Going to the Pistons game tonight with some friends from college daze. Who knows why, the Pistons suck right now, me want Chauncey back!!
Have a great weekend y’all!!
Basement flooded.
Never happened before. My neighbor’s basement floods constantly, but we’ve never had more than a puddle since moving in, Summer 2001. When I left the house the first time, to bring my son to school, I was amazed to see my yard totally flooded, and my driveway just covered with water. I thought it was gonna be a regional thing, some newsworthy storm had hit us.
Turns out some pond overflowed or something, and it was just a couple houses that got it from this! The fire department’s on the job right now. They got the town to sandbag the pond to stop the flooding, and they’re currently pumping the water from my basement. Good times.
Luckily for me, other than my toolbox and a bedframe, and some of my sister-in-law’s stuff that she left at my house a couple years ago, … there’s really not much down there that I care about. It just might work out that I can get the town to take all my basement junk away free of charge if I play this right.
Anyway, so far it’s only cost me: a couple hours of my shift (good), one phone call (simple) and some general excitement (cool). The dog went bezerk, that’s about the worst of it so far.
Meanwhile, here I am at work, to wish you all a heartfelt good December morning. And maybe to get some of this freakin’ work done.
^Sorry to hear, although you seem to have taken it very well. Good for you. I would have been cursing the gods for my infernal bad luck.
Although I’m having a very powerful day, relatively speaking. Am ripping through my assignments quickly and efficiently and thinking how good I am at this and many jobs.
It tends to offset the times when I can’t figure out the simplest things like changing a burnt out headlight on my Accord. The left one went out two nights ago, and when I looked inside the hood, I couldn’t figure any way to get at it without disconnecting the battery and messing with a lot of odd looking locking screws. Know I’m going to have to get ripped off by some mechanic to change a three dollar bulb.
GOOD MORNING OKP!
It’s Monday, which means we’re one week closer to March. I hope you all are having a good one!

^That’s the one and ONLY good thing about Mondays in my book.
Coming down with some sort of bug and I don’t feel well this day.
It is 50 degrees and raining outside and is supposed to fall to 17 degrees by 8 p.m.
Now that’s a motha fucka, especially since all this lovely rain will be transformed into it’s frozen cousin ice in the matter of a few hours.
Keep 'er breezy y’all
I love my cat Maze, although he has a very bad cold right now…
Sad, he sneezes about 1 million times a day, time for the vet!
G’morning all ye young dudes.
Good Morning! Nice of you guys to drop by!
Echo base? This is Rogue 2. I’ve found them. Repeat: I’ve found them.
I'm up to my eyeballs in agenda.
Disc Golf isn't on it. All the courses in my area have been damaged and are unplayable (except maybe the one in Easton) by the ice storm that hit New England. It's pretty sad. And, it was already a sad time for disc golf, being mid-December & all.
Back to being busy .... I have a gig tonight and have to ask if I can leave early. It was just booked literally this morning, so I didn't have time to ask in advance. And: I was late today, and the boss was visibly displeased. So I'll just keep procrastinating the request. After lunch, maybe. The trick is I gotta get caught up.
:: pours it on ::::Is glad Kev found time to OKP in his “busy” day::
;D
::Finds time to OKP in the next consecutive busy day, with due respect to will’s gladness::
Morning folks!! Actually I was up from like 7 a.m. til 9 a.m., then fell back asleep, so good afternoon!
It’s so damn cold here, I’m not sure I’ll go outside at all until work. -5 degrees is the high temp.
Probably time to rock some tunes…
Is it morning yet?
Damn!!
Good morning!
Cold and snowy!!
we gotr about 4 inches last night.
Really makes for good driving!!
Have a good’n
Good morning everyone!
Feeling okay today. We’re getting cold, rainy, snowy weather (like everyone else on the continent I think) for the next week or so.
I’ve got all my Christmas shopping left to do. Not good.
But there’s food in my future.
And, Phish is coming back, as I’m sure you’ve prolly heard.
Morning everybody. I hope you’re all doing well. Been a crazy couple of months over here, but shit’s all good now. Kicked out the asshole boyfriend and passed a very important test that I’ve been dreading for 2 years all in a matter of days. I can’t tell you the difference in my stress level this week. It’s decreased like 1000% and I’m finally feeling like myself again for the first time in a LONG time. So yeah, that’s my last 2 months in a nutshell. Not looking forward to xmas shopping for the fam this weekend, but haven’t had time to do it until now. Can’t believe tomorrow is Friday already. The week has flown by. Have a good one all!
^,^^
Sweet, I was hoping I wasn’t the last one that still had a bit of shopping to do.
^^It’s that rebound feeling is so great once the stress is released. Glad you got all that stuff out of the way before the holidays.
Busy morning followed by one of many holiday lunches coming up. Today’s is scheduled at a chinese food buffet place, and it’s with some of the people I worked with three years ago. We get together a few times a year to see how everyone’s doing.
Tomorrow is my company’s holiday lunch in house. They usually do it up very nicely with hot and cold buffet items in the large conference room. People generally screw off the rest of the day and no one seems to care.
And there’s snow in the forecast which is all right by me. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…
WE have two more storm sysems coming at us over the next 3 days!!
They’re calling for 6 - 10 inches (thats what she said ;)) tomorrow and then another few over the weekend. fuck, thats too much snow!
I heard it snowed on the strip in Vegas!!
Sean, that true?
Morning all!
wow.
haven’t had the opportunity to post in THIS thread for a while.
Good Morning OKPers!
heading up the coast today to visit my dad with my brother and cousin for a couple days. Should be a lot of fun. Been a while since the four of us were in one place at one time.
keep it sexy, folks!
Yes, it’s true. It snowed 3-6 inches depending upon your location in the valley. I got a lot since I’m about 500-1000 ft higher in elevation than the Strip. I had fun but couldn’t get marley, my dog, to go outside. I threw dog biscuits out the back door until she went out.
Today is our holiday luncheon at Gordon Biersch. I’m planning on having a few Hefewiezen’s then breaking into the ‘Airing of Grievances’ to kick off Festivus. I need to let my coworkers know how much they’ve disappointed me this past year.
