I almost hate to admit this, but: When I went to Starbucks today, my coffee was *waiting* for me on the counter. How crazy is that?! :eek:

The guy who waited on me said "You want your usual, right? I saw you coming around the corner, so I've already made it for you."

I know Starbucks is a huge evil corporation, but this one little franchise RAWKS in my opinion!

[RosieRed]

I know what you mean.

My mom insisted I give her a list. So I finally did. It had three items on it ... and it took me days to come up with those three items.

[Chip R]

I am going to a bar BY MYSELF to watch the Kansas-Nevada bball game...
I used to go down to my favorite watering hole to watch the Reds or Celtics play when I lived in the dorms when I was going to college. We didn't have cable in the dorms and if the Reds or Celtics were on TBS or WGN I'd just walk down to the Hill and have a seat at the bar and watch the game. One time this foreign beer salesman was in there and he let me sample several of his products. :) Then he gave me a Grolsch key chain which was really cool cause it was a ceramic Grolsch bottle top. Another time I was down there I got into a conversation with this one guy who told me stories about when Harry Carey and Jimmy Piersall used to do White Sox games.

starbucks isn't evil. i just don't like their coffee or they cd samplers.

they are a good employer. (they pay health care if you work 20 hours a week, better pay than most other coffee houses)

the newspaper here did a study of the number of independent coffee houses in portland before and after the start of starbucks. there were less than 10 then, over 90 now. they created "coffee culture" in america IMO.

[letsgojunior]

Wow... I have 40 items on my Christmas list, and I didn't really even apply myself. I keep thinking of new items every day and sending out emails with the message line "revised Christmas list.":lol:

And yes I know that I am spoiled.;)

[Chip R]

I got a really cool e-mail when I got home from work. I found a message board for Northern Iowa athletics about a week ago. Somebody started a thread on there about how they were having problems listening to the games on line. I've been having problems all fall but I didn't have any last year. I tried to listen to a little bit of a coach's show when I started back to work after I broke my ankle and I didn't have any problems. So I posted a message on there about how I've been having problems and I didn't think anything would come of it. So tonight I get an e-mail from the guy who is in charge of these on-line broadcasts and he wants to know why I'm having problems and how he can help. He gave me his number and name and wanted to call me to help me out. He probably won't be able to help but that is good customer service. The message board isn't officially affiliated with the university but they must do some surfing on there. That not only RAWKS, that hella RAWKS! :)

Right now I'm wondering if either of the last two could occur without the first?

sava would you start the annual Redszone Posters awards? I need to nominate Chip and Puffy for best looking Redszone male, and no one will ever respond to threads that I start. It's like my own personal curse.

Took a walk at lunch today …

It was a beautiful day for baseball … mid 70s, light breeze blowing across the field … white puffy clouds rolling by blocking the intensity of the afternoon sun …

We were all sitting in the stands, cracking peanuts … well, let’s making it popcorn this time.

Runner on second, Adam Dunn steps to the plate, bottom of the eighth of a scoreless game … Kerry Wood on the mound.

Here’s the pitch …

(you take it from here)

[Super_Barry11]

Well, if you're flying solo, at least you'll be flying free. :mhcky21:

Just got back from the hospital. I'm a grandfather. Yikes.

My granddaughter was born around 4:30 am, 6 pounds, 14 oz, 20 inches long.

She shows some propensity for going to the right, so I may have been premature in thinking she'd be a pitcher. May be a shortstop.

It may be a little too early to tell, but I'll keep you informed on the testing I have planned.

:thumbup:
Congratulations RFS62! :thumbup:

OK, but the important thing is .... who won the contest in here {time and weight}? :D

FYI: Godzilla got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Also, Drew Barrymore's father, John D., died.

Today was the first day of the winter where it didn't top 60. Man was it cold.

So my oldest boxer hurt her leg the other night going a little too hard with the younger dogs at the dog park. So to give her a respite, I took my youngest puppy, who is usually in her shadow 24/7, over to my parents house across town for a week so that she could go easy without having Sophie egg her on to play all the time.

So my mom sends me these pictures from her digital, telling me that Sophie, my youngest, is enamored with my's moms new lab/rot mix new puppy, and won't leave her alone. They are now apparently inseperable.

I think I may have to fight to get her back over to my house again

Oh you no ESPN2 and no cable people are breaking my heart. :allovrjr:

When I was in college there wasn't cable. No I'm not talking in the dorms, I mean there wasn't cable. Well maybe in NY and some larger cities, but not in Kankakee IL. I think the town was wired in about 1976, but not the dorms. Ohhhhh, the suffering I have seen...

I told my parents I just want blank DVD-rs for Christmas

Easy..to the point..and they send 100 :thumbup:

[zombie-a-go-go]

I don't have cable. Never have, never will.

My Christmas list consists of two D&D books I won't get, because my family doesn't know how to shop for anything that can't be found at a mall.

