Perfect.?
Fans conducting NFL draft simulations and posting them online. Actually the whole NFL draft hoopla is lame. Might be one of the most boring things to watch on tv... plus you have to see/listen to Mel Kiper and John Clayton...
Two of my least favorite words in all of sports....mock draft
Having your dishwasher break down when there is a national shortage of major appliances including dishwashers.
p.s. Yes, this is a first world problem
p.s.s It's a 10 year old dishwasher and the cost to repair will be about half the cost of a new one.

It's much better than your refrigerator or washing machine.
Our fridge died last summer. With the wait time for new refrigerators being 3-4 months we had to take what we could get and ultimately settled with a floor model.
We're already dealing with the icemaker not working..... It was not a cheap fridge. :chainsaw:

So true. Washing dishes by hand is easier to deal with than not having a working fridge or washing machine.
Fortunately I was able to find one and we should be able to have it delivered and installed in the next week or too.

We've had to use a laundromat a couple times over the last 10 years with washing machine repairs. One good thing is you can get all of your laundry done in less than 2 hours.
One time I was there and saw a guy who was definitely blue collar (work clothes were covered in black) and he washed what appeared to be a years worth of clothes in one swoop. It was a mountain of clothes. He went through each item and sprayed them down with degreaser before putting them into the washing machines! There has to be 300+ pair of whitey tighties. The smell of the house just before cleaning day had to be something.
Thank God I didn't have to follow him in the machines.

It's just my wife and I with no kids but with my wife working from home and us not eating out as much, we were running our dishwasher almost every other day. Used to be about every 3-4 days. I'm sure this helped in its ultimate demise.

Don’t say this. Ours is 11-12 years old and we run it every single day and sometimes twice on the weekends

My kid’s friends only like cheese pizza. Then if I order a cheese pizza they eat just one piece. What the hell am I going to do with 6 pieces of cheese pizza?

Order half cheese / half something you like. At least that way you only have two leftover slices of plain cheese.

I usually do split but I ordered a medium pizza for him and my kid (who was willing to eat cheese). We weren’t sure how much he would eat. He ended up eating one slice and then came back TWICE asking for snacks later....
My older kid, my wife and I split a different pizza.
Im just keeping a mental list of kids who say they like cheese pizza. We will grill burgers or brats when they come over next.

I gave the option of yogurt or fruit. Even I have limits of junk food.
I like cheese pizza.
Just have an emergency pepperoni stash under your floorboards. Problem solved.
Brilliant ^^^^

I agree. It makes an excellent starting point to add toppings to.

Watching Ken Barlow's forecast this morning, he managed to say "Not a washout" twice in one sentence.

So did the weather lady on the 10:00pm news that I watched last night. 
I have never, ever in the history of TV heard any weather person forecast "washout" in the affirmative.
Kelly’s No Good Horrible WTF night. My hubby goes to bed much earlier then I do, I’m a night owl. So last night I’m done, turn off all the lights, the radio, check the front door. I walk into our dark kitchen, misjudge the door opening up the steps and slam the side of my face into the door jam. I fall down dizzy as :censored: and eventually realize I’m bleeding. I stagger upstairs and wake up hubster. I look like a crime victim and scare the crap out of him. End up at the ER at 1am. Now I have multiple people concerned about abuse and am repeatedly asked. I appreciated the concern and totally get it, I’m sure the old “I ran into a door” is heard over and over, doesn’t help my case even if it’s true. So I broke my nose and the edge of my glasses cut a crescent shaped gash in my temple. That needed 3 stitches. We finally get home at 2:30. There’s blood in the kitchen, up the stairs, our bedroom and bathroom. Oh and the car! He cleaned up this morning as I slept in. I have a nice shiner to go with the tape over my nose and the bandage over the stitches.

Ugh....A female friend of mine once got hit in the face with a softball and she too got a nice shiner. She said her husband got dirty looks when they were out in public together.
p.s. Obviously it should go without saying that I am not making light of actual domestic abuse situations.

A female friend of mine did basically the same thing except she tripped walking down the steps and hit the post at the bottom of the stairs with her face. I still remember thinking, did she really trip or did some guy do this to her? It's an awful feeling to have even though you're 99% sure it was an accident. Hope you heal quickly!

I’m glad you’re ok. Has your husband been brave enough to ask if you’re clumsy or clutzty after the incident?

Feels like those of us who wear glasses always seem to be worse for wear because the glasses cause more damage than the actually incident itself

No, he knows better. 
But I was teasing him today he’d better be nice to me, if I run away or disappear, my blood is spread through our house. He’d be in big trouble. But seriously, after the deep questioning at the hospital I know how suspicious it looked. As crappy and as in pain as I was I did have sympathy for him. We’re separated, I’m questioned by nurse, 2 doctors and he’s sitting in another room, guilty until they’re satisfied with my response.

