....seriously?

We have a Fred too, and yeah, Fred is precisely why I resigned from our board. Volunteers don't need that level of abuse.

I’m not even upset about that.  My wife on the other hand….  It’s just a letter.  In the decade and a half we’ve been here I think we’ve gotten 3.   All stupid bull [BLEEP] that has already been taken care of prior to the letter.  

I did hear a story from another hood, that has the same management company as mine, someone got a letter on the lawn not being cut.  The owner came back with something about “it’s natural” or a “natural look”. Apparently they let him off the hook.  Idk how or why though since I’m sure the bylaws or whatever specifically state to keep a maintained lawn. Either way, I found it funny.  Mainly because they don’t live next door to me.

We're in a flood plain, so a lot of people have "rain gardens" which is usually just overgrowth of ferns and invasives....I can't get grass to grow, despite my best efforts.

Taco Tuesday?  Not in my house!!!  The wife apparently needs a calendar for Christmas.  1. I’m not sure the last time we’ve had tacos on a freaking Tuesday.  2. Why do we only have sour cream once every 3 times times we have Tacos???? 


And somehow, I’m a bad guy for asking.  Good luck tonight brothers.  I know one guy that’s not getting any tonight.

if you want tacos, make tacos. oh, and be sure to hit the mini mart on the way home and grab a tub of sour cream.

I'm a doer. It might be 7pm before tacos are ready, but we'll have tacos, all right.

Because it's one of those things you buy, use a bit, leave it in the fridge until it goes bad - which is exactly the time you think about having Tex-Mex again and realize you didn't buy sour cream as you thought the one in the fridge would be OK.

I am a big fan of "once you open [thing] add it to the grocery list."

Nothing worse than needing something and discovering you're out, and nobody made this fact known. Same goes for pantry - we have cans of soup, boxes of baggies, etc. If you take something from there, put it on the list right then, no need to have to stand in front of shelves guessing what's missing when making your shopping list.

But of course, this is never taken as someone offering helpful suggestions, @I'm ornery old fart who doesn't really know how shopping for groceries works@

I’m a “doer” too!  But I think we’re trying to do two different things.  And yes, if you open something, you definitely need another on deck.  You may even need a pinch hitter or runner.  Screw double redundancy.  I’ll take triple redundancy when it come to eating.  I was either too keen or stupid to buy my family a 4 month’s supply of food that’ll last 25 years.  I’m not sure if I am ready for it, or hoping for it.

I’ll eat a freaking peanut and call it dinner if I had to.  But family happens.  I secretly hope the tropical storms knock the power out.  Matthew and Irma was AWESOME!!!!   Camping at home!!! Glamming more like it!

I've never posted in this topic. It seemed 'annoying' to me. But here goes.

It's trivially annoying when the girl stops right in the middle of hot sex because she remembers she's got to go call her boyfriend back, and then spends the next 30 minutes on the toilet because she has a colon-clearing case of explosive diarrhea from a dinner you spent $150 for.

There. Did I do that right?

no, $150 is hardly trivial.

She never did call me back.

It was the colon cleansing that caused her to forget.

You’re a bit subtle, yet brutal(at the same time) and I like it.  Perhaps it’s not her fault.  Maybe he should meet girls on sites other than tinder.  Idk, but from what I’ve read, Tinder is the major leaguers hook up site.  Maybe eHarmony would be better?

Is POF still around?

Some pretty wild adventures, good, bad and great lol

Is POF the “t-ball” site?  Do I need to report you? Never heard of it.  I used to just approach woman and interact with them.  They’d see my charm, charisma, handsomely good looks (despite what Rico says) and they’d be ready (or starting) before we got back to my house.  And… I’m not talking about the easy girls.   I’m talking the big city slams.  Easily a 4or5 out of a 10!

This actually happened to me in college in 1978, before I was married. Except i didnt spend $150, it was more like $40, which was a small fortune then. I got her back tho, ended up sleeping with her roommate a couple of times. 70's version of revenge porn, i suppose.

The battery in my truck died Friday evening. What is noteworthy is it died suddenly. It went from a strong cranking battery to one that wouldn't even power the brake light relay in a matter of less than a minute. I've never had a battery go like that. Luckily it gave up the ghost after I parked in my driveway. It was still under warranty and cost nothing to replace, however, when talking to the manager at the Autozone, he told me that is how they fail now. I don't know if he's correct, but if so, that's a little unsettling. Had it happened a few minutes before, I would have been stranded a couple miles from home.

Unfortunately, because you were pulled out of the first game early, we can't officially credit you with a doubleheader.  Well done for scoring with the roommate though.  More points are awarded for a roommate than a cousin, but still less than best friend.  Mother/daughter remains the ultimate conquest, but that's best left for those of us with expertise in such matters.
