OK, the "Simpsons on the couch" pic - bricks??
:lmao:
Was this ever answered, because I didn't get it, either.

Not the Mallrats reference, but the original pic heckmann is referring to.

You guys have never seen any of the "casting couch" porn vids?
Where would one find such videos if so inclined?
Would you like to make $1000-$5000 a day?

Symphony tonight! Which means I get to get ####hammered in a suit instead of my usual jeans and tshirt.
I went last night, actually. Was a blast. No getting hammered on the fast, but I will imbibe tonight to make up for it. :thumbup: :fancyhandshake:
So glad I married a woman that thinks "sophistication" is drinking a bottle of wine that costs more than $12.
I married a woman who used to play in the symphony (Bangkok). Oddly, we hadn't gone the first 3.5 years of our marriage, and we've gone twice in the last month.
"Bangkok Symphony" sounds like a euphemism for :homer: something something

My company sponsored the performance so the parking, preparty, box seats and postparty are free. I'm only on the hook for a steak dinner. And a new dress. And a manicure and pedicure. And a sitter for six hours. What a deal!

You taking the tailgate bus?

 
Sorry for more SeattleChat, but I was just looking at listings again (for purchase) and you really get a lot more for your money in West Seattle than the other neighborhoods I'm looking at. Don't get me wrong--it's still expensive--but the difference between that and Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, etc. makes it very tempting.

 
krista, I think you'll be fine any of those places, as long as Mr. Krista doesn't have to sign a naan-compete agreement.

Good night, everybody! Try the veal!

Let me know if you would like me to do any street level drive by's in West Seattle. I have nothing going on this weekend besides trying to keep my kids alive while the wife is off cavorting with her friends.

See, this is part of what I can't get into about the South.* People get all dressed up for stuff like going to a good restaurant or to the symphony. Nobody under Tanner's age did this in Boston, NY or Chicago. I just don't get it but have seen this phenomenon in Memphis and Atlanta, too.

*Don't give me any "Texas is not the South" nonsense.
FYI, in Seattle last night I was literally in the front row and fit in just fine in jeans :thumbup:

You are so awesome. I'd take you up on it but am trying not to get too excited about any particular place because our realtor is taking a 2-1/2 week "working vacation" in Florida. You might wonder how a realtor can take a long "working vacation" given that GOING TO SEE HOUSES is a primary part of their job description, and I would wonder the same thing, but I'm being patient with this because he's otherwise awesome.

Big fan of West Seattle. :thumbup:
:thumbup:

Those actually are really beautiful (though I would not put in my house!).

Definitely got the sense that Seattle was like this, which is part of why I think we'll fit much better there. I like to get dressed up if the occasion calls for it, but there are very few occasions that should call for it IMO.

ETA: Look at me! I was in the front row! ;)

They were the cheapest seats in the house. $19 apiece. I was stunned. I learned from my wife that the front row is called the "spit row." Apparently they're not actually super desirable. I loved it. Going to shoot for that every show.

I'm sure it's the same at the Bakersfield symphony. You should go ask them.

Just processed an order online with Fedex. Their website took my money ($136) and never gave me the offer to print the label. I have now been shuffled around FEDEX customer service for twenty minutes to learn that not only can they not reprint the label, they can't refund my money. I am supposed to call my credit card issuer and contest the charge.

As I have said for years, Fedex and UPS are only able to stay in business by being marginally better than the US Postal service.
Hit Village Idiot with a PM. He owns the place.

"Chicken wire?"

 
Are there dads in here who travel a lot for work or otherwise have obscene hours? Are you still able to "be there" for your wife and kids and feel involved?
I traveled a 7 state territory in the SE for years when my daughter was between 3 and 10. Overall, it was no big deal. I would be on the road 2-3 days per week, rarely 4. Since I was in sales, I made my own schedule, so i could (for the most part) make sure that I was home for important things on the schedule. The only time that there was a major issue was when her dog got out and was hit by a car.

Don't read further unless you want to risk being dissuaded, but I want to be honest with your question.

I was in a hotel in Charlotte, and I will never be able to forget the pain I could hear when my wife called me, and my daughter was crying in the background. It was the first time that she had experienced that kind of loss, and if you could hear the sound of a broken heart, that was it. The sorrow she was feeling was like it was coming from her soul, and I could hear every bit of it. I'll never forget that, and I do carry guilt that I wasn't there for her.
As a requirement for my career, it was just something that had to be done. The flexibility was a huge asset, and aside from that one event, worked out fairly well.

I lived in Admiral Junction. Could walk to Alki and/or a small number of good bars and restaurants. But, yeah, I think you'd probably prefer to be up North in Ballard or Fremont or something.
Sounds like what I'd imagined. Definitely a few good places but we really want the selection of Ballard, Fremont, Capitol Hill, etc., not just for our own variety but because it would give Mr. krista a broader range of potential work opportunities close to home.

By the way, Drifter, if you know/hear of anyone looking to rent a house to a nice, half-quiet, half-extraordinarily tidy and meticulous, couple with cats, let me know!
I may know a nice house for rent in Queen Anne..
Would love to have the info if so. One of our top neighborhood choices.
I'll ask on Monday. The owner offered it to me a few weeks ago, but I can't really move from my suburban existence.

If you moved closer I could finally give you the blue coat you left here about five years ago. We should get together sometime and make some questionable decisions.

I am happy to make plans. They just never actually happen (except for Cos, who showed up at my house). I keep trying to get people this direction...we have a great newish microbrewery (>tre--did you try the beer yet??).
