GM's thread about nothing (33 Viewers)

By the way, for those who have not been tracking my every Seattle thought in Drifter's Seattle thread (and why not???), I want to point out that Drifter actually went to an open house for us last Sunday to check out a West Seattle house. How cool is this guy? Thanks again; we owe you many beers/pizzas/naan and/or boat rides.
BRONG did something similar for us when we were looking at rental locations for our trip to Kauai. As he was perusing the premises (a huge house split into three rental units), he inadvertently ran into a couple #######. :lmao:
:lmao:

I love that guy.

 
Krista,

I'm late to the house discussion but I vote 1 as well. Did I read correctly that you would be sharing the garage in 2? Wtf?
It's a four-car garage for four units (these are townhomes); you get 300+ sq ft of garage for each unit. I didn't write that clearly.

We're making a bid on House 1 today whenever my realtor gets out of bed after having had a bad bout of food poisoning last night. They already had two offers as of yesterday and are going over all offers at 5 p.m. today.
are the decks shared as well?no brainer to go with house 1. if you know any escrow peeps up there, a fast escrow might make your offer that much more attractive if there are multiple offers. and do you have proof of liquid funds in hand to go with the offer? good luck!
I'd show up with a suitcase of cash and toss the stacks on the table. "Let's do this."

 
We(I) got rid of the tree in record time this year. It generally sits under our deck until the summer months because we miss the one chance for the garbage man to take it. Not so, this year.

However, we still have a gigantic wreath up on the wall. My wife orders it from some crazy lady at her work that insists on delivering it in person with her creepy kid. The thing is massive and somehow involves a metal skeleton and wiring to keep it all together. Last year it stayed up until summer and I finally got to take and disassemble it with a pliers. Each year my wife (hi honey) says she'll take care of it, so I'm waiting to see how that goes.
Yes, but I take care of it in March. I have plenty of time.
Atta girl. :thumbup:

 
My parents need a home computer for essentially gmail/internetting/word processing.

Anyone have a link to a nice setup that is more than what they need at a decent price?

You know too much chocolate can kill dogs right?
This is an old wives tale and not true
With most people, I'd assume this is weird shtick. With you though, I'm pretty you actually believe this. ProTip: You're wrong (actually true)
With most people, I'd assume they might know what they're talking about, with you though, I'm pretty sure you actually believe this. Pro tip: there are a lot of factors that MAY make it bad for a dog, and they have to eat WAY more than most people think to affect them (Actually true)

HTH

I used to pay the Boys Scouts $10 to haul the tree away. But now, I just take it out back, chop it up into smaller pieces and stuff it into my yard debris can that gets picked up every two weeks. :bowtie:

depends on the type of chocolate. I think a small amount of baker's chocolate can kill a small dog.

 
I hate to interrupt the non stop Geese talk in here, but did the numbers for the super bowl squares get pulled yet?
Nope, still have ~35 squares to sell and then I'll pull the numbers and post 'em.

getcha squares, getcha squares here...
What happens if you don't sell them all? My boss wants 1 square. PPing now. Put this one in for Portland Bob.
I'm not terribly concerned - I'll reach out to brick & mortar friends if we don't get close to selling out in the next day or so.
 
y'all know that shooting a person with a gun can't kill them, right?

I mean, it all depends on the size of the gun, where you shoot the person, etc.

Yeah, I mean I can throw it in the back of my truck and take it somewhere 3 miles away for $5, but I'm soooooo lazy. And it's cold out and stuff.

Just shove it into the fireplace. What could go wrong?

Ours is a fake tree, so we have to actually take it apart and pack it back up in the box and all that.

Let me know when it's packed up so I can ship your meat.

This is an old wives tale and not true
Not an old wives tale
Right, but it all depends on the dog, the kind of chocolate, how much the dog eats, how big the dog is, etc. A lot of factors have to work just right for it to kill a dog.
so it is true?
Yes....... sort of.

I guess I should have worded my first statement a little different.

:shrug:

 
Have you guys seen this #richkids of Beverly Hills show on E! Ho-lee ####.

Also, the large gay black fellow is Magic Johnson's kid. Actually actually true. :oldunsure:

I have a pizza oven i plug into the wall.

 
So I watched the third episode of Twin Peaks this weekend. Probably the weirdest 40 minutes of network TV I have ever experienced. A creepy ### dream sequence that had a midget vibrating, then speaking in such a weird voice that they actually put subtitles on the screen, followed by him doing some goofy solo slow dance to some creepy music. And, of course, more uncontrollable shrieking by Laura's mom.

Is this what this show is? Does it just stay weird and nonsensical or is there actually some character development and a real story to tell? I've heard so many great things about it that I'm loathe to bail but wow this is some messed up stuff.

Also saw the first episode of Freaks and Geeks. Netflix rocks.
Pretty much stays like that. I love it.

Pretty sure I'll never see this.
Honestly worth it for the shtick.

Spoiler alert: these "kids" are all mid-20's spongers.
I have a hard enough time trying not to hate most of the characters on "Girls".
I'm sure there's an episode of The Shields and Yarnell Show for you somewhere.

I don't watch any of these shows but just wanted to mention Shields and Yarnell.

 
So.....I took the wife and kids downtown yesterday. Parked on the street which requires feeding the meter. No problem, we unload the car, get out the stroller, I go to the box on the street where you pay for parking. I max out the time allowed (2 hours), get the printed receipt showing proof of payment and display the proof of payment on the driver's side window which was facing the street.

Gorgeous day outside with scores of people biking, running, walking up and down the banks of the Willamette River with crystal clear views of the majestic Mountain Hood. A terrific family outing, all for the price of a little street parking.

We get to the car and I notice that the receipt for parking is good until 3pm. It's 2:15. In a happy and jovial mood, I see a car parking behind me, watch the guy get out and approach the pay box before I stop him and say "Hey buddy, I've got a parking receipt here that's good until 3pm. Want it?". He eagerly accepted it, said thank you very much and I did my best Jerry Seinfeld/Babu Bhatt impersonation, silently saying "I AM a great guy".

No sooner did I get done patting myself on the back and sitting down in the driver's seat did my wife blurt out from the backseat, "Uh, Milos, do you see that parking ticket on your windshield"?

WHAT??? I PAID FOR PARKING! WHAT THE HELL! I stormed out of my car, retrieved the ticket, opened it up out of its evil yellow envelope and read the offense: "Improper display of parking receipt - $39 fine". :hot: :hot: :hot:

So essentially, I got a $39 parking ticket for not putting the parking receipt/proof of payment on the passenger side window, facing the street. There are not words in the English dictionary (maybe Abe's?) that express how furious I am over this. And yeah, point at the shirt, it's my fault. But really? I paid for parking. Hell, I OVERPAID for parking. But because I didn't put the receipt in the right window, I now have a $39 fine due in 30 days. Hell the Nazi even wrote on there "parking receipt on wrong side of car" so he/she KNEW I paid for parking. Just wanted to cite me anyhow.

Well, I'll be appearing in a courtroom for this one. All shtick welcome.
