The 32nd Random TPBM Chat Thread Featuring Eric, the Armchair Mod Quarterback

Looks like 3 climbers on Mt Hood have lost their lives.

[mini rant] I feel sorry for the climbers that are up there, lost, I do. I feel for their families below waiting to hear word. I respect those that are searching for them in very violent and inclement weather.

Here's the thing, tho'. It's December. More specifically, it's December in the Northern Hemisphere.

When it's December in the Northern Hemisphere, you do not go on top of things that start with "Mount" or "Mountain" or "Alp" or even "Slightly Raised Landfill". You do not go climbing all over things that sport glaciers all year long.

Hey, I get the whole "Man v. Nature" thing. The "Climb it... because it's there" mentality. I can see the draw in that. But ponder this: When you do go up there to prove to yourself that you can conquer Nature (you can't, btw), and you eventually get lost, trapped and broken on the face of some mountain that you didn't respect, in December in the Northern Hemisphere, a bunch of people who did NOT want to go up onto that mountain will have to in order to save your stupid butt. Families will go through horrendous ordeals in the aftermath. Kids without parents.

All because you wanted to go on top of a Mountain. In December. In the Northern Hemisphere.

Giant dog and a water fountain. I want a water fountain in the living room.

I laughed on the inside.


Actually, someone keeps winding her up every evening about 7:00. She's totally calm and then suddenly OUTOFCONTROLBARKINGTHR​OWTHEKONGCRAZY! Doing much else is pretty much impossible during those times.

Buddy goes nuts for his dumbell toy every evening and it's usually me that ends up playing with him.

Whew, what a long evening. My SIL wanted ride along, which I appreciated, however it took me on a different route and I made a wrong turn because I forgot to plug in the address in the GPS before leaving and she doesn't know how to make them work so we were 20 minutes or better off course though headed in the right direction was OK though as we got to the meet up point just a few minutes behind CJ and Marge. *deep breath* Then we sang all the kid songs we could think of in the between SIL telling Bax to go lay down, though if she had just left him alone he would have settled down any way but that got Aiden going also on telling Bax to lay down and we were all hungry so we decided to find a bite to eat in Dixon but the right route this time took us around all the places to eat so we had to back track. *deep breath* We decided to eat in the car so we could keep moving though we did get out to order so Aiden could go potty so then it was keeping Bax from trying to eat Aiden's food and in the middle of trying to eat Curt called wondering how far out we were and wanted to talk to Aiden but we all had our hands full so I held up the phone so Curt could say hi and Aiden could say hi back then we got to SIL's house and all the kids wanted to say hi and it was potty time again plus Bax needed to get out for a bit too but Baily's bone looked so good and it was hard to get him back in the car. *deep breath* Finally on the road again and Aiden kept asking "What's that?" like I could see what he was pointing at in the dark while trying to drive, but Bax settled right down since no one was on him to lay down all the time and then suddenly all was quiet it was nice and I turned on the CD player again then we got home said Hi to grandpa found Lightening McQueen which took awhile because I forgot exactly where I had put him when I cleaned at Thanksgiving the brushed teeth, final potty, into the jammies, a bed time story and instructions to stay in bed but OK to keep looking at the book after I came downstairs now I'm here with beer in hand. Ahhhhhh. *Deep breath*

So how are all of you doing?

Pant, pant, pant...

How do you photograph a camouflaged dog?

She reminds me of a Marine in a ghillie suit...

Didn't get far in catching up, the sleepies kept grabbing hold. I'm going to give in to them. I'll see you all tomorrow...BTW I do have to appear for Jury Duty tomorrow, which doesn't surprise me, now we'll see if I get picked or not. G'Nite all.

Good eye, dunno. Night Bucky. If you get picked may it be an interesting one

Josh just asked me if 'they make black pitbulls'.

"they" do. It is REALLY time you had that talk with him Cat. Want me to do it? I can explain it all real good but I am really sorry I will have to tell him what you and Wade did to get him.


:p:p

John, what the heck is the point of that "thing?"

I don't rant often, but when I do, it requires italics and bold faced fonts.

It is a really long story but the game thread is here. We talked to much there, they sent us here.

This is a companion thread to the TPBM game.
We chat here, play there.

I'm not John....but it is to help you kill someone without them killing you first. Hiding in the tall grass and brush is the name of the game.
