GM's thread about nothing (25 Viewers)

This is pretty much my favorite song ever. And this is pretty much my favorite video for that song. http://youtu.be/4ld1R_-SDhM
My daughter is in the University Choir at Millikin.
Really? That's cool. Best I can tell these were theater kids and one of them fiddled around making videos...there are a couple others with the same group but none are as good as this one to me. Like I said, it's one of my favorite songs and the video works well with it.

 
So I won $110 playing poker in a home game. Long story but it was a very odd group of players.

The buy-in was $40 (sit-n-go) and I lost that in about an hour. I only had another $20 on me so I rebought with that.

I was able to turn that $20 into $170 by winning 3 hands in a row at Omaha hi-lo. I won with Kings over Aces, Aces over Jacks, and quad Queens. I don't even like poker.
:hifive:

Which of the two Sizzlers in Bakersfield are you going to today? Real Rd or Mt Vernon Ave?
:lmao: Real rd is closer but the chef at the Mt. Vernon locale is famous for his Malibu Chicken.

 
I'm stupid is seems - how do I look for free e books to put on my iPad via the kindle app? I can't seem to find anything in the kindle app or in the amazon app.

 
Also, for those of you that travel - my daily per diem is $61 following the government schedule. So I get 75% on travel days and the full amount on the other. Are transportation costs usually included in that or do I expense those when I get back? The cab fare to and from the airport will likely be $30 or so.

If you're going to try to get free eBooks the legit way you're going to be disappointed. The books available are either public domain like "Moby ****" or terrible romance novels written by that fat lady you see riding around the supermarket in a scooter.

I torrent most of my books but that is hit and miss.

There's someone in this thread (and lives near you) that might be able to help you with free eBooks. His name rhymes with BossMobs.

Yeah, and I deleted the file he gave me because I needed more space on my machine for pictures if my kid. :bag:

 
I hear the library has free books.

And did Tail Slayer Guster just pop in with a message that me might be getting back together with his ex-GF??? :oldunsure:

Spent most of the day yesterday hanging out on the banks of a stream with my family, some cold beers, reading material and some grub. Hazel took to it like her brothers, sitting butt first into the stream and throwing rocks for over an hour (well, the ones she didn't try to eat). Last week, we took her twice to the Blues Fest where she fit in like a veteran concert goer; this week, it's settling in to relax by a creek like a descendant of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Today, wife leaves for Minnesota for a week. To Hazel, I'm Doug Pederson while her mom is Brett Favre. Should be an interesting week. She turns 1 on Wednesday and wife is pretty bummed to miss it.

It's going to be a long long long week...

Not judging, but what event is important enough to separate a mother from her daughter's first birthday?

 
None of you can help on the daily per diem for each day question? I will be getting $152 for this. Is that supposed to cover airport parking and cab fare once I get to my destination? FOR THE LOVE OF JIMTAN SOMEONE HELP!

Now you're doing it on purpose, right?
Yes. Now, can someone answer the question please? Surely my per diem isn't expected to pay for #### like "getting from the airport to the hotel".

 
My child, smart and beautiful and perfect as she is, has deemed daytime to be sleepytime - to the point where I sometimes have to wake her up after 3-4 hours in order to feed her. During the nighttime, however, it's every 1.5-2 hours. It's getting pretty brutal.

I'm all for letting her cry a little longer in order to "sleep train" her, but when she stirs she makes these horrific grunting/wheezing noises as if she's choking. So even though I am right next to her (she's in a bassinet, we are not co-sleeping) and I know she's breathing okay, I am still completely tuned in to her every breath right now. She's three weeks old and I probably slept a total of about 3 hours last night.

We go to the pediatrician on Tuesday and I am going to ( :nerd: ) hopefully have some audio of these noises on my phone so that the doctor can tell me whether I can ignore them or not.

Otherwise, she rules.

In other news, my MIL thinks I hate her and has made a point of not coming to our house when I'm here and has let everyone know as much. It's really cool.

In my experience, a per diem is for food/drink/entertainment. Travel expenses should be separate.

$152 - food/drink leaves a lot leftover for 'entertainment'.

