HOW ABOUT OUR MOTHER FORKING GRIZZLIES, K4!!!!111

 

[General Malaise]

So, after a three week swath of destruction that culminated in coming home after dinner Sunday to a backyard that looked like the aftermath of a Jimmy Buffett concert, I finally snapped and told the grandmother of the three kids responsible (all under 10 I think) that they aren't to come anywhere near my yard again. I also gave her the pile of trash I picked up on the short walk up the street to their house (unsurprisingly, the stuff I delivered happened to be the same brands and flavors of the matching refuse already in her yard.).Had to run them off again today, and made it abundantly clear directly to them that they were not to be on my property again.Pretty sure my house is going to be torched within the week, right?They've trampled half my landscaping, used my patio furniture as a boost to get on my patio roof, play on the bed of any pickup truck in the area, been on the neighbor's garage roof, broken a bottle in the driveway of the house on the other side of that, and that's just been in the past two days.The youngest, a girl of about 6, peeks through the front door instead of knocking, begs for treats, pulls on my screen door frame which tears the screen, and had gone into the neighbor's house and opened his bathroom door while he was in the shower.I feel bad telling kids they aren't welcome, but I've had it. The slope of the street pretty much precludes a fence (not that existing fences have deterred these kids in any way). Is it even worth it going to their mom/grandmother when I inevitably find them in my yard tomorrow, or should I just start calling the police? I'm pretty positive all the surrounding neighbors will back me up (the problem kids are 6-7 houses up the street).

Jesus, where do you live? That sounds awful.

I know HOA's get a bum rap, but they keep this sort of crap from every happening round here.

Blazers have certainly had some rotten luck with draft picks like Brandon Roy and Greg Oden, but....they don't get enough crap for the good players they did draft that they traded for a bucket of piss and used .38 Special 8-Tracks.

Zach Randolph

Jared Bayless

Jarrett Jack

All playing in the playoffs...all drafted by Portland. All traded away for fleas.

 

[Britney Spears]

Abe, were rooting for you and many smarter than me have offered greater advice than I ever could.

Just let me know if you want to send guitars to a good home in the Pacific Northwest. ; )

Why doesn't Abe just declare bankruptcy?

Why doesn't Abe just declare bankruptcy?

Or call in the big guns.

 

[Abraham]

Why doesn't Abe just declare bankruptcy?

Because I have the money to pay my bills on time. And I have gainful employment to make sure that continues. It's just a big hole to get out of.

I'd say that Gerald Wallace trade (which got them Lillard) made up for all three of those.

I tend to post this stuff late, with not much of an audience. Here's another one.

Next Monday, ao begins its transition into a wellness retreat. Call it Paleo, call it ancestral health, call it anything you want. I have aligned with Paul Jaminet to create an environment where the ill can possibly find a path to healthfulness through our direction. It will be a 30 day program where we teach our clients the path to removing toxins from their diet, replacing them with a dietary plan and lifestyle crafted to maximize their body's ability to heal itself.

The entire plan is far more complex than I ca describe here in a short time, but I am truly excited with the possibilities that exist. One of our brethren will be joining the beta program next Monday. I have had a few inquiries from others. including some wishing to join me in my efforts to recreate Ao in this new direction.

This first beta round, we will be attempting to help folks with a variety of maladies: Lupus, Essentntial Tremors, Obesity, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Alcoholism, Malnourishment, degenerative joints, dementia/Alzhemier's, Psoriasis and more. We do not believe our program (PHD30) will be a panacea for all involved, but we are anxious to find out whom we can benefit the most, with all expected to get better. I have one or two beds open for the 30 day beta at no charge. Contact me if you or someone you know could possibly benefit but not be able to afford it when we go to a pay per month model.I will always have a couple of spaces available on a free or sliding scale to assist those less fortunate, but at some point I need to make this into a self-sustaining venture and with our limited space and extreme personal interaction and planning, its not going to be cheap.

Check out Paul Jaminet's (my partner in this) book at Amazon, The Perfect Health Diet. The whole program is based on that tome.

I love you

Interesting. Do you have any concern about trying to treat too wide of an array of issues?

Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area. Not a gated community by any stretch, but behavior like what's going on now is definitely not the norm. I never dreamed I'd ever have to go to someone's door about their kids. Oddly enough, I feel embarrassed probably more than they do. Maybe I'll pop across the river and see if I can sit in on one of Guster's Zen sessions to call down. I'm a loyal Crest user, they'll let me in, won't they?

One of my personal favorites: Every year when we're doing evaluations, we get a little matrix that tells how much you can give people. I've always taken it as a guide. If you get a "Meets Expectations" and you're in Payband 3, you go to that intersection on the chart and it says, "2%-7%". That's the range you have to give that person for the year.

So, I go through and allocate my budget to my people based on what I think is the best allocation of my dollars by performace, and I've got a couple hundred dollars left. My best employee is at the very top of his range in the matrix, but I'm not letting the $200 go when it would be meaningful to him to receive it, so I pop the extra $200 over to him.

About 4 hours after I hit submit, my phone rings.

"This is Joyce McTightass from HR. Did you know you gave one of your employees a 4.1% raise when his range says he can only receive up to 4%?"

