Last week someone let the air out of the front tires on my work van, this week they went whole-hog and slashed all 4 of them :sigh: I haven't even pissed off anyone at work lately, at least to the best of my knowledge.

And my phone's clock has stopped jumping around, preferring to stay right at 11:28am on April 6th :downs: , which is playing hell with a few of the apps that use the clock for stuff.

The last one I watched was Tokyo Drift so my opinion may not be "valid" or whatever. Even though I was in the theater by myself (1300 on a wednesday at ft bliss - there was nobody) I couldn't stop cringing. Everything was so bad it was bad, not so bad it was good. I'm convinced all of you said it was good to convince me to waste an afternoon in the greatest troll ever.


Well, there was that one part where a type IV ambo drove onto the fakeshit "drone," that was pretty cool. And it was the best send-off I've seen for a deceased actor. But I don't care about the actor himself and I guess the film just didn't catch. Oh well.

Have been trying to get the wife on board with the diet and light exercise program I've been on and dropped 32 lbs on in since Ash Wednesday. I gave up sugar for Lent, which was fairly easy except for my coffee (I like a bit in it to knock the bitter off). Anyway, combining going sugarless along with knocking out bread/refined flower, and doing some sort of cardio for a min of 30 minutes a day has yielded good results, no doubt working on the house helped.

She is in the kitchen eating cottage cheese from the container :barf: She's put on a good bit of weight over the last year and I absolutely hate it.

I don't think she cares anymore, and that is just sad. If I say anything, I may as we'll be ready for a 12 round fight

I am to the point that I am going to just bite the bullet, be direct and tell her to lose some goddamn weight while being completely obvious I'm ogling other in shape women. I don't expect her to have the body she had 15 years ago, but drat, have some pride

This will surely go over well

Paint it as concern. Tell her that you want her to live healthier. Do you have kids? Tell her that you want her to live longer for them. Do you know of any diseases that run in her family, like heart or kidney disease of diabetes? Educate her on how to reduce the risks. Invite her along when you go to the gym. Invite her to do physical activities, like hiking or biking.

A risky one is to fawn over some old photos of you two, and say, "We looked so good back then." It's important that all of this is about WE and US, not YOU. It's about the two of you together. It's not just her problem.

It's not going to be pretty any way you put it, but I hope it works out for you.

Good advice that has all been tried and thus far not worked over the last few years. I've especially laid it on thick about being around a long time for our kid (and grandkids). I've tried that and bribery (trip back to Europe, new wardrobe, etc). Nothing works

If it makes you feel any better tonight I got home from work to find the back door open.

Nope.

They were outside and evidently the chill idea above had been the plan, but my 4 year old son had decided to take a poo poo outside instead of inside in the toilet (as he's known how to do for well over a year now). My wife is trying to clean him up and my loving DOGS ARE EATING MY SONS FRESH poo poo :barf:

Bribery? Oh boy. Y'all got some serious communication issues. Please try couples counseling before you try ogling other in-shape women.

Maybe the counseling would help your wife as well. Obesity in women often comes hand-in-hand with a lot of other issues, such as insecurity, binge eating, emotional eating, and a host of other weird poo poo. My sister, my mom, and I have all lost significant amounts of weight, and tackling obesity was more than just tackling how we ate but also why we did it (spoiler alert: it's daddy issues). My sister and I both did the keto diet, which is neat because you can still eat a lot of tasty things. It's a hell of a lot more fun than obsessive calorie-counting.


There's just over two weeks until I leave for California. I'm loving stoked as hell to drive the Viper.

So stepdad is the kind of person who never locks any doors, and doesn't believe in alarms either. Mom is the complete polar opposite, alarm always has to be on, won't answer the door if someone rings the doorbell unless she has a gun in her hand, locks every door (including interior doors), leaves every light on 24/7 (which is why I've replaced everything she tends to leave on with LEDs). It's a good neighborhood, but burglaries do happen - usually because someone left something valuable out or because of doors being left unlocked, or the always-favorite "garage left open while someone's mowing the yard", aka crimes of opportunity (I've personally had a couple of bikes stolen since I moved back here).

Apparently stepdad got home from work, didn't lock the door, and went to bed. Mom called me freaking out - she walked out of her office when she heard the front door slam, and found a total stranger walking through the living room. :stonk: They hauled rear end out of the house when she screamed, at least. But goddamnit, lock the goddamned door behind you.

WHY HAVE YOU NOT GONE TO CHICOS TAOCS YET?! I mean, I know it's a love it or hate it, but if you hate it, you're not far from some of the best Mexican food in the country. L&J Cafe is loving awesome, by far the best Mexican food I've had in a restaurant, and right next to Concordia Cemetery (so lots of history if you're into that). If you have to stick close to base, Kiki's has been on Food Network multiple times - it's almost as good, but the atmosphere is full of newspaper articles and poo poo about how awesome they are, which kinda gets annoying.

Sorry. I'm literally drooling just thinking about all 3 places. I pretty much grew up in Chico's (mainly the one on McRae, though that one is long closed), and I spent a lot of time at L&J as well. All 3 of them are regular stops for me every time I go back to visit my dad (who was also stationed at Ft Bliss).

It'll take a lot of training to get him to behave on a leash. It's that way with any dog, but in particular with an active breed like a Husky mix. Just be glad you got him when he was young - it'll be a hell of a lot easier to break any bad habits.

A good friend of mine has a pure Husky that's perfectly behaved both on and off leash (won't leave her side even off leash, but don't you dare get close to her if he doesn't know you. She always takes him camping, hiking, climbing, etc). It can be done, it just takes a little more work with such an active breed. Also, what jamal said - he's going to need a LOT of exercise to keep him from getting bored/destructive. Frequent walks and regular hiking/biking/etc will go a long way for both his sanity and yours.

I see a lot of skinned knees in your future if/when you try that. :v: I don't think you realize just how strong Huskys are.

Work chat for a second. Got a $26 tip on a $14 order today. :stare: I texted a coworker about it, she laughed and sent "you met (we'll say Bob), didn't you?". Coworkers tell me the guy won the lottery a couple of years ago. He's very well known in the store, known to tip at least 100% (usually more), and also known to pull into a gas station in a Corvette, buy $100 worth of scratch off tickets, and hand them out to everyone in the parking lot. :stonklol:

He also has a loving awesome Boxer. He opened the door and said "watch out he bites!" as his dog ran up to me wagging his tail; I just laughed, knelt down, and started scratching a dog that appeared to be very, very content. I seriously wanted to take that dog home with me. :allears:

The next time I see his address pop up, it'll be a knock down drag out to see who gets to take that order.