Glad things are looking up. It reminds me of when my father in law died. My brother in law was living with him, and the FIL passed out and fell. He was then put in hospice and passed a few days later. Right after he passed, the cops showed up at the hospice house and questioned my BIL about all the bruises on the FIL. I know they were doing their jobs, but I really felt horrible for the BIL having to answer questions about that at the hospice house moments after his dad died.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
I cut my eyebrow once running into the corner of a wall. Thankfully it was minor and required no medical intervention. It was due to a couple bottles of wine however.... :brickwall: :drunk:

Oh boy--you really just opened up the floodgates...
You took a slapshot to the face would be about as badass as it gets!
I wonder what the percentages are for injuries suffered from real abuse vs. those resulting from accidents. Sad to say, I'm thinking a the percentage caused be the former is greater than one would think, especially when a couple is involved and the injury occurs after midnight.
Glad you're going to be OK!

As a kid I did something like what you describe above (running away from a timeout my mom gave me 
) and got stitches/still have the scar today.
And sorry to hear about your accident Kelly Red, that really sucks and hopefully all is well now.
I know we are supposed to be available all the time for work, and many are working from home. But don't be irritated when you call me at 12:15 and I don't answer. I am eating lunch and walking away from my computer for 30 minutes. Give me a break.
Weekly I get some passive aggressive voicemail "I didn't see anything on your calendar, so I thought you were working, give me a call when you return". Guy, its 12:15... some people eat food.

Regardless of what I'm doing, I typically respond to that with "I was on the toilet". If they don't like the answer it's their fault for asking.

The thought has crossed my mind. However, one of my co-workers is extremely irritating with things like that. She blocks out her calendar for the entire work day by project. If you call her to talk about a project that is different than her current block of time, she will tell you to call back when she is blocked out for that project... If it is a 30 second answer she will sometimes help, but if it requires her to look something up, she refuses to do it. I have no idea why she has stuck around as long as she has, but I know it isn't easy to fire people.
I just have an un-written rule when I don't call people between 11:45 and 1:15 because I assume they aren't at there desk. I hate coming back from lunch and seeing 6 voicemails lit up on my screen, but it is what it is I guess. Given my personality, maybe people prefer leaving me voicemails...

If it is a 30 second answer she will sometimes help, but if it requires her to look something up, she refuses to do it. I have no idea why she has stuck around as long as she has, but I know it isn't easy to fire people.
I just have an un-written rule when I don't call people between 11:45 and 1:15 because I assume they aren't at there desk. I hate coming back from lunch and seeing 6 voicemails lit up on my screen, but it is what it is I guess. Given my personality, maybe people prefer leaving me voicemails...
Where I work there are no times off limits between 8 and 5. That said we generally try to connect via IM as a way to see if someone is free.
I block 4-5pm for time for me to get work done and workout. I also block Friday afternoons and an hour a few days a week to pickup my daughter at school. I do sometimes try to plan meetings where I don’t need to be at my computer since most of that hour is sitting in a lot waiting for school pickup.
I don’t feel bad about any of this either because I rarely have much time in the day for free time or breaks. That’s been especially true the last 4 weeks since I got promoted
Downloaded the new iOs for my iPad and iPhone over the weekend. Now that both devices are updated I lost all of my iTunes playlists. The music is still there but the playlists are gone. In looking on the internet, apparently this is somewhat common after iOs updates.

You're lucky all seagulls didn't get handguns.

Same for me, except the playlists are there but only about 1/3 of the songs. I still have all the music like you but the playlists are completely screwed up.
Very annoying :chainsaw:
What have I got? I got no snacks and I got no respect.

People that don't know or understand the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. :no:

I posted this comment with a couple of links yesterday regarding the observance of Memorial Day. Memorial Day is the day that we Americans honor those that have died defending our country. It's one of the most somber, patriotic days of observance that we have in our Republic. It is not the day we cheerfully honor all the troops past and present. We don't wish people a "Happy Memorial Day."
Included in my post was President Ronald Reagan's address on Memorial Day,1984. The speech was an inspiring, patriot, gut-wrenching tribute to those brave Americans that have given their lives so that we can live our lives in freedom. Inspiring, patriotic images and film. A great three and a half minute history lesson.
President Reagan's address was absolutely non-political, non-partisan and inspirational. I watched and listened and felt nothing but gratitude toward every man and woman who has died for our country. It reinforced my pride in being an American.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the small number of small minded GPL'ers that complained about the video. You justify your ignorance by complaining that the inclusion of President Reagan's 1984 address was somehow "political" or not appropriate. Oddly enough, the ones that complained were in fact the ones being political. They obviously didn't take the time to view the address and contemplate what was said and what it meant. They were too consumed with politics to care. Your loss.
The complainers out themselves as being the very ones that don't understand or care about the meaning of Memorial Day. Good job. You did a fantastic job of making my point by demanding my post be censored. Your actions couldn't be any more ignorant and un-American.
*If interested, PM me and I will forward the link to President Reagan's address.
All gave some, some gave all.
Memorial Day is for the latter.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
