Gromnir Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 So the wife took the early shift today, leaving me to pack the youngin' up and take him to daycare. (They don't open until 7:30, so we stagger our workdays a bit-- the early shift parent gets to pick him up in the afternoon.) We've got a little cooler bag that we use for transporting the bottles that they feed him during the day, into which we toss an ordinary small ice pack. (The daycare facility is just over a mile away by foot/stroller.) Apparently, when I got that ice pack this morning, I failed to completely close the freezer door. It's one of those drawer-style doors on a relatively new bottom-freezer fridge, so it doesn't just swing closed on its own. This evening, we consequently found all of our stuff thawed and a large puddle on the floor. Not fun. condolences. were you at least the first to discover the new reflecting pool in your kitchen? no doubt mrs. enoch is the most kindest and understanding woman in the world, but in our experience there is a tactical advantage to discovering your own blunders before your significant other does so.

HA! Good Fun! Mixed results there. I was the party to discover the problem, but I was actually on the phone with her when I did. So she shared the surprise and anger of discovery, but was spared the chore of cleaning it all up. 1
Raithe Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Back from tonights workout. Strength exercises, a bit of core work, followed by a run with sprint intervals... Okay, now I need tea, food and collapse. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Malcador Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Harassed by kids ringing my doorbell asking for money for their soccer, basketball team or camp or trying to hock newspapers to me. Bah damn summer. But got good pizza today and watched our boozehound junkie mayor cry so that compensated. Why has elegance found so little following?

Malcador Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Nah he's back from rehab, is cured, seen the light. Was on TV saying how his "disease" made him be a bigot and act stupidly and how he's taking sobriety one day at a time, etc. This crap will fly with lots of idiots who have pity or empathy for this trash, and he'll ge re-elected. Was hoping some interviewer would smash him to the point of tears, but alas, can't get everything. Why has elegance found so little following?

Blarghagh Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Went shopping with my girlfriend. Dear god help me, what have I done. Steam sale is nothing compared to this punch in the wallet!

Malcador Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Lol, good one Mal. Was either that or a link to a whipcrack youtube clip. But it's easy enough to talk them out of stuff, if they refuse then obstinate refusal wins out. Or worst case you end up in a fight and that can be fun as well.

It's a bit twisty, but it does have that interesting side to it. Having to keep things separate to represent the different bodymods you might end up in.

Having to keep things separate to represent the different bodymods you might end up in. The setting is great, the mechanics just a bit too much.... I had trouble allocating the 300 knowledge skill points with a dedicated scientist character. Can't even imagine how troublesome it must be for a non-intellectual type... Edit: then again, the overabundance of points has allowed me to create a raven who plays violin, which is a mental image I find fairly entertaining.

Blarghagh Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Gave up on chairs in favour of stools, excercise balls and standing today. Bad sitting posture combined with a bit too sedentary lifestyle was causing backpains and weakening my core muscles and I just never managed to catch myself before slipping into that posture again whenever I was focusing on work. I feel a lot more energetic already.
Guard Dog Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I made a dry rub and prepped a standing rib roast for smoking last night. I let it sit overnight in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. I got up this morning a 4 AM and put it in the smoker and went back to bed. I just got back up and added more wood chips. It smells so f-----g good! It's going to be a long 12 hours waiting for that bad boy! 3 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Walsingham Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 You know you can turn off the sound altogether on a smartphone and leave vibrate on. It's what I do. Firstly I do not and am resolved to never own a smart phone. I have a waterproof, thump resistant box that makes phonecalls and sends texts. If I need to know something off the internet then I simply ring a sedentary nerd and ask them to look it up. Secondly it is already on vibrate. I only use the ringtones for setting alarms. 1 "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Labadal Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Finally football back on TV. Watched Germany beat France. All according to keikaku, obviously. Now going to watch Colombia beat Brazil. Alternatively, watch Brazil win with luck.
