  1. This is what I was thinking. If you’re back, who cares where you are in the draw. Go win. You might have to face the top seeded players earlier, but they’re going to come around sooner or later. Seems like there would be less pressure and no excuses if she were to flop. On the other hand, you bitch and whine. Now you better go out and show something otherwise you look like an idiot.
  2. My dad retired around 2 years ago. Earlier than he should have. He’s working part time, but they are blowing through their money. My old neighbor retired when he was 55. His father had died of a heart attack at 65 so this guy wanted to enjoy life with his wife. He ended up dying a couple years ago at 102. He enjoyed every day of retirement and his life.
  3. I called my grandmothers my their first names. I never knew any grandfathers.
  4. Seriously. That water is not your friend.
  5. I’m fascinated a group of women a thousand miles away from where this event was occurring make and wear these as if they were there. Did they dress up? I really am fascinated at the effort.
  6. People are funny. “The census is tracking me - fuck that. Alexa, buy more diapers.”
  7. I like the Ring theory. My parents are definitely on Nextdoor and they recently got a Ring system. My dad has it set up so it goes off when a car drives by. They live on a busy street. It’s so fucking annoying.
  8. All I hear is yanny. I don’t like the way it sounds either. Creeps me out.
  9. Because I have a golfcart? Used are cheap. Maybe if I said she hit my AMG Benz, but she hit my 12yr old Tahoe. And I live in Conroe. Humble brag is going on in the property tax thread and I’m not in there.
  10. It can’t be worse than suddenlink. Last fall my cable kept freezing. I did the normal reboot for s few days and that didn’t fix it. It was happening at the in-laws a couple blocks over as well. I call and the automated service said there is a known problem with your internet, is that why you’re calling? “No”. Ok then. Why are you calling? Cable. “Ok. Due to high call volume would you like to remain on the line or have someone call you back? To remain on the line press 1. To leave a number and have someone call you back press 2.” Hit 1 “goodbye” Called back. Same deal. Hit 2. “Goodbye” I was so pissed I must have done that 5 times thinking something would be different. Finally I went to the website and fired off a pissed off email. Got some bullshit reply 2 days later to call a number. I called and some girl answered. I explained the situation and the email. She had no clue what I was talking about. Looked at my account. Nothing. I told her “fine, I’ll just continue to be a very unhappy customer” her response “ok! Bye!”
  11. Wife just pulled the golf cart in the garage in front of my car (had to go around my car). Cut it too close and now I have a large new scratch on my left front bumper. “I thought if your front made it by you were good” Followed by “I’ll get it out with a magic eraser tomorrow” It’s not coming out with a magic eraser. It’s gouged in.
  12. Glad someone mentioned Edith’s. I haven’t been to Cabo in years but this is my favorite place to hit up.
  13. I would do this but it’s our back door. We had a talk and the next kid to slam a door is going to have a problem. They’re 6 and 4(x2) and still learning.
  14. One thing I have said to my wife a few times lately, her dad is always yelling at people for slamming doors (I think I probably slam doors). Lately, I feel like I’m doing the same thing with my kids. In and out all day Long this weekend. Slamming the fucking doors. Sunday In the kitchen I look at her “now I get why your dad is always bitching about people slamming the damn doors.” [sLAM] “SLAMMING THOSE DOORS!”
  15. When I was in 9th grade I had skipped class with another guy. I dropped him off at the front of the school and pulled around to the back parking lot. It had been raining and I found a wad of wet money in the parking lot right next to my car. I originally thought it was a couple fifties and threw it in the car. I was a different person back then. I used to drive my neighbor home and when we got in the car I told him to count it. He kept separating bills out. Ended up to be $750.
  16. This seems serious. I want one.
  17. I will do everything in my power to not become my parents. I heard this quote last year and I say it all the time in context with them (with my wife) “Don’t let them make us become them.” I wrote about “them” on the other site a few times. They do things that drive us nuts and it can cause us to get down on their level. I will not become my parents.
  18. I just watched a bunch of video that just made me pissed of all over again.
  19. Busy this weekend. Like Christmas this morning!
  20. I think there’s a leak as well. They’re going out of town next week so I’ll try the bucket test. The pool is about to be resurfaced and there’s a known problem with the light. Maybe those two things will be a fix. I don’t think my FIL realizes what he’s getting into.
  21. Mentioned earlier in-laws bought a house with a pool. How often are y’all adding water to your pools? Theirs is dropping a couple inches every couple days and they think it’s normal. I grew up with a pool and don’t remember adding water every other day even in the dead of summer. Maybe I’m just not remembering correctly.
  22. Taking my kids to visit my parents in Plano on Friday so this hits close to their home.
  23. I was home at lunch and the twins (4 yr old boy/girl) were having their lunch outside. Wife and I were talking inside. Son comes in to tell us something. ”I just wanted to let you know I needed to go potty and instead of coming in I went out in the yard” me: Ok, great. As far as I know this is the first time he’s done this. I had him go outside at his grandparents’ the other day while he was swimming so I guess he took a cue. Wife wasn’t really happy. I told her the dog does the same thing multiple times a day.