"Yes, I know. I had the money in my budget, though. I didn't exceed it."

"Oh, you can't do that. That's why we have the matrix. You have to follow it."

"You've got to be ####ting me. So, I can give that $200 to somebody I don't think deserves it. Or I can give it back to you. But I can't give it to the person who most deserves it because it's a tenth of a percent over your 'recommended' range."

"The range is not a recommendation. And it is not flexible."

WTF is wrong with you people?

So stupid. Luckily we got rid of the matrix this year.

I was walking this morning when I come across a large swatch of land that had been cleared away. :( I've noticed surveryors in the are the last three months or so but never had a chance to talk to them. Today I stop to ask two guys looking at a topo map what was going on. I was told it's part of a highway extension (which sucks even more really) and then one of them looks at my left hand. Just then I feel something weird too and notice a piece of lace fabric that I then pull out of my sleeve like a two bit magician and TA-DA!! a pair of Mrs. SLB's panties. They begin laughing and I just walk away wishing I was drunk in Hawaii still.

Booby traps.

XL Have-a-heart cages. Bait them with whatever Homer uses. Bring them back to grandma and place them on the stoop, ding song ditch style.

LA Baseball is pretty brutal. Who fires their manager first, Dodgers or Angels?

 

[General Malaise]

These kids are going into homes? Uninvited? And into back yards? What if somebody has a dog back there? I'd be furious about this. What if they walked in on you having backyard sex or grilling Tofu?

I sold my 7 year old lawn mower that got clogged up with insanely tall grass. I got tired of trying to keep that POS thing alive year after year. My asking price was $50 on craigslist offered as a project to some nerd who likes to take stuff apart. A guy showed up today to get it and mulled this decision over like he was buying beachfront property in Ibiza. Seriously, I've seen people struggle less over pet euthanization.

Did you get the full $50? Craigslist really does evoke some of the crazies into your life, but damned if it's not the best medium around for selling your crap. We sold my son's bunk bed set - a MASSIVE piece that took up a ton of space in his room - in less than a few hours after posting the ad. I was relieved to get it out of the house. Hell, the guy that bought it disassembled the whole set with his dad and moved it out. All I had to do was hold open the door.

Just wish they'd bring back the hoooors.

Haven't used CL much lately because we used to not have good luck with it. A crapload of no-shows or people haggling over $5.

I used to be somewhat of a hoarder of stuff we didn't need any more thinking I could get a few bucks out of it. #### it, no more. I put a non-functional carpet cleaner and a beat-up stroller out with the trash tonight. No kidding, gone within 3 minutes.

Abe - if your wife is willing to have any kind of conversation with you then you have a pretty good chance of getting through this. But you need to be honest and sincere about the change. There aren't any more secrets out there are there?

She just told me that I can be a part of this if I am willing to work on her trust and be open with her. Of course I am. So I'm going home shortly and will see what happens.

Best of luck, man.

I got a message today that I needed to call a parent in regards to a kid's grade. Now this kid hasn't done much all year. He'd rather talk to his "girlfiends". In the words of Paulie Walnuts this kid is "half-a-feg". We'll call him Rupert.

The school year ends in just a couple of weeks and Rupert just now realized he can't get another "F" or he doesn't get to participate in a bunch of year-end stuff. So last week he hands me this STACK of papers that he should have turned in sometime in the last freaking 3 months or so. It looked like he kept most of the papers at the bottom of his backpack and/or a hole in a tree somewhere. I gave him partial credit on some and it brought his grade up to something like a 51%.

Anyway I call his mom on my prep period:

Mom: I just wanted to touch base with you [i hate that phrase] about Rupert's grade. He said he turned in all of his late work on Thursday but I see he still has an "F". Is this correct?

Me: I believe it is but let me double-check the grade book. [click-click-click] Yes, Rupert currently has a 51%...

Mom: [cutting me off] How can that be if he turned in all of his late work?

Me: Well, he did turn in most of the papers from the last three chapters but nearly all of them were incomplete. I was actually pretty generous in the amount of credit I gave him.

Mom: What chapters did he turn in?

Me: [looking through the mess of crap the kid gave me] He gave me 4 out of the 6 papers for Chapter 14, 5 of the 6 papers for Chapter 15, and all 4 of the papers for chapter 16. But like he didn't even finish most of the papers.

Mom: What about Chapters 12 or 13?

Me: [looking through another stack of papers that I put aside and labeled 'too late'] Well he did turn in about 3/4 of the work from those chapters but unfortunately those were from last quarter.

Mom: So you're not going to give him credit for those?

Me: Ummm...I really can't Those grades closed back in March. [WTF]

Mom: Well can't you give him credit on THIS quarter for that work?

Me: Yeah...I really can't do that. That work was due 12 weeks ago.

Mom: Is that your policy?

Me: [i actually chuckle a bit] Well I would guess that it is pretty much standard for almost every teacher.

Mom: Well I don't agree with that. I'm going to speak to the 8th Grade Dean about this and probably the principal.

Me: If you feel that strongly about it I guess you should [i really wanted her to do this just so the admins can see how crazy she is].

Then she just hung up on me.

The Dean sent me an email about 25 minutes later saying "Do not adjust Rupert's grade".
