  1. Meh, I actually think each generation comes away progressively smarter and the internet is doing wonders. Nothing's perfect and the brain is a funky thing full of millions of years of evolved nonsense tugging us every which way. Sadness is sadness regardless. I kind of appreciate a kid sharing honestly how he felt vs whining and bitching behind your back. It's kind of pansie-ass but it's also tough to be honest and share as well. This isn't to say they should understand and appreciate hard work. Someone else should read Eggers newest novel- The Circle- interesting stuff. I'm sore
  2. Man, I've been busy and out of touch lately, but baseball is having playoffs already? Seems like it just started. Gotta help the step-kid move today. She is actually 30 today and bought her first house. She is a nurse as well, but yeah she's also lazy. Her B/F is 42 and also a nurse but even more lazy. He's the epitome of the lazy kids today even if he should be from the prior generation. My wife has been going over every night helping them pack and clean and move small stuff. He was off Saturday and played video games with his kids all day. He's an enabler to the future brats
  3. Though I am from the generation responsible for the lazy brats, as a boss over them for many years, my credo to them was pretty much, "own your own business". Sales people will always whine and blame everything on anything but themselves. I pretty much kept the same track with my kids, substituting "life" for "work". Own it. Be responsible for it. You get out what you put in. Learn from your mistakes, etc. Then again, I was still only partly successful. I did get a nurse, but on the downside I also got a lawyer. Hey, you do the best you can.
  4. Goddam, can't see the print on this tiny bugger. Where was I, oh yeah estate sales. I love rifling through dead people's shit. They do it online now too, which isn't as fun but yesterday I picked up a cool wooden antique doll trunk. I'd post pictures if I could, I'm going to refurb it for the granddaughter, Man, long week. Totally burnt out. Gotta day off and a shitload of yard work. I wish I was one of them entitled brats. I envy their asses. But, really I thought it was a cute story about tilty making the worker sad. In the old days the kid would have slashed your tire
  5. It's kind of like the vanilla soy milk which is surprisingly good with with the crunchy Kashi stuff. It's like adding sweetener. Lovin the new job and I'm pretty much kill in' it, but I am hating these hours. I'm torn between the adulation I've been getting in the office, the pride of doing well, and the happiness in my wife's face at the checking account vs having no life. The hours have been pretty brutal. Apparently when they dole out the appointments they dish more of them to the people who are doing well. They have been giving me Sun and Mon off, and I pretty much need them
  6. iPhone beootches! Now I have to get a cool iPhone name but I probably won't. Almond milk is okay with granola cereal. I'm in a parking lot in bumfck playing with this thing trying to figure it out before I go sell another roof. Did you know these things can allow us to see each other while we are talkin? Crazy stuff. I'd hate that unless Andi was still around. Oh and golf sucks. There, said it.
  7. Not in Traverse City. We all should not go to the cherry festival there together. It's pretty cool. Chocolate cherry chunk ice cream is the best!
  8. This was all great but the best thing about it is got an iPhones thingy and I saw that facetimey thingy on it! I don't know what any of it is or how any of it works, or what it actually does, but I HAVE It!!
  9. Haha An ex g/f loved the dirty talk as 4play, kinkier the better. She liked to talk about lesbo sex and orgies which led to her inviting some chicks over for sexcapades occasionally. She got obsessive over it and would try to pick chicks up if we were out. The down side is looney broads like that are also possessive pychos that accuse you of cheating and eventually just make your life miserable with drama. And they get pissed when you fess-up that you wouldn't marry a whore.
  10. Little yellow Rookwood vase. Ignore the Owls, I haven't out how to throw that gift out yet. Goddam it. Can't drop or attach files or pics, I remember the old days when this was easy. Fckin iPad. Grrr Fck it I need some pie and coffee.