We are ordering pizza for dinner tonight from LaRosa's to celebrate baby-momma's first day on the job. And getting the Spider-Man 2 DVD (she's a big comic-book fan too... but I'm buying the movie for me. She gets to watch it, though :devil: ).

[creek14]

So where's she working zom? And did you have a let's keep the apt clean talk with her?

[zombie-a-go-go]

She's got a gig as a financial advisor for Fidelity Investments. From manning the ice-cream counter at UDF to tracking stock activity... amazing what you can do when you apply yourself, ain't it? :D

And yeah, we had the 'talk.' It was amusing to me (in retrospect); never thought I'd ever hear the words "I don't care how things were before, but as long as you're living under my roof you're going to live by my rules" come out of my mouth. :MandJ:

Seemed to do the trick.

[zombie-a-go-go]

I love the old canards.

[Roy Tucker]

I don't have a Christmas list. I have two problems (well, I have a lot of problems actually, but only 2 Christmas list ones).

1.) I can't think of much till I go out shopping for others and then I see something and say "oooo, I want that".
2.) I just don't want that much. And what I do want costs >$50K.

Zomb, you seem to be joining a lot of clubs I belong to. Baby pictures, poopy diapers and now the "it's my house" club. Welcome.

I'm the same way. Nobody can buy me sporting goods equipment or electronics stuff, 'cause I always research it myself and I always know exactly what I want.

So, I usually get clothes, which is a good thing. My wife always has picked my favorite stuff, far better than I'd do for myself in that department.

That's pretty much where I am. The only "toys" I want are too expensive for anyone to get for me. I need a new bookcase ... and a place to out it. New desktop stereo ... MP3 or Ipod ... Laptop ... digital camera ... that sort of thing.

[Roy Tucker]

Speaking of cable TV, does anyone know anything about hooking up a second TV to an existing cable line/box?

We've got a spare room in the basement that I'm converting to an exercise room and I want to put a TV in it so I can watch Reds games while doing the treadmill.

:MandJ:

[creek14]

Adults in my family don't buy each other Christmas gifts. But my mom always pays for a year of garbage pick-up and about $2000 towards the principal on our house. Does the same for my sister. I think more than a Christmas gift it is a payback for the lawn mowing, tile laying, carpet cleaning, shrub pruning, mulch spreading, snow clearing, etc., she gets throughout the year.

If the second teevee is cable-ready, all you need is a Y-Splitter and some more coax cable.

I'm pretty sure. Though I wouldn't mortgage my tennis-shoes on it.

You'd actually want two new cables. What you want to do is take the feed cable that's coming out of the wall, disconnect it from your primary set, and attach the y-splitter on the end. Then run your first new coax cable to your primary set and run the secondary cable down to your new set.

[Larkin Fan]

He's not listed on any of Topps extra packages, although they did do a set on the Minor leaguers apparently this year, so I'd be skeptical

http://www.topps.com/SportsCollect/Baseball/index.html

No need to be skeptical. It's authentic. Topps has a Rookie and Traded set that comes out about this time every year.

[creek14]

Roy, just get a spliter and run it through the attic.

[Roy Tucker]

If the second teevee is cable-ready, all you need is a Y-Splitter and some more coax cable.
That's what I thought. I've got an old TV that I'm sure isn't cable-ready (the spousal unit had it in her apartment pre-Roy and we're coming up on 20 yrs.) that I was thinking about using.

But TVs are so cheap now and I need just a little one. I may just go buy one for <$100. Or put one on my Xmas list. Now there's a thought.

[zombie-a-go-go]

Breakfast Time!

Man, I loathe coming in to work at 7, but love leaving at 3.

[Roy Tucker]

A y-splitter sounds like a baseball pitch ("looks like he got him out with a nasty y-splitter").

Thanks for the info folks. You are my virtual coffee pot gang.

I am officially getting sick of turkey left-overs. I'm on Day 5 of a turkey sandwich for lunch.

So I have long heard that Preparation H would reduce bags under the eyes. I just googled it and seems that just isn't true. I don't know if I am sad cause I thought it would be an easy fix for the luggage I am carrying around since I have been tired or I am relieved that I don't have to actually buy Preparation H.

Decided the jaded, world-weary, wise-existentialist look just isn't for you, anymore? :D

My grandmother used to say that every wrinkle she had was an experience, every scar a memory, and that she wouldn't trade away a single one of them to look young again.

Just an anecdote; it has nothing to do with your beauty. :D

[creek14]

I don't have any wrinkles. One of oily skins benefits.

I just hate the bags. They make me look so tired. And yes, I am TIRED. Really really tired.

But I don't want the whole world to know that just by looking at me. I want the chance to have them ask me how it's going and then I can complain about how tired I am. :)

And believe me, I'm not worried about beauty. Never been pretty, never will be. Of course when you are as charming as me, who needs looks?!

