Our Fishman, Who art in rhombus,
W00kie be thy name.
These hippies come With guitar and drum
On tour as it is in Gamehendge.
Give this day our daily toke
And forgive us our WSP stats
As we forgive spreadheads that come to our Phish shows.
Lead us not into the Biscuits
And deliver us from Umphrey's

DA WEEKEND!

You started it, my friend!

GM.net!

GM.net! Sun is burning through fog here in NY, storms seem to have travelled on. Signs of brighter days ahead I hope. Lots of rebuilding still ahead but We Will Survive! Thanks to all .netters positive vibes sent out to us east coasters. Much needed and appreciated. Looking forward to shaking the sand from Sandy out of my butt at MSG run (perhaps to a raging Sand?!).

bout to go job hunting.

hope i come back here employed today

Hahahaha, awesome @ JayDubya

Morning all.

ERRRRRMRRRRRGRRRRRD!!!!
I'm not posting from work, and the weather is GORGEOUS! Just getting some chow in me, then heading up to the woodlot to spend some quality time. Outlier of a fall day here.

The roads were empty this am and then I realized - Its Veteran's Day. The day that EVERY other school has off except for mine. Lame Sauce.

Morning cupuscakus,

My son's school is opened today as well. What's up with that?

Veteran Haters.
Adding insult to injury, the smell of bacon is waffting into my library and I wasn't even invited to the celebratory breakfast. #losing.

Good morning all. Sad news. One of our first pets (we got him at the same time as his littermate/sister, Emma), Finnegan, is going to be put to sleep this afternoon. He's suffering and it's time. He's been dealing with ear/ear infection issues for a few years now and we just haven't been able to get the damned thing cleared up. We tried multiple different medication regimens, multiple vets, he had surgery last year, etc., etc., etc. It's spread to the point where this weekend he started having walking/balance issues, he barely eats at all. We won't let him continue like that.

So my morning started by explaining to a 3 year old why one of her cats won't be here when she gets home from school. Brutal. Absolutely brutal.

It breaks my heart but it's the only thing left that we can do for him.

Hey @mmetch - thanks for the kind words about the kids this weekend? How's the little one?

Here you go, @johnnyd, you can borrow it

@mfhgreyboy, that is awful. My mom has had to put all four of our family cats to sleep in the last year with the mist recent being a couple weeks ago. Very sad.

Emsley is a dream come true. Pure magic. I would like to sleep more than two hours at a time, but she's a hungry baby. My life is a series of naps.

Thanks. In addition to being broken up about Finn, I AM concerned about how this will effect Emma. She's never been away from him. Ever.

I'm very happy to hear you and @captainpookie are enjoying it. The sleeping thing will improve. Just when you are getting accustomed to functioning in the zombie like state that every parent exists in for the first year and a half or so, things will start turning around. First the 11 pm feeding stops. Then the 3 am. And, eventually, you can get a full night of sleep.

Morning all

@Johnnyd got tickets for Scuba last night. The Verboten parties usually start at 11 and go to 6, the Scuba party starts at 10 and goes to 9

@mfhgreyboy - I am so sorry to hear that. Whatever you do, don't tell her the "Farm" story... explain, as positively as you can, that Finn went to a better place, where his body felt young again and he is bouncing and catching mice and happy.

@mmetch - ironic how "cat -like" we become as new parents. Naps rule

I remember the first time Maxwell slept through the night, I woke up at 7 am in a blind panic and rushed in to his room and there he was sleeping peacefully while I had a heart attack.

And though it could be trying at times, I didn't mind the 2 or 3 am feedings. I used to pre load either Family Guy or The Simpson's into the DVD player before I went to bed. All I would have to do is sit down and hit play, he was usually done in the time it took to watch one episode.

Gm.net well my first serving shift at work today, im deathly afraid of people for some reason, but its a step that needs to be made if I want to make my way into managment... So im going in with open arms... I get nervous about the dumbest stuff im sure ill be fine but im just a nervous wreck for no reason

Did any of your babies scream or shout in their sleep?

Also, I crave a mike show. When will he announce his tour? And why can't I be his BFF?

@mmetch said:

I can't recall this ever happening. Quinn was great - she's tough to get down, but once she actually got to sleep she stayed there (still does). Ian's amazing. He doesn't even want you to rock him to sleep, cuddle, anything like that. Once he's had some milk he just wants to be left alone in his crib to fall asleep by himself.

So, aside from the typical "I'm making noises because I'm not asleep yet", I can't say that we've had screaming/shouting issues. Especially not after they fell asleep.

I seriously want to be bffs with mike.

Johnny saw the shiny handle glinting in the sun and instantly had the urge to ballknob it.
its only 11 here and you already made my day! sorry gotta send some hate to all you people talking about good weather in your area. it was almost 70 and sunny here all weekend and when i wake up this morning to DERP my day away there is snow on the ground. ERRMERRGAADDD i just put my all my warm clothes in the attic!

I have had raging cravings for pork fried egg rolls with spicy mustard.

I could go for a sandwhich.

No text

GM.net

I usually try to make it until at least noon at work to eat my lunch, but my resolve is breaking. So hungry. I might just eat the damn sandwich soon, too. What makes it harder is it's a good one- roast beef and swiss with maple mustard on a pretzel roll.

Other than, just doing all of the derping.

@mmetch - Hopefully the new neighbors don't mind random baby screams and shouts throughout the night!

@Rutherford_B_Raves: TLG, New Mastersounds, Cabinet, Greensky, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Soulive, Lettuce....

I'm pretty sure each of these acts are fairly represented on archive. You can start with the "highest rated" or "most downloaded" and I'm sure that will be a great start. I could give you some suggestions for some of these if you'd rather not hunt and peck on your own. Let me know.
