Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-10T11:49:11-05:00
Not to their livers, though, BaKhan.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T12:08:53-05:00
@Zem... sigh, nevermind.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-10T12:21:12-05:00
Just saying it's a bit more creepy than impaling their livers. Maybe brazen bull it. With a nice Chianti.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T12:25:40-05:00
@Zem, if I have to explain it, its not funny. So, in the name of killing the humor... Geist said her liver was in love with me (her liver, not her), my wife being the jealous type would want to kill her liver, hence the liver on the greasy pole. It wasn't a great joke, but then again, I'm not a great comedian, either way, its dead now. Where have all the flowers gone...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-10T12:27:04-05:00
@BaKhan: You would think I would know that tidbit since I'm a horror fan. Too distracted by that flask you showed me.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T12:28:36-05:00
@Geist, its all good. ;) I think work is making me grumpy, and they don't pay me enough for that dammit!
@BaKhan: I know that feeling well...and add in the fact that the excel file we fill out after every payroll is out of balance, and three of us can't find out how/where....that doesn't make things any better. But the kitten wearing a tuxedo that I saw on Facebook helps a bit.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-10T13:29:23-05:00
The greasy pole, .......isn't that a name of a burger and shake place?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T14:12:30-05:00
@Trinkets, lol! Still on that vibe eh? (<--- thats my Canadian side showing...)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-10T15:55:29-05:00
BaKhan, you thought I didn't get that joke? Sorry I may have made it sound that way. I just thought it was an impractical method of execution, like performing the blood eagle on a liver when you could throw it in a brazen bull with some fava beans and have it with a nice chianti.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T15:57:42-05:00
@Zem, its all good. I think I'm just cranky. Now do I jump on the booze wagon? Maybe... maybe...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-10T15:57:50-05:00
Welcome to the greasy pole. Today the triple-bypass burger is $1 off for charity. How may I help you? (read in the voice of Roz from Monsters, Inc. in my mind for whatever reason)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-10T16:01:01-05:00
Just saw the movie "Legend". Very good flick. Tom Hardy was brilliant in it as the Kray twins.
On another note, no one should be as good looking as Tom Hardy.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T16:17:21-05:00
I saw the movie Legend about 30 years ago.... ;) Tim Curry as Darkness is still the creepiest devil ever!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-10T16:35:49-05:00
I remember that movie. If I had been the damsel, I would have picked Tim's character, especially since his skin was my favorite color
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-10T16:36:17-05:00
Tim Curry is the best villain ever. But trust me from experience: do NOT watch Rocky Horror Picture Show and then Muppet Treasure Island in the next day or two. It will mess them both up!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-10T16:45:15-05:00
Oh when you're a professional pirate... from sweet Transexual... Transylvaniaaaaa!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T16:49:13-05:00
I could see how that would be a problem... lolz!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-10T16:58:18-05:00
Trying not to imagine Long John Silver in lingerie kind of detracts from the movie-watching experience. I will say, though, that it was funny as heck for entirely new reasons.
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-10T17:30:17-05:00
Hello all.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but the new house is keeping me busy (in addition to all the other crap I have to do). This week was a banner week. We got a couple of inspections done. The front porch is now poured and hardened, all but two doors are in, the insulation installers went through the house like grass through a goose, and insulated the living crap outta it, and the siding installers are slowly working their way around the whole thing. Tomorrow drywall gets delivered, and we begin warming the interior so the drywallers can work with the materials at the correct temperature.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T17:36:16-05:00
@PoT, hey! Good to hear you're making good progress with the house! Congrats!
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-10T17:46:41-05:00
Thank you BaKhan. It has been a trial, but seeing the progress helps.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-10T17:47:37-05:00
PoT, what did they use for insulation, fiberglass batts or spray foam?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-10T17:48:56-05:00
Or mineral wool, which won't mold, good stuff!
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-10T18:06:56-05:00
I think it's fiberglass batting, although it's not the pink batting I'm used to. It's a much earthier color. I don't know what mineral wool is.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-10T18:15:47-05:00
I don't, either, but I'm sure it's terrible for making socks.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-10T19:00:22-05:00
We have used the Roxul mineral fiber insulation, but mostly in commercial situations. Fantastic stuff. It is a lot more dense than fiberglass. Kind og a gray-green color. And not really fibery(if that's a word) like fiberglass.
Pink is Owens Corning, there mascot was the Pink Panther. I haven't seen them push him in a while.
Johns Manville is usually brown or white.
Guardian is yellow.
CertainTeed is white.
