Good Morning Oh Kee Pa (Part 1)

Non-Phish General

I hope everybody out there realizes how expensive it is to get old.

See, this is why I eat like crap and abuse my body…that way when I keel over at 60, I won’t have to worry about all that.

resist flipping the bird to the slow, eldery driver.

I’ll agree to all of your advice but I’ll only flick them off if they refuse to drive in the slow lane. It’s one thing to drive slow…it’s another to be an idiot and make everyone go around you because you don’t care what lane you’re in.

I often say that some old people just shouldn’t drive but if I was that age, I’ll bet I’d be driving all the time even if the state took my license…I’d be old and wouldn’t give a shit. So I can understand it.

Good morn!

It’s Saturday!

I really need to do work related work today. I feel like I’m suffocating from all the stuff I need to get done during work day hours, but instead of alleviating that by getting caught up on nights and weekends, I don’t.

We’ll see what happens.

#13683

Two of my oldest Phish friends were married today, and tonight there’s a bash at the famous Wonderbar in Asbury Park to celebrate their wedding. The marquee is already announcing the party…

Heather and Mike run the kazoo band every year in Ocean Grove, and I wouldn’t miss this party for the world

Hope you guys are having a great weekend too.

It’s technically afternoon but I’m still feeling good morningish :smiley: Been lurking here and there but no time to say hello to you fine people.
Slept 14 hours last night after a 10 hour day of diving. Highlight of this week was my first octopus encounter and learned that if you smile too big under water your mask leaks :laughing:
Going Furthur tonight at the Greek, woo hoo!
Have a lovely Saturday!! :wave:

#13685

I think my mask is leaking just reading this. :slight_smile:

Maybe that’s not my mask…I should probably consult a physician.

#13686

Good Sunday!

Awoke too early on a rainy and dreary morning when I should be sleeping in, but I have a list of tasks awaiting, so it’s a good thing.

Have a great day folks.

#13687

Good, afternoon ? morningn threado!

I’m freaking exhausted … and glad that I have mostly a chill evening ahead. Gonna get my organized on.

Played two rain rounds, of disc golf, went to a show in Worcester last night & got home at freaking 4 am or some shit. Wow, ‘is it always this early at this time of day?’ as I like to say.

#13688

Morning 'Pa.

Know it’s Monday, worst day of the work week, but doesn’t seem to be a need to fret about it. Let’s just do it.

Had super nice weekend and partied to live music at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park Saturday night to celebrate the wedding of some good friends. Really happy for them, they are such fine people and long time Phish fans. They are actually doing most of the Fall tour as their honeymoon.

Have a bunch of chores to get done today so it’s time to get started. Have a great start to the week y’all.

#13689

Mornin!

Loves to you all!

Work today. Football tonight.

Travel and work all week.

Meh

Be well!

I am dragging today. Was at the Tigers game yesterday and was just raging all day. Smoked down at 10am, pounded beers at a bar until gametime. Smoked again, had more beers during the game, smoked a lil more, then somehow ended up at a casino and had a few more beers and somewhat sobered up there.

I suck at blackjack…I put down chips, a bunch of cards come flying out that I can’t follow and then the lady takes my chips away. Then I put more chips down and the same thing happens. A great game. On the bright side, I came out $3.00 ahead on the nickel slots.

Either way, outside of the game’s result, it was a great time but I’m reminded today why I don’t rage and get trashed more often. Not that I’m hungover but, man, am I tired so I’m sure that’s part of it. Not a bad way to start a wee,k though.

#13691

^ Always good to party every now and then, pulling out all the stops so to speak. Satisfies an itch so you can relax and get back to the path.

Morning 'Pa.

Love this morning’s weather in coastal NJ. We’re getting a nor’easter, and anticipating a couple of inches or rain before it’s through on Saturday. We really need the water, the cloudy days, and the cool temps. Been a brutal two months for these types of weather conditions around these parts, and so I’m basking in the greyness of it all.

Besides, it’s a housecleaning and food shopping day, so not seeing the sunny warmth on my face outside is not something I’ll get a chance to miss.

And have I told you how envious I am of all of you who will be seeing Phish over the next several weeks? Am harboring a little bit of resentment for Marie over this, especially how things are turning out for us in November and December, but maybe I’ll post that in the ‘thoughts’ thread.

Well, I better get to it. Have a great day ole OKP.

Morning Pa!

Had a pretty hectic first half of the week; here’s hoping things are winding down for the second half.

No matter what happens though, I’ve got Fall Tour starting in 8 days and a total of 8 shows in 16 days; what-what-what?!

Have a mini-headache this morning; took some Excedrin so we will see how that goes. I feel that since they were recalled, the lots of Excedrin coming out nowadays don’t seem to work as well on my headaches. Is it me? or is it the pills??

hmm…

#13693

I feel that since they were recalled, the lots of Excedrin coming out nowadays don’t seem to work as well on my headaches.

I don’t ever use anything aspirin. Headaches, pains…all aspirin. It’s the only thing that I’m sure actually works. I’ve taken Excedrin, Tylenol and all that other crap and swear that half of that stuff does nothing. Though it’s rare that I take anything…best to stay away from pills if you can help it.

#13694

Excedrin contains aspirin so … you’ve used things with aspirin in it. You should read the list of ingredients before taking stuff, esp. cause it sounds like you are particular about what you take … or not?

#13695

Good morning OKPORNO!

