GM's thread about nothing (8 Viewers)

Holy chicken murderer.

Hey cos, maybe you should put a sign above your chicken coop that reads, "Arbeit Macht Free Range".

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Morning Coffee Hipple -

Back when I used to work at juvy hall one of my jobs was to compile data from questionaires and interviews they gave the kids.

I remember that something like 86% of all the kids we locked up were raised in a nursery without a theme.

I'm just saying.

Our theme is "baby's room"

Ours is "storage area with a crib"

Theming up your nursery is for the parents. Save the money and theme things up when s/he hits four and starts developing a personality. Flaming Bird is six and his room isn't themed so much as personalized. He has a Yankees and Bills (I'm so unbelievable sorry for making you Billieve, my son) and Steelers pennants. He has a framed CARS poster with his name on it. He has a fish tank. He has a framed print of this -> http://museum.cornell.edu/img/large/eu_fields_june.jpg <- since he stared at the real one transfixed for nearly an hour, trying to reproduce it in his sketchbook (hilarious and sweet at the same time). And yes, he has a little reading nook with miniature armchair. He adores all this stuff and I'm sure it'll have a lasting impact on him. Will cartoon dinosaurs on the walls matter when he's six months old? I doubt it.

Oh, and I have like 4 pages to catch up on, so enjoy the 5am drunkeling!!!

1. Band name.

2. This needs to become official GMTAN vernacular.

ALSO - from his PM (real PM, not imaginary) I think Bob is the person who left the following message on my answering machine at 10:45 last night -

"Fsssst....BAAAAK.....fssst...BAAAK...BAAAAK!"

Sorry, YSR, wasn't blaming you for babysleep chat. I'm glad you checked in.

Wow, I just remembered this bizarre dream I had last night.

I was sitting in some sort of classroom or conference room for a presentation, in the left rear (facing the front) of the moderately sized room (probably could hold 150 people). Sitting immediately to my right was a North Korean delegation, including Kim Jong Un, though he's sitting a few seats over and in between me and him are some attractive NK ladies. I can't remember anything distinctive about them aside from that they were young and attractive, and wearing outfits sort of like the Singapore Airlines girls; otherwise they all looked alike.

Anyway, at various points, Kim's running around behind me to the table to my left and opening up this weird laptop device, only it's not just a laptop. When he opens it out springs what I think is this cantilever device that shoots out and has attached to it a bunch of legal pads that it spreads across the table, distributing them to his henchmen. I never actually saw this device working because it was so quick but it makes this loud clattering noise that would make me look each time.

Eventually, the Pyongyang girl sitting next to me started to rub my leg. I didn't pay much attention to Kim after that.

I'm now 4.5 days into a terrible sore throat and walking cold, and now I've completely lost my voice after coaching my son's t-ball game yesterday. And I have a presentation to give tomorrow.

It all makes me want to kick a chicken.

I'm sitting here in turns sipping my coffee and spitting phlegm into a cup. (This is what I do for all of you to gift you my wit and wisdom).

I needed to spit and I distractedly reached for my cup and spit into it, only to realize an instant too late that it was the wrong cup.

 

[Ignoramus]

my day Been working way too hard and long, so I decided to drive out to the country and buy some laying hens. Guy had 10 to sell me, so I am off to the west side of Elgin. Guy told to take the highway toward Bastrop, which I assumed was 21, but that was actually 17 miles past 95, that I had passed close to half an hour ago. I loop around and go back, only baout an hour late. We go into his coop, stepping over the foot and a half fence at the bottom of the coop door, He uses some kind of big chicken net to snare thee hens and put them in the box, which lift up and carry off to the car. Forgetting the foot and a half fence in the doorway, that of course trips me. I go sprawling forward, holding the box in front of me nad it hits the ground, shortly followed by my chin that smacks onto the edge of it. My knees and elbows are skinned and I'm literally seeing stars. A few moments later I regain my senses and load the box in the back of the car. We repeat twice (both times with me standing safely outside the coop, safe from the nefarious threshold. I get all three boxes loaded into the back of the car and to make sure they don't escape, I thorw a piece of memory foam on top of the boxes to hold the lid down. I thought I was being smart, since if I hit the brakes hard, the foam wouldn't fall off. I finally get home an hour later and back up to my coop to let the hens out and in the first box only two are alive, the other two dead. THe other two boxes each contain three dead chickens. They felt hot as hell. I guess their body heat with the memory foam on top just made them to hot and they all freaking died. Now my wife's pissed and our friend staying with us is back in her bedroom crying. Nice to have a few hours off on a Saturday afternoon...fml

Same #### happened to me last week. Sucks.

[Britney Spears]

I'm 35 years old and I'm looking at 25-30 more years of work

This is me. Very jealous of you early retirees. If only I was smart.

What would you do if retired? People with no purpose are short-lived. Can you somehow align what you want to do with what you have to do to survive and provide? That's far better than retirement. And you realize every time you breed you have signed on for another 25 years, so is it possible to find a life's work that you would not want to retire from? Or a way to make your current job more in line with that?

I don't hate my job by any means, but I'm open to ideas along the lines you described. I think that sounds wonderful.

YSR> You don't need a nursery theme. AngryWife was baby crazy and the farthest she went was having the paint & curtains match. Most of the baby stuff you get will be completely worthless and there will be a moment when you're surrounded by mountains of baby/toddler stuff and you realize that about 5% of it is necessary. For example, JR has a train table that gets very little use, yet we have four distinct and incompatible complete sets of trains, tracks and accessories (two sizes of wooden train sets, one Lego set, one Thomas the Train set) sitting on it.

DO NOT GET A TRAIN TABLE UNLESS YOU HAVE A MASSIVE HOME

My dad and I made a little frame out of plywood, felt, and molding to fit over a cheap coffee table. When not in use, it slid easily under a couch or bed.It looked astonishingly well-built for about $5 in material, table included, at least until we let my sister-in-law borrow it, and her ####### husband drove nails through it "because it came off the table if you lifted up on it".:trainwreck: :cantfindemoticonsoniPad: :thisupdatesuks:

I built this 4'x4' outdoor play table for my son a few years ago. I pre-painted it before assembling it, so it's all weather proofed, and it's on rollers. It's all finished here except for the top piece.

Sorry to hear about your chickens, Cos.

worst thing is that I feel I hardly had time to get to know them. Hug your chicks a little tighter tonight my friends.

On the bright side, you get to have a nice chicken dinner tonight.

 

[Mr.Pack]

anyone ever de-thatch a lawn?

I tried with a hand thatch rake, but I must have done it wrong because all I did was tear up part of my yard.

yeah, I've got about 6000sq ft to dethatch...gonna need something powered

See if you can rent a power rake. My dad used to do that back in the day.

JFC: The hits just keep on coming.

My aunt Karen (my mom's youngest sister) passed away today due to complications from surgery.

She was in a serious motorcycle accident a couple of years ago (she was riding on the back of her "boyfriend's" bike...he was killed) and she's been in a wheelchair ever since.

Karen was one of the funniest people you'd ever want to meet and just a damn cool lady.

This is her meeting Dr. Dre on an airplane a few years ago.

Sorry to hear this GB.

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