You know it's bad when your own mother says to you (at age 12) Cindy, you aren't a very pretty girl, you need to get contacts and get rid of the glasses.

They even wrote in my baby book "she's the ugliest baby we have ever seen"

Gosh it's great to be loved.

[Roy Tucker]

Judging from some of the more colorful names I have been called in the past, if I put Preparation H anywhere on my head, it would probably disappear.

I asked one of my professors to send in a letter of recommendation for law school for me three weeks ago. I can view online when it has been sent in, and it hasn't been submitted yet. They won't start reviewing your apps until the entire file is complete, and this is the only thing I'm missing. I sent him an email last night very politely asking him the status of the letter. Do you think that is rude? I didn't know what else to do - several of the deadlines are 1/1 and there is usually a two week processing period. I really tried to be as polite as possible (ie I'm sorry to bother you, thanks for helping me).

I don't think it is lgj. If he said he was going to do it, I'm sure he is aware of the importance and urgency of it. A polite reminder is well within the boundaries of good manners.

If he doesn't have it in by, oh, the weekend, I'd start to turn the heat up a bit, e.g. "if you don't have time to do it, please let me know so I can line up an alternate recommendation".

2.) I just don't want that much. And what I do want costs >$50K.

I have the exact same problem!!! Problem is, I do most of my shopping online, so I don't see much stuff other than what I'm looking for for other people.

Although, I did play the good husband and go to Target with the wife the day after Thanksgiving and saw that they have:

South Park Seasons 1-4 on DVD
Land of the Lost Season 1-2 on DVD

I want those.

My 14 month old got sick Thanksgiving night....throw up sick. I got it Sunday afternoon. Took the day off work throwing up yesterday. That's why I wasn't here. Hope you all had a great Turkey day.

I get scolded for having a boring Christmas wish list. (I think of things I need at the time, like towels, socks and whatnot.)

Even though one of my most coveted gifts last year was bath mats, which I absolutely adore, I put more fun" items on there this year. :MandJ:

I did that because I too hate shopping in the boring stores.

I could be at home right now, relaxing in a bubble bath, sipping on a glass of chardonnay, listening to Enya, and watching my two cuddly kittens play with a ball of yarn. There'd be incense, too. Violet incense. The kittens are new (as soon as they get bigger and less-cute, I take them to the shelter. I tell the people there that I found them on the side of the road). Their names are Precious and Precocious. I painted their claws bubble-gum yesterday.

[zombie-a-go-go]

I get scolded for having a boring Christmas wish list. (I think of things I need at the time, like towels, socks and whatnot.)

Even though one of my most coveted gifts last year was bath mats, which I absolutely adore, I put more fun" items on there this year. :MandJ:

I did that because I too hate shopping in the boring stores.

Tell 'em that every dollar they spend on your 'boring stuff' is another dollar that you'll have to spend on the fun stuff for yourself, and they'll probably screw up trying to get you anything cool and esoteric anyway.

That's what my parents told me when, at 17, I asked for Warhammer Fantasy Battle and they bought me underwear instead.

Course, now I love getting underwear. For the aforementioned reasons.

They're more likely to be adopted into a permanent home if you take them to the shelter while they're little and cute though.

I have no cats. I loathe cats. They like to knock over your paints and your beers. Nor do I have wine, or glasses appropriate for the consumption of it. I do not own a cd by Enya. I do, however, have incense - it masks the scent of infant 'accidents' quite nicely.

Bubble-bath is nasty. Baths in general are nasty. You don't get clean when you take 'em.

I think that about covers it.

(Teach me to write fiction...)

Dogs...... the most helpless of the domesticated animals.... latin name "Canis Guiltas"

[jmcclain19]

My Yahoo LAUNCHcast player is possessed. It is spitting out the greatest tunes it ever has. Bunch of songs I haven't heard in a long time that I love.

GNR- Out ta get me
Stupid Girl - Garbage
etc

Kinda creepy RL.

This morning, on my way to work, I clicked over to the first Garbage album. Just in the mood to hear it and I haven't heard it in forever.

[Red Leader]

Dude, kittens?? Guys only tolerate kittens, we like dogs, big, slobbery, gas blowing dogs!


Amen. Dogs are dependant on us to live. They love us. No matter what. Whatever we do is the greatest thing that could have been done. Cats are too independant and fickle....much like...... ummm, nevermind.

[Roy Tucker]

Z, your Guy card is hereby revoked.

[Puffy]

Although, if you combine the "guys like to fart" with the "bubble bath" thats always pretty cool :devil:

[Red Leader]

Amazing. All of the songs that I programmed in to my LAUNCHcast (the one hit wonders) that it wouldn't play the first month I listed to it are all playing today.

