I gave you a chance, but you suck, Shreddies. Yes, even the honey kind.

Tubby's in Ocean City was the best, but they closed up shop a couple years ago, sadly. There's a local pizza place around my way called Nick's that has some nice greasy subs too. I like some of Ledo Pizza's subs too.

Penn Station is the best place for subs.

In other news, teaching old people how to use computers is one of the most frustrating things in the world. A woman tried to argue with me because she thought that opening an attachment meant that she had remote access to every file on her computer.

Re: Off Topic 2013

My brother and I have given up trying to teach our mom how to use the computer. She knows how to get to the internet and email and importing pictures onto the computer. Her big hangup is learning Facebook every time it changes and uploading pictures to Facebook.

Now she wants one of us to show her how to use Shutterfly. Yikes.

You can tell your mom that I concur that Facebook is jacked up. They change it just for the sake of change and I think it's a cluster**** now.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Man I've having one of the worst days in a long time.

Here's some back story first:
I have a pug named Butters and a couple of weeks ago his nose started bleeding. I thought at first that maybe one of our other dogs scratched him or he got into a rose bush or something so I didn't think too much of it. I saw it bleeding again the next day and took him to our vet. He checked out his nose and said that he has an infected nostril, gave him some meds and told me that if the bleeding doesn't stop in a week or two to bring him back.

The bleeding wasn't as bad, but was still off and on for the next two weeks. My wife and I figured it was just allergies. When I checked on him this morning it looked like a blood bomb went off in his kennel. I called the vet and that said to bring him in and they would sedate him and check him out better. I got a call an hour ago and the vet tells me that he has a tumor in his mouth and there's nothing he can do.

Luckily, I was still home for lunch when I got the call because I'm not ashamed to say that once I got off the phone shed a few tears. I did ask him if Butters was in pain and he said no and that I can bring him home and say my goodbyes and stuff. However, if he's not in pain then I don't know if I want to put him down anytime soon.

My wife called another vet and I'm bringing him there for a second opinion tomorrow. I've heard that my vet doesn't really look for alternatives and his first solution is to put them to sleep and this other vet is more progressive. I don't know. Do any of you know of any dogs that have recovered from a tumor in their mouth? I really don't think there is anything they can do, but if he's not in pain, then is it selfish of me to not let him get put to sleep?

Re: Off Topic 2013

I don't have any answers to your questions, but I feel for you. I hope like heck they can help Butters out.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Subs and no mention of WaWa? For shame, people.

Can't mention something I've never heard of

I gave you a chance, but you suck, Shreddies. Yes, even the honey kind.

What are Shreddies? Some sort o cereal?

I just assumed that's what Canada was talking about.

I'm thinking some kind of cereal. Shredded wheat was the first thing that came to mind.

Re: Off Topic 2013

This made for an awkward Sunday:

Spoilered for length:

Spoiler

So Saturday I finish mowing the lawn. I'm ready to sit back and relax w/ a beer and watch the U.S. Open. Wife gets home with son and they both end up laying down for a nap.

About 30 minutes after they lay down, I see someone walking on my porch. This person opens the glass door to my house and picks their head in and just stares at me for a second. I'm like "Who the hell is this black lady?"

Turns out being the adopted 12-year-old autistic son of the pastor @ my wife's church. He just walks right in, walks to the back bedroom where my wife is sleeping, half naked. For some reason, he runs back there and just starts stroking her hair. Then, he goes into the nursery and starts stroking my son's head. Meanwhile, his 12 year-old sister is asking me when Tyson will wake so she can play with him.

I couldn't get him out to save my life. If he would've made it to my man cave, I wouldn't have been able to get him out. He went through my fridge, took my Coke I just bought, and would not leave. Finally my wife cons him outside where his father and sister are waiting in the car.

15 minutes later, he's back. He has ran away from home, and I mean ran. He's a chubby little kid and he's huffing and puffing from the run. He barges in like he lives there this time. He then proceeds to sit in my recliner and watch golf while my wife and I were trying to make sense of wtf just happened the first time.

His mother had to come get him this time.

Lesson of the day, we keep our front door shut and locked at all times now.

I go to church Sunday for father's day and the pastor just has an uneasiness about him! Trying to act like his children didn't commit not one but 2 breaking and entering crimes!

I, I'm confused too. I don't know whether to laugh or just be mum. I'll think i'll be quiet for now and hopefully the kid doesn't try to break into your house literally now by bashing a window or something.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I think he has also been letting my dog off of her leash.

We were confused also! Didn't know whether to laugh or what. WTF worked best.
