Yes, I signed in after who knows how many years to piss and moan. Maybe I'm old and intolerant, but traveling to the land of EST ( that's Eastern Standard Time for you April ) for the majority of this week has been a challenge. Its too freaking hot for this time of year, its all brown and nasty looking, and there's no mountains! ANYWHERE! How do you Atlantans / Georgians hack this crap? Where's the clouds and rain?! Hurricanes and tornado's??! :mad:

Anyway, I'm flying back to the realm of green grass, evergreens, rain and legalized marijuana tomorrow, and its probably for the best. I would ask the brain trust here to help me with one thing - am I flying into or out of the future on my way back to Washington state? This three hour difference gives me a headache.....

True story: I've got two teens in the house now, girls as you might remember, and those special times of the month are sometimes extra special for me......its like a house of female rage and cranky for a week. Anyway, my 13 year old was basically trying to tell me to lighten up, I don't have to go through the same stuff they do, blah blah blah. I was particularly sensitive to the amount of used insoles in the garbage can one day, and mentioned to her that she really didn't know what she was missing out on, that those fabulous pads have a dual purpose. That shut her up. I proceded to tell her that they can quickly and easily double for insoles, and in fact, I wished that I would have had some when we went to Disneyland. Naturally, I'm met with teen scorn, "oh give me a break dad, you're just trying to be funny" OH AM I?

I pulled up the old pics from this forum, proving to her that it is fact, that I indeed had walked a mile in those shoes.......when she was done laughing and crying in shock, awe, horror and disbelief, I got a great big hug, and a "what were you thinking dad?" It was easily the greatest bonding moment ever.
 
a) there is 4ft of snow here, it's not... hot o_O
b) tampons work for cleaning guns/nosebleeds/bullet wounds, so we usually keep those around. Never thought [ads had a use

4ft of snow in Georgia?? I realized I was being pretty nonspecific in my EST hate, but most of it is directed at this subtropical pit I'm in called Georgia. Sorry for the confusion.

Yup, when you try it out, you'll be a believer.

Nothing warms my cold heart more than contributing to bonding with your family over my horrendous blisters of 2004

Doesn't seem right that its been that long :( I'm all old and stuff now. Still younger than Drool-Boy or whatever he calls himself now, so I've got that going for me.

Holy fuck you're not kidding. Oh to be young and dumb again.

First of all, we are now on EDT. Secondly, not all of the east coast looks like that. Just the shitty parts. Maryland is quite beautiful. We have mountains (although not as big as the ones in the west), pine trees, desiduous trees, lakes, a bay, rivers, an ocean, plains, farms, rolling hills, and cities. We get tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, and all kinds of natural disasters. We get more inches of rain in a year than they get in Seattle. Don't judge us all based on the shit brown south.