So far today I've heard:

19- Paul Hardcastle
Pop Goes the World - Men Without Hats
Counting Crows - Einstein on the Beach
Garbage - Stupid Girl
Edie Brickell - Circle
Six Underground - Sneaker Pimps
Block Rockin' Beats - Chemical Brothers
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry
Rambin' Man - The Allman Brothers

[Puffy]

I am getting Sirius for christmas. So after Christmas I will be able to listen to Air America, Howard Stern (well, in a little over a year) and the NCAA Tournament!!! Woooohoooooo!!!

I am a little upset that MLB went with XM Radio, but I can still get Reds day games over the internet so I got that going for me, which is nice.

[westofyou]

I don't get Howard, I find him moronic and infantile.

Not to mention boring and culturally retarded.

But then again I've never been to a strip clup either.

[CbusRed]

Air America is the funniest station on radio!

[zombie-a-go-go]

I don't get Howard, I find him moronic and infantile.

Not to mention boring and culturally retarded.

But then again I've never been to a strip clup either.

Given his widespread popularity, I'd say that he's pretty in tune with popular culture.

But then again, I don't make a habit of slamming things that other people like just because I don't care for them.

[westofyou]

Nice Backhand Zom...... how's your forehand these days?

[Red Leader]

I don't think Howard Stern is very funny either. I just think he tries too hard. I like people that are funny without trying to be funny.

What, no Enya? :confused:

I can't wait till tomorrow. Not only might I get some work done but I get to listen to My Station on LaunchCast. :party: Although I've been pretty satisfied listening to John Hiatt Fan Radio and Lucinda Williams Fan Radio for the last couple weeks. :thumbup:

Not a fan of Howard either, I think he's crass and frankly just boring.

But then again, I don't really enjoy any form of talk radio, be it Rush, Howard or Franken.

I'll occasionally listen to Dan Patrick, but that's rare. Give me my iPod in the car and at work and I'm happy.

[Red Leader]

Tonight I get to get all of the Christmas stuff down from the attic. What fun.

Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry

That's a great album, Buddy X and Trout are two of my favorite all time songs, especially Trout

<====== Doesn't own Enya, but does have "Pure Moods".

[Red Leader]

That's a great album, Buddy X and Trout are two of my favorite all time songs, especially Trout

I agree. I really like that album.

...and wouldn't you know it. LAUNCHcast decided to spit out "The Ballad of Jayne" by LA Guns for me as well today. Also heard "Teenage Love" by Slick Rick for all of you old school rap fans.

[zombie-a-go-go]

Nice Backhand Zom...... how's your forehand these days?

It spends a lot of time attached to my forehead, ala Homer Simpson. :D

I don't care for Stern either, for what it's worth.

[zombie-a-go-go]

Swank.

[Puffy]

Not a lot of love for Howard on here.

Thats cool though - he makes me laugh as does Artie Lang and he gets his guests to open up more than any other person on the face of this earth, save maybe Barbara Walters.

And I've never been to a strip club either - and if anyone believes that I have a baseball team to sell you in the Bronx.

[TeamCasey]

Thinking about this some more. I think guys just don't have the guts to admit to other guys that they like a nice bubble bath, a little jazz, some wine and candles.

[TeamCasey]

Aunt Fanny dislikes Howard Stern, but she loves Bobby and Tommy.

I loath Jazz.

No offense......... it's my fault. (though I do like some Miles)

[westofyou]

I can't still for 10 minutes much alone sit in a bubble bath.

I like Candles though.... maybe there's hope for me yet?

[TeamCasey]

Why is it that Bush is the 1st U.S. president in 10 years to officially visit Canada? Seems odd.

I'm with woy. I like candles. I prefer a long hot shower to a bubble bath, I dislike jazz and country (the only kinds of music I really don't like), and wine gives me a headache instantly and makes me an angry drunk even if I ignore the headache and continue drinking it.

I've got guts.

[zombie-a-go-go]

Thinking about this some more. I think guys just don't have the guts to admit to other guys that they like a nice bubble bath, a little jazz, some wine and candles.

Dude.... seriously, I remember bubble baths from when I was a kid. My most enduring memory of them is that after you would drain the bath and try to towel off, you'd still be all filmy and just generally icky-feeling from the bubble-solution clinging to your skin.

I just generally can't relax (as in not do anything). To me, relaxing is writing/drawing/painting whilst bumping the Clash on the stereo, cigarette clenched between my lips and a couple of cold bottles of Sam Adams close at hand.

Give me more than ten minutes of 'do-nothing' and I start to get all antsy. I pace around my apartment. And start re-washing dishes.

Sometimes I take baths in this thing that has jet streams and heats the water automatically. Some call it a jacuzzi. Puffy digs the hot tubs :thumbup:

[jmcclain19]

Thinking about this some more. I think guys just don't have the guts to admit to other guys that they like a nice bubble bath, a little jazz, some wine and candles.

I'll chime in and say I like candles too.

My mother runs a shop where they sell Yankee candles and she always buys mix sets of them and brings them by the house.

Don't know about Jazz, although I do enjoy big band and blues from time to time, not quite the same thing. And I really don't drink alcohol but once in a blue moon, so wine's out.