Everyone wants to have their own color to stand apart.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-10T19:02:31-05:00
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-10T19:05:27-05:00
Funny story about insulation. We had a foundation sitting, waiting for the floor system to be put on. The drain pipes coming up through the basement slab had batts of fiberglass stuffed in them temporarily. Someone thought it was funny to climb down in the foundation, pull out the fiberglass, take a dump in the pipe, and wiped their butt with the fiberglass insulation.
Oh yeah.
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-10T19:32:02-05:00
The insulation we have is mostly brownish with some gray in it, It appears to be made of tufts of material all put together is a very haphazard looking arrangement in each strip. Depending in the "R" value it looks to be between 6 and 10 inches thick with a kraft paper backing.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-10T19:38:44-05:00
Sounds like Johns Manville.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-10T19:42:06-05:00
Just for curiosity sake, what are you putting on for siding? Vinyl, cement board, brick, wood, smartside, or other?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-10T19:44:08-05:00
Roof,......steel or asphalt?
Just being nosey. And I know you have nothing better to do than to answer my questions, lol.
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-10T19:56:53-05:00
The siding is just composite LC siding, it has the same warranty as Hardyboard with way less downside for installation. The roof is 20 year warranted asphalt shingles nailed to 5/8" (16mm) exterior grade plywood.
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-10T19:58:34-05:00
There will be limestone to the bottom of the windows on the front of the house. The exterior is meant to look Craftsman style, the interior is traditional/modern.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-10T21:07:47-05:00
Trinkets, let me guess, all it took to find them was looking in the hospital directory under "embarrassing butt stuff". You got them back without even trying. They were just stupid enough to make themselves pay for it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-11T00:41:25-05:00
Last day of classes! While it's not high school, I do like the college schedule, with big breaks and stuff.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T06:38:53-05:00
Morning kittens! Happy Friday! The weather this weekend is expected to go up to nearly 70 degrees so I plan to be out and about the whole time
If I can't go in after talking to the doctor, then I will eat them myself out of sadness....and it will be over a couple days/weeks.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-11T09:58:52-05:00
Geist, here it's finally getting back down to the 40s and then the 30s next week. I'm tired of 60 degrees! It's winter, let it snow!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T11:03:05-05:00
*sigh* Never fails. I leave work for one day & come back to a sh*t storm
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-11T11:29:19-05:00
It's their way of showing they love you. They missed you so much all they could think about was you, so they saved up all the extra work just to celebrate your magnificent return!
Wasn't today the day BaKhan went to see the specialist?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T15:44:30-05:00
@GM: I thought it was on the 16th?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T15:49:13-05:00
Can today be over yet?
------------------------------
I second that prayer.
I spent the last 20 minutes tearing my cubicle apart thinking I had lost a check. Turns out I never printed it because it isn't due until January. Still, the fact that the one day I have off is the same day that my back up called in sick and didn't show up today until after noon (the office closes today at 3 for the company party) so that I had double the amount of utility checks that needed to be printed pronto. And the fact that the sheets didn't balance helped not one bit. That has put me in such a mood that I really don't want to go to this fricking party, free booze be damned.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T15:49:59-05:00
Good to know you are going to recover GM. I still want all of your cookies. (I don't mean that as dirty as it sounds)
Is it the 16th? I just remember it's around this time...could be next week...can't really thing past the hot doctor that's running through my mind.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-11T16:02:59-05:00
Just commenting so you know I'm still here. ;)
Like you wouldn't have guessed. But I'm nearly only 500 comments under LZ finally! Don't tell him, but I think I'll pass him here within the next several months!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T16:25:21-05:00
@GM: You should have offered the hot doctor some cookies.
I should just carry around some recently baked cookies...then ask all the hotties if they want fresh cookies.....too bad most of them will think they are drugged cookies.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T16:38:13-05:00
Yeah, that's the problem these days. There are more people, therefore there are more sickos out there who do stupid things like drug/poison stuff that is given out for free just because.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-11T17:13:05-05:00
Geist, haven't you heard of the rules of the internet? Rule 34. Just look it up. And then Rule 35 in case 34 doesn't apply. Sexy santa has been a thing since santa, the internet just made it more readily available.
