Hopstretch Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 My wife and kids ditched me to go to the mall, so I'm forced to sit by the pool drinking beer and catching rays. They will pay for this indignity!
Salt Peanuts Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 Took out/dug out couple of ugly shrubs and other plant life in front of the house - planning on cleaning up the area bit more then planting some hydrangeas. The master plan is to convert most of the front lawn into flower and vegetable gardens.
guzziguy Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 Aren't you supposed to be playing with a pressure washer? Or is that already done?
Fitz Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 Woke up around 3PM, feel like I've been hit by a truck.
tyrion Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 I've been up 12 hours already. Sounds like you had a better time last night, than I did.
Hopstretch Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 I've been up 12 hours already. Sounds like you had a better time last night, than I did. Odd thing happened to me last night at 3 a.m., too. Son: (Mysteriously standing by my side of the bed in our room. Our kids don't get up at night and have never, ever come into our room while we're asleep.) "Hey, Dad!" Me: "Huh? Wha tha fu...? I mean, what's going on, buddy? Is everything OK?" S: "You don't love me." M: "Huh? Wha the fu...? I mean, WHAT?" S: "You think I'm a fussbudget." M: "A what?" (Still in the waking-up-trying-to-process phase here.) S: "A fussbudget! You do!" M: "Who even says that word? Are you even awake?" S: "I don't like the mean butterflies!" M: "Ohhhkay. Back to bed, buddy. And I do love you, more than anything." S: "Alright." (Goes back to bed.) Zero recollection of any of it this morning, of course. And, seriously, who uses the word "fussbudget"? I know for damn sure I never have.
tyrion Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 it's the fluoride in the water. it's why i only drink rain water and pure grain alcohol. Stretch, listen to Reks, I think he is on to something.
Sherwood Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 Reks, your bodily fluids are anything but "precious".
Sherwood Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 Someone had to tell you, and I knew your mother wouldn't. The commies surely want your shovel, though, so stay vigilant.
Hopstretch Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 i'm glad you're posting again, Sherwood. Seconded by the anarcho-syndicalist faction. Not that we observe bourgeois rules of order, other than for linguistic convenience.
Sherwood Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 don't blush too much, the commies might want to harvest that particular color of red.
Sherwood Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 Seconded by the anarcho-syndicalist faction Any anarchists with Ron Mueck avatars are okay in my book. Actually, any anarchists at all.

Jeepster Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Deepak and Mike, your skin is pretty thin. I guess you guys can dish it out but you cant take it.
n_maher Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Not today but had a great weekend. Took Friday off, spent the day at home with the wife and Lily and Grandma came down to make homemade strawberry freezer jam. We had leftover strawberries so I made some strawberry syrup (this stuff rocks on pancakes and waffles). Relaxed with Lily in her pool during the afternoon. Saturday we dropped Lily off at her other grandparents' house so that we could celebrate our wedding anniversary. Started the evening off with drinks and appetizers at a little tapas restaurant in Portsmouth that we had a gift certificate to and discovered that they make a mean mojito. Then made our way over to our favorite fish place (Jumpin' Jays Fish Cafe) and had a great meal coupled with my first Hendricks and tonic, yum. Finished the night off with a walk through downtown Portsmouth to see a friend that works at another eating establishment. Made it home just before it started to rain which cooled things down nicely. Sunday I woke up before my wife and made breakfast (waffles, sausage, coffee) and we had a relaxing morning sitting around doing nothing. Topped it all off with a trip into Boston for this... Got to see an outstanding game on one of the summer's few beautiful days. It'll probably be a long time before I get to have another weekend like that.
tyrion Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Happy Anniversary! That looks like it was a great weekend.
Hopstretch Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Nice one, Nate! It is so great to see some summer.
The Monkey Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 I spent most of today (1) telling people how to do their fucking jobs; (2) marveling at how many marketers are as stupid as the day is long; and (3) thanking 1 & 2 for job security.
The Monkey Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Dont you jackoffs enjoy treating people like shit? Someone piss in your tea, little man?
guzziguy Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 What's up? Did your mom and dad ground you?
boomana Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Can we ban this shithead yet? With pleasure. Nate, happy anniversary! Glad you had a nice weekend.
