    Getting old sucks

    When I wake up in the middle of the night and get out of bed and head to the bathroom or kitchen or whatever it’s like I’m super drunk. Dizzy, can’t keep my balance, etc. Goes away after a minute or three. Told my Dr. about it this morning and she acted like it’s no big deal, said something about how I’d said I’d been congested and that could be effecting me…. Lil scary.
  2. Cousins for sure. Not all vegans are animal rights, but probably high 90’s percentile of animal rights activists are vegan.
  3. Seems like I purchase a 3 cables for 10 bucks deal on Amazon once a month.
  4. Back to the “You paid 20 cent too much for the milk” comment. I’m the same way with gas, my wife will tell me it’s 4 cents cheaper at another station and gets upset I don’t want to drive there instead. That’s like maybe 50 cents out of my pocket and it’s across town. My time may not be. worth much, but it’s worth 50 cents for sure.
  5. Virgin Atlantic flew a 787 across the Atlantic using a fuel made solely from animal fats, and it could cut jet emissions by 70%. Vegans are going to lose their collective shit if this becomes a regular deal, and I’m more than ok with that.
  6. I hit a few of the ticket sites this morning and it looks like there are seats available in most sections.
  7. I thought so too, but the students were out for Thanksgiving, and it looked like we were going be UCF’d again so probably half the crowd we did have left at halftime. TBH freezing rain may have been my “Screw it, it’s warm in the truck” breaking point too.
  8. Rosalynn Carter seemed like a genuinely great woman, a real girl next door type. Jimmy was a shitty President, but they may have been the best people to ever be a first couple.
  9. Feel free to laugh at me but I keep these bad boys in my truck and the wife’s SUV. As a man that can stain his shirt drinking a glass of water these have come in handy.
  10. Yeah, he’s been somewhat banged up the last couple of games. He’ll show a limp after one play then seem normal the next but he still continues to produce. Obviously much tougher than I am. Wish we had a prep week before the CCG week.
  11. Honestly don’t know what to think about this game, as a team we’ve been all over the place this season. I don’t think we have a chance, but seems like every time I’m sure we’re going to take a beating we somehow pull out a win. I’m going to the game, but the fact that my kid really wants to go to Great Wolf Lodge and has never been to the stadium plays into the decision. Pokes usually travel well, so there should be quite a few “good orange” fans in the seats, even with the stupid high ticket prices. I think y’all are set up to counter any of our offensive weapons, and our defensive secondary has been suspect all season, but dammit I still have high hopes! (And low expectations)
  12. Maybe! Actually it came with the tools, just needed a hairdryer to release the glue.
  13. Sounds like someone got waitlisted to OSU and still just can’t get over it.
  14. Presley won the Houston game for us, and Gordon just hasn’t looked the same since he was basically a no show at UCF. Still always dangerous but nowhere as explosive as before.
  15. $9.99 replacement lens kit from Amazon and a YouTube lesson and you’re back in business
  16. My wife has no idea this place exists, and if she ever stumbles upon it I’m lying straight to her face that I have no idea what it could be! It’s my god damn Fortress of Solitude for Christ’s sake!
  17. Needed gas and stopped at Buc-Ees in Wharton. At least 40 pumps and all were full, but maybe 5 people actually pumping gas! The rest were just parked there while the people were inside buying sugary something and assorted bullshit made in China.
  18. “Here’s the link, please order these” doesn’t seem that out of line of a request for someone with decades of govt purchasing experience. But you’re 100% right, when she said she was buying in the upper level because of the kid and there were good deals I ASS-umed she meant directly above where I asked her to purchase or at least in the same proximity as there were (Still are I’m sure) tons of seats available on the visitors side. Oh well, just another ankle roll along the trail to marital bliss.
  19. Headed to Houston tomorrow to hopefully watch my Pokes put the final nail in Holgy’s tenure there. I enjoy going to games there because even though UH is ghetto adjacent it has to be the cheapest place you can attend a B12 game, plus it’s under 2 hours instead of a full 9 to Stilly. So last week I’m looking at tickets and find some on the 45, aisle seats row 7 for around 65 bucks ( less fees of course) with a parking pass and ask my wife to buy them. A couple of hours later I ask her if she bought them and she reminded me that my kid likes the 2nd level because she thinks she can see better, plus they’re half the cost. (There are tickets for this game for 4 bucks on StubHub) Says she found some on the first row and she was going to buy those. I didn’t tell her that row 1 will have people walking in front of you all game, just said ok and decided to pick my next battle on something else. Last night she tells me she wished she’d waited to buy because there look to be better deals. I tell her there usually is closer to game day but what we have will be fine. She tells me that the better seats are “closer to the middle”, and ours are on the 7 yard line. I kept my goddamn mouth shut but holy shit row 7 on the 45, and 2nd level 7 yard line are not the same thing by a long freaking way! Plus now I get to find and pay for parking!!
  20. Iceland’s a little smaller than New York State, everything’s close to everything when it comes to giant volcanos
  21. Have on my DVR, I’ll try to get to it soon.
  22. No pages on my phone. Scrolled then searched. Oh well, thanks for the heads up! Delete awayyyyyyyyyy!
  23. Looked and didn’t see a thread. If there’s another thread feel free to remove, or just move. Damn CBS hooked me in with a couple of episodes. Really enjoyed it! Anyone else?
  24. Masters level, we’ll done!!
