GM's thread about nothing (57 Viewers)

Worked in the community garden this morning. As I was putting my second planting of the season of beets into the ground, I realized I am becoming dangerously close to finally morphing into Dwight Schrute. Anyone recommend a good dojo in Midtown Houston?

I saw a couple of minutes of that movie back in the day, looked really stupid.

Surfing is dumb. Sharks eat surfers. And both my kids have had that drilled into their brains, which seems pretty relevant since we live in Minnesota.

I got my stereo all wired up and back to tlife.

Now I'm starting to open up the boxes and boxes and boxes of LPs I've been carting around, unopened for at least 15 years.

First handful:

Pure Prairie League - mint condition, medicore to bad music.

Shaft Soundtrack - nice

Saturday NIght Fever soundtrack - I was pretty much anti-disco when working at Evolution Records in Huntsville when this LP came out and was the number one best seller for months. I'd drive to Houston and pick up a few cases of it and about six cases of everything else in the whole store.

Doobie Brothers - Toulouse Street- always liked them, never remember buying one of the LPs, since everyone else was always one.

Ramsey Lewis - Routes - no memory, but I think I like him

Styx Crystal Balls - no idea

Hugo and Luigi Chorus with Brass - no idea

Sweet hippie chick nakidness in the fold-out for which I was thankful as a teen.

 
When I got up this morning, my glucose level was an unacceptable 230. After some sensible snacks, medication, and an hour on the treadmill, it's at the bottom of the normal range at 81. :bowtie:

Time to destroy a combo platter at La Tapatia. :porked:

 
Just watched some guy spend 20 minutes cursing and yelling while trying to tie his (ostensibly dead) 4Runner up to another car to tow it off. He was using what looked to be clothesline so I offered him a ratchet strap to use. He declined and once he got it all tied up, he jumped in the 4Runner and it started right up and both vehicles drove off under their own power. I probably would have tried that to begin with.

Maybe he was just trying to save gas.

 
I regret never meeting Tremendous Upside but am grateful for knowing him through the powers of the Internet, this community and am so appreciative of our mutual friends. I'd like to start a tradition here and maybe it's silly or perhaps it won't work, but allow me to share. Please know my heart is in the right place here, so if what I propose is utterly goofy (entirely possible) maybe the smarter folks here can modify what I want to do because at the end of the day, I think we can do right by Sean and keep his spirit and infectious smile alive....

As I've said before, I waste no time taking unwanted mail and empty packages to our garage and putting it in our huge Oregon Loves Mother Earth recycling can. I hate clutter - absolutely loathe it, so when I see cardboard, it's getting flattened and oustered from my house in a hurry. For whatever reason, I kept the box Sean used to send me The Wire and two books (which I need to finish reading). I don't know why I kept it; perhaps I thought I'd use it to send something to somebody else, but I seldom ship anything. It is parked on the top shelf of my bathroom's cabinet where only I can reach it absent a step stool. Inside the box is about $300-400 worth of quarters, nickels and dimes. No pennies because #### them, right? They stink.

Anyhow, the point I'm crawling towards is that I'd like to use this box to ship Frosty $40 worth of beef sticks, some magic cookies and maybe some other goodies. However, I'm going to put this box inside another box to keep it safe. Stay with me....

I don't want any money from Frosty. What I want is for Frosty to make a minimum of a $50 donation to Chance for Hope Foundation, the charity started by Bigbottom and his lovely wife to honor their late son, Chance. They provide housing near the best medical care for families who have a child battling severe illness. I want Frosty to donate this money in Sean's name. And then I want him to send the box with goodies to another member of our little family. I don't care who (whom?), but that person will receive the box of goodies and make a donation and then forward it along to somebody else. A game of tag, so to speak, with a box Sean sent me years ago. A box filled with goodies that will be appreciated by the receiving person. I'd like to see if we can get this to take off. I want to see us raise a little money and I want to see us honor both Sean and Bigbottom by doing some good.

That's my idea. I will send the box of meat and other stuff to Frosty this week. Let's do this.

I turned it off after watching a woman crawl around like a spider and murder a bunch of police. Couldn't imagine it getting any more outlandish so ejected and went to bed.

 
I don't know that I've ever gotten my wife a gift for Valentine's Day with exception of a card and a $1 mini box of chocolates.

Then on the radio the other day I heard about a gift good for shtick while I could also make fun of her vampire fetish.

IT CAME TODAY!!

An excerpt from the book, (clears throat)

Cat Shirt's gaze went into Pepper, standing worried, just within view and his expression softened. "I am not certain what it is you think I do . Would you care to take this conversation outside?

I think we should have a nightly reading. Set us up the Google hangout.

I can do this. If you remember, when my brother's kid was born prematurely they were far from home in Colorado and ended up living in a Ronald McDonald house for like $20 a day for a month while he grew big and strong enough to come home and I've since had a soft spot in my heart for charities like that and Chance for Hope which help families out in tough times. I'm in.

First person to speak up will get the TUPbox full of DVDs and other stuff but mostly DVDs.

Thank you, buddy. It means a lot to me that you did this before I even sent the box to you. We can make this a neat little GMTAN tradition.
