Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours [in bed].
Wayne Dyer
So if I fuck someone over, I’ll get fucked over in bed? Not sure which way to think on this one.

As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.


LANDON DONOVAN: …and that’s good movement in the box.

DEANNA FAVRE: Yeah, but it’s a problem when you don’t use the available space…wait, are we talking about the same thing?

Went to a local farmers’ market this evening, because there’s a vendor there that sells pretty awesome tamales. We’re wandering around, and the missus says, “I want some cookies,” and goes to a vendor that has a sign on their booth, “Blah De Blah Sugar Free/Gluten Free Cookies.” Not normally her style, but she was moving like she had a plan. She tries a sample of banana something or other, then buys three chocolate chip cookies.

So we’re heading home, and the conversation goes like this:

Her: I hope those cookies are better than that sample, it wasn’t very good.
Me: Probably not, since they’re sugar free and gluten free.
Her: WHAT! Why didn’t you stop me from buying that?
Me: You acted like you wanted them, I wasn’t going to argue with you about it.
Her: Well shit. That’s $16 gone. Maybe I’ll give them to mom, she’ll eat them.

We get home. “Mom, I bought you some cookies!”

First, yes.


Second, they were checking on themselves, “Do we have someone to sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame”? To which I replied, “Oh, I can cover it.” So I did.


Did I catch players singing while I played? Also yes.

My neighbor is getting up there in age, (lovely woman, by the way), and at some point is going to sell her house. Or her estate will. At that point I’m going to have to at least consider buying it, to prevent it from going from some private equity firm that rents to college students, which will result in all sorts of pesky things like “disturbing the peace” this, and “retaliatory arson” that, and if I do buy her house I am going to protect myself with an LLC, which you can now bet is going to be named Fuckwallet Pancake Ventures.

Humblebrag time:

I just went for some afternoon coffee, took my older dog Jezebel like I always do – she loves going there for the attention she receives. The two baristas told me that the entire staff took a vote on who was the most bestest favorite customer dog and that Jezebel was the clear winner.

Never been so proud.

For those who were wondering. Larry from Regina couldn’t get a connection today, so he cancelled his TEAMS meeting 3 minutes prior. I knew something was up when his meeting invite did nae have a join option.

I’ve been debating how and when to tell you guys what’s going on here, so I guess this horrendous debate was enough of a buzzkill that my news fits. Guys, Gumby is sick. Very very sick. He has liver cancer, and it’s spread to his lungs. He had his first round of chemo, second round is scheduled for July 8th. Obviously, it won’t cure him, but may make his symptoms a little better, and that’s really all we can hope for. He has some pain, mostly in his right shoulder because his liver is pushing up on his diaphragm, but some in his abdomen too. He has pain meds, and as much weed as he wants. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this, but I want you to know that you have helped me every day.

Oh GG, Mrs. Cola was a dietitian in cancer care and left because of heartbreak. She just said ENJOY EVERY FUCKING day as you, and he will remember the smiles.

Fox has the US Olympic Trials on. Women’s 10,000m final is on. I find these long distance track event hypnotic. They look like they’re just jogging along until you look at the splits and realize they’re basically doing what I’d consider a dead sprint for 25 minutes.

“These guys sure are in good shape” I say, adding whipped cream and strawberries to my banana-chocolate-chip ice cream. “I wonder how they do it?”

I just spent three hours working in the 107. In the shade. So it wasn’t 107.

The boy helped me paint the orange tree for about an hour of it (I know better than to sign up anyone but me for the laborious prep work that makes these ‘little jobs’ so fun and easy). He’s been an absolute nightmare the last 4-5 weeks — so it was a very welcome experience to just work side by side in the heat while he talked about whatever and seemed t9 enjoy himself and helping out.

blaxabbath


So happy! The boy came to visit for a bit as he was traveling with some friends. Got to talk for a bit. Last time I saw him was over 6 months ago.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

The rants yesterday by the Fox studio crew after the game were epic.

I kind of enjoy watching companies I’ve interviewed with that decided not to hire me decline.

Today I searched for ‘laksa’ in the DoorDash app, none of the results had laksa or even contained a word similar to laksa in their listings. Then I browsed the category for Thai food, there were no Thai restaurants listed and the Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants that appeared instead served no Thai food. Quality!

Brick Meathook

This is pure genius. Watch the whole thing:

It is called “Amerigo Vespucci” The world’s most beautiful ship some dude said.

What a game.

Have you ever had problems with your bowel movements?

My doctor recommended Preparation H as a household cure.

My goodness that stuff tastes terrible.

If any of you 21st Century kids are laughing at this, please know that this joke is straight out of vaudeville.

The rest of you are probably not laughing.

Those kids are a group that was eating Tide pods, they may have thought you were serious.

But Dr. Evil told me that Preparation H is good, on the whole!

Trying a strain called Thin Mint. It is not chocolatey nor is it minty, but it does the job quite well.

Well, I for one, would certainly let the hippo win. Can’t kill me if moving away from me.

Nothing like seeing a bunch of Austrians parading in formation while holing a sign that includes the phrase ‘reich’ to get the blood pumping!

Nothing but quality left in the tournament (Italy sits outside looking sad and smelling of pecorino cheese and cheap chianti)

Ben Shapiro bought a country home?

Horatio Cornblower

I did Google it later and I’m not kidding, I got a picture of one pretty girl in Romania gear, several pictures of very attractive women wearing Italy gear, and a few pictures of fat guys in Romanian colors waving flares.

Not an ideal result.

2Pack

I’ve noticed that too. When Googling sexy fans of a certain nation, 6 or 8 pic’s into it you start getting the Italian ladies. I am blessed. You should see the outfits around here this time of the year.

Horatio Cornblower

I think the main problem for the Romanians here is that they’re being forced to play while there’s still some daylight.

ArmedandHammered

Romania needs a strong man to take over and impose his will!

I’ve replayed that scenario in my head tens of times. It’s always with Justin Fields.

Yeah much peace. The internet is an interesting place. Much of it filled with information, but also including it’s share of meanness and nonsense. But the people you meet make it a special place. A better connection with life. I know this because I’ve thought about, and sent my best positive vibes, I call them prayers, to Gumby and his wonderful wife of nearly 42 years.

Gumbygirl

Vibes, prayers, voodoo spells, we are grateful for all of them!
