re: Rude invading France

I just remembered that back in the 6th grade we were assigned a project to make food native to another country. BFF & me made French toast and French fries.

What a couple of idiots.

Sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.

SLB definitely put his testiclees all over her.

 

[Henry Ford]

Edit: found beer in McDonalds! It's on the menu in small print. Doesn't even say what type though. Still happy about it though.

Everything in this city is crazy expensive. Headed home tomorrow. Can't wait.

Way better idea than hitting any of those overrated French restaurants.

If I can somehow convince my company to pay for my airfare to Milwaukee and then to San Diego in July, I can attend 2 days of Beerhole '14. utsidechance:

I was trying to do this to Mrs. SLB but she's all "I've been up since 4 o'clock this morning and worked 10 hours today!!". Oh boo freaking hoo. Plus I think I may be really close to tearing my Achilles...it hurts really bad and is very swollen..

how many McDonald's visits did you make in Paris?

Walked into one on Champs Élysées but didn't see beer so leftDecided to check at the one by my hotel when walking home at the end of the night. Didn't see it last night but google told me they sell it so I went in again tonight for confirmation. It's not easy to find.

I didn't order anything though. Just a quick pop in each time.

:sinkhole: alert

right across the street from floppoville, in front of famous Katz's deli. sounds like it was a water main break. getting home should be a ton of fun tonight.

so Tanner, or you other suburban types.... what do you guys do when you get all your sinkholes?

Tanner jumps into them with archaeological hammers looking for fossilized remains of his relatives.

Pretty sure you we all have fossilized relatives somewhere, Dr. Genius.

Yeah that wasn't the best 'Tanner is old' blast. Maybe 'descendants' instead of relatives?

"First wife"

SLJ's death is still amazing

You scared me there for a minute.

Oh my god it actually did panic me for a few seconds! I still don't know who SLJ is but as long as it wasn't SLB, I'm OK now.

If it lasts for more than four hours, you should see a doctor.

Lousy Zooks. I'll tell you what I told Mrs. SLB tonight. The shape my body is in and how fast it is breaking down , I'll be dead soon enough. No need to wish it on me.

[mr roboto]

I had 47 dents in a 2 door car from hail last month.

 

[Osaurus]

Oh hail no!

 

[GroveDiesel]

I just got rid of my Christmas tree. Yeah, I'm that neighbor.

How did that not catch fire and burn your whole house down?

Bogart: the bar has been raised.

 

[YSR]

Speaking of hail, indulge me in a "woe is me" for a moment if you will. Romo didn't end up going to OH last week; instead, he's heading to Colorado Springs to work a recent hail storm. He got the call at around 6:00 tonight and has to be there at 10:00 Sunday morning, so he is leaving tomorrow to start the ~19 hour drive.

Two things:

1. This weekend we were supposed to go to SC for Charlotte's christening. I know that doesn't mean anything to a large majority of this thread, but it's been planned for months and we (along with family and friends) have been looking forward to the weekend for a good while now. As it stands now, my mom is going to call the church to see if we can postpone it (even though the church bulletins went out in the mail earlier this week). We'll try to move it to a weekend when we know he'll be around... say, around the time of the birth of his son in early August.

But wait.

2. I learned tonight that his deployment and all future deployments are 100% open-ended, versus the set 30 or 60 day ones he's been on while training. Sure, they'll let him come home for the birth of his son if he gives them enough warning, but there will be no "I need to be home starting late July to be sure I'm there for the birth of my child." If we schedule the birth, he's sure to be home. If I go into labor a couple of weeks early, there is a chance he won't be here. It's premature to be anxious about it, but knowing that there is even a possibility makes me... just... God, I don't even know what.

And before anyone weighs in with "he should be a man and tell his company what's what" or "family should come first" type stuff, just know that he's been practically in tears tonight. Our daughter - his EVERYTHING - is days from taking her first steps and he'll miss that, along with her first day of daycare, etc. But even if this is only a 30-day deployment, it will basically get us out of our nagging remaining credit card debt, pay for the car we have to buy, and allow some breathing room (until his next deployment) so that I don't have to go back to work. It will kill him to be so far but he's doing it for the family.

I'm sad. And pissed. And scared. And frankly, already exhausted by the prospect of finishing this pregnancy alone with an active 11-month-old. Thoughts, prayers, wishes and booze (if you can sneak it past flysack) are welcome.

 

[Abraham]

It gets better, c.

 

[Frostillicus]

Hang in there YSR. Romo is a good man. You'll get through this.

 

[mr roboto]

Romo sounds like a great husband and father. God bless you two!

 

[FDAS]

I had 47 dents in a 2 door car from hail last month.

Do you think you would've had more dents, if the car had 4 doors?

 

[St. Louis Bob]

If you want, I can be there during delivery for you.

Remember that it is always darkest before the don.

No matter how hard things seem right now, just know that life with two small children will be much, much worse.
