I'll leave the decorations downstairs up probably until February. The rest I'll take down during the playoffs to take the edge off. Cheer up bud, we get another one of these in about 12 months.

weird Asian candy posted:You liked choc covered banana? I was so pumped for that flavor and it tasted very artificial banana-y to me. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't get it again. Pancakes and waffles is great. I think the only flavor I didn't like is the oatmeal one. Not because the flavor is bad but because oats started giving me digestive problems a while ago and I wasn't thinking.

My daugher is napping so I've catalogued the most recent heap of NES games I've gotten to sell and will be taking them apart to clean the contacts later. For now I'm walking on the treadmill and farting around online. I'd started watching Dark on Netflix but It's not really clicking. Time travel usually sucks as a plot device because there's always a bunch of stupid bullshit that need explaining. Only halfway through episode 3 and...eh. The best time travel show of all time was the Futurama episode where they go back in time to the 1940s, get frustrated with tiptoing around and then blast the gently caress out of everything while literally screaming "screw you, causality!"

Skwirl posted:I was 28 the last time I dated some one 21, but that's more a rule for who you should be looking to date, not a hard and fast rule on all intimacy. As long as you aren't predatory and observe the campsite rule (leave them better off than you found them, something to endeavor for in all relationships but more important in ones with a large age gap) I think using 21 as a catch all minimum isn't anymore arbitrary than the half your age plus seven rule. I dunno, "take only pictures, leave only footprints" sounds really predatory to me.

Years back I broke my ankle slipping on some ice in my buddy's driveway. He was 15-20 feet away but still heatd the snap. I landed in such a way that my leg got folded under me. So that was fun. Naturally the smartest thing we could do was have me limp up the spiral staircase to his 2nd-floor apartment. I've also had a pilonidal cyst, which is something that happens right around where your back meets your butt. I let that go for so long that the doctor insisted on cutting some of it out in his office with only a local anaesthetic. Was thankfully put under for the follow-up surgery but ended up with a fist-sized hole in my lower back that took months to heal. Both of those were decades ago though. I had surgery for an inguinal hernia in 2016. That recovery wasn't t too bad pain-wise with only ibuprofen, and the hernia itself was only a nuisance prior to. I'm sure the ultimate cause was work-related but the thing that caused the tissue to finally rip was a sneeze.

My only celebrity story is I met Jerry Glanville and Dirk Koetter in a bar in Hartford for a fan event for the city's now defunct UFL team. Koetter told me that the "arena guys can't throw the ball for poo poo" after I asked about on of the UFL QBs, a former arena player who'd had a good year and went on to be a 3rd-stringer with the Cowboys.

Master Stur posted:I'm broke and dead inside so I trudge along just fine at 5-6hrs every night just like my broke dead inside father before me and the one before him. Wouldn't recommend. My wife basically doesn't function without 9 hours, bodies are weird. Same! I spent years working second shift and now I'm keyed to sleep from 12-8. My toddler is always awake by 6:30 though so that basically never happens. It especially sucks because I can no longer have caffeine. Meanwhile my wife needs to be in bed by 9:30 or she's groggy the next day, and she'll sleep until 9 AM on weekends. Go figure.

Mel Mudkiper posted:getting enough sleep is the dopest lifestyle decision and I recommend the poo poo out of it I don't think I realized that until I simultaneously lost the ability to caffeine and had a child. I wouldn't say that blacking out is rad but there is something comforting about just being able to fall asleep right where you are. The recliner in our basement is super comfy and I've missed the 4th quarter of SNF more times than I can count.

Our health insurance has a program where they'll give you a cheap or free fitness tracker and will put money into your HSA if you walk a certain number of steps and/or walk several times a day. I opted for the cheap lovely free one and the only place it actually properly registers my steps is in my underwear. I'd normally say gently caress it to something like this because it's creepy to have a company actively monitoring you, but my wife said that whatever money we don't have to put into that account I can spend on beer. Long story short it's like an extra $30-$90 a month on my beer budget for something I'd be doing anyway... except with an electronic collar on my crotch.

There was a claw machine at a diner I used to frequent that I'd routinely snag two toys at once, and even managed three once. I think it started as a pathetic way to cozy up to a girl I liked. Long story short, she just wanted to be friends and we both dodged a bullet on that one.

Master Stur posted:Breweries or good places to eat mostly. Won't be staying too long probably two to three days Just a few places near me. These are all going to be north of Warwick though. 1: Bucket Brewery 100 Carver St Pawtucket RI Decent little place that does a brunch thing some Sundays and has movie nights on Thursdays in the (pretty large) tasting room. Solid beer and some interesting styles, though nothing truly stupendous. Try Black Goat of the Woods if you want something really weird. it's a spiced irish milk stout. Beer available in growlers and six-packs. 2: Crooked Current 560 Mineral Spring Ave, Pawtucket, RI 02860 The smallest craft brewer in Rhode Island. Super tiny little brewery that only ever features three beers on tap. Styles trend a little towards the gimmicky, but they know what they're doing. I can vouch for the Pumpkin Maple Ale, which is good. The hefe and the New Zealand IPA are decent, though I'm a stickler for hefes and not a huge fan of hops, so my opinion on these might be skewed. They've got a chocolate mint stout out now and I'm dying to try it but my beer money is dried up for the month. It's way too small for tours but they do have a tasting room. Beer is available in 32-oz cans and growlers. While you're there, you may as well check out... 3: Foolproof Brewing 241 Grotto Ave #1, Pawtucket, RI 02860 Rhode Island's largest craft brewer, who were formerly housed in Crooked Current's exact location. If it weren't for the fact that it was so close to CC I might not recommend it. Not that Foolproof is bad, just that they don't have any real standout beers. They do tours on Saturdays, and sell merchandise and beer soap. Beer is in six-packs. I cannot for the life of me recall if they do growler fills. 4: Skyroc Brewery 11 Riverbank Rd, Attleboro, MA 02703 New brewery in my hometown. They've got a nice big taproom but I've only been a couple of times and the lineup has changed a lot from what I can tell. Their Brick Building beer is a light smoked ale and probably the best thing they've got. The beer is good but kind of overpriced for what it is. Their style selection trends a little hoppy, but they've apparently got a maple winter warmer out now that sounds good. Beer is in growlers with some styles in six-packs. Or it might be four-packs of 16-oz cans now. 5: Bog Iron Brewing 33 West Main Street Norton, MA 02766 Getting a little far from Warwick now but Bog Iron has been around for 4-5 years and they've done pretty well for themselves. Probably the best, most consistent brewer on this list. Can recommend the Campout Mild, Swiss Mistress chocolate milk stout, and Joe coffee stout. They mostly make lighter, hoppier beer, which isn't my thing. The maltier stuff they do is great though. The mild might be the best beer they make IMO, it's really flavorful and at only 3.2% abv. They used to do growlers but recently announced they were phasing them out. Been a while since I've been there and I'm not sure how far along that is. They're just bottling everything now in 17-oz and 32-oz containers, afaik. Honestly I haven't been to most of these in a year or so because I've been pretty frugal with my beer purchases. Following them all on Facebook though so it's not like I'm sending you anywhere that's closed down. I've heard good things about Proclomation Ale Company and Revival Brewing, which are closer to you, but have never been to either. As for where to eat, I liked Durk's BBQ in Providence. They have a whiskey menu if you're into that sort of thing. I only learned about it on the way out on our first visit. Providence Place Mall has a Dave and Buster's if you want to drink and spend too much on arcade cabs. Don't have much more than that because my wife and I are old boring hermits who spend most of our time at home.
