Best wishes Dusty. Wishing your mom a speedy recovery.

Glad to hear everything is going well with your dad Boomy

LOL Well. It was an extra ultrasound and now it turns out there will be another one because he's measuring large (I guess my 6'5" genetics got passed along).

I inherited my godmothers ring and when I was going to propose to Meaghan I found out the rock was not a diamond so i bought a real rock. That said it worked fine for her for 50+ years of happy marriage. Edit: Nice choice on the ring

I try tread lightly as it is but sometimes my OCD gets the best of me. It's why I'm good at my job but sometimes it bites me in the ass rather hard. Oh well. No big deal in the grand scheme of things and the day is improving

Woke up and got dressed Could not find my wedding ring Missed an ultrasound appointment with my wife while looking for said ring Found the ring in a pocket of pants hanging in the closet that I had checked no less than 4 times before Got told by my wife how dissapointed she was that I prioratized the search over our child FML some days.....

Having to open a claim should not have been required.... I'm glad things worked out for crappy (well sort of as it did cost $50)

Happy birthday!

Al and Marc, I appreciate the toast(s) That really thoughtful of you.

Sounds like a good night. I have a bottle of that rum. My family actually knows the people who "make" it. It's actually custom mixed for them at the Foursquare Rum Factory I believe.

So noted. I'm not big on slagging anyone based on rumor and innuendo so you feel free to continue and I will feel free to counterpoint you.

I'm not defending him. I think he's a piece of shit personally but that said I think "journalism" like that is just as bad or worse. I was interested in the story if it had been true (and may still be) and wanted a source.

Yeah it's NOT a good source. Soros is no angel but that's a story that's being deliberately sold as bull shit (until proven). Every single reference to it frames it as a question and then states right at the very end that sources state he wasn't involved but not before talking about how much money he made etc..... fucking BS "push" "journalism" at it's best. Also oddly all sources lie outside the "lamestream" media.

^ source? I tried to find one and was unsuccessful.

^agreed. it was a depressing morning ritual of catching up on the news on my phone before getting out of bed....

Another squeezebox radio for the nursery with remote etc.

Cheap iMac for the academic types around: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/08/discount-education-only-imac-appears-makes-you-wish-youd-opene/

Go smoothly? Edit: this was about the dryer install.

^ let me know how it goes as I am going to be going through the same process (barring the f'ing mortgage company doing something stupid) in a few weeks. I rode my bike for 4.5 hours and had a great time just riding solo even set a personal best for average speed and power for that time. Now I can eat whatever I want as I've burned 3000+ calories for the day.

Personally I f'ing hate the fact that I have to invest in the market and have no choice in the matter. I'd much prefer a bloody savings account but the way the tax code is setup I can invest and lose 30+% and still end up better off than I stated and that's without my works match (which isn't great)..... The whole market is like gambling down to the fact the house always wins.

Glad you found something she likes. I got my wife hers just before I graduated from grad school so it isn't too big but she loves it which is all that matters )

Congrats on the rocks. That's a lot of rock )

Congrats!

^ that's really crappy man
