Nonek Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Enjoy feline girth friend. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

Woldan Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 I bought a gumshield for lifting. When you have something to bite on really hard you are stronger, like clenching your fist. IMportant when doing max weight lifts. You can do that without a gumshield but its not so effective and the danger of ruining your teeth is very high.

Azdeus Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Sounds like a solid plan, I've been thinking about getting one for nighttime use. I noticed I'vebeen grinding my teeth alot since I got "promoted".

I noticed I'vebeen grinding my teeth alot since I got "promoted". I suffer from the same problem, but I would not recommend those for prolonged use, they're big and tough but too uncomfortable for the night. I think we would need one custom made from the the dentist for medical use. Edited September 8, 2016 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Azdeus Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 You're probably right, I'm not to keen on going to the dentists here though, their prices are insane. They're a bloody cartell, I tell you. It might be worth it though, because I've damaged another tooth. Then again, I could use a pair of those for those times at work when I really want to bite someones head off Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Enoch Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 We took the kids to the Udvar-Hazy Center last weekend. It's basically where they put all the stuff they can't fit in the Air & Space museum on the Mall, including the Space Shuttle Discovery. I figured that all the planes and rockets would be a big hit with the 2.5-year-old. He saw the first one hanging from the ceiling as we walked in and immediately complained that "It's not on!" Apparently, it's not enough to see a giant hangar filled with historic planes, helicopters, rockets, and spacecraft-- he needs to see them in operation. (Luckily, the cafeteria there has a nice view of the approach to the runway at nearby Dulles Airport, so he did get to see some planes go by rather close.) Next time, I guess we're going to Gravelly Point. 2

I also suggest investing in a straightjacket, it makes a great, sensible combo with the muzzle. Kidding aside, yeah, dentists are outrageously expensive here too, at least the stuff that isn't covered by our health care system. I've heard they're make the most money per hour in the entire health business. 1 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Guard Dog Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 You know it's a terrible thing to realize someone you love has grown old and is slowing down. I worked from home today and this morning I walked down to get the paper. As usual the dogs went with me. But for the first time ever Tommy had to stop and rest on the way back. It's a half mile walk round trip. I sat down next to him under a big pine tree with his head on my lap and realized for the first time how gray his muzzle and neck are getting. A year ago I switched him to senior dog food and he's been on glucosamine supplements for a while now. But he's eleven years old now and maybe it's catching up with him. 1 "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

Gorgon Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Worst part about having dogs, still everything has a beginning and an end. I've had three and a lot of good memories of them. 2 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
ShadySands Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 My grandpa (a young Air Force pilot in my profile photo) never had a dog the last 15 or so years of his life because even though he really loved them and missed having them he said he couldn't bear to lose another one. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Guard Dog Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I've had many over the years. I loved every one of them, watched them pass on and think about all of them often. But Tommy is the only one I had since he was a puppy. He was eight weeks old when we agreed to foster him. He couldn't stay in his first foster home because he had Demodex, a type of mange. We treated him and within a hear he had a full shiny coat. He was supposed to go up for adoption but I just couldn't give him up. He was my best friend by that time. After two broken marriages, four career changes, two houses in two states, and many other changes in fortune along the way he still is. I don't mean to sound sad though. He's got a lot of gas left in the tank I think. Now my other dog Sunny... I'm going to kill that one! Or so I tell her. It's an empty threat. 2 "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
ManifestedISO Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 The owner says these two dogs I met over the week are a mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Boxer, but, they have squat legs under barrel-esque chests. And mean, overly protective, needy, unwilling to trust strangers after an extended introduction--even to those of us humans with canine in our blood. Disappointing, but I don't fault the animals. Today I did it again, went to the comic shop and fell in love with the goth girl at the counter. All Stop. On Screen.
Hurlshort Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 I took my dog in for neutering a couple days ago. He seems pretty upset about it. They also gave me a cone to keep him away from the stitches. They kept calling it an e-cone, and I have no idea why. I thought it was called the cone of shame. He's recovering well though.
PK htiw klaw eriF Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I had a very tough half-day at work and did some class work. Went to a woman's house after I got cleaned up and things initially went very well but she froze up after we started moving forward. This is the second time in a week and I'm not sure if it's me or just bad luck.

Gfted1 Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Went fishing yesterday and caught a catfish. Ive apparently been accepted by the other fishing spot regulars, as there is an elderly Chinese couple (who dont speak a single word of English) that are always there and now she spontaneously brings me freshly caught minnow bait to use. I had to bust out Google translate to see how to say "thank you" in Chinese, and I probably mispronounced it, but she smiled at the effort. 4 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

Woldan Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Started to harvest my first chili. Ghost peppers, I tried them. With those evil things you can wake up coma patients. They're several leagues above the hottest Habaneros! The amazing thing is though, they're still tasty.

Gfted1 Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 How was the catfish? Fillet & pan fry? Nah, I just catch and release unless its an outstanding specimen. This one was just a ~14" juvenile. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

They're several leagues above the hottest Habaneros! The amazing thing is though, they're still tasty. I've never had the opportunity to try a ghost pepper. Habaneros from a little Asian market are still the hottest I've had...but I don't like the taste of them at all. Sadly, I think Jalapenos taste way better, but Jalapenos only very rarely have even a little real heat, and it's very random when they do.

Malcador Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Went with my mom to hang out with a friend of hers she's had for 50 years. Kind of cool to have a friend that long. She's up for major surgery soon so was good to hang out with her. Even if she and my mom talk an amazing about of BS, but that is old ladies for you. Why has elegance found so little following?
