She was my favorite facebook friend. Lots of “here’s me and my 20-something friends out on a boat in our bikinis.” But now even she is old and has a kid. #PGP
I have properties, but I also have a combined $650k or so of mortgages on said properties, which are worth, maybe $650k. On a good day. But some day… (shakes fist)
Amateurs. After over a decade of living on my/our own, my wife decided that even though our house was Spongebob levels of underwater, she couldn’t do the commute anymore and we Have To Move. The only way to do this with about $1.38 in savings is rent the house out, move in with her parents (toddler daughter in tow) and save up to buy another house. That was the longest year of my life. But now I “own” “properties” so I got that going for me, which is nice.
One of our directors is a BYU grad, with all that entails. Every year we get another clean-cut young man from BYU, hard working, going to be successful, and I do a double take when he says “yeah, my wife and I…” Then I know I can completely ignore his presence.
Nothing will ever hold a candle to Brittni (yeah, slut up Brittney with an “i”) from 2009. Nothing.
Working from home on the reg = do what you need to do to be productive.
Working from home randomly on a Friday = I’m not doing shit anyways, and you can add showering to that list until I get ready to go out later.
The problem with TJ’s is that it isn’t a “real” grocery store, in that I don’t just need food, I need Ziploc baggies and paper towels and maybe some soap or detergent or toothpaste or whatever too, and I don’t want to make two stops. TJs doesn’t (or didn’t last time I was there) carry all that other stuff, so now I need to go to a regular store too, and that sucks.
Here in Chicagoland we have the best of both worlds: Mariano’s, which has plenty of yoga-pants-clad talent, fancy(ish) food, and a goddamn guy playing a friggin’ piano, which is awesome, BUT, it’s nowhere near as pretentious and wallet-raping as Whole Foods. Huge craft beer selection, but no one gives me the stinkeye for my suitcase of (throwback) Miller Lite cans. It is the Coexist sticker of grocery stores.
Was at a club for a friend of a friend’s bachelor party. Came out of the booth just as the bachelor did, wallet in hand, headed for the ATM, girl in tow. He mumbled something to me about money, starting with a 5. Thinking he said he needed $50 I reached for my wallet; girl says “he needs $500 for VIP” so I could, with a clear conscious say, “hahaha fuck off.”
Is it worse? I don’t know. Maybe. What I know is that rarely ever does a man show up and just start beating a person for no reason. In no way is there ever a justification for a man to strike a woman, but before that happened, was there an argument? Were insults hurled by both sides? Was there potential unfaithfulness? Was Hardy, et. al, entirely unprovoked, or were they goaded and taunted and dared by women? Terrible if they took the bait, but I’ve never seen a fight that started out 100% unprovoked. The physical violence is 100% wrong ( I can’t say that enough for the SJW crowd), but leading up to that, what happened?
Compare to a dog. When has a dog ever picked a fight? Talked back? Done anything at all to encourage a beating? It’s a mostly helpless, defenseless, innocent creature. And Vick didn’t kill one, he killed dozens, over and over, in horrific ways. That’s a specific kind of f***ed in the head.
I’m not going to say that beating a woman is better than beating a dog. But I will say that Vick is a worse person than Hardy, mostly due to the extended pattern of his behavior.
Exactly. I find domestic violence absolutely disgusting and it’s never okay to hit a woman, but there can be two sides to a fight. Killing dogs? There’s only one side, and Vick is a humongous piece of human garbage.
No one in NOLA would know what a “smart phone” or “breathalyzer” is, or how to use it. Disclaimer: my dad, who doesn’t have a use for a smart phone is, is from NOLA.
Unless you’re curing cancer in little kids or rescuing puppy dogs, you leaving for more money is their problem, not yours. They’d let you go to save a buck, so screw ’em.
I am out of shape, pretty fat, and not that attractive, BUT I have a full, lush, thick head of hair at 33. About the only physical trait I have going for me.
All I require on my birthday is to choose the meals (that I’ll be paying for) and a free pass on whatever overpriced golf club I decide to buy myself that day.
Love Fridays. Get myself a Panera breakfast sandwich, knock out a ton of work from 8-11ish, do a long lunch + beers with the work bros until about 1, and head back to the office long enough to be seen in the afternoon, bail by three. Best day of the week. Unwritten rule, no meetings, get your shit done and leave. It’s beautiful.

Had a glass of Woodford Saturday night. Went to my old standbye Buffalo Trace for round 2, wasn’t feeling Woodford.

I enjoy the juxtaposition of high class and freeloading displayed here by referring to shower stuff you are swiping from the gym as “accouterments”.

Uh…what’s nasty about using a bar of soap? I’m, uh, asking for a friend.

Independence Day should be number 1. Because America, beer, boats, bikinis, BBQ, and a distinct lack of cold weather and having to buy people shit.
