For the married men and fathers of the board.....
Have you ever day-dreamed of life as a bachelor, or what it would be like if you were solo for a bit?
My wife took the kids to visit her sister this weekend. Thursday night - tomorrow (Monday) morning. I haven't been alone in my own house for this long in over 6 years.
Long story short, you watch John Wick and drink 16 beers - and that's your day.
I also watched The Howling, Predator, Caddyshack, Fletch, Best of the Best, Sniper, The Burbs, , The Great Outdoors, and Career Opportunities.
I tried watching Uncle Buck twice and fell asleep both times.
I also ate a cheesecake. A whole one.

Told a guy today that both his left and right blinkers weren't working. .....I came very close to taking a beatdown.
Sarcasm used with strangers = not good.
I just can't help myself.

I've spent what seems like an entire lifetime embracing that I'll die....and not so much time embracing being alive.
I gotta work on that mindset.

Ohhhh..... .....you know I now think I completely misunderstood the commercial. I thought they were saying money she saved while at college and not money saved by her family (maybe her too) for college.
Your best post ever. All that stuff you mentioned is precisely why I never had a wife or kids.
:basketball:
Ummmm... forbidden doughnuts.
Sitting on my deck with a coffee and BB gun shooting at squirrels on the bird feeder.
Wish I had doughnuts.
I was away for a 3 day weekend, did a lot of fun things but I didn't have 1 decent cup of coffee the entire time.
Just got home and made a cup of Caza Trail french roast in my Kuerig. Best coffee ever.

Pretty sure the Green Mountain brand is owned by Kuerig (or was until recently). I watched their product get roasted and bagged at a large Starbucks roasting plant where I proudly played a large part in the (electrical) installation of 5 story roasters and long packaging lines.
Point being...some of that brand is produced by Starbucks. I don't drink coffee so I can't speak of the bean quality though. Rumor was that it was a requirement for Starbucks to roast their coffee for the rights to produce k-cups.
I've tried a lot of coffees and I've found a few I like...........emeril bold, caribou coffee, and especially the above mentioned caza trail bold or french roast.
Do Not Call lists federal and at the state level just don't work.
The main culprit, imo, is that every time we sign up for something (website, credit card....any type of account that you click or sign agreeing to terms and conditions) we volunteer to allow that company, one of its sister companies, or a third party who purchases your info the RIGHT to bug the crap out of us.
It was a good try though

Gonna get briefly political here...
...legal immigrants are not trash and certainly should be more welcome in our country than some of crap citizens that spend a lifetime abusing welfare programs.
I guess I'd refer to it as cleaning out our garage before bitching about a new neighbor.

Vent night I guess...
I hate going to bed because I'll be waking to go to work (despite actually loving my job) not feeling rested...and going to work without enough sleep sucks.
Somehow I can deal with the hangovers though..... ...sleep....must get sleep...

Well look...we actually subscribe to at least two of the same sites. If you're a member of a CFNM site it just might make for a trifecta.
My current car is the a '13 Taurus SHO (which I like/love but understand many don't) that I might be willing to trade in for a Kia Stinger.
....and the Kia...
I'm Making red beans and rice in the crock pot. I make them the creole way with ham and andouille sausage.
I used brown rice because its more earthy and goes better with the beans and meat.

To fully understand your post I need to Google both 'creole and andouille'.
Pet Peve:
Hate when people ( family members ) feel the need to buy souvenir gifts when on trips abroad. Inevitably, I end up getting a coffee mug from the place they visit. Not much thought behind the purchase other than being thought of is nice in and of itself, I suppose. However, I find it boorish to buy a " souvenir " that is made in China. To have a Mug that says Maine or Iceland or whatever other place in the world and know that is was made in China is off putting.
Ok, ok, I can see where this makes me sound like a ungrateful prick, but a souvenir, a real souvenir, would be something from the area of the world one is visiting. I would rather have a rock, which costs nothing, than a trinket bought out of a catalog from a " souvenir "
company.
Btw, I'm drinking my Caribou Coffee from my WVU mug that was made in West Virginia...........took my wife many years to find one.
To add: The pressure to hold onto the coffee mug and then remember to use it when offending family members visit is also troublesome.

Just tell them basically what you wrote in this thread. Seriously.
Yes, some might initially take offense because of your honesty.....but imagine the boulders you'll get mailed to you (C.O.D. for shipping).
....like anybody knows what C.O.D. is anymore...
Have a fishing buddy that used COD forever...........he's bad with money and could never get a credit card. He now uses a bank debit visa and is still bad with money.
See how I used the play on words...........fishing C.O.D <~> COD haha I'm so clever sometimes.
Hey jackass....just went to make buttered toast coated in sugar snack and guess what...? You didn't get bread either.
You got milk...so you only failed on two of the three most basic grocery items. Good job.
Didn't you delete an earlier question to me in another thread ?
...anyway...the answer is a jackass who didn't purchase any on the last trip to Walmart. I mean...who doesn't have bread either?
God I love poached eggs. Don't eat them that often (not a breakfast person)....but I love them.
Edit: ...but if you're a breakfast person and ever near Reading, PA the Tomcat Cafe is the shit. Awesome really. It's Soup Nazi like....you can't (don't even try) change an order that's on the menu...but it's f'n great.

I don't remember deleting a question to you, but its quite possible I did. I delete many messages that I read after I post them and don't like what I wrote for one reason or another. I should proof read more before I post.
With ya there. I'm the editing/delete champ.
By the way...I edited my previous post...lol.
