  1. I made the mistake of texting my sister to she if she had talked to our dad about our christmas get-together. She lives 1/2 mile from him and sees him more than I do, as I live 20 miles away. This innocent question quickly turned into her sending me longcat texts, letting me know that she (and dad, supposedly) are mad that my adult children see my MIL and their maternal grandparents/extended family more than they see my side, and how she feels like an afterthought to them, blah blah. I resisted the urge to blast her about her own kids' bullshit and said I'd ask my kids and get back to her. My daughters are 21 (no pics) and have moved out of my house and have jobs and lives of their own. I cannot control their schedule and don't want to. Now I don't want to go over there at all, I don't want this fucking drama bullshit.
  2. Why does he just happen to have recordings of the events? And if you're in the kind of relationship that behooves you to randomly record your conversations for your own protection, why the fuck are you still in that relationship????
  3. Judging from all of that leg/knee room, this appears to be a tiny child. So I guess they should tell their mom or dad what's going on.
  4. I used on when I was on vacation in London last week. It was the greatest, I fucking loved it. I'd say 60% of men over there were wearing one too. I was so sad when I came back home and I'm too embarrassed to use one now.
  5. When Bob Knight got fired from Indiana due to his own off the court issues, the team loved asst coach Mike Davis and made a run to the championship game. They begged IU to make him the HC and he got the job. Turns out he was a shit coach and IU has been wandering the desert for the better part of 20 years. You need to pray that Texas does a real coaching search after the season.
  6. My brother-in-law died last year in very similar circumstances. Cardiac event, loss of oxygen to the brain, never woke up. Such an awful thing for his family.
  7. He'll vow to dedicate his life to finding the real stranglers.
  8. Nothing says "Top Tier Human" like choking your old lady.

    London

    Just got home after 10 days in London. I hadn't been since 1985, so it was almost like I had never been at all. The tube is just easy mode for getting around, loved it. My legs were fucked after the first 2-3 days of walking so much but I acclimated after that. Now it's just my left knee that feels like it's full of broken glass. Saw the normal tourist stuff, hit up a couple of christmas markets. Saw the Morocco fans storm the fountain at Piccadilly after making it to the knockout round. I can't imagine how wild it is right now as they've made the semis. Overall, a really good time.
  10. If the perp had stopped watching the house and just looked at the porn mags that were inevitably left in said woods, this whole situation could've been avoided. Ain't nobody got the urge to stab while in their refractory period.
  11. Speak for yourself. I've never had a complaint about how I service a box.

    Getting old sucks

    Last saturday, I was out shopping with the wife. She was trying on coats and I was holding the bags. After shifting these bags around a few times, I pulled a muscle in my ribs, below the shoulder blade. I could only take half breaths, the pain wrapped around my right side, it was pretty bad. We left the store and I said we gotta go home. I was driving and that was a mistake, it was a nightmare. We get home and I laid down and felt better quickly. Sunday, I was much better. Monday, I was getting dressed and as I pulled up my pants, that same muscle/area said "Surprise, bitch!". Thankfully, I was working from home last week.
  13. This will be the first holiday season since both of my kids have moved out. So of course, my dad and sister are asking me about their availability for such-and-such day. I just say I don't know. Why can't they text or call these adults?? That's a trick question: they know that if my kids aren't interested, they will forget to reply. They aren't bad kids, they're just 21 year olds who would rather do their own thing, I get it. But I am expected to play the telephone game and get info from one person and relay it to another. Fucking hell.
  14. This chick's voice/cadence makes me want to launch myself into the blackness of space.
  15. It's the "ph". Steven with a V doesn't have the drive. He's most likely in the back of the store, watching porn on his phone.
  16. Saw some bullshit on facebook (my fault for being on there, I get it) that read "Only 7 wednesdays till Christmas!". GTFO with that wannabe jedi mind trick shit. It's 7 fucking weeks.
  17. Welp, close the book on Oklahoma City, I suppose. All kidding aside, I'd go along with the others that are suggesting Chicago. Such a cool place, at least it was when I visited 25+ years ago.
  18. Or all of those tiny, jagged tips come flying off onto your shirt when you peel the wrapper off.
  19. We were straightening up the house yesterday and my wife asked me "Do you want to keep this?" but she asked me when I was not looking at her at all, I was turned away and focused on my task. I said what is it, she says "You weren't looking at me, I was holding it up". I said why not just ask directly, like "Do you want to keep this receipt/paperwork?", then I can answer your question. Not only did she not agree with my take on this, she did the same damn thing 5 mins later, only this time she waited until I was almost out of the room to ask me. Some tone was had on both sides.
  20. If only you could go back in time and just let go of her and slip away into that mass of humanity. Like Andy Dufrense, wading through shit and coming out on the other side.
  21. Flipped over to the ou game earlier, saw Gabriel slide a couple of times. It seems like he waits until he's in a tight crowd to slide, maybe that's just due to the camera angle though. They need to make the rule that these QBs can only slide when there's no one within 5 yards or so. You either give up sooner or you take a hit.
  22. I have no hate for ISU but they've been in that mode for much of the last 90 years.
  23. What was really fucked up is seeing that pic of Kristofferson and Jerry that was taken just a week or so ago and realizing that Kristofferson is only one year younger. Not sure how I didn't realize that.
  24. Why does it cost $300k to dig out a well? We have posters on this very board that are currently digging holes in the ground for free!