Powers of Tesla 2015-12-11T17:37:58-05:00
if anyone sees Trinkets, tell him my house does in fact have mineral wool fiber batting insulation, I checked it today. I wonder how much more that cost?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T19:11:04-05:00
One hour into the Xmas party & I already crave a vodka and Bailey's.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-11T19:13:08-05:00
A christmas party without those?! Must be an AA party!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T19:30:58-05:00
Wine. Taste like sour grapes. Was the strongest stuff they have here.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-11T19:35:39-05:00
Well, that's kind of what wine is, so you can't blame them for trying. Just boil it. Distill the alcohol out and then pour some of the water back into that. Who wants 150 proof wine shots?!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-11T20:18:37-05:00
A Christmas party that plays Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" isn't a total loss
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-13T00:47:13-05:00
WHOA! SO SORRY! Completely uncharacteristic of me to not have checked in all day! I swear it won't happen again, at least until christmastime. I woke up really early for donuts, helped my brother get an X box and the better games for it, and then he convinced me to go home and watch him set up and play for the first time. His friends came over as well during my nap (I had 3 hours of sleep) and stayed. But then something happened that completely changed today.
Have any of you had something completely surprising blindside you like this? I'm sure you have, but that friend of my brother's said that his sister, someone I'd grown up with in my class (small, rural school, you know the same people all the way through elementary to high school), had gone off and eloped with a guy she'd met he said one month before. That alone is surprising, especially considering the people in the community and how unordinary that is, but her?! The whole time I kept thinking, oh that's actually cool that I know someone who did that! Then... if you asked anyone in my class, even her, they would have said that she would be flat out the least likely person to do something like that. That she'd be literally the first person in my class to marry even over a girl in my class and a guy in the one above us who will definitely marry as soon as he's out of the military, likely before. Maybe I can see her being put in a position to do something like that rather than the normal course, considering her family, but still. It'll take quite some time to wrap my head around this. Wow, I wrote my whole day's worth here!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-13T00:48:10-05:00
Sorry that's so long, but interesting enough to be, in my mind, worth the read. I mean, you'd've read back through all of today's comments anyways, so since it's the only one, it's not that much less.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-13T16:08:37-05:00
Nobody here today either? Jeez, it's not a holiday yet, get back in here and get some work done!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-13T17:43:41-05:00
Future me is a genius who loves to do work, but that past me guy... he can be a real asshole sometimes.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-13T19:08:56-05:00
*Sigh* Another weekend gone in a flash. I want the holidays to get here already
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-14T03:13:02-05:00
Back to the week again. At least it's not normal for me. Unfortunately, 2 really tough finals hours apart and an easier one thursday, then I have to be able to leave straight after it. It's going to be a busier week than I'd hoped. But after that, I get to laugh at all of you because I have such a lucrative holiday break.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T09:33:03-05:00
Good Morning Kittens! Here's hoping for a good week for all of us! Sorry to hear about your leg GM! Geist had it right, my appointment is on Wednesday. I haven't been able to sleep very well the last couple of days. Normally I'm able to be calm in the face of bad news, but this is streching my limits for sure. I'm so very glad for all of you!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T09:49:21-05:00
I'm sure you will be fine BaKhan. You are made KC tough!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-14T09:54:11-05:00
Good morning Geist, BaKhan.
I knew GM hurt his leg last week. Was it broken?
@PoT, that's good. That stuff will be better than the fiberglass batts.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T09:59:54-05:00
@Trinkets, If I read it correctly, it was just twisted / sprained, not broken. Still would hurt like a bastard though...
@BaKhan: Ah, I guess I had my dates messed up. And Geist has the right of it, you are KC tough!
@Trinkets: Not broken, just a bad strain from having twisted my knee three times in 6 steps(literally, took a step with my left foot, nothing happened, step with right, twist my knee causing some pain, repeat two more times....walk it off - no pain by the time I got home - and go to bed feeling fine, wake up at 4am gasping in pain, and clutching my right calf, couldn't even stand up to open my door, took me 5min just to do that...normally I can stretch from the corner of my bed and reach the door handle, took 15min to hobble to the bathroom - 30sec or less walk normally - then another 15 to get back to my bed).
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T10:38:00-05:00
Morning GM & Trinkets!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-14T10:43:08-05:00
Good that nothing is broken, but sprains and other muscle/ligament issues can be as bad, sometimes worse.
Yeah, I couldn't even take a shower until yesterday since I couldn't balance on my right leg for longer than a split second. There was no way I was stepping into a bathtub with that, and not falling down.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T10:51:52-05:00
@GM: You couldn't hire a sexy CNA to visit and give you a sponge bath?
