It is 12:42, so it is morning somewhere. I spent the night learning proper technique to stab myself in the leg. Now I'm going to bed. I'll be waking up in a few hours for a massage, then going to a Christmas party.

Just walking back to the hotel from my best friend's wedding. Seeing my little girl tomorrow morning, as she has been with my mother-in-law since Friday.

Morning monkeys!

BigT is testing for her 2nd degree black belt today, and I get to help test her and about 100 others going for rank. I'm going to have fun. They might not, but I will.

Be safe out there.

 

[eaterofdog]

I hope you gentlemen are having a splendid weekend.

brewing coffee, looking out at all the trees swaying in the strong winds and the rain is just dumping down. Looks like it's another indoor workout day.

Thought I was dieing..... Passed out a few times from not breathing. woke up in the bus with wires and tubes and all that in me..... Turns out I really am just a puss.... Passed one stone this morning though... three more to go

 

[Serial Midget]

Kidney stones are the WORST pain I have ever experienced so I feel for you! As for the opiates - you're just doing it wrong... measure, meter and mellow.

Good afternoon from Playa del Carmen! Can't effing believe how late we slept in today. Wind is up so snorkeling is out, we're boogie boarding for now instead. Tide is in and winds are onshore so it's margarita time. Lots of beautiful people around here. Fat people are inevitably Americans.

Opiates do not work for pain with me, they just literally make me pissed off... sucks cause they were willing to give me some good **** last night

Back in CO. Picked up Haley from Wifey's mother before we jumped on the plane, as she was staying with her since Friday. She now has a really nasty cough and badly running nose.

Her mom is a hoarder, so the house is filthy. Ancient dust, and god only knows what else floating in the air there. She has never ending ling problems. If she passed any of that along to Haley, I am going to be beyond livid. I'm pissed enough as it is. On our next trip out, we are going to have to burn two days, just trying to make a dent into the mess. Seriously pissed right now.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Don't sweat it... dirt's good for kids. And kids are tough.

I understand that. The isht there from when I threw away a TV that hasn't worked in 4 years and two VCR's that have not worked in at least as long. When I left, I was coughing something fierce. I understand dirt. This is squalor.

Just keep the visits to under 72 hours...

48 was pushing my comfort level. Either way, next trip I will show up with a trash can and one of these

. I'll also be bringing along a scanner, a few hard drives, and a couple of electronic frames. Scan it-save it-display it. That should allow me to open up about 80% of the wall space and about 2% of the flat space. My (and wifey's) end goal is to have one room cleared and the others clean enough that we can have a cleaner come every 2 weeks.

Is she is a true horder, it may be a lot more difficult to get her to throw away stuff than you may think. Good luck Mark.

Well, the only thing more important to her that Wifey, is Haley. If that overhead threat isn't enough, I don't know what is. The leverage on that means that every time we are in the Bay Area, Haley will be staying with Wifey's Dad and step-mom, across the freeway. If not being able to spend time with Haley while we are in SF means she will need to clean up some, than I don't know what will.
