Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Early in our marriage, she got a "Gazelle" machine, which was fucking stupid. Then she kicked it up a notch to an elliptical, which she actually did use from time to time but not enough to justify the purchase. After it sat for years with clothes hanging on it, we sold it and I thought the game was finally over. But no, some fucker on FB just had to sell this thing. She has already talked about one of those little walking treadmills but I have vetoed her idea.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
We've had a giant, gym quality treadmill in the spare bedroom for several years, and you'll be shocked to hear that my wife never fucking used it. Well, she decided to start but it up and died after like 3 uses. It'll cost too much to fix so I said it's outta here. Yesterday was moving day. I didn't expect or really need any help, but my wife just had a couple of surgeries and couldn't help, regardless. I knew this. She knew this, too. But she felt like she had to stand behind me and whimper "I wish I could help" like 50 fucking times. I said I didn't need her to "help" other than opening the front door, and that her constant comments were the opposite of help. She didn't take the hint. Then, as I'm maneuvering this huge fucking bastard treadmill through the narrow hall, she felt like she needed to chime in with "You've almost got it; You're doing great", as I struggled and swore. I finally had to drop the bomb and say that she was acting just like my mother, who was a great person but felt like she just had to micromanage everything, even if she was just watching. Feelings were hurt, along with my back, but I finally got it out of the house. For the cherry on top, she felt like she had to walk me outside, like a mother taking her kid to the bus stop. I said "I know where I'm going, you can wait here" and she stomped away. Fuck treadmills

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
TV show seasons being so spread out is stupid. I got friends asking if I'm up to date on Stranger Things, it's been 3 fucking years! I barely remember WTF was happening when it stopped. The desire to finish it just isn't there. Maybe I'll give a shit about it again one day.

I caught the cancer
It's never gonna happen. I'm stuck here for all eternity, because she already told me that she's gonna bury my ass here. Hello darkness, my old friend

I caught the cancer
Went to my wife's appointment with the oncologist yesterday. It's official: she's cancer free and there's nothing left to do. No chemo, no radiation, no hormone blockers. We are done with this shit. I realize that what she (and I, to a much lesser extent) went through pales in comparison to what many of you are dealing with, so please don't think I'm getting chesty. I'm just thankful. I want our normal, stress-free lives back.

Took my wife to her Dr. appointment. It was scheduled for 4:30 but they said we had to be there by 4:00. We got there at 3:45 and didn't see the doctor till 6:00.

Since they're both dead, that pretty much rules out a medical emergency, like heart attack. So that leaves carbon monoxide poisoning, murder-suicide, or double murder. And yeah, I've seen the rumors about their son doing it. I guess he's had a lot of problems in his life.- ‘25-‘26 Awards Season

If a game is being broadcast on an OTA channel, why the fuck to I have to have a cable subscription in order to watch the stream online??? They still show the fucking commercials in the stream. They still plaster ads all over their page. GTFOH with that shit.- UT vs Aggy: Jizz Contest for $10k Prize
Back in the 80s, one of my friend's dad had a movie that sounds similar to this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128611/- 2025 Big Ten Championship - Ohio State vs. Indiana
My dad was born and raised in Bloomington. I was wearing IU gear since I was a toddler. We had great talks about IU football last year, I never thought we could top that. I just called him, he was asleep LOL. He's 78 and couldn't stay awake. I'm about to drop a bunch of $$$ on B1G champs gear. I don't give a fuck. This may never happen again. I'm gonna buy my grandkids some stuff, too. I cannot act like I've been there before, because I have not.- Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Someone hung a 5 foot tall wreath in the hallway at my office. Whenever I leave to go to the bathroom or something, I see this thing in the corner of my eye and it looks like there's a guy, leaning against the wall like some 50's hoodlum. There's not a lot of traffic in this hallway, so it catches me off guard. Like, how did this MF get in? And then I realize it's that fucking wreath.- I caught the cancer
Oh, the drains. Yeah, she had them after the mastectomy. Yes, I drained them every time she needed it, logged the amount of fluid I took out from each side, and I made sure to swab the fuck out of them with alcohol wipes. She hates the damn things. She got them out on Tuesday but the reconstruction is next Tuesday, so she'll only get a week's worth of relief. She said the drains have been the worst part of this whole thing, by far.- I caught the cancer
We went to my wife's follow up appointment, got the pathology reports. All clear, they got all of it out during surgery (not that there was much to take out). Also the lymph nodes were clear, nothing to see there. No chemo, no radiation. We will have a visit with the oncologist to discuss hormone therapy, but that will be after the reconstruction is done. I want to feel relieved but I can't just yet, this whole thing happened so fast. I think I might be on edge for a while.- Official 2025 Holiday Insanity Bitchfest
My kids are grown and out of the house, one in another state. Both have kids of their own. My sister has been making some comments about how it isn't fair that they don't get to see my grandkids, and how my dad isn't doing well, blah blah. My sister's kids are losers and don't have (and will never have) kids of their own, which means my grandchildren are the closest she's ever going to get. I have told her and my dad that I can't control where my kids are on Christmas or thanksgiving or whatever holiday. We either have to have multiple get togethers or go without. Nobody wins and I have to hear about it.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
