Don't be so sensitive, Joe T.Saying someone has bad taste in movies = calling someone a tard?No, but neither does hurling an insult and then acting slack-jawed when somebody hurls back.You are both neat people. I have you both firmly in my top 300 of FBG.
Got it.

Meh, in 1999 I was even more lazy than I am now. Good to know it's out there. Thanks for being my research assistant, but when I introduce you to the dorks in the elbow pads, can you get M--- to be your stand in? No offense. You're dreamy and all, but M-mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

And now movie chat meets teacher chat -
It's the last day of my notorious crazy Thursday night class. I'm showing them Mulholland Drive.
This should go over well.

No,just a regular shirt.Half shirt?What?
We decided to meet at Tahiti for drinks and we arrived first. After 15 minutes or so Mrs. SLB says "I think your friend is here." I ask why she thought that and she replies "that guy just drove up on a bike, looked at us, and started laughing hysterically." Sure enough, it was SLBD. Mrs. SLB and myself hadn't eaten since hitchhiking and were starving so we had ordered burgers upon arrival. They were really, really, good. Shared a drink with SLBD and he graciously offered to get a truck to take us sight seeing. First we needed more drinks at another place of course. Went to the next place which had a really cool view of the city. Talked in between him laughing at Mrs. SLB shaking her head at me for looking at girls and him laughing at me for downing Jack and Cokes. Then he took us around, well after picking up a six pack of Bud and meeting his friend Rrr. That's not a typo. I introduced myself as Catshirt Bob. Pissed I didn't get a pic with her, she was really hot. We then went and saw surfer dude Mittens, Tebow the dog where Pickles was a dumb stupid ******* and beautiful beaches. He was nice enough to repeatedly offer to take our picture. After that we went to the Blue Dolphin to see his friend Zach for some sushi. I'm pretty sure SLBD knows everybody BTW. We don't eat a lot of sushi but this stuff was incredible. We had some on Maui and that was Bakersfield by comparison. We went back to Tahiti after that and the place was now packed. He dropped us off and went to find a parking spot. Mrs. SLB was exhausted after all of our adventures and we had a 45 minute ride back to the hotel. So I called a cab, ordered me and SLBD a couple Jack and cokes. Of course for once, the cab arrived immediately. So I grabbed a plastic cup and poured the drinks in. Got in the cab and called SLBD to tell him we were leaving. He kept saying he was right outside but I didn't understand what he was saying until I looked out the window to see him standing there. 
We got out, Mrs SLB gave him a hug and I did the same. Except mine was a couple seconds too long (my fault). I think his awesomeness overwhelmed me or something. He looked like Ned Ryerson when Bill Murray hugs him Groundhog day. Sorry GB. He was a great host and person. So glad we hooked up. Thanks again my brother.

SLBD wasn't in Kauai when we were there, but the guy is money. Just f'n money. Ask him. He has a money suit.

This is exactly what the woman at AAA told me too. I was embarrassed to call, but that's exactly what she told me.Look, I CAN change a flat. It's not rocket science and I've done it a dozen times for several different cars. But this is what I pay AAA for. They can come out and do it faster than I can and I avoid getting dirty. Win/win.I called AAA to come and fix my flat last fall. I didn't want to, and fought it, but in the end I had no choice.
HOW DO YOU GUYS NOT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE A TIRE???
When i bought this car used, 10 years ago, I just figured the jack and everything was there. I never had a flat until last fall. Got the tire iron out, but there was no jack. Pressed for time, my wife finally talked me into calling AAA.

So now I'm sitting in my classroom...alone...for the next 30 minutes. Why? Because the PTC decided it wasn't enough to have a spaghetti dinner/fundraiser but also a quasi-open house. So all of the teachers are supposed to be in their rooms so parents and kids can stop by.
I know you're thinking there is nothing wrong with this but I teach 8th graders. By this time all of their parents are pretty much done with BS stuff like this.
I've been in my room for 10 minutes and not one person has come by. I think I'm going to crank one out just because.

Oh, she'll drink it! Especially if it's free. On hot days, she'll occasionally go with a white instead of red. But red's her poison.
Also, I enjoy Coors Light AND great tasting craft beers. Would love one right now. Nice day, 3 hours of yard work, gorgeous hour long bike ride. Instead, I'm going Neti Pot and water. F'n allergies.
Neti Pot might have changed my life.