I don't think I've had a bubble bath since that time....oh wait....this is a family forum :devil:

[DunnersGrl44]

I want an Xbox for Christmas!

[Chip R]

Hello, DG. How you doing?

[RFS62]

I like candles. Whenever I come home and see candles, good things usually follow.

Not a big fan of the bubble bath, unless it's a jacuzzi party.

Jazz reminds me a lot of wine. I know a few people who really know their stuff on both. But I've met a lot of people over the years who were kinda pretentious "wine snobs" and "jazz snobs". I love to jerk the chain of wine snobs. I like to swirl a taste around in my mouth and suck air, the way true wine experts do. Then I'll say something like "hmmmmmm... subtle, yet unobtrusive. Brave little vintage" and act all like I know what I'm talking about.

I've always wanted to smell the cork and swirl and taste the sample in a nice resturant, and then spit it out on the floor and say "ptoooie... I wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with this swill!!!!"

[Puffy]

So, whats everybody having for lunch?

I have to run to the bank to get some flow, which cuts into my lunch time, so I have to pick something upo and bring it back to the office, so I'm thinking Wild Mountain Chicken Combo from Wendy's. Mmmmmmmmm, wild mountain chicken sandwich.........

[DunnersGrl44]

Hi Chip, I am tired. And i am adjusting to my new life. Kinda weird.
How are you?

[zombie-a-go-go]

I had the Wild Mountain burger from Wendy's when I went up north this weekend, and must say that I wasn't that impressed with it.

Lunch for me.... nothing. I intend on killing a pie tonight, and don't want to ruin my appetite.

[zombie-a-go-go]

DG, be careful if you get an XBox... they're prone to malfunctioning. I had to take mine in to be replaced twice and the third time just gave up and got my money back.

[Puffy]

I haven't had the wild mountain burger - I think the zesty sauce and the monterray pepper jack cheese goes more with chicken than burgers though, so you might want to try the chicken, its good!

[DunnersGrl44]

awww... I was really excited about my Xbox. I got a cordless phone yesterday and it's missing a piece! :angry:

[zombie-a-go-go]

Hmm... I will be going by Wendy's on my way to pick up the DVD tonight after work... but I told the baby-momma I'd order a pizza.... oh well, I can always have cold pizza for breakfast in the morning. For you, Puffy, for you I'll try the chicken version tonight and give a full report come morning.

And it better live up to the hype, brother. :devil:

[Super_Barry11]

So, whats everybody having for lunch?

French toast and Italian wedding soup from the dining hall... Not too bad, but not too great either!

[RFS62]

Philly Cheesesteak from Jersey Mikes.

[zombie-a-go-go]

awww... I was really excited about my Xbox. I got a cordless phone yesterday and it's missing a piece! :angry:

I'm not saying don't get one, just make sure you also get the additional insurance (product replacement plan, or whatever they call it).

[DunnersGrl44]

Will do Zom.... my daddy is getting it for me for Xmas... he always gets those insurance things

[Roy Tucker]

Roy pontificates...

I'm not too keen on Howard Stern. He's intelligent and witty but dwells a little too much in a smutty world for my tastes.

I've been to a lot of strip clubs. However, the last one I was at was at my bachelor party about ~20 yrs. ago. After getting up on stage and doing the bump with some topless bimbo, I figured that had to be the pinnacle of my adult entertainment career so I crossed it off my to-do list. Not a conscious life decision, just don't go there any more.

I like wine, be it red or white. I prefer a cork. I like beer too. I like a fine bourbon on the rocks. My drinking habits are now more quality than quantity.

My wife is a Yankee Candle addict so we have candles cranking away around the house all the time. She does the flavor of the month thing. We put candles on he dinner table sometimes to class the joint up a little.

I'm also a flowers in the house all the time guy. It just makes things a little nicer. Whenever we go to the store, we buy some flowers (nothing expensive, a $5-10 bundle) and put them in a vase on the kitchen island, on the kitchen table, or just wherever. In the summer we plant a flower cutting bed so we get a constant flow till the last hard frost.

I'm a shower guy. Nothing against bubble baths, but they just don't float my boat (and I've got a large boat).

I like older jazz. Like Coltrane, Adderley, Ornette Coleman, Miles era stuff. It's not on my everyday play list but does cross my CD player. I like to listen to Ella Fitzgerald when in the right mood.

My problem is that I like too many different kinds of music so I dabble a lot. Rap is about the only thing I truly don't like. But rock of all kinds, country old and new, classical, jazz, bluegrass, show tunes, folk, etc. all span the Roy collections. Soul and hip-hop have been know to come from my car stereo speakers as well.

There.

[creek14]

I don't like bubble baths. The only person who could lure me into one is Adam. So I don't see me taking one in this lifetime.

Lunch was delightful. Went to Elsa's (really good Mexican food) with a friend and we did a lot of girly dishing about men.

