GM's thread about nothing (39 Viewers)

Sorry Bogart. :(

 

[heckmanm]

I'm heading up to the mountains to go skiing with my old Marine Corps buddies. I was never in the Marine Corps though. What could possibly go wrong?

Be sure to yell "Hooah" a lot so you can fit in

He's hanging out with Marines not blind Al Pacino.

Shouldn't that be "blind Robert DeNiro" GB?

Bogart..hows your maaaamma? (Ribby voice). Looking for a positive update.

Mom is not doing well. We are actually pulling her off the ventilator tonight and letting her finally rest for good. She has been sick for years, in constant pain for years and the last nine months without her soulmate have been about as much as one person can handle. She is ready to go find him again. I'm at peace removing the machine, my guilt lies in putting her on it to begin with and keep her selfishly here for the last eight days. She has no fight left, and you could tell. It will be a hard few days coming up, but there will be some peace at the other end.Thanks to everyone in here for their support over the last year and change. First the divorce, then my stepdad, double hernia thrown in, and now my mom, I feel like a Debby Downer. But it has been nice to come in here and scream, yell and instead of going off and doing it in the real world.I promise much positive content and multiple shot videos in the near future.

That's horrible Bogie. Do you have plenty of friends/family around? All the wills and #### in order? You're just a few hours away, let me know if coming up would be helpful.

Thanks GB. We are in fairly good shape with everything will related. Should be smooth. Her medical directives/medical power of att really was a lifesaver. Heading to bank now to conduct some business before heading up to the hospital. Thanks to all the well wishes. Means the world.

 

[Bogart]

Damnit. You're a great dude DB. Glad you and the kids got to send her off with a white Christmas. RIP.STAY HARD MOMMY BOGART!

Only about three people in this thread get this, but it made me smile. Thanks GB.

If I could, I'd give you a giant, awkward man hug and linger just a touch too long. May your mother RIP and may you finally turn the corner for some real positive news and happiness.

[General Malaise]

Who has some good weekend plans on the horizon?

Me? Having my family over for dinner tonight. Doing a bunch of appetizers...cooked crock pot chicken drumsticks overnight and yes, I most certainly did cook crock pot chicken. While cooking, I noticed that DirecTV is offering a FREE weekend of all their movie channels. DVR is going to be working overtime. Anyhow, will be nice to get the family together and talk about my sister FINALLY hiring an attorney to handle her divorce. Only took 15 months to file. Happy for her to get the ball rolling and it sounds like her ex-husband is willing to negotiate with her so they can avoid heavy duty fees. Win/Win.

Tomorrow morning, my fraternity brother arrives via Amtrak from Seattle and after introducing him to the newest Malaise family member, we will be meeting up with a few friends to watch the Broncos/Ravens game. Plenty of hoots and hollers I'm certain. That night, my mom is sitting the baby, boys will be with their mom and we are going downtown to celebrate somebody turning 40. My boss gave me $200 gift card to an Italian restaurant that we consider to be the best Italian food in Portland. Very low key, off the beaten track joint that serves incredible food. My wife's favorite restaurant bar none and she'll get what she always get - Crab and artichoke ravioli in a lobster cream sauce. This dish makes her crazy happy. Man, I love that woman. So easy to please. Really struck gold this go round. In addition to my out-of-town guest, we'll be joined by my other fraternity brother and his lovely wife who live in Portland. Two of my favorite people in the world. Wife is just a remarkable woman, inside and out.

After dinner, the ladies will head home and the fellas will do it up. We'll meet up with some other friends of mine and get into some trouble. Or we'll just go home early and play cards. Either way, I'm pretty pumped.

Sunday, more football and then I have tickets to see the RED HOT Portland Trailblazers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder! Follow that up by my wife going back to work on Monday/Tuesday whereupon I will be working half days only. Last year, every time I rolled the dice, I crapped out. This year, I'm coming out with a fresh set of dice and hitting points the hard way (is that good? I don't play a lot of craps).

Whatcha got?

[Idiot Boxer]

Having friends over for my birthday. Since they know me, I'm assuming each will be bringing various kinds of bourbon. At 10pm, one of my friends is in a new series on Cinemax called Banshee. We will watch his premiere. We will drink more bourbon.Since today is also my daughter's birthday :NOHOMER: and I've bogarted (not Bogart) the house tonight, she's inviting 3 of her closest friends for a sleepover tomorrow :NOHOMER: so tomorrow, I will be getting over a hangover, watching football, rollerskating and potentially getting my fingernails painted. Sunday will be more football, coaching indoor soccer, and watching my son's basketball team.

