| 15:05.39 | plarsen | Good morning |
| 15:08.39 | jsmith | It's good? |
| 15:08.45 | jsmith | Glad to hear it's good for somebody ;-) |
| 15:51.59 | plarsen | awww - c'on - it's christmas next week :) |
| 15:52.09 | plarsen | where's that "go-get-em" spirit? |
| 15:53.18 | jsmith | Bah humbug! |
| 15:53.37 | jsmith | Seriously, there are two times of the year I dread... This happens to be one of them. |
| 15:53.49 | jsmith | Maybe it's because I spent six hours yesterday doing what should have taken two. |
| 15:54.01 | jsmith | (Buying furniture for my wife for Christmas) |
| 15:57.34 | plarsen | ohhhh jolly :) |
| 15:57.56 | plarsen | See - that's part of what I'll never understand ... I assume you LIVE in the same house as her, so how come it's HER furniture?? :D |
| 15:57.56 | jsmith | So, I borrowed a truck and drove to Alexandria |
| 15:58.20 | jsmith | It's because I'm fine with the old couches, but they don't match the way *she's* decorated the new house |
| 15:58.30 | plarsen | hehe - welcome to my world |
| 15:58.32 | jsmith | So they're to keep *her* from going crdazy |
| 15:58.39 | plarsen | but it's still "our" stuff ... she just picked it out ;) |
| 15:58.46 | jsmith | Anyway, I drove to Alexandria |
| 15:58.52 | jsmith | Bought a couch and a chair |
| 15:58.57 | jsmith | Asked them if they had it in stock |
| 15:59.07 | jsmith | They said "Sure, we can get it loaded right up in your truck" |
| 15:59.19 | jsmith | I pay for the furniture, and ask where the loading dock is |
| 15:59.25 | jsmith | That's when they hand me a map |
| 15:59.43 | jsmith | and say "Drive to Forrestville" |
| 16:00.11 | jsmith | a minute later, they come back and say "Uh, the Forrestville store only has one of the items. If you want them both before Christmas, you'll have to drive to Laurel, MD" |
| 16:00.25 | jsmith | So it's 3:30pm, and I'm in Alexandria |
| 16:00.40 | jsmith | And my choice is to drive to Laurel, or have an upset wife |
| 16:00.57 | jsmith | So I drive... and I drive... and I sit in traffic, and I pull my hair out |
| 16:01.11 | jsmith | I didn't get home until 8:30pm... |
| 16:01.37 | jsmith | And you wonder why I say "bah humbug?" |
| 16:02.06 | plarsen | I guess you were in the same traffic on 95S I was going to the lug meeting .... |
| 16:02.22 | plarsen | That's why we have cell phones ;) |
| 16:02.32 | plarsen | If I don't call mine I get in trouble too |
| 16:02.38 | jsmith | Oh, I had a cell phone |
| 16:02.47 | jsmith | The battery died |
| 16:02.52 | jsmith | So I put in my backup battery |
| 16:02.54 | jsmith | and it died |
| 16:03.07 | jsmith | So I stopped at Staples, and spent $23 for another cell phone charger |
| 16:03.14 | jsmith | See where this is going? |
| 16:03.26 | plarsen | awwww .... |
| 16:03.33 | plarsen | hence the car-charger ;) |
| 16:03.58 | plarsen | yeah, I've had a dead phone or been in areas with no cell connection. Still get in trouble if I don't call ... no way you can win ;) |
| 16:03.59 | jsmith | I have a car charger, but forgot to bring it with me in this borrowed trunk |
| 16:04.44 | plarsen | See - so it WAS your fault ... hehe |
| 16:06.25 | jsmith | Of course it's my fault -- she married me! |
| 16:08.51 | plarsen | you could have said no ;) |
| 16:08.51 | plarsen | lol |
| 16:08.51 | jsmith | Yeah... just imagine where I'd be without my wife ;-) |
| 16:08.52 | jsmith | I'd probably be a lazy good-for-nothing bum on the street |
| 16:08.52 | plarsen | hehe |
| 16:08.52 | plarsen | true true |
| 16:08.52 | jsmith | Nope, it wasn't a shotgun wedding |
| 16:09.08 | jsmith | But her father is probably giving me a shotgun for Christmas... does that count? |
| 16:26.28 | plarsen | was it loaded? |
| 16:26.32 | plarsen | IS ;) |
| 16:26.50 | plarsen | it really depends if he gives it to ya with the mouth/front first ;) |
| 16:26.59 | plarsen | and a bullet in the barrol |
| 16:27.18 | plarsen | But once you had said your "i do" it really doesn't matter ;) |
| 16:29.48 | jsmith | "When you marry the girl, you marry the family!" |
| 16:30.02 | jsmith | Actually, I get along great with my in-laws... sometimes I wonder if they like me better than they like her. |
| 16:31.58 | jsmith | stickster_afk: Let me know when you're back... I've got details for FudCON |
