GM's thread about nothing (71 Viewers)

[Rustoleum]

Still really looking forward to visiting the Angola Prison Rodeo this fall. I should probably begin making plans.

TF or HF, you guys are welcome to cornhole. Prison cornholes are the best.

Is Fish riding?

 

[Tiger Fan]

Hope everything went well shuke

shuke,

Hope your daughter does alright with the surgery. That kind of crap terrifies me.

Thanks guys. She did really well. Took a good nap when we got home and was in good spirits tonight. But she definitely has some double vision and is putting her arms out when she walks near walls or objects. This can be typical for a little time while the brain adjusts to the eyes being aligned, but it is not easy for me to watch. But she kept making jokes about there being two of whatever she was looking at.

Re: your son, it seems like a no-brainer to NOT make him do it in front of people. Why not take him to a parking lot on a Sunday for some place that is closed? There has to be somewhere else you can do it, otherwise you may only be making things worse.

I agree I have to get him somewhere else. Someone posted a link earlier about going down a grassy slope, maybe Bobby Sac. Thanks, looks like good advice.

My son was the exact same way after his eye surgery. Everything turned out great. Hope it's the same for you GB

Thanks. How long did it last for your son?

A day or so. I remember the next morning he said "I see two daddies!" and then he tried to follow his brother into the playroom and looked like a drunk sailor.

The biggest pain in the ### was just keeping water and dirt out of his eyes...b/c he's rough as hell. He wasn't a big fan of the antibiotic cream that we had to rub on his eyelashes (that absorbed into his eyes) every night, but after a minute or so of crying he got over it. All in all, it was much better than I expected

I'm not that keen on the other two, but Wizard of Oz is a brilliant movie.

you probably just like it b/c they can just throw houses into the air on a whim

 

[krista4]

Oh, regarding likes, I know you can get more if you go mobile but that sounds like a lot of trouble. My replenished likes are just coming on my laptop. Is there anything else to this "process" that I need to know?

 

[BobbyLayne]

My kids are weird. The only thing they will eat consistently is beans. Black beans, green beans, garbanzo beans, doesn't matter.

Pre-schoolers? Both my kids were like that.

Yeah both under 3 years old

Not sure what that means, maybe immature taste buds like bland. At that age texture or shape means as much/more than flavor?

Everytine I thought my 5 y.o. was into something new, I'd go down to Costco in Brooklyn and get the jumbo family size triple pack. She's been off the charts tiny, 5th per tile or less, so if she liked something fattening, I'd decide immediately this is it, finally going to put meat on her. She'd quit after trying it two more times, leaving the last 34 for 50 y.o. poppa. I was a lean guy until 45, now I'm a ducking whale.

Kids are the worst best thing.

Ask Aaron.

 

[Otis]

Am I right that there was not ever a prettier song than Somewhere Over the Rainbow?

I'm certain of it. Go ahead and watch the original Wizard of Oz, report back.

There are 3 movies I told my wife I will never ever ever let my kids watch.

1. Wizard of Oz

2. Mary Poppins

3. Sound of Music

My mom made me watch all of these "classics" as a kid and I hated them with a passion. No way I'm subjecting my boys to this ####.

My 3 year old daughter absolutely loves Wizard of Oz right now. Watch it nearly daily.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

This kid is less than 2 months away. I'm kinda freaked out.

Someone wanna explain the "like" process to Henry and Krista?

It's like riding a bike

Probably a genius move showing her the flying monkeys at an age she's not really grasping the concept. NBD. Because from ages 5 to 10 that #### is pure terror. Princess O will be telling her 3rd grade friends "Seriously, guys? It's a flying monkey. You can come out from behind the couch. I'll 'protect' you."

Funny I was commenting to my wife that I thought it was kind of a scary movie when I was a kid. 3YO is totally unfazed.

Watching Unhung Hero on netflix (sorry GM). It's a documentary about a guy with a small wang who tries to make it unsmall. It's pretty funny.

Cognitive recognition hasn't developed. At 3-1/2 mine thought the Monsters Inc DVD was funny. A full year later we saw Monsters University in the theater. 20 minutes in she hopped out of her seat into my lap. Watched most of the movie over her shoulder while clinging to my neck.

 

[BobbyLayne]

FWIW, this is a phenominnal series.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000BCLI26?pc_redir=1401106488&robot_redir=1

Most of those stories were Caldecott medal winners. There's over 100 stories on the set (4-6 per disk) and almost all of them are books that will be read to them during preschool-PK years. It's a great introduction to story telling.

My daughter is in the Baltics with her U Choir, after 10 days they are coming home tomorrow. Her BF is also in the choir and on the trip.

She just texted me the following: "I broke up with BF, I'm pretty sure he's gay, WHAT THE ####" "Now I have to deal with this and when we get off the plane say goodbye to all my friends forever, WTF?. I'm a mess"

I don't even know how to handle this.

"Duh, he's in the choir" down?

Seriously, she'll figure it out. Perhaps spin it as a way to pull all her focus on her music....the best art comes from pain.

Watching Unhung Hero on netflix (sorry GM). It's a documentary about a guy with a small wang who tries to make it unsmall. It's pretty funny.

Speaking of wang size, a cast member of "All The Way" told me LBJ allegedly had an enormous member. He nicknamed in jumbo in college. When he was Senate majority leader he used to walk around Congressional CC naked talking other members trying to get them to vote with him. Most of these congressmen were scrawny Ivy leaguers and here is this 6'4" Texas cattle rancher with a horse cack booming at them "Now Jim I need to know we can count on you!"

YW. No way you can unvisualize that now.

Good stuff GM, thanks.

But she's way out of Homers age range, pushing 23 already.

Notebook says she'll be in NYC next week. When's he moving back to Ohio?

Pack, you've done good with that one. There may not be words that will help her right now, but she'll appreciate you listening. Heartbreak sucks, we all experience it, but man - it's gotta be 1,000 times worse when it's your little girl. Do your best in trying to help her understand, and trust her. She'll make good choices. Everything up until now prepared her for this. That's a good kid you got, and she'll be OK. But def sucks short term.

It is okay and maybe even encouraged to add description and context to posts containing links. Not everybody can be Tanner. I clicked on your link, saw Lando Calrision staring back and clicked off immediately.

Is Thirsty Lion a national chain? Took the family there tonight and we had a blast. Also, short skirted waitresses!

Six Seasons and a Movie: The dream that would not die.

While NBC hasn’t changed its mind about another season of the show, Sony Pictures Television, the primary studio behind Dan Harmon’s show, is in active conversations with Hulu Plus about the possibility of producing one more 13-episode season of the show.
