The Mrs. is going out of the country for work for a couple of weeks. We have a plan in place in which I'll get home around 5:15, after working my 12 hour shift, and we can leave the house by 6 for the drive to Houston to stay in a hotel so she can fly out in the morning. 

I get home, shit, shower, shave and get dressed and am standing at the door at 6:00pm. I also took out the upstairs trash, fed her cats, gave the dog food and fresh water and loaded the car.

Her? She left work 3 hours early to pack and we leave 40 minutes late.

Not a big deal. Whatever. 

Stop for a quick bite and I let her drive while I navigate as I'm starting to get sleepy and we are only 30 minutes from the hotel anyway. We're 4 minutes out when she tells me that I need to close the navigation app and look for her booking app so we call find the hotel as she actually navigated us to the airport, instead of the hotel. Started to get pissed but i don't say a word. Start digging through her app looking for the hotel reservation.

Can't find it. 

She tells me to look in another app. Still no hotel. 

Finally I close her shit out and pull out my phone. Find the hotel address in seconds and gets us back on track after having her bust a u-turn. 

We pull into the parking so she can spend 10 minutes rifling through her bags for her "special" brush. Whatever the fuck that is. Finds brush seems head inside. 

Anyone care to guess what happens when we get to the counter?

You guessed it. No fucking reservation!

Fuck my life.

 

Edit: Oh and she still has yet to check into her flight. Smh

Fuck all y'all. For the grill frozen patties are great. They hold their shape and cook more evenly and uniformly than handmade meat clods. Much easier to manage when you are cooking for more than 3-4 people. 


Nothing wrong with them.

We need to replace our kitchen faucet set and can't find a direct replacement.  We have a girl who is an interior designer/decorator that's worked on the house before,  so I told my wife to get her to look at it and come up with a replacement that would look appropriate and fit in the space.  (My fucking fault here)

I came home last week to the same faucet........and 4 pages of sketches converting our bedroom/bath and an adjacent guest room/bath into one master suite with sitting room, shoe closet, makeup counter...all that bullshit.  

All I wanted was a glass of water from the faucet.

Yeah-  If where my head hits the pillow at night is in question......I'm making the reservations.

I may have a kitchen faucet replacement that'll cost me $100k, but I'm always sure of where I have a place to sleep.

Somewhere there's a hotel that just charged you for not showing up.  It might be in her destination city, or it could be in your hometown, but probably not in Houston.

Or it's in Houston, Tennessee.

So much this.  I've traveled enough in my career to make sure these logistics points are totally covered before I depart.

She just texted me:

Her:  Who the hell wants to sit out in the crappie weather for a football game?

Me: Yeah, it sure is fishy..

Her: ?

Me: I'll bring a pole and some jigs.

Her: Why are you doing this?

[Bill]  Ummm, yeah, we're goona need you to go ahead and give us an update on how this all plays out.

Oh, and if you could go ahead and send us some pics, that'd be great, okay? [/Lumberg]

We’ve only been in the area a short while and had agreed we’d not do anything major to the house until we decided how we liked living here.

That  agreement was presumably forgotten  by one party..... but not I.  For now those plans go in the drawer......for now..

How is "generic Miracle Whip" labeled?

"Fake, Fake Mayonnaise"

How do you distinguish between fake mayonnaise and fake Miracle Whip? "Miracle Whip" is copyrighted so they can't call it that on the label.

"Vile, Disgusting Shit"

Many people would say the same thing about mayonnaise.

But at least it isn't something disgusting trying to be something else that some find disgusting.

 

Yeah, I am extremely bored. Sitting in my vehicle at my 2 oldest boys' high school football game. Raining a lot here in the STL area. 2 minutes left in 1st quarter when they go into weather delay for lightning. 30 minutes pass and they start to come back out. About half the team is out and there is another strike. Everybody back in. At this point I am just waiting for them to call it so I can take them home. Getting surlier and surlier with every passing minute.

I was waiting in the lobby of a hotel one night when a guy comes in to check in. They go round and round and finally get it sorted out. He had wanted to check in on the 8th for 3 nights. He booked it for 80 nights starting on the third of the month. All on his debit card. Dumbass.

No HFCS. It might be better than Miracle Whip. Although that residue on the top of the jar looks kind of thin. Were sugar and vinegar listed as two of the top three or four ingredients?

the residue under the jar is disgusting.
From some shit my kids put in there without a lid. My wife thinks she's going to get them to clean the entire fridge this weekend. We'll see.

Miracle Whip: made from mistakes & eggs

It's just mayonnaise with extra sugar and vinegar and some additional flavorings like mustard powder. It's like mayo with an added gastrique.

My wife went down to SA yesterday to have lunch with some of relatives from Nebraska who were there for the weekend.

She called me before she came back...

"We're at a BBQ place, do you want me to bring you back anything?"

"Where are you?"

"A place called Bill Miller."

"WHHHAAAAATTTT!?!?!?!?"

"They wanted BBQ.  Do you want me to bring you some ribs or anything?"

<hangs up phone>

Hangs up phone and immediately calls a divorce attorney, I hope.

If they wanted Mexican food, she would have taken them to Taco Bell, right?
