GM's thread about nothing (69 Viewers)

I'll watch my sports and hillbillies you can watch your beauty pageants. Let me know how they do with their world peace question

 
Huh, I just learned (via the newspaper, not the pageant, BTW) that there are only about two cases of human rabies a year in America and only about 500 pets contract the disease annually. For some reason it seems like those numbers should be a lot higher.

Find out today whether or not our bid was accepted by the sellers. Can't sleep, been a hectic few days. Fearful Hazel will have another seizure; though unlikely, still keeping me up.

I had to chime in too about your nerves with your poor daughter having a febrile seizure. I am 100000% with you there...that was bar none the scariest moment, 10 minutes, hour, day of my freaking life. Good news is she'll be fine and when its all behind you the doctors are reassuring that its not that big a deal and there is no harm done, but holy crap, its awful in the moment. In our case my family and I were traveling back home and had a short layover in Salt Lake City that turned into a long layover due to a canceled flight. So we made the best of it and took the train into town to walk around, get something to eat (drink) and kill time. We had been carting my 18 month old daughter in her stroller all afternoon, she had just got done taking a snooze in it, and were waiting for the train to take us back to the airport right at the stop right by the main downtown mall. My wife looks down and says "Uh, does she look weird to you?". The look she had on her face is one that is burnt forever into my brain: she was staring weirdly off out of the corner of her eyes, shoulders slumped at a weird angle, and her lips were freaking blue. I immediately pick her up and start patting her on the back as I think she's choking. She's like a ragdoll in my arms. She's not coming too and my wife now starts screaming (about the worst soul-crunching scream you can imagine) for help. It then hits me: I'm watching my daughter die in front of me from something....choking, aneurysm, undiscovered heart ailment: I'm watching her die. Oh yeah, my 7 year old and 4 year old sons are screaming her name too and breaking down. My wife grabs her, everyone else on the train platform is now just looking at us, I sprint like a freak back into the mall and start yelling for a nurse, doctor, anything. Lady quickly comes out with me and someone else on the train platform had a water and they poured it on my daughter. She comes to, crying, and I hold her and realize for the first time she is burning up. The paramedics show up a minute or two later. 35 minutes later and some ibuprofen she is no worse for wear, but it took me about an hour to calm her brothers down from what they'd experienced. Ugh.

I had heard of a febrile seizure, but she nor any of my older kids had ever had one. She had shown zero signs of even getting anything...she had been running around a play area and slurping ice cream before she started napping. I had never seen one in person. We obviously missed our flight....our bags had flown on without us and I just bought us clothes as we had to spend the night in a hotel. She slept between my wife and I and I never slept one second overnight. Just stared at her. Horrible moment that I need a drink now from just remembering.

Thanks for letting me relate a little, GM. Febrile seizure brothers! :hifive: :sadbanana:

tl;dr: Febrile seizures, like, suck and stuff yo.

Wow....that's way scarier! Thanks for sharing, and stick around, Uwe. Thread could use more of you.

Michael Scott's Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race for the Cure really brought a lot of awarenss to the disease.

Because vaccinations work. Too bad it gives cats and dogs the autism.

Man. Seems like I shouldnt have put the whole family through a series of rabies shots last year then.

 
warnings of storms makes people go ape-#### over bread, milk and eggs. just hit the supermarket for my usual Sunday run- that stuff was cleaned out in advance of Snowmaggedan.

it's nyc- unless it's a sandy-type thing where the power goes out for most of a week (fml, if that happens)- we've got bodegas and markets 3 to a block.

 
I'm watching a show on TLC about an English lady who thinks all fat people are terrible. She just said "all I see are a bunch of fat bastards draining our national health system." In order to prove her point, she put on 50 pounds in three months and is now trying to lose it in three months. High quality entertainment. I love her.

That is one fast mother####er. My old roommate beat me by 15, but he's also officially the fastest 40 year old in Cedar Park.

Dude runs 10 miles each day before coming to work. It's stupid, and I've told him as much.

Yeah, he should definitely be taking life advice from you. Seems like he's really scrufing along.

Jesus, that thing is a 6 hour read. Cliffs notes?

Cliffs notes - It's a buzzfeed article. Meaning some broad on your facebook feed should post a stupid opinion about it in a few days. HTH

Did you try to read it? It was insidiously tedious...like an English Patient version of porn. Get to the money.

There was no money. This was a rambling way of saying "thank you for cheating on me." She's now a delusional 50 something who is sure 30 year olds want to bang her.

I've never read it, but doesn't Eat, Pray, Love have a similar arc and word count?

 
For ####'s sake, people...one more time:

Columbia = nerdy Ivy Leaguers, where your GB k4 went to school

Colombia = drug cartels, hot women

What I've taken from the last 20 pages of GMTAN is that 99% of kids die from childhood diseases, Jenny-McCarthy-related items, or scurvy.

Seriously, it seems terrifying to have a kid. :( Kind of understand how the YSRs and GMs of the world have so many, just so they can have enough survive to till their fields.

 
We are among the *confirmed* Vegasholers, but our original 7:10 a.m. flight was canceled, and we were put on the 10:50 a.m. flight instead. Then today we got a notice that the 10:50 was moved to 10:10 a.m. So by April, god knows what time we'll actually be arriving.

 
In about 6 hours we announce to our employees that we sold the company. Sorry if I've been even more neurotic, depressed and checked out the last 4-5 months than normal.

I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. The HJ a couple of hours ago did nothing. Ambien was taken an hour ago. Nothing.
