I got our kids to try the roasted brussels sprouts that I make by telling them it would make them fart.  I almost didn’t get any.  As for asparagus all I needed to tell them was that it would make your pee smell and gone.

I love the Murph.  I’ve done that a few times at conferences where you’re with coworkers, customers, and industry people.  You get up to go to the bathroom, realize you’re pretty drunk, settle up your tab, and just GTFO to your room.

My thoughts exactly.  Get well Drew.

A few grand is nothing to sneeze at for sure, but when the average wedding seems to be north of 10 grand, adding an additional 10% or less doesn’t seem that big. And yes, I work in a corporate office for a steel mill services company so I can see your point there.

Wow. I probably end up at at least 5-7 open bars a year purely during the course of work. At conferences, company get togethers, etc. And for awhile it was closer to 12-15 a year when my friends and family were all getting married during a 7 year stretch. And it’s really not that much more in the grand scheme of…

That is true.  An old man though.

Fair enough.  I probably should have put that differently.

I don’t get it. I played for 10 years up to college and there isn’t a chance in hell my two boys are playing football. I wake up everyday with aches and pains that my peers who didn’t play don’t have; I’ve herniated a disc in my neck getting out of FUCKING bed; my knees are shot and my back will seize up for no…

I just learned that this weekend.  I replaced the starter on my 06 Pilot and there are 2 1" diameter hoses that were in the way of all the wrench movements.  I didn’t want to remove them as they looked fairly brittle and having to work around them probably cost me 2 hours of additional time.

Had my 1995 Wrangler parking brake let loose in a Wawa parking lot and it rolled into another vehicle.  I got lucky in that the woman was willing to take cash once the car was repaired and not go through insurance.

Cool.  Thanks for the tips.

Exactly. My wife started a co-working space here in suburban Philadelphia with the explicit statement to her business partner that after that was up and running they would spin off an aftercare program that would be more flexible for the parents but also a bit more relaxed for the kids.  Now the co-working space isn’t…

That’s the situation my daughter is in.  She is a late August birthday, but has two older brothers and is as big as anyone else in her class.  Add to that, she is doing well academically, but she has regressed with night time bedwetting and is usually a wreck when she comes home from aftercare.  I’m not sure if the…

I’ve played the game twice and each time its fun in the beginning but then begins to slog. I’m assuming it’s me. But does joining a Corp add that much more enjoyment? And what type of Corp do you join if you’re not sure what you want to do yet? Sorry, I know I sound like a college sophomore trying to pick a major.

Definitely. And as a Sixers fan, it’s pretty good watching with Simmons and Embiid and now Butler.  They are still a year or two away, but if they can get another shooter to replace the Futlz screwup the battles between the 76ers, Celtics, Bucks, and Raptors should be extremely fun!

There are a bunch of really good young bigs in the NBA these days. And not just lane cloggers. Most of them can run, pass, defend and shoot from at least mid-range if not 3 point land. I think the battles that will be fought by them over the next decade will be awesome to watch assuming they can all stay healthy.

Right.  I feel like his head is going to burn a hole in my monitor. 

I’m so glad it’s done. I’m good for the next 5 years. I had PreCheck previously but this is so much more.

I had this issue as well in Philadelphia.  I ended up doing the interview upon arrival option on a recent return from a business trip to Mexico.  So I ended up doing the interview at Dallas/Fort Worth.  Had to wait for the CBP officer to get off lunch but overall only took about 30 minutes total.  Got the card in the…

Yeah, I got to say I was more than a little upset about that.  And for the record Magary, Wing Bowl is dead now.  It is never to be again... which is a supremely good thing.