[Chip R]

Hi Chip, I am tired. And i am adjusting to my new life. Kinda weird.
How are you?
Other than the fact I can barely speak above a loud whisper, not too bad.

[CbusRed]

Today is a good day... two of my least favorite teams in all of sports lost their coaches today, Notre Dumb and the Mistake on the Lake :MandJ:

[RosieRed]

Good afternoon everyone! :)

This weather really sucks today. It took me ages to get out of bed ... not helped by the fact I didn't go to sleep until 7 a.m. (Why that late, I have no idea.)

I couldn't get on RedsZone for a while this afternoon. Weird.

Who said they listen to Lucinda Williams? Was it Chip? I have quite a few of her CDs. Love "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road."

[RosieRed]

I like bubble baths, but I can't take them in this apartment. About six months after I moved here (three years ago), the maintenance guy took the drain plug out of my bathtub. Never did replace it. :thumbdown

She wasn't there.

"Greenville" and "Jackson" are just gorgeous songs. I dig "Concrete and Barbed Wire" too. The whole album actually.

I've always loved the word "pontificate!!!" :thumbup: It's one of my favorite words!! :) That along with the phrase "sorely vexed." My mom taught me that when I was three... She said it was a scream to hear me talk about how sorely vexed I was at such a young age!! :MandJ:

Wow, happy birthday to all of them!! I have 2 friends born today... I remember four years ago, my sister's viewing was today, and I brought my friend Lori's birthday gift to give to her at the visitation. She looked at me like I was nuts when I handed her a neatly wrapped present!! :MandJ:

[RosieRed]

Rosie, go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a rubber drain stopper.

I did, years ago. But the water would just slowly go down the drain anyway, and it got to be really annoying to keep having to fill up the tub while I was in it.

I should just demand a real drain plug. I don't think it's too much to ask for. But I "should" demand a lot of stuff in this apartment be fixed:

1. The fan in my bathroom ceiling is not actually in the ceiling; it's hanging from the ceiling by its wires. (A result of work not finished after the ceiling above my bathtub caved in, due to a broken pipe above me a couple years ago.)

2. My dishwasher is as broke as can be. Turn it on, not even one drop of water will appear in it.

3. Light fixture in my kitchen is broke. One of the bulbs went out a few months ago, so I put a new one in. Nothing happened. No light, nada. Broke.

4. The sliding glass doors to my balcony don't close properly. Gets pretty drafty in the winter.

5. There's a scary kid living in my closet. Oh wait, that's just my imagination.

Yeah, I need to move. Been saying it for years. Am going to do it next year.

[letsgojunior]

I'm officially getting really pissed off. My recommender opened the email I sent to him (I have message tagging) but did NOT respond. :thumbdown Even worse, all my transcripts, LSAT score, etc are being held until this letter gets in.

Actually I know someone moving there this coming weekend. Of course all the boys will probably move elsewhere now. :rolleyes:

I'd call $895 for a one-bedroom apartment a little steep too! I think I could get a mortgage for less than that.

If I had a roommate, I could afford a to pay half the rent of a two-bedroom. I'm not sure I want to move to Ky. though. Not because of the location (I'd be closer to work than I am now), but the hassle of moving to another state. The tax headaches, I'd have to get a new license ... and we all know how well that went in Ohio!

Send him an e-mail telling him the RedsZone Posse will be knocking on his door very soon. Let him know we look like this:

Sweet! Can I be the guy on the far left? He looks mean. I've always wanted to be mean.

[creek14]

My Tahoe has Civic's for lunch. :allovrjr: :p: :allovrjr:

[CbusRed]

My Tahoe has Civic's for lunch. :allovrjr: :p: :allovrjr:

The tahoe, while it may be big and strong, Its also fat and slow. Civics drive circles around tahoes.

[RosieRed]

Hey, I didnt cry, I ripped it off my foot then ate it!


We are the Civilians. come on, you are vice president in charge of kicking, cant you at least remember the name? :MandJ:

That's more like it! Way to show that tack who's in charge!! :MandJ:

I thought we were the Civilians, but I didn't want to be wrong. Sorry, I'm so busy with my kicking duties I haven't had time to think!

[zombie-a-go-go]

Actually, this could be a job for The Civilians, We look alot tougher than that! :MandJ:

Hmmph. Just wait until I put together my biker gang.

And by bikes I mean mountain and touring bikes, not Harleys.

You will fear our bike-messenger wrath!

Or something.

[creek14]

My friend got a two bedroom for the one bedroom price.

Yeah you can get a mortgage for that price.

[CbusRed]

:MandJ:

[RosieRed]

Hmm. You seem to be implying you are not or haven't been mean in the past. Interesting.

;)

[creek14]

Bwahahahahahahahaha. Nice talk little Civic boy. Have a big ole 4 cylinder in that mean machine?

I'm just ;) you know.

