Random Thoughts XII - This Thread Delivers

Somebody posted a Big 12 basketball preview podcast yesterday.

I think Travis Hines was in it -- and he was "more optimistic" than his print preview.

Anybody know where that went or which one it was? Thanks.

I wanted to listen to it.

Looks like we are inheriting my in laws pool table as they don't want it when they move this week. BIL and SIL are moving with them because apparently they missed a payment at the one place they have lived and now due to that they apparently can't find another apartment. Or at least that is the story we were told.

Then MrsWx mentions that the BIL and SIL here are going to go out and visit SIL in LA over Thanksgiving because the sister here is interested in becoming a makeup artist out there for movies and stuff. Seems like a great idea. Send two people that are young and very dysfunctional, don't make much money as it is and can't get an apartment here out to California to go to school to do make up. Sounds like a brilliant plan to me!

Unless I care about the family member I just usually nod and say sounds great.

I generally just shake my head and move on. My favorite is when they get mad because other family members judge them. My favorite is when they got mad because aunts and uncles questioned why they were still living in their basement after being married for three years.

Sorry, Sig. I do not know.

Every year, I forget that the Tuffy's people will be around to sell their prepaid plan or whatever it is. Every year, I trust their plan (that I've never bought) less and less.

This year's dude has a protege. He's the fast-talking salesman, and they try to be pushy. It was an honor to turn them down.

Don't let your kids hang with their cousins (if they have kids) cause when they grow up the cousins will be trying to leech off of them.

Do you guys answer your door after dark? Or even after what would be considered supper time? Knock knock and door bell around 7:30, some backpack dude that I assume was doing political crap or charity fundraising stuff. Did not answer. Go away.

Oh, hell, who am I kidding, even in the daytime I don't answer my door. It ain't anyone I know or I'd be expecting them. I just assume it's the door knock version of the call from New York I just ignored.

Was working working on the house Saturday, some lady came up, said "You look busy, I'll just lrave this here." Really appreciated here not trying to sell me on her views, cuz I couldnt have cared less.

I try to dress shabby when doing yard work so they just walk by thinking I am the help. "Jeez, that hobo can't live here." Never shave or comb your hair for yard work. Old mock turtleneck with frayed collar and paint stains for the win!

You know those sleeps you have when you dont even realize you are sleeping? Yeah, had one of those last night. It was amazing. Dont even remember the gf going to bed after me, thats how glorious it was.

Of course you didn't remember the girlfriend going to bed. You're not married so she went to bed in a completely different building.

The only gals I have seen at my door are fundraising hippie gals and 75-year old church ladies there to save my soul. I'd probably at least talk to a gal with a big check even if accompanied you two douchebag looking mafia guys.

Oh Hell no. Shoot, I get pissed off when other softball parents blow up our groupchat after 9pm, and that's just a phone that I can silence if I felt like it.

I had a rough night one Friday night in my early 20s. Buddy said he may stop by in the morning. Knock on the door, I drag my hungover *** to unlock and open. Yowza, smoking hot, kinda slutty made up woman my age.

Santa Claus is real I think. She starts talking, effing Jevoie. Their salesmanship got better apparently.

I think I watched too much Big 12 football this past weekend. I read the end of your post as "emaw".

I never do unless I'm expecting someone. I do get a lot of knocks though living on one of the main roads in town. It's always some kind of solicitor or politician.

Actually had a knock yesterday. Didn't see a car in the driveway so I assumed it was one of the aforementioned people going door to door. I waited a minute, walked to a window that I can peek out to see who is out there, and saw one of our work trucks out front on the street. It was my boss. He just came back from the apple orchard and had a dozen fresh cider donuts for me.

Which is why you peek! Cause donuts.