I have spent my weekend in Pittsburgh. Except the part I spent in West Virginia. I'd kill for these people to have done a destination wedding.
pittburgh is awesome. WV not so much
Pittsburgh is fine--really beautiful skyline--but I wouldn't make it a point to come here. But yes, it is Paris compared to Friday night in Weirton, WV, and apparently I didn't see the bad parts of Weirton or the REALLY depressing places like Mingo Junction or Steubenville.

A drunk like you might want to avoid Steubenville.

I was on the bubble in my monthly game on friday night :wall: I was short stacked and about to get blinded out, so pushed all in with A4o. Paired up my ace on the flop, but the caller (Q6s) hit the flush on the river and my hopes and dreams were crushed.

Shuke > I know you had expressed interest in playing, want me to keep you posted on when these are in case you might be able to make it?
Yes please

 
Why does it feel like the destination wedding trend is getting worse? My best buddy in college is getting married at a 4-5 start resort in the DR in the high season. To go to this wedding with my wife it will run 2,000 just for the plane tickets and another at least 400/night. Who wants to make their friends drop a cool 3-4Gs to come to their wedding that they would otherwise have moved mountains to go to in the states?
had a friend threaten our friendship because i would not fly to Poland for 10 days :(

weddings make people lose their heads
Tell him you're starting to hide money for him.

Beats me. I don't think I've ever had a per diem. No idea if it covers you getting to the airplane airport or to the rooms hotel.

Work. No getting out of it.

And it's been pretty rough on her, despite the fact that as far as girls go, she's about as non-girly-girl as they get. But yeah, this one is tough on her. My son installed a camera on her laptop today so we can video chat with her while she's gone.

And I'm hoping Tre and pals can give her the Mrs. Marcellus Wallace treatment while she's gone. Most of her crew is the non-drinking, non-having fun type. They are all geeked up over visiting a White Castle. My vegetarian wife is less than enthused. And if that's not bad enough, they are forcing her to have a roommate, so loading up her hotel room like Homer on a weekday night is probably out.

:shrug: Back when I was a traveling auditor, I just submitted expenses and got reimbursed. As long as I spent under $25 for any one meal, I didn't need to show a receipt. I never ate breakfast and rarely spent much money for lunch. But you better damn well believe that I padded that expense report to show breakfast and lunch every day and spent the real money on bar tabs chasin poon.

Have you thought about calling your boss and asking her/him? I mean, if fantasy football message board friends can't assist you, of course.....

Ooof, sorry GB. There's a bit of that going on with my mom and wife too right now and it is the pitts. Especially considering it was a large factor in my divorce. Until they clear the air and talk, I'm being encouraged not to let my daughter near my mom. Anyhow, if Romo needs an ear to bend, he can phone me as I've been through it once before and am smack dab in the middle of it again. Ugh.

Oh, and guess who's baby had her very first taste of chicken today? Vegetarian mom goes out of town, baby turns into a carnivore. MOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAAAA HAAA HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

 
Jack Ingram is on my flight. Should I tell him how much I dislike his music and his shtick?
Can you ask him who the hell he's supposed to be for me? TIA.
Texas country singer who has had some success and is featured in commercials for a big chain of grocery stores. But the thing is, he grew up in the same white Hpuston suburb I did and he never saw a pair of cowboy boots until after he got to SMU, which may as well be ground zero for uppity white kids who suddenly decide to wear starched jeans and boots with their Abercrombie hats. The guy has changed his musical style at least five times in an effort to get famous (he did that awful country version of "lips of an angel" a few years ago.).

Just wait til the football players get done with you.

No, you should drunkenly tell him that you jerk off to his chin and then vomit in his lap.

Note: this is based entirely upon the Google Image search I just did. I don't know who the fugly he is otherwise.

Yes - and face punch him for me and I don't even know him - but I hate country music and the idea of desperately trying to find which kind of fake cowboy to be is much, much worse.

Mr. krista's parents live in Weirton, so we were at their house for some sort of pre-wedding stuff for his brother's wedding in Pittsburgh. I didn't think we'd have time to cornhole anyone, but turned out we had a lot of free time other than Friday. Went to PNC Park today--nice stadium. On the way home now.

Is she a vegetarian for health or moral reasons?
