  1. A little background. I'm 50, have a relatively youthful face, and a head full of grey / white hair. So I went to our LA office. I don't have a key, so need to sign in at the security desk. The 2 guys at the security desk look up and start talking about my hair. Amongst the comments: "Damn, that's some good looking hair" Thanks? "Do you dye it or is it natural?" It's natural. "Have you ever gotten compliments?" Yeah, over the years. "Any from young women? Because I bet they'll your hair." Not really, no sugar babies have approached me to be their daddy. "Aw man, you need to step up your game with the young ladies." My wife will kill me if I stepped up anything. Thought that was a funny exchange, especially the last parts. I'm ugly, maybe a 5 on good day, but I got my hair going on for me. Which is nice.
  2. Any opinion on smart toilets? My wife wants a non-so-cheap Woodbridge or Horo. For the price I’d rather get a tried and true Toto toilet and bidet seat. It won’t looks as nice, but there is no history on these brands and who knows how reliable they are.
  3. Where did Vance learn to tie a tie? I did a better job when I was in elementary school. School uniform holla. Walz got it right. That dimple is
  4. Is that far from Ukraine? Because it seems like Bernaul is far from Ukraine.
  5. BTW, this was a REPLACEMENT because the contents of the first box were damaged. I chatted with someone on Amazon and they said to dump everything and they'll credit my account. No need to send back.
  6. Was not expecting that and I actually LOLed.
  7. When everyone in the band / worship team / whatever is hitting their groove and the feeling of pure joy that is impossible to replicate. It’s up there with the first nervous kiss with my wife, holding my kids for the first time after they were born. It’s just truly magical.
  8. How is the person who shipped this box still employed?
  9. The emu story and Christmas "I put his fat ass up there" story are neck and neck.
  10. TIL that trans people can also become saints. Saint Michael, or more appropriately Saint Michelle, was clearly born a man with a Polish potato farmer physique, but went on to get facial reconstruction surgery to make it for fem and also grew out his/her golden locks. Good for you Catholic Church for recognizing people’s accomplishments without letting their birth gender get in the way.
  11. We were playing Scrabble and I put down "CAW" Me: That's 3+1+4 points, double word score, so 16. Wife: Is that a real word? 🙄 Boy: Yeah, in Spanish it means poop, as in my sister is a big caw caw.
  12. People changing lanes on the freeway at full speed. I drive fast, but am a grandpa when changing lanes because I'm always worried someone will change into the same lane as me. Just to confirm my paranoia, I was merging from the slow lane to the middle lane, when a full size pickup truck came blazing out of the HOV lane, crossed 3 lanes of traffic and out the exit. I had to slam on my brakes and swerve back into the slow lane or else we would have collided. Maybe 5 minutes later, I was ready to exit the freeway into downtown LA. Let's just say the highway design in DTLA makes I-35 look genius - the 2 right lanes are for cars trying to get onto and off the freeway. Everyone is trying to merge safely, but then this woman cuts into my lane at full speed, then slams on her brakes because there's nowhere for her to go. Again, I had to swerve to avoid another accident
  13. My 12 YO computer is on the fritz. Sometimes the screen comes on, sometimes it says nope, not today. I'm eyeing a gaming machine even though I only play Battlefield a few times a month. Cost probably $850. My Samsung fridge has been buzzing loudly, and there is a puddle of water every few days. The repair person said the drains are clogged and he can fix it for $280, but not to do it, because the compressor is about to go. I'm ordering a new one this weekend which will cost at least $1,300. The garage door opener on the 2x door shit the bed on Monday. The guy installed a new opener today for $850. The opener on the other 1x door broke suspiciously while he was here. So that's another $800. Add that to the bathroom renovation that's going to start on Monday... October is going to be an expensive month.
  14. Gold to silver ratio since I first bought precious metals. Still looking to trade more silver for gold in the near future. The timing could probably be better, but it's better than January.
  15. Can we all agree that this guy should be president in 2033?
  16. Wet countertops. A bit less trivial - people who don't take care of office, and do things they wouldn't do at home. E.g. we've been in our brand new, beautiful office space for less than 2 months, there are already coffee stains on the countertops that won't come out. It's partly a poor choice of material, but it's also people spilling coffee and not wiping it off. The microwaves are disgusting even though we have food covers, and reminders in the microwave to cover your food. And I've seen people just brush crumbs off the table onto the floor. Shit that they wouldn't do at home (hopefully), but they do at the office. Makes no sense and pisses me off.
  17. Or having the same personality traits as your wife.
  18. Several pages late to the conversation of Harris courting the Mormons… Most of the Mormons I’ve met, and there are plenty in Southern California, are really nice, solid characters, but can’t bring themselves to vote for democrats because of the abortion issue. The ultimate message the Harris campaign should be, “Fine, don’t vote for me, but don’t vote for that sorry excuse for a shitstain either.”
  19. Didn't read The Royal We's last post. Delete post, ban user.
  20. The singing on Three Days was also... wow. I listened to a few other parts and he was flat almost everywhere.
  21. So in addition to ju jitsu, my boy has been bitten by the chess bug. Once he’s hit his daily limit on Roblox, he’s on to YouTube watching chess videos or on chess.com playing other people. I’ve been playing with him for about a year and he’s been getting better and better to the point that he’s winning at least 2/3 of the time. (And yeah I suck).