Every time I see that ‘Reading, Pa’ thread, I think, “Yeah, of course I’m reading teh Pa, what.”
:problem:

I’ve had a crazy week so far … stayed up til like four in the morning Saturday night to catch my friend’s show and hang out with him, and followed thru on my disc golf tee off early the next morning. Then Sunday night was fairly low key, and Monday was another late night - like 3am. I had a recording/writing session with my old pal Spog, and it’s a rare treat for me to make music with that dude … so it was worth it. But I was tired Tuesday.

Tuesday night we reconvened for one more session (I caught a nap first luckily) that went til 2:30, and I’d love to upload a video of us jamming our original number down at the bar beforehand, “Momma Cow,” which we wrote … 26 years ago. But alas, I probably shouldn’t be taking the time to post in the first place.

Anyway, I ended up rather sick all day yesterday after only modest beer consumption, so I’m not sure what the deal is on that. Glad to be back from that though, still feeling like I’m recovering today, after going thru it all of yesterday …

Got me some new records~! Queenswreck’s been a fun band to follow, since there are currently TWO of them, and I now have a vinyl copy of each incarnation’s 2013 release …

Then Rush: got their Vapor Trails remix on vinyl and I couldn’t be more disappointed in the packaging. Generic Atlantic labels on the records. No gatefold. And it doesn’t include a download, which, come on.

Newest Van Halen is expected any day now … I put off buying that for a long time, but I couldn’t resist any more. I’m afraid it’s gonna be rare and shoot up in value on ebay like a few other pieces I’ll never ever get. [I’m looking at you, $400 Snakes & Arrows vinyl.]

Okay, good morning to you all a-once again … may your week be less dizzy and nauseous than mine, and if you’re flinging plastic, keep 'em low and flat, and fast.
:ugeek:

Not so good morning :frowning:

It’s 5:30 and I’m already about 3 hours into my morning. Piper and I have a battle of wills raging ad we speak. She woke up around 3:30 and after an hour of rocking and back patting while in her crib, she woke right back up. This has been the source of sleep deprivation and sheer madness for several months now. She was a fantastic sleeper drom the get-go but somewhere around 4 or 5 months she started waking up during the night…multiple times. It started out just a simple pacifier check and then it was a bottle or a brief rocking. When it got to be an upwards of 5 and 6 times a freaking night, I said fuck it and would put her in the bed with us. Afterall, driving is an essential part of my work day, so I cant be all tired and shit. So now this bs has been going on over 6 months and I’m fucking over it! I had to stop going to the gym in the mornings because she could roll outta bed in my absence or I would wake her up leaving Holt to deal with it after he worked late and needed more sleep. And forget middle-of-the-night or morning “relations”. That’s after also forgetting before bed relations due to pure exhaustion. You can imagine what that does to a marriage. So tonight I had enough. I’ve been working with her the past week keeping her in her crib all night and she has been improving every night. I even went to the gym 2 mornings this week! She hasnt woken up more than twice all week and she has gone right back down. But tonight, tonight was a showdown. I decided after an hr if trying to get her to fall back to sleep in her crib, that this was my fault for always running right in there when she cries. I never give her the chance to put herself back to sleep and she was going to get her chance! Initially it wasn’t bad at all. She cries for maybe 10 or 15 seconds followed by a couple minutes of silence. I really thought she was done and wondered why I hadnt liberated myself sooner. Then she got pissed amd started screaming. We were about 30 minutes in when I started typing and she quited down about 10 minutes ago. So all in all, it’s been a LONG, but productive night. Hopefully by Monday, this will all be a distant memory.

So go have a good weekend for me, damn it!

Phish in a week! Wahoooo!

Excedrin contains aspirin so … you’ve used things with aspirin in it.

So why would anyone ever take Excedrin? Doesn’t make sense to me.

You should read the list of ingredients before taking stuff, esp. cause it sounds like you are particular about what you take … or not?

I’m really just wary about any pills in general…would just rather not take them if I don’t have to. Just don’t know what they put in those. Even back in the partying days I was always wary of stuff like LSD and E but was cool with shrooms. Go figure.

So now this bs has been going on over 6 months and…

And people wonder why I don’t want kids. They’re tough even when things are going well. Hang in there and focus on the positive, I guess.

Wonderful sign for the weekend to be one work day away. The Tigers survive and I’m looking forward to a hazy weekend and lots of football and baseball.

#13698

Morning!

Loves to you all!

Early Morning sex rules Ollie, get back to it. It makes days feel better! :wink: :wave:

Last “real” weekend at the RV, sad but exciting…

Be well all!

#13699

It would make sense if you READ THE INGREDIENTS! I did provide the link in my previous post.

Execdrin is comprised of Aspirin, Caffeine and Acetaminophen. So it’s a 3-drug combo, with caffeine as an accelerant. The accelerant helps the other ingredients get into your bloodstream faster.

#13700

Speaking of caffeine, this coffee is fucking delicious. Not too strong, not too weak. Going down easy today. I love when just get the PERFECT cup of tea or coffee.

It would make sense if you READ THE INGREDIENTS! I did provide the link in my previous post.

Well, I guess not just read them but research them since I don’t know what a majority of the ingredients are. You’re making me work for this?? :mrgreen:

Execdrin is comprised of Aspirin, Caffeine and Acetaminophen. So it’s a 3-drug combo, with caffeine as an accelerant.

I suppose this makes sense. But I guess if taking something that is just aspirin works for me, I don’t see much reason to go for the other stuff. Gotta keep it simple.