Not looking for any sympathy considering the dirtbag I have been financially, but my parents gave me general admission pit tickets for My birthday for The Killers tomorrow night and they are now on Craigslist. Aside from my wife not being in the mood to go have a good time, I literally don't have enough money to pay for parking (much less any drinks). So yeah, things could be worse for you - you could be me. :(

Argh. About 6:30 tonight I was asked to give the going-away speech for my boss's goodbye party tomorrow afternoon. It also happens to be my last day at work. Shtick is so ####### tempting in this instance. But overall I just don't know what the hell I'm going to say and have no time to figure it out. Disaster impending.
I did manage to work "sweater-vest" into a top-ten list that a couple of us were doing for the event. Couldn't help but think of Abe.
#######it I have no idea how to handle this speech. Everyone from our Chairman on down will be there.

At zip line yesterday our guide, after seeing the cat shirt, asked if I had a lot of cats. I replied no, but I have a lot of cat shirts. He lol and said awesome.
Then we were leaving the boss, a blond, early 50's, very pretty with a thick German accent (would smash) sees my shirt and asks if I ride horses. I look at her
even though I knew exactly what she was talking about. She then notices it's a cat and says "oh, that's a cat. Could you imagine (keep in mind the German accent) trying to ride a giant cat? That would be hard." I 
at her then rofl. Then she looks again, looks my in the eye and with a sly grin says "or does it mean something else?" I smile and told the truth, that there are certain girls that seem to think so and those are the girls I like. She blushed, just a little, gave me a big smile and my receipt and was out of there. I'm telling you, that shirt is magical.

If ever there was an occasion where you don't have to worry about the consequences, it's this one.
Just say what's in your heart. Bawl your eyes out, if that's what you're feeling. Or tell them all to sit on a barrel cactus. Whatever.

I've spent all day watching the Texas Legislature "work" on TV. It's the theater of the absurd out there. Today is the last day for House bills to get passed out of the House so everyone is scrambling. They're working about 12 bills an hour and the bill we've spent thousands of hours and an undisclosed amount of money on is 100 bills away with 42 minutes before the clock strikes midnight. I'm drinking and trying not to think much about the wasted effort. Also, the Texas legislature only meets every two years, so we're dead until 2015 at this point.

Eh, considering the cancer talk and other recent woes it's a minor thing. Still a little frustrating to think about that much wasted effort. I'm going to redefine our total effort into the tens of thousands of hours since I've spent hundreds on it myself. 32 minutes to go and we've spent the last 20 minutes arguing about the extension of the top 10% rule for two more years. And we're still going.

There was a picture of SLBD cornholing with someone (beagle?) about 10 years ago. SLBD had his sleeves pushed up and he looked like Ricky Schroeder with elbow pads on. Hilarity ensued on the internet.

SLB - my sons' headmaster at the private school (it was really a co-op daycare that liked to bill itself (and me) as a private school) recommended it to me after listening to me battle a sinus infection one afternoon while working in the classroom. I was skeptical at first, really hated it the first few times I tried it, but now? I never have to take allergy medication. I spent three hours in the hard with all kinds of dust, pollen, dirt grass flying in and out of my passages, came inside, showered, hit the neti pot and I'm golden, boy. Used to be sucking down benadryl and chasing it with pills. Now? I just take the benadryl for fun.

Same here. Plus my liver has been healthier since I stopped taking allergy pills. Well, at least it was healthier.

General Malaise said:Her husband met with my boss today and told him that the venture our firm brought to his many moons ago (seems like forever) is now - finally - about to take flight. Our cut isn't going to make anybody rich (not immediately) but it secures a nice revenue stream for us in perpetuity. After 3 straight years of kicks to the #####, redemptions, poor performance, no bonuses, it's nice to notch a win for Meelosh's team. Copper, zinc, palladium, gold...all these metals have an etf. But not uranium. Well, Not. Yet.
Wait, what about URA?

Wife update: finally went to the new doctor today. Very cool guy, good bedside manner for someone in chronic pain. Seems to want to attack the problem from multiple fronts. Wife is going in tomorrow for an outpatient infusion therapy to try to break the current headache cycle. Spinal tap next week to rule some things out, followed by a sleep study, trying to focus on treating the depression and weight gain issues, etc.
Also talked about a clinic in Cleveland that's like a headache "camp", where you go, go off all meds and get correct treatment, exercise program, psychological assessment, etc. Sounds like something that would be beneficial, but want to wait to see how next month goes.
My wife seems very relieved, as she has not had luck with her past couple doctors. Also, her spirits were up this week as we got a lot of unsolicited help and support from our neighbors and family.
