When did nick nolte start playing the president

They always say be kind to people because you don’t know what battles they’re fighting. Except for me - one look at my yard and you know what battle I’m fighting. Nutsedge. My battle is nutsedge.

You know vacation is going great when I finally snap and yell “will you just STOP!!” to the bee that kept pestering me.

If you met on the internet, then you intermet

Unemployed surprise #23

I can’t stand coffee, but I’ve been in more coffee shops for networking & pre-interview meetings these past 2 months than i have in the rest of my entire adult life.

Here for the answer to this one, especially.

Yes, exactly!

Tonight I discovered that if I were ever to snap, it wouldn’t be due to something like road rage or unnecessary rudeness or any of the “normal” reasons.

If I just lose it one day, you can bet it was because someone was mumbling.

We’re not even tiny over here!! one is a pre-teen terrorist, the other is just a belligerent 2nd grader with very strange Lunchtime requests. If they were tiny I could tolerate it.

Me: okay, ham sandwiches for lunch tomorrow.

My kids: aw man! We just had peanut butter sandwiches last week! Can’t we have cold hotdogs instead?!

Me: you literally had summer sausage and crackers today

Kids: yeah, but that’s different!

I’ll buy the first copy!

Thanks. It’s weird - nearly 11 years there and I’m not as sad as I would have thought. Of course, it might be shock and anger masking the sadness. I really just don’t wanna have to find a new job - it’s gonna be so much work.

Welp. Some days you go to work with a job and you come home without one.

Anyone looking to hire a LEGO man to do some design and architecture, let me know.

Thank you. Now I suppose I oughta drop some words around this place more often!

You know who else had an incredible journey? Chance, sassy and shadow.

Why not both? That’s how it happens in our house!

The radio: here, listen to this -

Tears In Heaven (Eric Clapton)
Blackbird (the Beatles)
Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Israel Kamakawiwo’ole)

I hate when I send an email to someone and check it off my to do list and then they write me back???? No, I DID it. Don’t you see.

Weekend construction follow up - table complete. Choice of finish TBD

Asked 8 what he wanted to do for boys night (the ladies were off to a play at the high school) and after thinking a bit, he looked me in the face and said “I want to build a table”

Okay Bob Vila, let’s build a table then.

I’ve not seen anybody die of embarrassment as quickly as my 12yo when her grandpa asked loudly, in a busy restaurant, if she was “one of those Twisties” while pointing to her bracelet.

not sure. all this DNA test tells me is I’m 100% THAT bitch.

Damn, this poll is so smooth

We want the phonk.
Give up the phonk.

Their cover of Pour Some Sugar on Me really hits differently.

First you have to start twirling your lil drum thing, THEN he’ll fight for your honor.

Yes! “Adorable” grossness. Let’s say poo or pee or fart or booger or whatever and couch it in some mediocre illustrations with some clever rhymes, but let’s also still expect children to keep potty humor to a minimum.

Chili and bandit def. need to establish boundaries & maybe stop giving in so much. That being said, I don’t think my children are any worse for watching it. We love the show - I have laughed and occasionally cried, but I never feel bad having watched an episode. Except unicorse. I hate that guy.

Snowplows in my area do their job about as effectively as my kids clean the house. “Oh, this was 3 lanes? How about 3/4 of a lane instead?”
