I don't understand why people get paid to make movies like this?
Armless (2010) - IMDb Seriously? A comedy about a guy who wants to cut off his arms? Oh, and if you want you can watch it instantly on Netflix.

So Friday night the wife and I went XMas shopping. I ended up in line at TrU with a set of Lego's, a nerf football, and a Star Wars lightsaber... all for my 7 year old daughter.

You're pretty cool, but your daughter has officially become cooler than you are.

Football has become her favorite sport. Poor kid - she's only about 50 pounds and would end up broken in 165 pieces if she actually tried playing. I got her the nerf so we can play outside. We play football in the house with those soft/squeezable footballs all the time. I justify the ball-throwing in the house to my wife by explaining that it's doing wonders for her eye-hand coordination in softball and basketball.
The sword fighting? I don't have an easy explanation for.

Yeah, I wasn't going to buy that simply because I don't feel like having my knuckles smacked repeatedly over the next few months, but...

If you ever want to get the credit card fraud department shutting down your card, a really good way to do it is to go abroad, spend a good bit of money, then try to make a large purchase on the day you return.
*facepalm* All sorted out, but I should've thought about it before I went to the store.. /tk

Venting time. I'm on the verge of ending a professional relationship, but, don't want it to affect the friendship that is involved. Even though it was a professional relationship to begin with that evolved into that person becoming a friend, I am at my wits end with him and this project of his that I'm working on with him.
While I understand that this project is his 'baby', he keeps blaming the technology for his woes. No matter how many times I try to tell him or get him to understand that when you are dealing with software, it is never going to work 100% they way you THINK it should work. He also paints himself into a corner and commits to submission deadlines before having any of the issues resolved or at the very least, a solution worked out. He's also switched software apps in the middle of the project 2 times. Not because they don't work, but, because they don't work the way he thinks they should work. Which is what I don't get. He's not stupid and he reads up on the software and manuals and reaches out for help when he runs into an issue. Anyway, it's gotten to the point where he is just too 'bi-polar' (I don't know how else to describe it) and I just don't want to work with him anymore, not only on this project, but, any future projects. However, I feel obligated to see this project to the end. Anyway, just ranting/venting. Just tired of being stressed out over something that shouldn't be this stressful in my opinion.

Apparently Stevie Wonder isnt blind. He had an operation 15 years ago that cured him, but he's keeping it quiet for the sake of his "blind gimmick".

We had chili the other night. As we were finishing, I grabbed the shredded cheese bag to close it up. Unbeknownst to me, it had laid up against the chili and there was some on the back side of the bag. So when I went to close it, I got chili all over my white t-shirt.
So quickly, I grabbed my napkin, dipped it in my water, and started wiping the chili away. That's when I realized that the blue and green patterns on the napkin were bleeding through onto my shirt. Now I've got a big fucking mess, right? So I did what any desperate person would do - I improvised. I saw the sour cream, figured it would work well as white-out, and put some on my shirt. My kids thought it was hilarious. My wife was not quite as enthusiastic about it. I thought it was pretty damn ingenious, if I do say so myself.

We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards. Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse? Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat. Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas! Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death. Classic scene SI

No, I can't say I have. Cottage cheese, sure, but not sour cream. That sounds gross.

Went to the grocery store last night and noticed they had whole pork loin on sale for something crazy cheap, like 1.29/lb. Not a professional butcher, but I know what cuts of meat look like. Managed to cut 2 really nice sized roasts, a rack of baby back ribs, some rib chops and some crazy thick porterhouse chops. So, unless someone converts to judiasm in the next week or so, we will have some yummy pork based meals.

I got married about three weeks ago in a very private ceremony - just me, my wife, the minister and two witnesses. The witnesses were a couple that the minister married about 8 years ago and were still very much in love. They were really nice people and said that participating in our ceremony felt like a renewal of their vows.
Fast forward to yesterday. We got a call that the husband collapsed at work and died before he reached the hospital. The doctors aren't sure of the cause but it was most likely a massive heart attack. When his wife got to the hospital the news was so traumatic that she passed out and kept passing out everytime she came to. The shock to her system was so bad that she herself had a heart attack and ended up in the ICU. She is in stable condition now but came very close to death. This entire ordeal is so incredibly sad and tragic. I am not sure how someone recovers from this type of loss. If you can just keep both of these souls in your thought and prayers it would be appreciated. |

Words cannot express how much I hate my sister-in-law. She's a controlling bitch who's has threatened to hit my brother repeatedly in front of us. She's a terrible parent. And frankly I wish she would just go away.
Unfortunately I can't post this anywhere but here, since I'm "friends" with the psycho on FB so that I can see pictures of my nephew. I don't think there's anyone I've disliked/hated more than her. /tk

Also, the kid is 4 and has a cold. So they're giving him a lot of juice which seems reasonable. But they're also giving him multiple packets at a time of adult Emergen-C. I'm no doctor but I'm pretty sure that once you've hit the max Vitamin C per day, your body will just start excreting it. Given that the Juicy Juice box of apple juice they gave him has 100% RDA of Vitamin C, I can't imagine that they're doing him any good with the "extra" vitamin C, I also wonder if there is any danger of giving him multiple "100% RDA" doses of adult vitamins.
Cripes I hate her. /tk

I'm not a doctor nor a parent, but I was under the impression that giving a child anything labeled for adults, especially medication, vitamins, etc., is a big no-no.
