  1. Circling back to USPS bullshit: I bought something on ebay a couple of weeks ago. It was shipped from CT and was on it's way to my house in the OKC burbs. After a couple of days, the tracking showed that the box was in Ft Worth. Great, I thought, it'll be here in 2 days, tops. WRONG. It went from FTW to OKC, then back to FTW for a couple of days. Then back to OKC and then to my town! Yay, I said, delivery tomorrow for sure! NOPE. It left my town and went to some other podunk town, 50+ miles away. WTF?? Then back to OKC for a day or so, then to my town, then delivered. I called the PO the day before it was delivered to complain, had to wait on hold for 35 mins for them to pick up. She said "I guess it's making a loop" and while she was pleasant, she offered no help or insight into solving my issue. 

    And the box showed up looking like it had been kicked down the road the whole way from Connecticut, instead of shipped on a truck.

    But many states have or have had laws prohibiting direct sales from manufacture.

    My friend found this out the hard way. We're in Oklahoma and he bought a Tesla. They told him it would be ready on such and such date. He assumed he would pick it up at the local showroom. Whoops, direct sales aren't allowed here, so he had to drive from OKC to Kansas City to get it.

    Go watch The Northman. You might not like it but you won't be bored

    I have seen this but had no idea who made it. I thought the ending sucked, but overall it was ok I guess.

    Took my dog to the vet, and the female vet tech tries to take my dog's temperature the way one does with a dog.  My dog was not having it, and starts whining and shimmying forward to avoid the intrusion.  Trying to calm him down, I soothingly say "It's OK buddy, that would agitate me, too."  Except that is not what actually came out of my mouth.  What I actually said was "It's OK buddy, that would excite me too."

    I did not speak another word to the vet tech during that visit. 

    I was in Jr High and went with my dad when he took our dog to the vet. She got her shots and had a stool sample taken, nothing out of the ordinary. But we went back in the waiting room and my little beagle took a massive shit on the floor, I guess the sample collection got the mail moving, so to speak. Then, as I'm sitting there in horror, the super hot vet tech came over and cleaned it up. And she wasn't fazed at all, she was super friendly. I wanted to dig a hole to China and jump right inside.

  5. Both of my grandkids were hanging with us tonight. The boy will be 2 in a couple of months and he was absolutely feral tonight. Running around, touching shit he's not supposed to touch, just having the time of his life. Meanwhile, I sounded exactly like my dad did back in the day. "Boy, get over here!". They left at 8pm, I felt like it was almost midnight, so exhausted. We had fun, though!

    You're a Dr. Who fan, aren't you?

    Fuck no. I remember seeing part of an episode when I was a kid, I couldn't believe people watched that low budget looking shit.

    I have a ruptured disk that intermittently does this to me.  Sometimes it's like your case, temporary and low duration, and sometimes it lasts a week or more.  Sucks, but nothing I can do about it.

    Yeah, I have had 2 bad discs for over 25 years. It just got the jump on me today, dirty bastards.

  8. I always liked the idea that Bond wasn't a real guy, but a job title. You would have a Bond retire or die and someone would get promoted. Skyfall fucked that all up. It's a mess. Haven't watched the last few.

    do you think the Thunder or the program's run of mediocrity is the biggest contributor to the current state of GIA?

    As an OSU fan who lives in the OKC burbs, I'm not driving all the way to Stilly on a weeknight to watch the shit they've been running out there for years. I wouldn't even make it in time for tip off, anyway. But to make it even, I quit watching on TV, too.

  10. I stood up from my desk and my back gave out. Had a shooting pain that went all the way down into my ass cheek. I cried out like a bitch, luckily no one heard me. I staggered to where I needed to go without too much trouble. 

    20 mins later, had to get up again. I got up with no problems. WTF?

  11. Got diagnosed with shingles one week ago. I just finished all of the medication, and the sores are doing well. However, I am in such pain. My skin is so sensitive, the nerves are all fucked up. I've read everything I can find, things seem normal, I guess. But I'm so tired of this. My stomach isn't great most times but now it feels all fucked up. I don't know if its from the meds or the shingles or something else. I stopped taking my omeprezole when I started the shingles meds, just because I wasn't sure how they'd interact. Maybe that's why my gut is fucked up? I hope that's all it is.

    Then to top things off, my cologuard test results came back and I need to have the colonoscopy anyway. I'm just not in a good place. My wife is my rock and is doing her best but I know I am difficult in these situations. I've caught myself having mini breakdowns all day. I'm supposed to go to work tomorrow and I don't know if I can do it, physically. I want off this fucking ride.

    Question my manhood etc but I’ll be the dude that still has his passport and reading glasses.

    Every time I go to London, I break out the fanny pack. Sunglasses, readers, mints, dude wipes, wallet. I'm ready for anything. No one bats an eye, it's so commonplace over there. Now, as a giant-sized man, no one here in the US would say anything to my face but I'd just feel weird using one here. I see them more and more, maybe one day I'll get over it.

  13. A long time ago, I read a comment online somewhere that stated she had a huge ass. As a fan of huge asses, I went hunting for a picture and it seems that there are none available online. I feel like Ahab, always searching for that white whale, no pun intended.

     

    EDIT: I went fishing and found some proof. I guess it's true.

  14. Woke up Saturday and after getting dressed, I felt like I had a burr in my shirt or something. Nothing there but the skin under my arm felt irritated. Fast forward to today, Yeah, I have shingles. Fuck.

    To add insult to injury, I got a weird call today, supposedly from my credit union, that my card had been compromised. Something felt off, so I hung up and called my CU and they said nothing was up on their end and that they didn't call me. Now I have to go get a new debit card. FUCK.

  15. Early in our marriage, my wife gently chided me about how I wasn't very good at loading the dishwasher and that she could do it better. I said I would just leave that task to her from now on. I do the laundry, she does the dishes. Works for me.

  16. My granddaughter turns 1 next month, my grandson turns 2 in April. I thought I was done buying diapers but every time I go to Sams, there's a case of them in my cart. I guess that's what I get for asking my kids if they need anything from the store.
