Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

On a lighter note than dysfunctional families - I went to a youth soccer game last night where both teams cheered at the end of the game. :)

Boys U11 State tourney game, Edina Strikers vs St. Croix Valley. Bunch of the kids on the Edina team are friends of my kid. It was the final game of pool play and Edina only needed to score one goal to win the pool and go to State finals tonight. SCV scored first but late in the first half one got through the keeper's legs and dribbled across the goal line. SCV controlled the game and won 3-2 and cheered loudly over winning the final game of their season, after a moment's delay, the Edina boys realized they would play again tonight for the crown and they cheered too. :)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

Afternoon lodgers, no clue when we'll be leaving, but it looks like the unload has been going a bit slow, so who knows. I definitely slacked off here in trying to get some much needed work done on my school project, but I still have 5 days or so... heh. I just need to do everything I can't do at home (tracings of stuff, other questions I can't answer on my own, etc), so hopefully I'll be alright still.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

Headed downeast this morning:D , going 60 mph or so when I hear a POW, thought a rock or something hit my truck, 1/2 a mile later, the truck starts pulling to the ditch, I pull over, flat tire. ****!!!. The tire is up underneath with some winch that holds it there, can't get the spare down. Finally call triple A, my wife pays for it, might as well use it. The guy gets there 45 minutes later. It takes 2 of us to get the tire out of there, good thing I read the owners manual or it never would have come out of there. He changes it, I tip him 5 bucks, decide I'm not driving all over without a spare, go to plan b. Quick job that is local. No money to be made today:mad:

The spare is brand new, want to get another tire just like it, call around, no one has one, finally get ahold of place that say we have one in another store, can have it tomorrow, 125 bucks but you have to prepay. Go out of my way to go prepay, the manager tells the guy to call and make sure, that store doesn't have one either,****!!! Bait and switch pieces of crap. "I can get it friday", F off you lying sack of ****. Go to where I got the tire that blew, order one for tomorrow, bye bye 200 bucks. Its time to start drinking
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

I got a new chair at work today. :) (No, it isn't electric. :D )

Spent an hour filling out a form in order to surplus the old chair which was torn. I ended up guessing how much the old chair cost. Surprising the chair did have serial number which the form also needed.. (Why does anyone care?)

Good stuff. Also, during the Twins game last night it was nice to see the fans give a standing O for the efforts of the Sox pitcher in breaking a MLB record.

No dysfunctional family crap though? I don't buy it. Especially if Edina is involved. :p

I didn't say there wasn't any, I just don't want to talk/write about it. :p

Did you miss my post about why everyone should make sure their parents have a will and spell out their wishes? That wasn't from theoretical circumstances. :p
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

As much as I miss my late brother, he was definitely the passive/aggressive instigator of most family issues.
Our family lawyer said during the course of settling my mothers estate that, with all due respect, it was very uneventful between my sister and I, but if our brother was still here we'd be in court for years.
I feel fortunate to get along really well with all my in laws and my sister. No BS ever. :cool:
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

Ole and his brother Sven grabbed their poles and headed out to do some ice fishing. As they were augering a hole in the ice they heard a loud voice from above say, "There's no fish under the ice."

Ole an Sven moved about 25 feet over and started to make another hole. The voice said a little stronger, " There's no fish under the ice." They both looked around and then looked up.

Ole said, "Are you God?"

The voice spoke back, "No, the ice rink attendant."



Ole and Sven went fishing one summer and decided to rent a boat from the resort instead of fishing from the shore. They rowed out a ways and started to fish. They caught one fish after the other. Ole says to Sven, "I wish we could mark this spot. It’s the best fishing I've seen since I was a boy."

Sven replied, "I got some chalk in my tackle box, so why don't I put an X right here on the bottom of the boat?"

Ole laughed, "You goofy brother of mine...What if we don't rent the same boat next time."



Ole went to the Doctor because he was feeling a little sick. After a few tests the Doctor told Ole, "I'm sorry to tell you that you have a rare disease that is incurable and you are going to die in 6 months. But to help you out I'm going to prescribe that you move in with your mother-in-law."

Ole replied, "That’s terrible Doc, but why should I move in with my rotten mother-in-law."

The Doc said, "Because that will be the longest 6 months of your life."
I wish West Michigan had jokes like this...

I am not sure why I am posting this stuff on here but oh well, what the hell.

