I'm just a sporadic, dip-your-toes-in lurker/poster. My Saturday night randoms were an abomination and I deleted them, btw.

Never understood getting personal with the attacks. I'll curse at you, and call everyone one of you some sort of name, but taking shots at careers, family, etc. is a little too personal for me. I don't got it like that: takes the fun out of it.

That said, everyone on here can perish inside of a fire. Like burn to death.

I appreciate it, dude. Too bad I was fully faded on beer and gummies. Not a night I'm proud of to be sure. Add it to the list of many, I suppose.

I know you shouldn't make off with the Crave Case, at the very f***ing least.
Also 17 years ago 🤣

“You’re making a mistake - have you considered dental school? I hope you enjoyed your apprenticeship!”
My best friend's stepdad when I was early teens fancied himself an "amateur dentist" and Todd, my friend had a bad premolar that was giving him trouble.

No problem said stepdad, I'm not paying a dentist for something I can do (he was a welder by trade) and so he DID pull it.

Well, he pulled A tooth. It was just the wrong one. When the turmoil died down he realized he pulled the canine in FRONT of the pre-molar that was the problem.

Like so much in life; if you try to do something you'renot trained for (plumbing etc.) it will very often cost you more in the end. (in this case, a tooth extraction by a, you know, DENTIST, and then an implant to replace the healthy tooth that was pulled)

100 percent true story. (Todd said he didn't even sanitize the vice grips LOL)

I knocked my braces completely through my upper lip when I was skating an empty pool, came up short on the grab and face planted (ironically the owner of the house was a dentist) My father used needle nose pliers to free my lip, told me I was going to pay for any damage to the braces, and then poured merthiolate on my lip (I don't think any of you remember merthiolate, but it burned like the fires of hell, and left a bright pink stain on your skin) I had to walk around for a week with a big pink moustache and goatee, and a fat *** lip.

Watched my, very far from a doctor, Grandfather Lance and stitch my uncles infected boil.

Watched Great Grandfather cut off a cat's gangrene leg.

There's more weird **** from that side of the family. I'll just have to think about it. Not a surprise none of them lived very late in life.

Is this the Italian side? I mean, they sort of are known for disposing of body parts.

Really happy for my boy Anth’s success. I think he handles it pretty well. Went through residency with a guy who’s dad was one of the attendings. He definitely put extra pressure on himself to prove that he belonged there, so in return that pushed us to work harder, cause we weren’t about to take a back seat to nepotism…in the end, it all worked out.

Kind of wished the Schems were gangsters though…I’d call him Jackie jr all day.

I’ve missed you Gyero. Been working my noots off, get behind reading, then chasing a toddler around eats up what little time I have left. Little
Man doing great, an absolutely hoot, wouldn’t trade him for anything.

Also pumped for Nola. Hope Pti doesn’t get cold feet and back out.

Will see you at the WWH tailgate Huber. At least for a little bit, I hope.

Rum sounds good, tis the season.

One thing Willy doesn’t have to worry about. Paperwork for giving out a free tundra
We give it away every single year.

The sign has been hit once.

We made the entire section below the sign count during the last homestand another year.

Every other year we have donated it to somebody. Fire Departments, Police Departments, etc.

And I don’t do paperwork, *****.

- Are there any professions that would be better off with just an exam instead of apprenticeship? Or is this just another case of rampant myopic lawyerism in GYERO.

- I “learned to code” in 8th grade and still use it (at a Fischer-Price level) from time to time at work to fill in for the actual developers with simple Power BI stuff. Power BI is made for normal people to “code,” but nobody wants to hear it.

- Sure, great grandfathers may need to cut off a gangrenous cat leg from time to time, but why watch them do it? Serial killer stuff, man.

- The art project for my daughters’ room was a lot more fun when it was just a computer model. I’ve been priming, painting, and gluing its hundred of pieces for a month and a half at this point. Hard deadline this Friday.

- Personal project-wise, I’m working on a headboard/art wall piece for my daughter’s bedroom that is pretty intense. 12’x6’ of 6 layers of 1/8” MDF CNC into overlaying patterns of 30 different colors that all come together to become the It’s A Small World castle from Tokyo Disney. Integrated bookshelf, lighting, the works. Pieces are cut, now I just need to seal, sand, paint, assemble, and mount it. Easy-Peasy.

- On the plus side, my in-laws (nice people) have been in town for three weeks and are leaving next week, so a dedicated project space in the basement has been a nice little nightly getaway excuse for dad to rewatch/listen to some HBO series and have a few cocktails while painting.

- Michael Clayton is on NF right now, btw. Big rec.

-I had the little lass today, she didn’t go to school for obvious reasons. Went to Noble Park for a bike ride and the chain promptly broke on my bike. Quick trip to Bike World and 50.00 later we are off and running.

—Rode the Greenway Trail all the way to the river and back.

-had a wreck due to a low flying hawk that freaked her out which caused her to swerve into me. She hit the ground and I proceeded to roll down the steep bank. Luckily no blood so we were good.

-found a baby red-eared slider turtle along the way and wouldn’t you know it she and her mom have been looking for one just like that for 2 years. Carried that thing 3 miles back in one hand. 100.00 later and “Taco the Turtle” has some pretty sweet digs.

-finished off the day having a very hard conversation with a 9 yo about what happened the previous day but nothing that going through the DQ drive-thru couldn’t fix. Reese’s blizzard for her and a classic vanilla cone for granddad.

-best 160.00 I think I’ve ever spent

Speaking of NF, their earnings report was today. Hope you don’t hold many shares...took a 25% dump after hours after losing subscribers for the first time.

- Feel for the baby turtles mother. /softie