[zombie-a-go-go]

Hmm. You seem to be implying you are not or haven't been mean in the past. Interesting.

;)

No, see... I'm a jerk, not mean.

Mean implies that you can back up your smack.

Jerk means you run after you talk your smack.
:D

[RosieRed]

Clearly your friend is rich, and I am not. :p:

That is a good deal though.

[RosieRed]

Jerk means you run after you talk your smack.
:D

Ah, yes. Upon further consideration, you are correct. Jerk it is!

(I'm totally kidding Z. Which I'm sure you know, but other people might not. :) )

[zombie-a-go-go]

(I'm totally kidding Z. Which I'm sure you know, but other people might not. :) )

And here I was thinking I was going to have to dose the bartender at Dubliner and drag him back to your place (yes, on my ten-speed, go ahead and laugh) to get you back on my good side. :devil:

[RosieRed]

Z!!! That is such an excellent idea! You would earn top honors in my book for that!

:MandJ:

The bartender is probably married. Wouldn't surprise me in the least, because that is how things go in my life. :MandJ:

Aww, now I want to go to the Dubliner tonight. Stupid six-day work week, getting in the way of my crush on the bartender. :rant:

[CbusRed]

Bwahahahahahahahaha. Nice talk little Civic boy. Have a big ole 4 cylinder in that mean machine?

I'm just ;) you know.
Yes, 4 cylinders of PURE POWER!
5 manual gears of total speed, no power windows or locks to take away from the sheer power. She's built like Ted Ginn Jr. Fast and decieving, with moves so smooth they could make a catholic nun get hot and bothered. :MandJ:

[Chip R]

Hey, Rosie, I found the info about the HSL show at the HOF on the 15th. Not much but there's some info at least.
HSL at the HOF (http://www.700wlw.com/cc-common/feeds/view.php?feed_id=103&feed=/lcl8.html&instance=1&article_id=11343)

[zombie-a-go-go]

Like Pavlov's dog, as soon as I hear the clip of "Up All Night" that Jim Rome plays on his show after his last commercial break I get all happy and excited, because that means it's almost three o-clock.

And at three o-clock, my day is over. Woot!

So tonight, I will go to Media Play and purchase the Spider-Man 2 DVD. On the way I will stop by Wendy's and try the Wild Mountain Chicken Sandwich. On the way back I'll be picking up beer.

You cats all got to get all excited about Seinfeld DVDs, I get Spider-Man 2. :D

[zombie-a-go-go]

LGJ, if you need someone to write you a rec-letter, let me know. I have a Doctorate in Love. (cue swanky music)

[westofyou]

What?

You don't have the pirated version in spanish?

[zombie-a-go-go]

What?

You don't have the pirated version in spanish?

I'm outta the loop, I guess. :MandJ:

Aight, hombres and hombre-ettes, I'm out. Have a good evening! And stuff.

[Puffy]

So I just finished the Wild Mountain Chicken sandwich. It had no tomatoes (because of the hurricanes Florida is short on tomatoes apparently) and they forgot my bacon. They also forgot my monterray jack cheese. What a crock!!!! As Joe Pesci said in Lethal Weapon II - "They {expletive} you at the drive thru"

Thanks Chip! I looked on their site and the Reds' site last night and couldn't find anything. I think WLW's site is impossible to navigate.

[RosieRed]

Zombie is done with his work day, while mine hasn't even started! :eek:

Sorry bout your sandwich Puffy. That sucks.

Off to get ready for work. Blech. At least I know it's my Friday ... and that there's Reds news to put in the paper!

Go to the corporate website and call or email them. They'll send you a couple coupons for free sammaches.

[Roy Tucker]

Just had my daily 3:00 call with my wife...

She said the Kroger on Fields-Ertel is closing tomorrow. She heard that Kroger has a 10 yr. rule, i.e. a store gets older than 10 yrs., they shut it down and build a new one near by.

The Walmart on Fields-Ertel is closing as well once they get the Deerfield super store built.

Another Big Lots is on its way I bet.

[creek14]

You talk to your wife everyday at 3?

I am so not cut out to be married.

[Roy Tucker]

Doesn't happen every day nor does it always happen at 3. But I try.

All too often its the only time we get to talk.

[creek14]

You're a better man than me.

Well obviously.

Pretty much the only person in the world who I can't get enough of is creek jr.

Everyone else, I could go days, weeks, months without seeing or talking to.

[Chip R]

It was on the front page when I checked today. I agree with you about their website. :thumbdown

[Super_Barry11]

I'm so not cut out to be a girlfriend. The non-baseball player guy I'm dating calls me every day, sometimes more than once... I like to talk to him, but is it wrong to feel a bit smothered?? My mom said I should want to talk to him all the time!! :eek:

[westofyou]

I hang with my wife exclusivley.... but I drink beer with Pedro.

