Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

i felt that. pix or vid would be nice!! :D
I can't take pictures of clients, would totally get canned and banned.

However, it is kind of a nice funny thought to think of you just looking up all of a sudden like you heard a dog whistle or something. ;)

Bachelor parties aren't good for livers
Details and pictures Lad. Have you washed off all of the glitter from the strippers yet?? ;)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

Good Morning Lodge.

MNS, did you get your skates done yet?

ETA: Are you getting ready for Bidlyn's bash? Is that why you need the skates ready?

Hey people.

Got a bunch of work done on the spare bedroom we're re-doing. New carpet done, trim done, all painting done. Next step is new outlet cover plates, and closet stuff. We still need to paint the closet, put trim in the closet, install a new shelf and rod in the closet. After that, install the door and closet doors, a little more trim and it will be completely done. Then I think we're moving on to another bathroom. Oh joy.

Hard to fathom I'm getting married on Saturday...


The day we have waited for months for is almost here.

You're going to the wrong bachelor parties if cameras are allowed...
Cameras are allowed prior to the event only, to show who was there. After things get going, if a camera comes out ever other guy at the party is legally allowed to nut shot the offender, punch or kick and no blocking otherwise it's two.

I looked at the time, the Yawn and thought- holy cow RFAlph is at it early, even for him!

Congrats on the upcoming nupitals, the rest of you bring aspirin and hydration.

Scarlet- glad your surgery went well.

Bonfires are good.

Back at home after a week of drive-cation.. What I learned in the last week-

I could not be a long distance truck driver or a nomad. We weren't in one place longer than 2 days and a few we were only there less than 24 hrs. I have travelled like this since I was a little kid. I am good at being efficient, packing well and organizing things but I would rather vegetate for longer than a few days.

If you are on the interstate, OH, IN, PA and upper NY all look the same. Corn, Soy, lots of trucks on the hwy.

When you drive west through NY, PA and Ohio you get signs inviting you to SIN (Lion ADULT Books and toys) and to REPENT (various hand made signs and billboards). On the way East- only Bookstore signs. If you are heading east does that mean you are beyond redemption? I find this deliciously ironic- We don't have adult book store signs here in MA, supposedly the bastion of lasciviousness.

The Fingerlakes Region is beautiful but altho you can see the H2O, there aren't many public places to swim in the lake. Lake Seneca had one public beach (35 mi long lake) and that was closed for the Italian Festival.

Buy gas in OH as that was the cheapest place. You can get a shower in those truck stops too but you need to take a number.

17 yr old kids who are car crazy do very well when the place you are staying is also the place the Porsche and Lotus clubs are meeting to rally. They can also see various types of cars across an 8 lane hwy but not see they have spread their laundry over the path to the bathroom in the hotel room.

It is not wise to try to keep up with a 17 yr old fairly elite athlete when trying to hike 2.5 miles up a gorge that has multiple steps and requires you be somewhat of a Billy goat.

Very glad to be home. :)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

So, I'm recuperating here at my parents' house the last few days. My parents are way to into game shows and judge shows. As much as it's been nice to be waited on (given that I need to stay off my foot), I don't know how much more I can take. My mom dvrs them. Judge Judy, Millionaire, Family Feud, the list goes on and on.
It could be worse... you could be at my house watching Food Network and Cooking Channel most of the time. "Chopped" is appointment viewing.

Steve Harvey is either the best possible host of Family Feud or the worst possible host of Family Feud. I'm not sure which.

Although the "freak out at the family over a raunchy answer, then act shocked when it's on the board" schtick is getting predictable.

/now you've done it, you're going to get me and Flagdude in here and we'll have to spend the weekend scrubbing the geek juice from the walls again
Richard Dawson was the best host of Family Feud. Steve Harvey ranks third or fourth...

Good morning Lodge. Back at work! Oh joy.
Yay!

Good night, Lodge.

Good Morning, Lodge!

Nice, lazy weekend. Now back to the grind. These tech drawings are going to drive me insane.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

Richard Dawson was the best host of Family Feud. Steve Harvey ranks third or fourth...
Richard Dawson (1976-1985, 1994-1995)
Ray Combs (1988-1994)
Louie Anderson (1999-2002)
Richard Karn (2002-2006)
John O'Hurley (2006-2010)
Steve Harvey (2010-present)

There is all of the hosts. Ive only watched episodes with 5 of them. Its easy to say that Richard Karn was the WORST for me.

I'd put Harvey 2nd on the list of ones i've seen (Dawson, Harvey, Combs, Anderson, Karn).

John O'Hurley is the guy who was Elaine's boss on Seinfeld right?

Been rearranging a few things at the house here, switching bedrooms around and almost about done with getting my new bedroom all set up. Really just need to find a new ceiling fan, and maybe a bookshelf and or desk so that I've got a spot to put all of my crap. Then there's reorganizing my crap to know where it all is, and pitching out the crap I don't need or want anymore.

Hard to fathom I'm getting married on Saturday...

Still not too late to run, but I would wager you would never be able to enjoy a college hockey game ever again, even if you was in the Witness Protection Program. You're DOOMED!!!! ;)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

I've been looking into changing TV providers again, because my Comcast bill is going to be going up because my 1st year cheap rate is over. Also, I need to get internet in the house, with the girlfriend moving in, it just won't work to use my cell phone anymore.

I called Comcast late last week to see what offers they have, to get internet and TV. I get told, there isn't anything bundling those 2 together, I'd need to get a 3rd service and do their triple play....ok, whatever. They have a security system that counts as a part of the triple play that wouldn't be too bad of an idea. So I'm told that I can contract for 3 years, TV, Internet and Security for $99/month for year 1, $119/month for year 2, and $139/month for year 3. I told the lady that I want 2 rooms, DVR, and the same programming that I am getting now. I figured, that is not too bad of a deal.

I called Dish Network, to see what they offer. They have TV and internet, at considerably less than Comcast, but the internet is through the dish, so they have to limit the amount of data, and it won't work for streaming Netflix. For TV only, they're way cheaper than Comcast. So despite my previous anger with Dish, I was considering them, but I would still have to go through Comcast for internet which sucks.

I decided to just go with Comcast, because with it all bundled together, it ended up being a little cheaper than Dish TV + Comcast Internet over the 3 years of service that was required by Comcast, and I wouldn't have to deal with having 2 different service providers. I called Comcast this morning to make the change, and get a time setup for installation. The new guy I talked to said that the quote I was given was wrong, that quote is for basic cable, none of the stuff I wanted was included, no HD, no DVR, only one room. With all of that included, it was $30/month more than I was quoted. I told him that I couldn't sign up for that now, I'd have to reevaluate my other options.

I did a calculation over the 3 years, and it turns out it is now cheaper, by almost $500 to go with Dish TV and Comcast Internet. This includes the fact that Comcast jacks up the internet charges for non-TV customers, and includes the high price for Dish Network after the 1st year introductary offer is over. I don't get the security, but I don't really care, because from how it was described to me it was a POS cracker jack box security system anyway. AND apparently Dish is going to give me a free IPad 2, which I don't know if I'll use. Maybe I can trade it for an Android tablet.

ETA: Are you getting ready for Bidlyn's bash? Is that why you need the skates ready?
No, I have not gotten it done yet, and yes it is for the Biddlyn wedding. I haven't sharpened them in a few years (haven't skated enough), but I checked them and they were getting pretty dull.

John O'Hurley is the guy who was Elaine's boss on Seinfeld right?
Yes, he was J. Peterman...great character.