Well, we're having Christmas dinner with my family. Couple of weeks late you say? Well here's why -The Saturday before Christmas I get a call from my SIL who informs me that my brother has been put in the hospital. My immediate family consists of me, my brother and mother. We're not huggy, touch-feely brothers, but there is a definite unspoken closeness between us, so just hearing the news stops my heart. (sidenote - my brother has 3 boys ages 10,14,16. Our father died when I was 9 and he was 14. I think there's always been a small uneasiness that he (and I) feels that he wants to make sure that his kids don't have to go through what we went through). Fortunately, it wasn't anything as serious as a heart attack/stroke/etc, but he has a severe infection in his foot and his blood sugar levels are up around 450-500. Also, there was a possibility of him losing his foot or worse. Overall, everything turns out OK. After 3 days of pumping him full of antibiotics and insulin, they get his blood sugar down and they find out that the infection did not get in the bone. They released him to go home late Christmas eve. Since they hadn't been able to buy/prep food for Christmas Day, we postponed it to the Sunday before New Year...So I get a call from a number I don't recognize on the Friday before New Year's, it's my mother but I can barely understand her. About all I was able to figure out was that she was in the hospital. I leave work and go there and try to find out exactly what is wrong. Never did get a direct official answer myself, but she says that it came down a lot of congestion in her lungs and what sounds like congestive heart failure. She ended up staying there until this past Friday, and is now home.so that's why we're having Christmas dinner on the 12th of January.Add to these events that my wife was able to keep a job after her employer was bought out (the good news), but it'll be with a ~20% pay cut (the not so good news), and my rocket launcher has lost it's visual tracking system (translation - my dog has gone completely blind) and I'll tell you that I sure as hell hope next holiday season goes smoother than this last one.

 

[strykerpks]

Happy Birthday GBs IB and GM I'm probably going to watch a crappy movie or two with the wife tonight while drinking the Miller Lite, MGD and Miller 64 leftover from my son's baptism last weekend. I'll probably post something stupid on FBGs while drunk and go to bed.Tomorrow, since it's been unseasonably warm around here and the snow has melted I get to pick up a month's worth of dog poop. The wife is working some soccer game tomorrow afternoon/evening so I'll get to watch football with the boy in relative peace until she gets home and starts talking.Sunday....I don't plan on doing anything. And it's going to be glorious. I'd like to mix in some bar time somewhere in there. Might have to be Sunday.

Trying to work my ### off to finish remodeling my daughters bathroom incase baby decides to come early. I don't do Romo/Bob Villa like quality but it will be better than the hackjob the previous owners did. And probably some beer and football when I can. If my wife is stuck in the hospital probably some extra beers.

Question for you guys. What is less douchey? Breaking up with someone a week or 2 before Valentines day, or right after? Assume there's no fighting in the relationship,but after 7 or 8 months you realize that you don't think they're the right one for you?

You need to make an appointment or something?

The trip is in 12 days...I can't do it before that. She has already spent $500 on a plane ticket. Plus, we're not fighting or anything...I just don't feel the same anymore. I know either way I'll like a jerk wad, I am just trying to figure out what makes me look less of a jerk wad?

Way more of a jerkwad if you take the trip, knowing full well that you're breaking it off immediately after.

Happy Birthday GBs IB and GM

Everyone's got their own bad milestone birthdays. Mine was 25 - I realized I had smoked, snorted, ate, and drank everything in sight since I was 13 or 14 up til then and had nothing. 40 wasn't bad for me and 50 was better. I guess if you keep having birthdays, it beats the alternative all things being equal.

I agree. How bad is it going to be if you go on this trip, she has a great time, and then you break up with her right after, seemingly (in her eyes) out of the blue? Sorry for the bad news.

Yep, unless you plant incriminating evidence on her on Feb 15 that gives you an official out. You're gonna look bad either way, but bail now. Not fair to either of you (her not seeing the runaway train coming, and you knowing you're going to end it - how much fun could you have?).

You're already screwed. She's going to think you're a ##### no matter what you do. I guess if it's her feelings above all else and you are able to deal with it, wait 6 or 8 months before crushing her. Ain't fair to you (or her). Other than that, take the hate now and pay her for her ticket.

Pay for the ticket and let her take one of her friends. Or buy her ticket and take one of your friends. But don't go. That's just mean.

I had a situation once where a chick flew out to see me after meeting at a friend's wedding. After about two days of being around her, the novelty wore off and I made her stay in a hotel and fend for herself. I felt bad, but not that bad.

Good lord... I had a GF my freshman year of college fly out to see me in Dallas over the summer. She lived in Louisiana. I should have broken up with her months before, but felt kind of trapped so I muddled through a few miserable days with her in Dallas. So, being 19 and absent any fully cooked emotions, I dumped her on the way to the airport. Just left her on the curbside of Piedmont Air sobbing her guts out. But we're facebook friends now and she did WAY better than me, so it's all good.But yeah, in the pantheon of **** moves, that's gotta be up there. Course my first marriage is a different story.

I had a situation once where a chick flew out to see me after meeting at a friend's wedding. After about two days of being around her, the novelty wore off and I made her stay in a hotel and fend for herself. I felt bad, but not that bad.

I read this in Roger Smith's voice.
