I've found that I am occasionally speaking in doge now, like yesterday when I said we had "much freezings". I can't be the only one, can I? :bag: (YSR, I'm looking at you.)

That went over well.

How do you get sideways in your own driveway?
By me being an idiot? Are you new here?
Trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here. If there was ice, it's totally understandable. If it was just snow...well...better take those blackhawks.
KANER!!!

Anyone in here have wireless headphones? Mr. YSR Likes to watch movies at a high volume in the other room after I've gone to bed, and he's interested in a solution that will allow for this while also allowing his wife and child to sleep peacefully.

His birthday is coming up so I'm in the market for a pair.

Any suggestions?

You should start writing for dogeweather. Their stuff sucks by comparison

I bought these about a year ago and really like them.

Ice underneath, but "idiot" is still the best play.

I was told I could watch movies at a reasonable volume between 10 and 10:30

 
krista,

back to earthquake talk. i'm quite intrigued to know what got destroyed of yours, in the northridge quake. are we talking dishes? pictures fell off the wall? your car had a building fall on it? your house collapsed?

much shakin

scary noises

over fast

peed a little

 
Shuke>how much of a time investment is this magic baseball leeg?
Draft will go on for maybe two weeks. Will be conducted in the baseball forum here. Just need to check in every couple hours, or people will text you. During the season, as much time as you want to put into it.

$100, pay 3 spots.

5x5 roto. OBP instead of AVG.

28 roster spots + 2 DL. 1300 max IP.

Draft will be here. You must be willing to provide your cell number.

I'd really like some GMTANers to take the last couple spots.
Sorry but I only provide my cell number TO PEOPLE I'VE MET IN PERSON.
You realize I have yours, right?
oh bull ####.
You don't recall getting a text of a picture of a Blaze jersey, taken at the Reds Hall of Fame by yours truly?

 
I'm going against the grain here and saying you shouldn't call. They know where you are, and you've already reaffirmed your interest once. When I was hiring I hated the people who did the constant follow-ups. They will get to you when they have a decision on whether you made it to the next round.
I'm thinking this is good posting. When I'm hiring, I know who my candidates are. One calling me over and over isn't going to change that.
I wouldn't bug the decision maker but talking to potential hires is part of a recruiter's job. But yeah, he's either on their list or he isn't and they'll move when they're ready.

Setting lineups daily? Weekly? What's the format? I can deal with some time commitment, but nothing tedious.

 
Wife was in Eugene last night for work, meaning I was flying solo with the kid duties. Man....if pimping be hard, then single-parenting be wow much exhausting very worky. Sorry, I won't do that again.

Left work at 2:20pm to pick up Hazel from her caretaker (note the non-usage of the term nanny...nobody wants to sleep with a caretaker). Thought, erroneously, that I'd be able to go to the store for supper supplies before getting the boys at school. Had to field a call from Kellen while writing my check to the cashier that dad didn't forget them, he was just running a little late. Sorry it's raining. :bag:

Get the kids, rush home to find the boys' best friend Nathan outside dribbling a basketball, waiting for the boys to get home. He's a 6th grader and I guess this week, Beaverton middle school kids don't go to school. <_< Oregon wonders why its kids are struggling to graduate and lag behind the rest of the nation in achievement. Think it has ANYTHING to do with the fact that Oregon kids have the shortest school year in the nation? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Anyhow, Nathan was bored to tears and now my pack of 3 is a pack of 4, but WAIT...there's more. Coop's good buddy Jake came over at 4pm as I agreed to take him to basketball practice so his dad could go to the dentist. 5 energy packed kids under my roof, starving and needy, one of them pooping herself in the corner of the living room. :hot:

4:45 I've got to load Hazel, Coop and his buddy into my rig and pick up another kid on the team to carpool to basketball practice. Drop 'em off, rush back home, situate Hazel in front of the TV with a bowl of goldfish and Dora, task Kellen into his homework and start dinner. Homemade sloppy joes and fresh cut green beans. :bowtie: 6:30, Coop comes home, we chow down dinner at the table with Hazel, talk about our day.

Then, it's quick clean up, do the dishes, run the non-quiet, non-lighting dishwasher, time to throw Hazel in the bath and guess who has pooped again? This kid...she poops like it's an Olympic Sport. Clean that up, toss her in the tub, force the kids to finish their homework, clean up the family room that Hurricane Hazel tore apart and then get a text from my wife that the boys need to do their Valentines Day cards {insert Gay Seal here}. Barf.

Get Hazel to sleep after reading every godddd damn book in her room, take out the trash and then realize I have to make lunches for all three kids. Figure I'd do that so I didn't have to race around in the morning. Good god...by the time I sat down it was time for the boys (myself included) to go to bed. I tried to finish watching Zero Dark Thirty but failed to make it. That's the 4th time I tried to finish this movie since I recorded it in November. And I LIKE the movie. Just looooooooooooong.....

Spoiler tags because this is really just me venting. Not worth reading, really.

I was once again pointing out the fact that my wife does not like Monty Python as Exhibit 1A for establishing she has not sense of humor. She said that maybe she formed an opinion at a point in her life when she was too fancy pants (not her words). She offered to watch some with me. What should I choose?

While I love Holy Grail, I think it's going to be a bit too silly for her first exposure. Meaning of Life is just not funny enough. That pretty much leaves with me Life of Brian. I could also choose something like Live from the Hollywood Bowl instead.

Thoughts?

Maybe show her A Fish Called Wanda first? Get her familiar with some of the actors with a small dose of the Python wit. Then go from there.

Daily lineups. But obviously the lineup from the previous day rolls over if you don't want to change anything.

 
My gf falls asleep during Holy Grail, Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs. It's infuriating. Basically anything made before 1990 she can't get into.

I was in an apartment building at the time (which, as it turns out, was not very well-prepared for the quake), so I didn't lose a house or anything, though there was a huge crack all the way up from the foundation going just past my window after the quake. Just lost most everything inside--dishes, most of the furniture, etc. Some things were a bummer as they were antiques--antique glassware, antique furniture, an antique clock my grandfather had given me. My boyfriend had been thrashing around that night and I had moved to floor next to the bed, and a Victrola I had (which was destroyed) crashed an inch or two from my head.

I already had a move planned for a few days later back to Chicago, and every damn person I saw the day I moved asked if I was moving because of the quake. :rolleyes:

Thoughts and prayers on your long day. This sounds like me every day my wife doesn't feel well. I have no idea how working single parents do it.

a check?

 
Had to attend a company meeting in Marengo, Il today. Currently sitting in the back seat on a nearly 2 hour trip back to my office. I'm gonna take a nap. Hopefully I don't have any sexy dreams.
