If you can't approach this topic with a sense of humor (a la getting old sucks thread) you don't stand much of a chance.

Best (and worst) concept albums
Thought about "Astral Weeks" but in the end I don't see it fitting as a Concept Album. It doesn't really fit into any category, although Springsteen probably best described it as "trance music: poetry laid down over basic, repetitive chords that show you the possibility of the divine." It's just a perfect album that seemed to happen without great intent, which in the end is kinda the opposite of a CA.

Helping your wife through The Change
Lol, we just bought one last Fri and although the price negotiations went fine & the whole experience was low key, she did things along when it came time to sign the paperwork. We made it clear multiple times we were paying cash & not buying any extended service contracts, maintenance plans, etc. When the finance manager tried to start his pitch she gave him a dead-eyed stare & said "I'm hungry & we're heading for lunch. Say whatever you want, but when my husband's through writing the check we're taking the keys & leaving. " It was a true FAFO tone & it worked beautifully .

Helping your wife through The Change
Yeah, she's extremely conscious of her intake, religiously uses her high quality vitamins, doc has her on different meds to keep her balanced, etc. She's also on meds for a low thyroid so keeping everything finely tuned is the challenge. Will definitely look into the Ooler thing though.

Helping your wife through The Change
Alright, guys (and gals; you're the experts after all). What are your best survival tips? Mrs GOTJ was diagnosed as pre-menopausal about a year ago & now that train is roaring down the tracks. Rapid & dramatic body temperature changes, especially at night usually have her sleeping in the guest room. That's pretty easy to manage. But now it's the sudden mood swings that are spinning my head a la Linda Blair. Sure, over the past 20+ years I've become adept at dodging the verbal landmines & trick questions designed to test if I've been paying attention or not. But now she's got like superhero rapid fire interrogation abilities combined with other worldly hearing (no muttering under my breath) AND the ability to instantly burst into tears. Her doc has her on some good meds which helps somewhat, but I really don't want to end up in a shallow earthen grave in the near future because I didn't see the trap that was laid for me. Help me, surly-wan. You're my only hope.

Youth Minister's (and other pervs) Thread of Shame
There are too many innocent victims involved here-including the soon-to-be ex-wife & teenage kids-to get too specific. The perv is still cooling his heels in the local jail while they determine if an actual crime was committed. But there is apparently video evidence & the location of the tryst will turn quite a few heads in disgust.

Trump will let Elon bomb the fuck out of a small brown country for shits & giggles for a few billion.

Youth Minister's (and other pervs) Thread of Shame
Marble Falls is about to get some ugly attention. Keep your eyes out for reports of a church elder pushing 60 years old who's been accused of having sex w/ a 17 year old girl. Should be hitting the local news in the next day or two.

Is there any chance of Iowa's Democratic party rebranding themselves a la Minnesota and their Democrat Farm Labor (DFL) party? It obviously takes more than just changing the letterhead to change Iowa blue, but Iowa has too many sensible moderates to be stuck with full on GQP/MAGA leadership.- Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty
Just like taxes, only suckers pay their bills. That's Trump's cardinal rule. When you're born rich & white they let you get away with it, too. - Trump Presidential Photo Album
