Superb Owl? Foozeball? Y'all don't get too caught up in your professional sporting events this weekend and forget the ladies in your life. @Juice and @GTE , be nice to you wives. @Rush-O-Matic and @Nettdata , be nice to your moms. Anyone with viewing parties or hot dates planned this weekend? We might get some sushi take out and let the kiddo try it for the first time. Happy Friday everyone. This is the weekend to be naughty, so go bananas you primates.
Valentine’s Day is my birthday so that supersedes any of that nonsense. I’m heading to the Florida Keys tomorrow. See you in a week, kids.
I just bought Jungle Julia's Valentine's present, so I'm all set. Weekend plans consist of disassembling and inspecting a transmission.
I just made chocolate chip cookies for my Mom and sister. I'm sure they'll appreciate them, because DAMN are they tasty.
I'm doing a meat smorgasbord for the game, and perplexed by 65 degree weather yesterday, and the forecast for snow starting tonight. I'm curious if any of y'all have games or apps that are better than Wordle. I got into sudoku for a minute, but that wore off fast. Any good puzzle games or brain ticklers y'all enjoy?
Your husband is a lucky guy. Going to be a very low-key SB for us. The wife barely cares (aka, not at all) when popular teams with household name guys are playing so she just plans to watch the half time show. I'll probably end up going to my brother's place to watch it just so I don't have to sit on the couch by myself.
sporcle.com has a variety of trivia games that can be fun. They're mostly matching and fill in the blank types, but I enjoy seeing if I can remember every word to a monologue from a movie or song, or identifying movie posters, etc. Letterpress is a good multiplayer word game. Washington Post puts up their daily crossword online for free every day. Other newspapers probably do as well. Chess.
Welp, that Uber Eats commercial wins so far. Bonus points for Gwyneth Paltrow taking a bite out a candle that said "this smells like my vagina" and her reaction.
We made pizza last night and got pastries from a good bakery for dessert. That’s about as celebratory as our Valentine’s Day ever gets. Now I’m just lamenting the fact that the pastries and the pizza are all gone.
I don't do the v-day thing... haven't really for years. But, tonight I did do a nice bottle of wine, and had some leftover beef tenderloin... so did up some butter/pepper egg noodles in a creamy Parmesan sauce, and sauted up some red peppers, dried tomatoes (home grown/dried), black olives, garlic, in a bit of killer balsamic to sprinkle over it, with some reheated beef tenderloin from last night. It was pretty fucking tasty, and so quick and easy to make.
Wrapping up work after 12 hours and I swear customers and insurance companies are doing their damnedest to piss me off. I'm finally heading home and my V-day gift to the wife is to not be a surly asshole because that's the mood I'm in right now.
for my wife and I it's just an excuse to make some good food and relax. Kids get pumped with candy all day at school so they crash after dinner, though my wallet is not enjoying the fact that they are both eating an entire steak by themselves now. After 11 years of marriage, we're very content to go to bed early ourselves. I wonder how many people had their vday plans ruined by hangovers from the superbowl?
Man, you got some tough choices to make. Get a PhD? Get a tattoo? Fuck a spider? The world’s your oyster.
