  1. Jesus. That is shitty on so many levels.
  2. Two gift cards to Chilis Chicago Bears t shrit Black sweater Star Wars t shirt Bears customized hoodie with my last name and the number 82 for the year I was born (me and my two brothers in law each got one for our respecive teams) Regal cinema gift card Men's facial kit with shave gel and face wash Finn Balor "Balor Club" t shirt
  3. The wife and I got a call from our five year old's Kindergarten teacher, telling us that the school psychologist wants to do some testing with her. She's always been very shy (when she's not at home) and reserved. But, she's gotten into this rut where she either can't or just won't tell people what she wants (again, not at home). She'll just tell her teacher that she needs to do something, and when she asks what, Cady will answer "I don't know." and an hour later she has an accident because Cady wouldn't just tell her she had to go potty. We're still discussing it. Right now she gets speech therapy three times a week to try to get her out of her shell. The wife wants to keep that up, and just let her progress at her own level. I don't think there's anything wrong with the actual testing being done. If they come back and say that she seems to exhibit some form of Autism and want her sent to another school or anything, as her parents we can tell them no, we want her kept where she is. We just don't want her to be stuck with a label.
  4. "later we'll have some poontang pie, and we'll do some caroling!"
  5. My four year old came down with a 103 degree fever tonight. Every Christmas since 2010 (my older one's first Christmas) one of both of the girls gets sick. The doctor ran some cultures and it's just a viral infection that will probably pass in a day or two. So, we just have to keep her hydrated and on the children's Tylenol.
  6. My old Jeep had the same problem. Engine light came on, and nothing would turn it off. The code checker came back with 'small emissions leak' but nobody could find anything. it got to the point where a mechanic guaranteed he could get it turned off and kept off, and it would only cost me $600. Since my wife had a perfectly fine car, and we worked opposite shifts, we declined that offer.
  7. I found out last night that my youngest sister and two nieces (whom I've never met) are living in a homeless shelter! I'm sorry if I sound cold, or un-brotherly, but as horrible as I feel for those two little girls. I don't have any sympathy at all for her. She's a ninth grade dropout, got knocked up at eighteen, got arrested two years ago with her boyfriend (now husband) for possession of heroin, and was living in a shithole in Rochester, NY. She makes all theses facebook posts about wanting to have a better life, but, she won't actually do anything. It's like she saw Aladdin too many times, and thinks that she's going to find the magic lamp and the Genie is going to grant her three wishes. She got a job offer starting at $11/hr and turned it down because she didn't like the hours and didn't want her kids hating her for not being around (instead of being happy to have food and clothes). Then she got an offer for a bunch of grants and financial aid to go to a vet tech school in Buffalo, and she turned that down because it was too far to drive. She was all set to move out of the apt, but, then her new place fell through when they ran the background check and found the heroin arrest, and now she's kicked out of the one she was in because she didn't pay her rent, since she planned on moving out anyway.
  8. My sincere condolences for you and yours, Tabe.
  9. Have some kids. That wipes out all the time you would have for friends. LOL. I'm in a similar boat. Leaving NYC next year. Have family and 1 friend in Philadelphia, so hopefully it eases us in a bit. I have two awesome little girls ages three and five.
  10. The wifey and I have been talking about moving away from the Northeast, and these winters, for years now, and it just might happen. The only thing keeping us here is her not wanting to move away from her family. But her father retires soon, and he isn't in any hurry to stay around either. So, if the stars all align, we'll be headed for Forth Worth, TX next year. Less than an hour away from AT&T Stadium, and only a couple of hours away from Norman, OK where the Sooners play. My boss assured me that I'll be kept on as a satellite employee, which is a huge relief. But, I'm not exactly keen on being thirty-three years old and having to make new friends. I'm sure I can just find the local craft beer bar, hit up some rassiln' shows, and find the local comics shop, and meet some like-minded people. But the idea of being in my thirties and being all "Wanna be friends and hang out?" isn't too appealing.
  11. The wife and I have officially planned our end of the year vacation. Los Angeles to see the final Motley Crue show!
  12. My big one at the moment is when someone makes a clear statement, and then proceeds to basically define it for you, in case you didn't know what they meant. I get it at my job all the time "I lost my dog, and I don't know where it is."
  13. My favorite restaurant now has a beer sampler on their menu. For the price of a regular pint. You get 4 5oz glasses of your choice of any of their beers on tap.
  14. Definitely split it up by year, so viewers can see his career progression match by match. I also think you need to add Fujiwara vs Maeda from the 8/89 UWF show.
  15. The wife and I have been experimenting lately. We made a crab rangoon pizza that was absolutely amazing. With the Super Bowl coming up, and me refusing to go near a grocery store that day, we decided to give another go to making our own pizzas.
  16. The wife and I made a mutual resolution of no more fighting or arguing over stupid shit. We got into a HUGE fight on Christmas of 2013 and spent most of 2014 on eggshells around each other. We had our good moments too, of course. But, decided that we don't want anymore BS like that, so we're starting fresh.
  17. Both of my girls are obsessed with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood on PBS. It streams on Netflix, so they can literally sit there for hours and watch it nonstop.
  18. They do still make it, John, a friend of mine actually told me last night to check that out if it's available near me. I did a beer tasting yesterday at Three Brothers Winery in Rochester, NY. I had a declicous Black Lager called Gunny Mack, it tastes like a coffee stout, only not as heavy.
  19. Congrats on the little man! Yeah, the 12/13/14 DOB would have been cool.
  20. Christmas was the 25th, I turned 32 on the 27th, and today my older daughter turns 5. So, December is always a busy and expensive month. But, this year was leaps and bounds better than last year. The only gifts I got last year were something from my mother (I honestly can't remember what it was) and a set of pint glasses from a sister-in-law. There were a few gifts for myself and the wife, but the wife pretty much kept them for herself. The missus and I got into a huge fight on Christmas over something else. We were supposed to go for lunch on my birthday, and that didn't happen. We were supposed to go out with friends that night, and she stayed home. We did take the kids out for the kid's birthday, and to the in-laws for cake, but it was pretty awkward and miserable. We, obviously, have since worked things out. This year, the wife got me two seasons of TUF on DVD (Carwin/Nelson and Rousey/Tate). I got a Dunkin gift card and a Bears frosty mug from one sis-in-law, a Jurassic Park shirt from another (the same who got me the glasses) and some nice facewash and shave gel from the other one. My mom got me another set of glasses and crafted me a six pack, and my wife's parents got us a $50 card for Unos and Regal Cinnemas for a dinner and movei date. For my Birthday, I got a new proglide razor and gel kit from my wife, and my in-laws ordered a Bears hoodie from the NFL shop (which, I'm sure you all know isn't cheap). And, my mother is taking us to dinner sometime next week. We're doing the birthday party Wednesday, withe cake already ordered and instead of paying out the ass for shitty pizza, we're just making our own, since we've been on an experimental culinary kick.
  21. It's my 32nd Birthday! I'm having lunch with my best friend (whose birthday is in three days, so we're celebrating both today) and spending the day with my family. I've got a growler a pale ale in my fridge from a friend of mine who is in the process of starting a brewery.
  22. Niners, as shitty as that is, it's even more shitty this time of year. Like Big Fresh told you, you just need to walk away, and tear that proverbial bandaid off in one yank.
