  1. Good thing you'll only have to listen to it for 2 years before it breaks and you vow never to get another Samsung.
  2. @Neikea has made it to Facebook?
  3. I bet a few of them speak jive.
  4. That's why I call myself Superhero, because I did it "the way it is supposed to be done". Took a long ass time, but it's worth it. I wish I could have had family and friends at my citizen ceremony. But this was in LA, and there were probably over 1,000 people being sworn in. Yes. Make the wall taller, but the gate wider. Allow people who abide by the laws, bring skills and willingness to work (even seasonal farm workers) into the country. And willingness to work, and integrate into American society.
  5. Is there a worse teammate than Ocon? I mean, other than Lance Stroll.
  6. Not sure if it belongs here, but it’s a holy shit to me
  7. At the local Target parking lot, it’s A, C, B.
  8. Saw a documentary a few years ago about the "Wind Phone". Just a simple telephone booth with a disconnected telephone. It became a place for people to call their lost loved one. I couldn't find the entire documentary, but here's a short clip. I haven't lost anyone significant in my life, but every time I see this clip, I fucking choke up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_phone
  9. How did you not puke 15 times per day? Did you carry around a Dramamine IV drip?
  10. I played Scrabble with my wife and kids yesterday. We've never played as a family because my son is in 3rd grade and we thought he'd be at a disadvantage. Little shit came in with ZAP (10+1+3), and with a triple word multiplier, got 42 points. I helped him a bit later on, and may or may not have traded a few tiles with him. But he came in at a solid 172 points, beating out mom and older sister.
  11. My daughter just turned 12, so I’m a few years ahead of you in terms of daughter wanting to spend more time with her friends than me. But even though I got really mad at her in the morning because she wasn’t getting ready, during the evening rally (where all the “tribes” get together), she leaned her head on my shoulder. I loved it… and hated myself for being so hard on her in the morning.
  12. Spent the day at a camp with a bunch of dads I've met through a daddy-daughter group. Ate some GREAT food, drank some good beer and whisky, played cornhole, and sat by a fire chatting with friends I've made over the years. It's a bittersweet moment because my daughter and her friends are in their teens and slowly losing interest, and this may be one of the few times remaining that I get to hang out with these dads, but I'll power on with the dad-son group with some of the same dads.
  13. I'm lacking imagination, but my car is at 50,600 miles. What' the next significant milestone that I should be documenting?
  14. My condolences. Miami can get flattened by a class 10 hurricane and I would cheer for Mother Nature.
  15. I would like to see Marissa Tomei from the Wrestler in my bedroom.
  16. After almost 9 years in this house, my wife still can’t figure out which switch is for which light. When she gets to a bank of 2 or 3 switches, she’ll sometimes turn all of them on-off-on until she gets the light she wants and turns off the others. Almost 9 years…
  17. Impressive! But you know who else was good at numbers?
