GM's thread about nothing (53 Viewers)

Can we not do this ifighting crap in here? Take it outside. Please.
Seriously. Sorry my question caused a stink - I even put it in a spoiler tag so as not to muddle the thread with it. Thanks to all who responded. I'm going to give our pediatrician a "just in case" call tomorrow. :thumbup: Don't really know what to say about the rest of it. Maybe I'll just take few days to see if our newest star burns out or fades way....
Did I offend you?
Jesus dude, give it a break.
I gave it a break over 2 hours ago. Where were you?

 
An actual significant winter storm for Atlanta. Well, we did so well last time around... :unsure:
Bartender at place we ended up at tonight asked if we had been out shopping for the big storm coming in (we were right by a Trader Joe's). In unison we said, "We're getting a storm?" She told us all the groceries had been mayhem today. Didn't know. I went out in a light sweater tonight as it's beautiful right now. Who knew? (apparently everyone but us)
This one shouldn't be a big deal, since it's rolling in over night (allegedly). Plus, the gov and mayor know the spotlight's on.

 
My plan for the evening has commenced. Re-watching the first three episodes of True Detective, followed up by the new one that airs later.

Bought an 18-pack earlier, and actually went back into the store to get another one cause I knew 18 wasn't gonna be enough. Be prepared, I always say. :banned:

Thankfully, I won't be around much for tonight's stupidity. :thumbup:
Yeah I'm watching True Detective tonight also, haven't seen it yet but have been looking forward to it.
Hope you dig it as much as I do. Rare for me to fall so head-over-nutsack for a show so quickly. It's a slow burn kind of show but it hooked me from the jump.
McConaghey is unbelievable. When did he become so ###### good?
He was always good (although not THIS good) he just always chose horrible films.

 
Dont worry folks ill be posting a chug video soon. My gf is going to help
Why don't you just have her do the shot video instead
She doesnt drink. I cant do a shot video becwuse Idont like liquor. Im going to chug two 22oz of guiness stout.Is that good enough?
I don't trust people who don't drink bourbon.
I don't know if I'd go that far. I know plenty of women who don't like bourbon that I trust.
I can't help you if you are naturally inclined to trust women, in the first place.
SNOW SHUT IN 2014 means we've been living off of Alabama's finest smoked sausage. I love you. And your sausage. And I don't care who knows about it. :wub:
My sausage is delicious. I made jambalaya with some tonight.
Yeah, that's the first thing I made with it. Outstanding. I brought it over to a poker party where one of the players is the owner of this restaurant. He made me give him the recipe before the night was over. Told him he could try, but absent your sausage, it just wouldn't be the same.

I only have one package left. :kicksrock:

Thanks again for sending that. Totally unexpected but very appreciated.
GM - have you had to panko/bourbon encrusted brie or have you seen it served? How do they do it? Is the panko soaked in bourbon or is it drizzled on the brie? Sounds really good.

Never tried it but will ask the owner. He's a pretty cool guy who likes to talk cooking and whiskey. They do whiskey-scotch flights there sometimes with food pairings.

 
I'm not sure about this being a grownup stuff. JR went all night without pooping or peeing himself for the first time ever last night and that might have been the best thing that's happened to me in years. I swear I used to be cool.

 
You know, I've never been to the Derby and I could use an event like that on my calendar. Can we get tickets and hotel rooms and stuff?

 
I just spent an hour fixing my dishwasher. My wife now thinks I "still have it." I guess "it" is a set of star screwdrivers and a basic understanding of applied physics at the same level as a high school dropout who works in a dishwasher assembly factory.

The only thing that matters is that you fixed something she can't.

I like the idea of this lasting 8 episodes on this case, then they change actors and the case and start all over again for next season. This is a strong show, really great scripting and they picked the right two actors to play these parts. Home run through three episodes, great.

Don't fool yourself. They can. They choose to hand those tasks off.

If everything else is cool and not sleeping together isn't a result of relationship issues I don't think this is a bad thing. We don't do it or anything because we aren't weirdos, but it's fine imo..

My buddy banged a fairly hot chick in a port-a-potty at the Preakness... ####### gross, but a good story to tell.
Was worried for a sec but realized my ex wife has never been to kentucky
Dude, I'm pulling for you. But you need to work on your quality control. Just get in once or twice a day, say something funny, then get out. Sixty posts a day that indicate you don't know in which state the Preakness is located won't endear you to anyone.

I dont find horses running in circles particularly interesting.

 
Just noticed my first grey hair.
I had mine at 18.
By the way, where were you when we were celebrating the big win? I bet you were ####### around with bunson burners or some ####.

Aside: So my buddy who I bought A Short History of Nearly Everything and I were hanging out and I had no idea if he had read it at all but the TV at the bar turned to static and he said "I don't think I'll ever look at static the same way again" and I was like "nice"

 
5 years ago I started a real estate company. Not a brokerage, but a construction/rehab business. I was really good at the purchase/design/execution side. My jobs sold quickly, lots of positive feedback. But I sucked at controlling costs and failed. Didn't crush us, but lost money and wasted 2 years of my life. If you've ever failed at a business before, you know how it consumes you. Ruins your pride, drains your savings, causes massive self doubt.

For years during and after the business failed, the only way I could sleep was by laying on the couch with the TV on. It kept me from pondering the self defeating thoughts and worry. I got so used to it, that it became a bit if a coping mechanism. I've wrapped up all those loose ends, paid my bills, nothing hanging over my head any longer. I took a job at a startup that has been very successful (got to be entrepreneurial without being the one in charge). We've been recognized publically in our industry, have attracted many clients who are wealthy and successful themselves. I have a great wife, 2 great kids, lots of friends and plenty of future hope. Yet I'm still scared to death to sleep anywhere but on the damn couch.

My kids (5 and 3) see me wake up on the couch every morning. I don't like it. My wife doesn't complain but I know it's weird. We still have a healthy sex life, but I just sleep in the living room.

I'd like to go back to our bedroom. Sometimes I try to. But it's like an irrational fear, almost akin to OCD behavior. I just get scared trying to go to sleep in quiet, without TV and noise. I know we could get a TV in our room, but that didn't work either.

I don't know why I'm posting this. No one outside my wife and kids know I'm sleeping like this. I guess it's just that when you develop behaviors under stress to cope with that stress, it's hard to change.

Maybe once a week, if I have something big in the morning. She's a late riser.

I think I remember learning that bit from Carl Sagan on the original Cosmos.

Would a good pair of wireless headphones help? With the TV in the bedroom?

When my life was in the ####er, I couldn't sleep without listening to podcasts/radio at night. Maybe it's exchanging one vice for another, but if you did that it'd at least get you back in bed with the wife. There are some pretty good theology podcasts out there, and I've got mp3's of Calvin's Institutes if you'd like to listen to something constructive. And really, if theology doesn't put you to sleep, probably not much will.