FIL is a very emotional guy. Earlier I posted I was very surprised by his reaction last night. More or less he stated to me (on our call this morning) that he had to leave due to the fact that he was so disappointed, frustrated and furious with his son and wife after he heard what I had to say. Furthermore, he is "sick" in regards to how he has treated his daughter (Mrs. g). He mentioned that it took some balls for me to do what I did and he thanked me for bringing this to his attention and he respects me more today than he ever has. He thought it was better for him to walk away rather than let his emotions get the best of him.

FWIW MIL, FIL and BIL are all going to Yellowstone via car next week for 10 days. Should be a very entertaining trip. ;)
Good luck in dealing with all this, gmann.

Pretty soon, I need to get started on dinner; making ground turkey patties tonight and I'll top them with salsa...

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. ;)

I read the post. This topic isn't even on the radar........Yet. :(
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

Just got my flight itinerary from the company for the 4th. Needless to say, I'm pumped.

Should be leaving here in a short little while hopefully, then it's the beginning of the "lasts": last trip up the St. Clair river tonight, to start :D :( Bittersweet, I guess, it's been a great experience out here, but I'm ready to go home and do what every other college student has been doing with their lives this summer.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

I have a bunch of friends who live in Somerville and Cambridge, let me know if you want/need recommendations.

Morning, kids! Attractive guy with British accent on the T and getting rid of the rest of the toasted coconut cupcakes I made last night has made for a positive start to the morning already.
Yeah I am thinking Davis or Porter Square, and Cambridge I have a friend that lives near central square but inman seems kind of cool too....but I guess I should get the job first.

It's "South Boston" (not South of Boston). It's a traditionally Irish neighborhood, which was the source of political uprising over the "busing" and integrating of schools in the 60s and 70s. When you think of the "Boston accent", people from Southie are stereotyped to talk that way. Home (or former home, depending on who you ask) to famed Boston criminal "Whitey" Bulger.
Yeah South of Boston would be Quincy. Also not to confuse it with the South End. Which I guess has this very cute little market every sunday that I have been meaning to check out. Lots of handmade arty stuff.

FWIW MIL, FIL and BIL are all going to Yellowstone via car next week for 10 days. Should be a very entertaining trip. ;)
NO FRIGGEN WAY!!! Guess where I am leaving for on friday! YELLOWSTONE!!! (POSSIBLY MY FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH!!!!) Well actually flying into salt lake city, then driving up, sadly only 4 days in the park (but I am just the tour guide, I didnt get to make the itneray), and then to Jackson Hole, and then I am actually trying to get back to salt lake city in time on the following sat (the 8th) because one of my favorite musical groups is playing in midvale UT, and they dont really travel out east (Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband).

I am trying to get us into the transportation barn (old tour guiding connections) but if you have ANY questions on yellowstone I can proably answer them. Althought I wont give you directions to the secret hot potting spots. :)

I am really hoping I get a job with the vancouver olympics for two reasons. a) it will be awesome to work for another olympics but also b) it means I can very easily work another summer in yellowstone without having to quit a full time job to do it. I would just be going from one tempory job to another.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

Hi Lodge! gmann, sorry to read that you are immersed in family drama -- bites. G'night thread.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 78: The Rep Lodge Yacht club.

My company was selected by the Illinois DOT to perform precast and prestressed beam inspection for the next three years.

This is the third such contract in a row my company has been awarded. :eek: :D

Thief facing hard time? Probably not in jail
[Philadelphia Daily News]
Wednesday, July 29, 2009 01:05:00 PM


Jul. 29-A thief may be facing stiff penalties after he palmed 96 pills of Viagra from the Extra Space Storage facility in Springfield, Delaware County, last week.

"No force was used," Springfield Lt. William Clark said of the theft.

The hardened criminal remains unidentified and at large, police said.

Pfizer Inc., the maker of Viagra, rents space at the self-storage facility on Baltimore Pike, Clark said.

Earlier this month, a shipment of seven boxes of Viagra, each containing 96 sample pills, was sent to the facility and signed for by an on-site storage attendant, police said.

When a Pfizer manager went to pick up the boxes last week, one was missing, Clark said.

The estimated value of the missing box of pills is $1,300, police said.

It's unknown whether the thief was hard up for money and planned to sell the drugs or whether he intended to use them for personal gain.

Tipsters can call Springfield police at 610-544-1100.
