Scrambled eggs, bacon and a biscuit with grape jelly are the food of the gods if you have been unable to contemplate even taking a bite of anything since Thursday night!

Yay! You're back. Did you get to try MG's egg bacon sandwich? Unless they only serve the good food to the labor ward, I loved their food.
 
So I just paid 165 dollars for the state to give me a piece of paper that says, sure, your dog can live here.

I'm fairly confident you don't have to pay in any other state just to get permission for your dog to live there.

So what is the timeline for your dog to start hunting feral chickens and how long before moving up to wild hogs?
 
I've missed my favorite talk.. Baby names.

I love the name Graham as well as Colton. We've had an ongoing tradition where the first born son's middle name is always the fathers. I like the sound of Colton Blake.
 
So what are your work hours now, Ring?
Don't quite know yet, but since I'm taking a job that is very similar to what I did for my 499 journalism internship, I would say my hours are going to be something like 3 p.m. to midnight.

I knew a family that flipped that on it's head. If the father went by Dan, for example then the sons might be Daniel William (Bill) and Daniel James (Jay or Jim). Of course Dan was the father's middle name as well because he probably shared his first name with a brother or two. It was effed up. Thankfully the generation I knew was all ready for this crap to end.
 
I AM! My lungs are clearing up, the sepsis is under drug control, I can walk by myself (believe me when I say I know JUST how the mayor felt in that clip). Primary & urologist both say I can go home today. :)

Both want me to stay home - work from home this week if I need to work. It's still busy season, so I will probably do some stuff at home. Sometime after next Friday I'll go down to a facility in Des Moines, get the one scooped out of the ureter and the others pounded into smaller pieces to get them out of there, and I should be back to whatever passes for normal for me. Light at the end of the tunnel. :)

So glad you're back at it mom!

My first born sons middle name is my middle name.

Of course you go with preppy names like Graham and Colton! Of course I like Colton too.
 
That sucks. I feel I'm at the same spot with my job. My wife asks me if I want to take my boss's position and I tell her I really don't. I see what he has to do and I really want none of it at this time in my life. I'm happy where I'm at right now.

Ditto.

There's more money to be had with careers that involve traveling, sales, and management, but I've found that they all end up taking time from my family. I'll leave those positions to the younger single dudes with no kids.

In Greek culture, the first born son switches first and middle name with the father. My dad is Constantino Georgios and I'm Georgios Constantino. Weird.
 
I looked out on our deck this morning and there were five squirrels underneath the roof of our covered deck. My wife was tripping and started talking about getting a pest control service out there.

I jokingly said a pellet gun would take care of it, and she jumped at the idea. I was like "WTF honey, I'm not killing a squirrel for finding a safe place to stay. Give me a chance to look at it and I'll figure out a way to block them from getting in."

I think my wife may be a serial killer.
 
You guys crack me up! Thank you for the words of kindness. I'm such a party animal; PapaLew brought me home and I took one look at my blooming columbines and lilac hedge, then went upstairs and saw this beautiful COMFORTABLE bed and took a three hour nap. ;) Might have been 3-4 cats walking all over me during that time.
