Ah. Well it's one of my all time favorites.

I was helping my dad out at work this morning (he's a contractor) tripped and my head landed on some hot glued stuff. Got a bunch of hot glue in my hair and had to get a buzz cut. Hope everyone is having a better Wednesday morning than me

It's just hair.

You could have been bald and your scalp would have been severely burned.

Spirit of the Radio is another good one for me,every time a hear that "Begin the day with a friendly voice....". It just makes me happy.

Oh and you can be the captain and I will chart the course


Edit I think I f***ed up the lyric

The inside of this aquarium stand is getting pretty full...

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Are going to have fish or are you starting a grow-op?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Haha. Will have fish, but I'd like to go for a terrestrial style scene. Lots of inspiration out there:

Does anyone have experience with on-street parking in the Ironbound?

I'm gonna try and snag one of those marked spots on Raymond Boulevard across from Riverfront Park for Red Bull tonight. I get out of work on 3:30 and I know there's no parking for street cleaning there on Thursdays from 12:00 to 4:00.

I think your luck transferred to me after midnight.

I was out of town a couple days and got home at 1 in the morning. I found it suspicious that only one of my cats met me at the door. Went up to the bedroom to find the other couldn't use his rear legs. Rushed him to the animal hospital to find out he had a blood clot that cut off circulation to his legs, caused by a failing heart. Guy's only 7 or 8 years old.

I couldn't let him go right on the spot. I just couldn't. So I just dropped a TON of cash to buy 6 months to a year if I'm lucky. Probably much less. He's my best friend (sadly), and I also felt that my GF who lives in Manhattan had to see him at least one more time. I also felt like I owed it to him to give him one last chance.

A 6'4 250 pound guy driving around a cat and bawling his eyes out isn't a pretty sight.

Anyway, as a result, I have NO idea what happened with our team... Dea gone? McLeod called up. I'm not sure I even care anymore.

really very sorry to hear that, man. did he regain use of his legs at least?

 

[Nubmer6]

A little. Looks better than yesterday, but the big concern is that it's congestive heart failure. It's bound to go soon. I'm just gonna make his final days as nice as possible. I'm going to have to shoot him up with blood thinners 3 times a day to keep him going, it seems.

You're a good pet owner.

I called this last year in this thread (though I didnt predict it would happen THIS year, just at some point soon in the future).

People now want Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer banned from the annual Christmas airwaves due to "bullying", "sexism", "violence" and "gender stereotyping".

Paging Elon Musk, get me off this planet.

That sucks man. I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve lost some of my cats and dogs. One of my birds just died the other night. Not long after I came home from the game. He was at the bottom of the cage, breathing heavily and I knew he was gonna go. So I looked back in there an hour later and he was dead. So I buried him out back. There was nothing I could do at that point, but watch him die and I wasn’t gonna do that. I suspect he was in failing health for a while.

The worst was when I lost my dog about 2+ Years ago now. I was so distraught over it, I didn’t even post about it on here. The only mention I made of it was in regards to something else and saying “this was the worst day I’ve had in years, so this makes me smile” the day it happened. That was September 6th of 2016. I couldn’t come to terms with that for a while. I lost another one shortly before that, but he was my oldest.

I don’t take animal deaths very well. I also lost one of my cats a few years back and another one before that.

I just recently adopted a 9 month old chihuahua in September. She’ll be a year in December I guess. I knew when I saw her that I’d regret not getting her! She’s awfully noisy when strangers (especially other men) come in the house. I suspect she’s been abused or mistreated by men, as she’s much more warm and open to female guests.

Some people just lack common sense

 

[Davegarri]

How is Rudolph gender stereotyping? Bullying actually makes somewhat sense, although overblown, but the other reasons are just ridiculous

Don't even get me started on this whole gender garbage.

Answered my own question by just trying it last night.

My interpretation of how cities manage parking is warped by Hoboken's visitor-hostile methods. The amount of on-street parking with zero permit rules in Newark is surprising [to me].

I will never understand on-street parking in Newark. I would park in the same place for Devils games all the time. Randomly they started giving me parking tickets. No signage changed, I wasn't in front of a fire hydrant or blocking a driveway or a bus stop or anything. Parked there again a few times after the first ticket and received no tickets, then randomly got second one.

No consistency and no real reason on the ticket other than "Illegal Parking" and both tickets were issued like 5-10 minutes after I parked there. Leads me to believe they just don't want fans parking on the street during games and taking away spots from residents.

It is in the world where you can be fired as a college professor for using the word "he" or "she".

A cop or meter maid most definitely saw you exiting your car in Devils gear on the times you actually got tickets.

For me, I couldn't park on the street for the Devils over this concern, especially since my car has NJD plates. Considering the cost of parking at sporting events in general nowadays, the $12 to park at Seton Hall Law is enough of a bargain to keep doing it.

Obvious extreme hyperbole; only moderately amusing, I suppose.

I think I remember that. I may have posted this in reply:

This is my first time losing a pet, and even other pet owners say I have an unusual bond with this cat, so it's been difficult. The guy follows me around everywhere, plays fetch, is leash trained, and is just generally dog-like. He's even handed me a tool when I was working on my car. Not the RIGHT tool, but a tool.

He hopefully comes home today or tomorrow to live out his days. He's such a young cat, he deserves better.

I googled it and the reason was some character said, "No, that's a man's work" or something like that.

Also to be fair, it looks like there's one school somewhere is making this argument, it's not like a whole movement or anything.
