temp so you don't burn the teriyaki which is loaded with sugar.

 

[Bogart]

Yeah, I don't understand why all four of you (ex, new husband, you, daughter) need to be there for the meeting. That's overkill. Christ, I'd rather go to church than a Cubs Scout meeting. Offer to take daughter out for a daddy/daughter dinner while the meeting goes on. They can sit in the meeting hall and neck while you take your baby girl out for food.And a personal question...why did you get so little time in custody? Is that what you wanted or is that what she demanded? Is this normal in Texas? Can you not keep them Wed nights after dinner? Would she be willing to give up more time now that she's married? If you don't want to discuss, no worries.

Every other weekend and one night a week is the standard in Texas. Typically that one night a week is Thursday and on the Thursdays that are the day before my weekend I could keep them overnight. The only problem with that is that their school is about a 60-85 min drive from my house, 90 min drive to my office, depending on traffic. To get them to school in the morning and then me to work would be an issue. So we settled on Wednesday to break up the week and not go to long without seeing them.I know I should want to see my kids as much as possible, and be glad I have this time because it won't always be there. But on weeks like this week (Monday Scouts, Wednesday dinner, Thursday Scouts, Friday pick up kids for the weekend), I feel like it would have been just better to stay married and neither of us have any sex.

That sort of set up is pretty consistent with the guidelines for joiny custody here in AZ. I'm assuming Bogart gets a pretty good chunk of holidays and summers. That is a crappy situation though and seems sort of a crappy move by the new husband (or your ex if he is doing it on her orders) to show up there. I like the idea of offering to take the daughter for ice cream or something during that time. Seems a good compromise.

All I know is grilling in the rain**since mid-October.

 

[General Malaise]

Cook the turkey in the oven in a roasting pan at 325. First, melt 1/4 stick of butter and add it to a 12 oz of beer, then pour it all over the turkey and let it rest in the pan. Spread mayo and cajun spices all over the bird.

Lose the foil or it will just be a steamed breast and the skin will be funky. No foil will let is roast and make the skin tasty.

Yeah, but if it starts to burn because of the teriyaki, foiling should help. I agree with starting no foil though.

Yeah, the school I teach at isn't exactly diverse.

Today is Jimi Hendrix's birthday. I was showing the kids a few pics/vids of Jimi. I put up the first pic of him playing the guitar and asked the kids "What do you notice that's different or interesting about Jimi?" (I wanted to see if they would notice that he was left-handed).

Kid: "He's African-American"

The teriyaki should be a prob at 325. I'd personally go hotter if it wasn't for the glass pan.

Going no foil for the last half hour or so. Gonna throw a lil butter on top periodically to get the skin nice and crispy.

Will probably broil a bit at the end if the skin is still soft.
