  1. This was me. My interest level across all sports has dwindled with each passing day, and ESPN hasn't been able to produce anything to entice me to tune in.

    Getting old sucks

    My buddy's dad is 75, his leukemia has made a return visit. After being told he's got around 3 months left, they decide they're going to do some new, aggressive treatment. Before he starts the new treatment, he fell and broke his hip. Treatment delayed until he heals, so his time is running out. While he's in rehab, he gets a bad bedsore. Treatment needs to be delayed further. The doc tells my friend, "If it were my own father, I'd look into hospice care". His dad is pretending that this will all blow over and won't have The Talk. My friend is taking it hard. My dad is 75, is in so-so health after almost dying a few years ago. His brother isn't doing well. Dad told me if his brother dies, He won't be able to travel to the funeral. He can't ride in a car for very long (back), he can't fly (eye problems from the Beetus). He didn't sound like he was too upset but I can tell it bothers him.
  3. The OKC metro just got blasted with hail. My poor roof. Fuck this shit.
  4. My wife has done this same move whilst holding her phone in her hand.
  5. 55.75% for me. F the haters.
  6. Those Marshall's employees didn't bother lifting a finger. They already know they have killer deals, customers enter at their own risk.
  7. You're asking a lot from the people I see on here that won't answer their phone if they don't know the number. You think they're gonna get up and answer the door??? As the father of twins, I'm a little perplexed by the "Younger twin brother" statement. Who says that? I never have.
  8. Slowly making progress on my '79 Camaro. I got my seats installed, that wasn't too bad. I have the carpet but I held off trying to put that in because I wanted to see how my "Tall Person" seat extension brackets would work. Turns out they work great, so I can do the carpet later. My brand new seat belts that Ebay "Guaranteed" would fit...did not. It wasn't even close. But I went to the salvage yard and got one for $9.00, so that took away some of the sting. After that, I finally got to take my wife on a short cruise. She's only somewhat scared to ride in it, lol.
  9. For $900 worth of stuff, I'd go full Zed-Marsellus on Karen's ass.
  10. It's just a money-making scheme for child safety. Because they damn sure don't use it to fix roads and bridges. It was so much bullshit. When we had inspections in Oklahoma, it was $5 and the shop got to keep around $1 of that. But since it was such a waste of manpower, you got the lowest guy on the totem pole to do your inspection. So the idea that it was going to "Keep people safe" was a joke. Like Jethro, the HS dropout was the one man keeping unsafe cars off the road. Unless it was his buddy/family member/some hot chick. It was mostly a tax on the poor. "Oh, your tires are too bald,, no sticker and no driving until it gets fixed. What's that, now you can't drive to work to get money to fix the tires? Too bad, poor guy. "
  11. If I happen to walk silently into the room and catch her off guard, she recoils and gasps "OMG you scared me!". If I try to make some noise to announce that I'm en route to her location, I get "OMG I heard a noise and I was like what's that and it freaked me out!".
  12. This man was seen fleeing the scene
  13. Hey, these are cops we're talking about. They could totally be arresting the wrong guy.
  14. Why not just burn them the rest of the way? I mean, they're already halfway done.
  15. My wife and I will show each other a card when we happen to be at the store. "Happy birthday, look at this funny card". Then we put the cards back and move on. She thinks it's great, I lucked out.
  16. I legit forgot about the Bruins. I almost feel bad about it.
  17. My sister dated her husband (now deceased, RIP to my BIL) for several years before they got married. When I asked why they keep waiting, she said in her first marriage, she and her husband fought about money and that she "didn't want any man telling me what to do with MY money ever again". I thought that was fair. But then she also admitted that she had " A LOT" of credit card debt that he was unaware of. To his credit, they got married and my BIL got that shit paid off.
  18. Greetings, fellow 43% Hugo Boss fan.
  19. They should make the Rose Bowl the permanent B10 title game host. Treat it like a mini super bowl. Nice weather, fun trip for the players. Sure, USC could reach the game and get a home field advantage but I doubt it would happen enough to make it an issue.
  20. I feel bad for the guy's family but I don't think I'd get involved either. Some bleeding guy coming up on me at 2:30 AM, especially in SF? I'm noping out of there.
  21. Exactly. IDGAF if guys want to jump off of their roof into a pool or strap a buch of firecrackers to themselves and set them off, on their own property. Just stay the fuck away from people when you do this shit. I don't want to be a prop in some asshole's comedy routine.
  22. Our HVAC guy came to do the spring check-up, as usual. I had the checkbook ready but once again, I got all flustered when I had to fill the damn thing out. I don't write checks often enough and I kept double checking everything, plus my pen died halfway through filling it out and it made me feel like a moron. I know he doesn't give a shit but I fucking hate it. And no, independent tradesmen in Oklahoma ain't taking your venmo or whatever the fuck apps you'd prefer to use to pay them. This ain't Dallas, buddy. Write a check.
  23. My buddy lived in a shitty part of Tulsa and finally had enough. He moved his family to Skiatook and loves it. He's pretty hick-ish, so it's right up his alley, he tells me.
  24. My co-worker's phone cord looks like this and it enrages me.
  25. I live in OK, have a CCL. I used to carry to and from work, as I drive through some shitty areas, but after my work schedule got change to WAH part time, I just sort of forgot about carrying. I got used to rarely going anywhere. My 9mm is in my nightstand, haven't touched it in months. Also have a 12 gauge in the bedroom closet. I think open carry is retarded.
