GM's thread about nothing (84 Viewers)

Hmmmm, Cam Newton is not unattractive.
He has that petulant overpaid minority athlete look going.
I was basing this on the post-game interview. Not petulant in the least. Big smile, great dimples.
I was thinking I might post in here about how much I liked him, but couldn't stand his sideline demeanor. Then he gets on camera with all his charms and all is forgiven. One of those is an act. and I hope is the sideline one

 
Everybody who dies gets the, "he was such a great guy. Everybody loved him" treatment.

#### that. I'm gonna live forever

"That miserable ##### is never gonna die. "
:goodposting:

The funerals I've been to all involve these people with deep connections to everyone there and people have these stories about how the deceased made the world a better place. I always imagine at my that someone will stand up and say "That bentley, he usually didn't stick his #### in the mashed potatoes." Then everyone will get drunk enough that they don't really remember what happened and go on with their life.

Preparing to give my magnum opus, the 95 slide presentation on presenting in the morning. Every time I do this, I have people in the class send me a recent slide presentation to use for examples of dos and don'ts throughout the class. I don't think anyone has ever sent me a good slide deck. This time I had someone send me a 15 slide show that was nothing other than a reprint of a section from the Texas Labor Code with no bullet points, images, animation or anything else.
95 slides to present on presenting? Abraham style?

 
How does one relinquish custody rights at a dr's office?
As far as I can tell, my ex got in a huge fight with my daughter that escalated to the point that my ex (1) called 911 then (2) drove to her doctor to try to have her sedated. The doctor declared my daughter a danger to herself or others (specifically my ex) which triggered me accepting custody or CPS stepping in. Or something like that. I'm still not clear on details. All I know is my daughter is now living with me, eating pizza and watching tv like nothing happened.
Scary stuff. Hope it is all OK, GB.

Crazy. Glad to hear she is ok.

Maybe is just how he displays impassioned concern on the sideline.

Put me down in the don't use animations in PowerPoint camp.
Animations usually suck because people suck at putting together presentations. If used properly, they can be very powerful when illustrating a point.
I have rarely seen an animation positively used other than for a laugh. Not saying it's not possible, just in my experience and ####.
We're probably well beyond the GMTAN tolerance for PowerPoint discussion but it could work in the legal cite above. If it's important to have the entire section of code, but I'm going to emphasize three or four key words, a simple animation where the code appears, then everything other than those terms is grayed out while those are brought to the front and appear in a different color could be useful.
Makes sense. I was thinking more of the cartoony kind of animation.

I'm all camtasia now. My #### is like an episode of sportscenter.
 
Crazy end to MNF. Don't care if the call was crap or not. Just glad to see the Pats lose.
Mostly glad I won't have to read Finless' horrible Pats homer shtick.
That guy still posts here?
I don't think so.

It's okay, wilked is already complaining about the call.
I laughed when I saw it. Pats have had it so rough...
If Brady didn't short arm that thing, they would have gotten the call. Maybe it's time for Tom to go. :shrug:

Gronk couldn't have caught that pass if there were no Panthers on the field.

 
I'll have to come up with a code word in case Thorn wants me to get him out of there.
My kids will be there. I'm pretty sure a code word of "these kids suck, let's go somewhere else" will do.
Would it be bad if we just moved to another table?
1. 4:30

2. I have a meeting every thursday at 3 that can sometimes carry over until five. We'll be there when we be there.

3. No. Not at all.

4. I think Mrs. Frosty is a bit nervous.

 
1. Thorn is awesome.

2. I really want to go to a meat raffle.

3. There was a post in here earlier from Rustoleum that I meant to :lmao: at but forgot, and now it's many pages ago and I don't want to have to find it, so consider this my official :lmao:

 
Looks like my invite to whatever thing that's going down is over at Golfsino or something.
Coldhole weekend. Let me know your availability. There will be pull tabs, meat raffles, maybe das boot, drinking in 19 degree weather, linked meats, a football game and maybe even some greenies, who knows?

This week and weekend are already shot. At least I'm racking up Delta Skymiles.

I'll be supplying the greenies.

Oh and will Mrs Frosty be making an appearance on Friday night or Saturday??

TF> I got PJ Ten for $1 today at Half Price Books. It was a run.
I know you just got wifi last week, so this will blow your mind. There's this new craze called digital music, rendering physical CD's virtually useless

 
Don't know if anyone mentioned, but went to a show with Fatguy, scoob, Zilla, and scorchy. Had an effing blast, and really appreciated the invite.

Well, I had a blast for the first 75% of the night. My memory over the last couple of hours is a little foggy, as I may or may not have consumed a substance for the first time in years, and it made me a bit of a goofy mess by the end of the evening. I distinctly remember NEEDING to get a slice of pizza at some point and disappearing and eating the biggest, greasiest slice I've tasted in years (but oh, so delicious). Then coming back, apologizing for leaving, and then stumbling off again. I ran into a couple of women from my office and had a drink with them. I thought it would be funny to call them by the wrong names the whole time, and to talk about the movies out now that I've seen that didn't actually exist ("Thor 7--It's Clobbering Time," and "Hi Fidelity 2, Electric Boogaloo"). That was met with a mixed response, I think (confusion? exasperation? lust? pity?).

On the cab ride home, I remember calling the cabbie "Ramone" for some reason, over and over, but I don't really remember why. I don't think it was his name. I then stumbled into the basement apartment that I've moved into and slept like the dead. I woke up to my son prying open my eyelid and telling me it was time to play Call of Duty Ghosts (the X-Box is in the basement apartment with me). I felt like ### and almost puked, but I'm always ready to game with my son.

So overall a successful night. Thanks, Fatguy for inviting me. I really appreciate it.
:lmao: If I knew you had left to get some pizza I would have gone with you. It's a little disappointing to learn that you already knew the women you were talking to, we thought you were attempting to pick up some women. We'll have to do it again sometime in the not-too-distant future, although I suspect nobody will let me pick the band next time.

I know you aren't trying to be funny, but this is kinda hilarious. Kids are so wierd, man. Little, strange, wierd people.

It's great that you can be with her during this time. The stability for her is awesome. She WILL push you. Remember (I know you know this, but still good to hear), raising a kid right has a lot in common with raising a dog right: don't take the bad behavior personally, just try and modify it to change into good behavior. It's all about behavior modification. And love; lots and lots of love. I've been lucky because my kids' mom is really great with the consistant behavior modification (i.e., clear rules and sticking to them), and I'm really good at showing them love, attention, and time. I don't know how I'd pull it off if I was the only one who was capable of doing both things well. But you can, buddy. You'll do a great job. And she will test you, I'm sure. My ten year old daughter can be an absolute hellion at some points and the most loving thing in the world at some points. It can make your head spin.

It sounds like your biggest challenge will be your girlfriend, and the plans that you were expecting to make. Stand firm on what you think is best, and remember to check in here often for reality checks.

And good luck. It's so awesome that you get to have your daughter in your life more. That's a huge and wonderful thing, man.

TPW to SLB, Leeroy and all that I know that I am forgetting.

It has been a really crappy week here too. Last Sunday, I lost a good friend to a sudden heart attack. He was only 44 yrs old. His passing has hit me pretty hard. He was the first good friend, my age that has passed. He was a great guy. The type of person that you became friends with the first time you met him. He left a wife, 16 yr old daughter and an 8 yr old son. He was their hero. He was such a great dad.

And now this weekend we have had to deal with my wife's step mother being admitted to the hospital full of cancer. We don't know how long she has but it's not a good prognosis.

Not even sure if I have much more to say.
Very sorry for your loss Stoney. Hang in there. You are a good dude.
