I listen to the reports on the radio after it's done,   45 min drive to work I get plenty of radio time in

DeanT - Posted - 12/29/2011:  16:11:58

I think our radio is on more than our TV

OM45GE - Posted - 12/31/2011:  04:13:13

I spend more time listening to radio than I do watching TV but, with an 11 year old and a TV addict wife, I'm the only one.

DeanT - Posted - 12/31/2011:  08:33:36

I can't believe that Sammy slept with EJ on One Life to Live... and her son knows about it!

OM45GE - Posted - 12/31/2011:  19:34:32

May I assume we're talking soap operas here?

DeanT - Posted - 12/31/2011:  19:50:45

Ask your TV addict wife :)

OM45GE - Posted - 12/31/2011:  19:54:42

She's into reality shows, not soaps. I don't know which is worse.

DeanT - Posted - 12/31/2011:  20:08:18

Is there a difference? :)

OM45GE - Posted - 01/01/2012:  18:24:46

Not to me, now that you mention it.

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/02/2012:  15:13:47

I watched TV in the hotel last night. And in the hotel on my drive home a week or so ago. I got all caught up on my commercials.

DeanT - Posted - 01/02/2012:  16:39:56

The Animal shelter commercials over the holidays were pretty tough to watch

OM45GE - Posted - 01/02/2012:  16:40:57

They sure do know  how to tug at your heart strings.

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/03/2012:  07:14:30

Oh thank goodness I didn't catch any of those. Mostly I got the "But wait! There's more!" type things. Apparently my life is not complete without a meatloaf pan and some snuggy-type pajama things (that should never see the light of day but apparently are perfect for tailgate parties) and I should not be embarrassed about my period.

I would probably be crying if I saw animal shelter commercials. You can't save them all and I'm pretty much full up right now.

DeanT - Posted - 01/03/2012:  07:33:05

we are thinking about getting another foster greyhound, but 4 makes for one full house!

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/03/2012:  08:24:42

I'll bet! And you have a bunch of other critters, too, don't you?

DeanT - Posted - 01/03/2012:  10:45:42

two cats and two birds also.

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/03/2012:  11:56:14

And at least one non-greyhound dog, right?

dat - Posted - 01/03/2012:  12:28:56

we had a stray show up over the weekend, somebody probably dumped it out, real friendly mutt though, we'll see if he sticks around or is just traveling through

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/03/2012:  13:01:33

You need another dog, Dat!

Tango_grass - Posted - 01/04/2012:  00:21:02

It's like I never got sidetracked. Good deal!

DeanT - Posted - 01/04/2012:  00:46:46

one time no see...
our non-greyhound found a new home with friends, as a playmate to their steroidal Chihuahua...

OM45GE - Posted - 01/04/2012:  04:55:02

Steroidal Chihuahua ?

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/04/2012:  06:40:04

I got one of those cortizone shots this morning in my foot. It feels weird.

dat - Posted - 01/04/2012:  06:45:52

I got one of those shots for my back about 5 years ago,  I was thinking then, "Man, I could get one of these every day"    glad I haven't though

DeanT - Posted - 01/04/2012:  08:08:36

I used to get them in my elbow when I played baseball

dat - Posted - 01/04/2012:  09:05:03

just if they had a shot like that that could make me play the banjer a little better. seems like it's getting harder and harder to find time to sit down and pick

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/04/2012:  09:33:48

I got one in my foot years ago, back before my bunion surgery, that didn't do anything. And it hurt like anything when he did it. I think I almost kicked him in an uncomfortable spot. Really, not a good idea to hold someones foot in your lap when you're doing something unpleasant to them!

dat - Posted - 01/04/2012:  13:24:56

I'll bet he hold things different from then on

DeanT - Posted - 01/04/2012:  17:11:08

The dentist gave me valium when he did some major stuff. Man... he could have used a chain saw, and wouldn't have cared.

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/04/2012:  18:19:23

My former housemate had something wrong in her throat and the doctor went to cut it off. He sprayed on this numbing stuff but apparently it didn't do enough. She slugged him.

DeanT - Posted - 01/04/2012:  19:49:21

whiskey works better

OM45GE - Posted - 01/05/2012:  04:01:03

Whiskey AND Valium work even better...

dat - Posted - 01/05/2012:  05:55:03

Whiskey is a pretty good numbing agent if applied liberally

DeanT - Posted - 01/05/2012:  07:59:20

man, this thread makes we want to go back to detox!

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/05/2012:  08:34:53

My dad is so strange. When I was home I had some of his whiskey. (He gets the cheap stuff, which made me kind of sad. It doesn't go down as easy and the stuff I get.) So New Year's Eve he went out shopping mid-day and bought enough food for like a party of 20 (there were only three of us at home that night) and a bottle of champagne to ring in the New Year. And he bought me a bottle of brandy.

I left on New Years. I have no idea why he bought me this bottle of brandy on New Year's Eve. I wasn't going to open it that night and I wasn't going to be there after that to drink it. So he sent it home with me.

I already had two almost full bottles at home.

So now I'm drinking brandy like every night.

OM45GE - Posted - 01/05/2012:  09:30:47

Maybe he was hoping you would stay and drink it with him.

dat - Posted - 01/05/2012:  09:33:34

I have a bottle of brandy that I've had for 20 years that I have not opened yet, I just thought the bottle looked nice when I bought it

OM45GE - Posted - 01/05/2012:  09:35:02

I'm not really a Brandy drinker myself.

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/05/2012:  10:02:29

I really liked brandy for awhile there and then I bought a bottle of a different brand because someone recommended that brand to me. It was REALLY sweet, though, and I didn't like it. Now I feel like even the stuff I used to like tastes too sweet.

So I've been mixing it with a touch of lemon to cut the sweet. It's not great but it's bearable.

OM45GE - Posted - 01/06/2012:  04:17:17

Too me the right mix of sweetness is a single malt Scotch that's been aged in Sherry casks.

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/06/2012:  06:33:45

It's Friday! Yay!

dat - Posted - 01/06/2012:  08:33:05

Knock 'em dead.

with or without a chicken wire fence

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/06/2012:  11:03:25

I'm going to a concert tonight. It's a birthday bash, so there will be cake!

DeanT - Posted - 01/06/2012:  12:16:26

No chicken wire... and no cake... that I know of... just lots of beer and booze, and I don't drink!

dat - Posted - 01/06/2012:  14:24:28

NO CHICKEN WIRE?   that means you've gotta learn to duck and dodge the beer bottles 

DeanT - Posted - 01/06/2012:  15:41:15

We don't even play the song Rawhide...