  11. Racist. I am a forgetful dumb ass idiot that can't sleep but I don't let it hinder my life. Long week, the hours have been pretty brutal and I probably drove a couple thousand miles. Got home at midnight last night after driving back from Lima. It's really not true that Santana and those singing kids actually go to school there. And it's a pretty scummy place that you guys can scratch off the vacation list. I have been all over rural farm country in backwoods Ohio. Nice folks. I've had to pray with them a few times to see if God wants them to have a new roof which is alway
  12. With beans it's always the little side comments that are awesome... "Driving around hunting deer" Haha
  13. Go over and make nice. Flirt. Try to hit it. Wink at her a lot. If none of that works just burn her cabin down.
  14. What? Strats in Kentucky? Job? Man I have an early day and it's so nice out i should run. The wife actually started walking outside which is weird, she a gym rat. But I think I'll go lay on the couch (remember that thread?) and see if there is a DIY show with some hottie on it.
  15. Reminds me of my first job. I pitched a tent in a local park and hung up a sign "Down with Bush--$10"
  16. In a way you're right. I say get even. My son's private high school had a cheer for when they were losing a football game to the public school.. That's alright, that's okay, you're gonna work for us someday" And really, with the talent around here and some inspiration from beans we could really **** them up financially, structurally, and personally. We just have to plan it out the next time we all meet up. Essay, you've been to one of our meet-ups right?
  17. Beans story made me laugh. Appt yesterday was with 4 middle aged to elderly peeps on a roof. They inherited the house and a couple of them live there. My new thing I think to myself before I go in is from Eddie Murphy...."It's SHOWTIME!" I pretty much had them in tears laughing from the get go. I can be quite charming in person, just not online. I had them telling me stories about how all these shady contractors they know had ripped people off. Most of the DIY shows are way too common. Has anyone seen Adam Corolla's new show where he hunts them down? Great stuff. So,
  18. Instill need to know what phone to get. Galaxy or I-phone? After a lull over the weekend I had a pretty busy week. Somewhere in Piqua Ohio a guy is going to sober up, see some CD full of digital documents, wonder what it is and why he was listening to it, and have a vague recollection of buying a patio door and a new front door for only $8000! Let's hope it's after 3 days that he decides to cancel it, or even better, be adamant that he made a smart decision. My diet has gone to shit and I have no time to run. I have to do something about packing lunch and re-arranging my s
  19. Beans, if you're around sorry to hear about Malcolm. For those wondering AC DC is hanging it up due to his recent stroke. Good run of over 40 years and their rock will never die.
  20. Best.idea.ever. Weird thing about this job is not knowing what is planned from day to day. Some days I leave at 8am drive 400 miles and don't get home till midnight. Today I had 2 apps, they email me them at 7:30 and I have to be ready to roll by 8, only to find out my first appt is at 2:00 (windows) a couple miles away. The 2nd was at 6 but they canceled probably due to the snow. Yep, ****ing snow. What's also funny is that I have figured out some shortcuts. I zestimate the home which tells me when they bought it, for how much, the approximate payment, etc. then I google ma
  21. I seriously would have hugged him and had him sign my body.
  22. The biggest problem is the stink, but really only wear my luna sandals in the summer with no socks and it's no problem. Once in a while on a long run if I have a blister coming or something I'll wear toe socks with them Andy haven't had an issue other than they tend to slide around if you don't land right. I have a pair of minimalist running shoes for the winter which I wear socks with and sweating isn't a problem in the cold. I also wear my leather 5 fingers on any technical and most trail runs because of the fit and grip. Under the front toes is kind of bolstered and dings the b
  23. I had kids do something similar while I was driving home in an ice storm. They laid down in the road and didn't realize I couldn't stop. Luckily they ran at the last second. So naturally I got out of my car and yelled police, FREEZE!! I lined them up against my car and berated them. Took their names and numbers, then told them to get home and explain to their parents what they did and that I would be by to talk to them in the next hour... Glad to see you hook a girl up!
  24. The problem I see is wearing socks in the first place. Yeah, I wear them in the winter, usually toe socks, occasionally my left/right socks, and other times just plain old white socks. It depends on where, the terrain, and the mood.
