My 2 daughters will have some idea of what a VHS is, but I believe that with the fact that most information can be accessed with the push of a few buttons, that they might not retain as much as we did. I will say that our work ethic is much stronger than the new generation's, though.

Oh, I make tacos at home as well and typically stay away from fast food. But while I am committed to not ballooning during this pregnancy, I have been indulging this thing's cravings about once a week and it's been wonderful.I used to love that place, then I started making my own tacos.

I was feeling pretty invincible as everyone around me succumbed to the flu the last couple weeks, but the virus finally broke through my alcohol barrier.I'm freaking miserable.On top of that, my house manager bought a bedframe off of craigslist a couple of weeks ago. Last couple of nights she has been complaining of getting bitten at night.We found out its bedbugs. Holy crap, I had read about them, mainly in the NE, being huge problem. I happened to be talking to my director friend in Philly and she told me Heat Treatment was the only thing that worked. So within three hours I had the place evacuated and their room and adjoining rooms heat treated and te rest of the house treated chemically. Huge pita getting eveything out of the rooms that might be ruined if "Cooked", covering all the sprinkler systems, shutting down all the fire alarms, relocating my parents and Lucy to the movies and out to eat while the treatments are going on. FOur thousand dollars and six hours later we get everyone settled back in. Ridiculous, but the completely seal the rooms and bring in huges heaters and maintain a temp of at least 135 degrees for several hours to completely eradicate the bugs and their eggs. Then this morning she comes over and tells me they were biting her again last night. 
. The treatment comes with a nine month warranty, so I know they will come back if needed. I am unsure if the treatment failed or it takes a few day before they are gone. The company is closed and does not answer the phone on the weekends, I guess I wait til Monday and see. At least it won't cost any more money if we need to be re-treated, just the general upheaval we'll have to go thru again while they treat. And did I mention I'm sick as a dog?

Maybe I'm just getting conditioned into thinking that anything/everything can be spun into an outrage. I just think a situation like this could easily be turned into a story about the overuse of force. The guy had been disarmed and is clearly subdued, yet he continues to get beat on. Personally, I have no problem with it. He's undeniably guilty, so as far as I'm concerned, drag him through the ####### streets until he's unrecognizable. But there are plenty of people out there that would question the actions that were taken.

I'm thinking a Scrabble tournament might be fun for coshole. And Risk. I love Risk. Evh if it does often lead to fisticuffs.There's also been lots of vollyeball talk. THat's a bit more effort to set up, so I will gauge the actual interest before bringing in the sand or reserving a court.

I think you're wrong. Maybe a couple of loons, but I imagine there would be at least 98% public approval of that and probably more.

Libertyville, Lake Bluff and Lake Forrest can be pricey.I received a list of 31 rentals to look at within a ten mile radius from an agent I contacted on Tuesday. If I was targeting an apartment exclusively, Gurnee is tops on my list based upon 3 days I spent in area earlier this week, but I have found at least one 2BR house in Waukegan that looks ideal for starters (2 br upstairs with fully finished basement, and fenced back yard for my dog) at 1K per month. Looks like a very docile block on Google street view maps. At the risk of being stalked, I've got my eye on 101 S Martin Ave, about two miles away from work.Libertyville - correct me if I'm wrong, but I've got it filed away as too pricey.Well the bar in Waukegan isn't very high, if it were me I would look at Gurnee which is west, or Lake Bluff, Lake Forrest which is south or Libertyville which is southwest. Gurnee is the closest by far though. Can you head up there to look for housing prior starting?Go on please. My employer is located in Waukegan, but I'm not committed to residing in the town. I'm single and kids live with mom, so the bar does not have to be set that high for me for the first year or so. My primary aim is to avoid a long commute to the job.It's not exactly one of the nicer Chicago suburbs.

Flying into Barcelona for 9 days in May. Any tips, must sees, or must do since it will be my first time there. You think we could swing a detour to France?9 days isn't too long and don't want to spend a lot of my time traveling. Would rather do a lot of crap in Spain rather then visit a bunch if places and spend most of my time on a bus. Can always come back.

I will probably be calling most or all attendees in the next day or two. Mainly I need eta, shirt sizes, drinks of choice, and any special dietary requirement/request. If I do not get ahold of you please just post that info in here. We have sleeping arrangements sorted out. One or two of you may be on a rollaway or cot with memory foam, but it will be comfortable. That or you can try to not be a homo and share a King bed.

I need to know what Vipul yells when he wins.As I've stated a handful of times here, I play poker every day with my coworker Vipul. We typically play for just 15-20 minutes at a time. We've developed our own victory mantras and one of mine that I like to bellow out is:ANOTHER GAME FOR MEEEELOSH!!!!!!Was watching the same episode last night and was thinking some of the same things. Really hit me when Elaine got the play button on her VCR from Vincent and then later when his Mom demands it back."I'm going with Jerk Store. Jerk Store is the line. (pause) Jerk Store!"

- I eat and drink everything, but as a fat guy, enjoy Coors Light or something similar as a session beer. - I will sleep anywhere, including floors, dirt, garden beds, with the dog that ate all the pot brownies or with the SLBs. A cot with non-bedbug foam at the foot of Cos's bed fine too.- I arrive late on Friday night (9:30ish?) and am happy to take a cab wherever you guys may be. Just designate somebody to text me where you guys are and I'll show up with my dance shoes on.XL shirt

Love doing that. That's probably my favorite thing about Michigan. My in-laws have a pretty nice sized back yard and we can play free-range bocce with cigars, beers and lots of bug spray. Hard to find a better way to spend an afternoon.**Though I have yet to play disc golf and since I ride by a disc golf course every day on my bike, it looks like a LOT of fun too.

I managed to get what I suspect is a stress fracture in my foot the other day. It was super duper painful and my wife has an old friend who is a foot doctor specialist, and she was able to get me in due to a cancellation on Friday. But I woke up Friday morning and the foot felt pretty close to normal so I told her to forget it. This morning, however, was a different story and I'm in a tremendous amount of pain again, and limping around the house like Shuke's gout. Of course, when I'm in the same wife with my room I'm gutting it out and not limping, just to avoid that, "You're such a #######" look she has perfected. But man this hurts. I hope it goes away on it's own, because I can't go see a doctor now.