[Roy Tucker]

Hey, I can't help it. I love my wife :luvu:

Lest you think it's all lovey-dovey mushy stuff, today we talked about what color guitar strap to get my daughter, what time volleyball is tonight, what leftovers are left in the fridge, how I'm worknig late this week, my son's job status, and where in the hell we're going to get $$$ for Christmas. Woo-hoo.

We that are true lovers run into strange capers.

[Super_Barry11]

I'm in the midst of a nervous biology breakdown... Big exam tomorrow (last one before the final), and everyone is running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to cram some knowledge of photosynthesis, protein structures, enzyme kinetics, reversible binding, and inhibitors into their pointy little heads. I've been preparing for it all afternoon, so now I think I'll take a bio break and work on my creative writing portfolio, which is going to be practically impossible to complete before its due date, Dec. 10. Grrrrrreat. I love the end of semesters!! :p:

[TeamCasey]

Is anyone watching Oprah right now?

[Puffy]

Is anyone watching Oprah right now?

No

[DunnersGrl44]

People actually watch Oprah? I thought that she paid the network to keep her on the air.

[paintmered]

I would like to say I am ready for classes to be over. I am physically and mentally drained, and I just came off of a long weekend :(

I need to rant every now and then ;)

[RosieRed]

Is anyone watching Oprah right now?

I'm taping it. Please no spoilers!

Someone cries, but in the end it all turns out OK. I hope that didn't ruin it for you :devil:

People (the students at our college) it will be easier if you do not argue with me. When I tell you you need a signature by 5, go up and get it and don't argue with me about it. I don't want to argue with you since I can barely speak. Please listen to what I'm saying. :angry:

[RFS62]

Sounds like you just might need to bust open a great ole big can of whup ass there, Chipper.

Did I miss something? You can't talk? Are you sick?

This sounds like another job for the RedsZone Posse. Or the Civilians. ;)

[RosieRed]

Wow. Work is NUTS today. I don't even know why, but people are crazy! :eek:

[RosieRed]

In other news, I'm wearing a new scarf that I finished last night. It's so pretty! Really soft and fuzzy.

[creek14]

Hey, I can't help it. I love my wife :luvu:
I like my husband. Most of the time.

I am kind of hard-hearted.

People just let you down.

[CbusRed]

Wow, this weather sure is great :rolleyes:

Do you guys know any tips for getting a can open?

I have this can of pasta and I can't get it open. It's really making me mad.

[Roy Tucker]

I may not always like my wife, but I always love her.

The day the second half of the equation goes away is the day Big Trouble starts.

Like, lawyers, guns, and money kind of trouble.

[westofyou]

Can or jar?

If a jar pound on the bottom or place a spoon under the lids lip, to release the vaccumm seal.

[letsgojunior]

Jar of pasta sauce. It's driving me nuts!

[Super_Barry11]

One time, I was babysitting and couldn't figure out how to work the can opener... I called the six-year-old next door, and he came over and opened it for me... :redface:

So obviously, I'm not much of a help in this category... If you want little Cole's help (he must be at least 11 or 12 by now), just let me know and I'll give him a call. ;)

[westofyou]

Pound the bottom then.

Just between you and me, mr creek made a grievous error in judgment a few years ago. With all of my creekness I wanted to kick his sorry ass to the curb. But creek jr’s happiness was/is more important than what I wanted.

So I forgave, but will never forget.

And it changed everything. Forever.

I don’t even know why I am telling this. Guess cause it’s rainy and I am melancholy right now.

[Puffy]

Man, this thread has everything!!! Including advice on how to open up a jar - we rawk!!

[Roy Tucker]

Uh, can opener doesn't work?

Sometimes when I've opened a can, the stuff in it makes a seal tight around the can and air can't get in to displace the stuff. I use my old beer can opener (Burger Beer) to poke a hole in the bottom and out it plops.

[letsgojunior]

Sorry it's a jar. I'm all flustered.

[westofyou]

So I forgave, but will never forget.

I've been with my wife for 18 years, the we dated she lived in Oxford and I in Berkeley/Santa Cruz. We both dated other people for a brief period, I instigated it, because I'm an idiot.

We still talk about it to this day.

It has more lives then a Terminator.

[letsgojunior]

Halleluyah! Pounding the bottom worked. WoY is my new personal hero.

[westofyou]

When you run a lunch counter and there is 60 guys yelling out hot dog orders you have to get that apple juice opened quick.

[Roy Tucker]

Halleluyah! Pounding the bottom worked. WoY is my new personal hero.
Next time you see one in the store, get one of those super grabber rubber mat jar opener thingies. Get 2, one for the lid, one for the jar.

I believe I could twist the chrome off a trailer hitch with one of those things.

[airalex]

Pound the bottom then.

Thats a good move :thumbup:

[RFS62]

It's pretty amazing, the things you go through in your life.

Just sayin'.

For a second there, I thought it was a can of whoop ass that you were trying to open to use on your professor. ;)

You're absolutely right.