@Geist: Probably could have...but the only hard part would be the sexy...not all of them are, and I don't think I would get to pick and choose which one I wanted....though, that doctor I saw on Friday...she could have given me a sponge bath anytime.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T11:18:44-05:00
@GM, nothing wrong with sexy doctors! ;) I mean, I married one... ;)
Not to their livers, though, BaKhan.

Morning kittens! Happy Friday! The weather this weekend is expected to go up to nearly 70 degrees so I plan to be out and about the whole time
Not a good morning. Twisted my knee walking from the bus yesterday...now I can't even put weight on my leg. Waiting to go see a doctor today. -.-
Awwww GM. I hope the doctor fixes you right up. On the bright side, you don't have to deal with the stress of work
Except today is our Christmas Potluck. I have cookies for everyone.
I would be happy to eat those for you
If I can't go in after talking to the doctor, then I will eat them myself out of sadness....and it will be over a couple days/weeks.
Geist, here it's finally getting back down to the 40s and then the 30s next week. I'm tired of 60 degrees! It's winter, let it snow!
*sigh* Never fails. I leave work for one day & come back to a sh*t storm
It's their way of showing they love you. They missed you so much all they could think about was you, so they saved up all the extra work just to celebrate your magnificent return!
So nothing major with my leg. Just a bad sprain according to the hot doctor.
I can see how that appointment went. ;)
So cookies to the party after all or will you eat them all yourself anyways?
I'll take them in on Monday. They will be late, but they will be there.
And I wish it went that way Zem. I couldn't stop looking at her, and when she left the room looking her over. Only problem was the ring.
That's actually my luck most of the time. There is usually a ring on their finger when I find that someone that I would kill to date.
Did it look like one from a cereal box? There's still hope!
Off to my last class of the semester! Whee!!!
No, it had diamonds on it. Also, she is up in Airdrie while I'm in Calgary. Roughly 20min away by car....and I don't currently drive.
Aw, don't discredit yourself. You could make it work! I would suggest not trying, but you could conceivably.
A taken woman is off-limits no matter what Zem.
Can today be over yet?
Aren't you the boss LZ?
Yes, but I have a couple of meetings this afternoon
Moving up just means less manual work and more meetings. Not sure if that makes it much better, but the pay sure helps ease the mind.
Wasn't today the day BaKhan went to see the specialist?

I actually mean it GM. I'd rather drink with friends than an office full of clicky people. Booze is meant to be enjoyed.
Is it the 16th? I just remember it's around this time...could be next week...can't really thing past the hot doctor that's running through my mind.
Just commenting so you know I'm still here. ;)
Like you wouldn't have guessed. But I'm nearly only 500 comments under LZ finally! Don't tell him, but I think I'll pass him here within the next several months!
@GM: You should have offered the hot doctor some cookies.
I should just carry around some recently baked cookies...then ask all the hotties if they want fresh cookies.....too bad most of them will think they are drugged cookies.
Apparently, sexy Santa is a thing.

@GM: It's the world we live in. You could have offered a stranger cookies back in the 60's and not gotten the side eye.
Yeah, that's the problem these days. There are more people, therefore there are more sickos out there who do stupid things like drug/poison stuff that is given out for free just because.
Geist, haven't you heard of the rules of the internet? Rule 34. Just look it up. And then Rule 35 in case 34 doesn't apply. Sexy santa has been a thing since santa, the internet just made it more readily available.
if anyone sees Trinkets, tell him my house does in fact have mineral wool fiber batting insulation, I checked it today. I wonder how much more that cost?
One hour into the Xmas party & I already crave a vodka and Bailey's.
A christmas party without those?! Must be an AA party!
Wine. Taste like sour grapes. Was the strongest stuff they have here.
Well, that's kind of what wine is, so you can't blame them for trying. Just boil it. Distill the alcohol out and then pour some of the water back into that. Who wants 150 proof wine shots?!
A Christmas party that plays Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" isn't a total loss
WHOA! SO SORRY! Completely uncharacteristic of me to not have checked in all day! I swear it won't happen again, at least until christmastime. I woke up really early for donuts, helped my brother get an X box and the better games for it, and then he convinced me to go home and watch him set up and play for the first time. His friends came over as well during my nap (I had 3 hours of sleep) and stayed. But then something happened that completely changed today.
Have any of you had something completely surprising blindside you like this? I'm sure you have, but that friend of my brother's said that his sister, someone I'd grown up with in my class (small, rural school, you know the same people all the way through elementary to high school), had gone off and eloped with a guy she'd met he said one month before. That alone is surprising, especially considering the people in the community and how unordinary that is, but her?! The whole time I kept thinking, oh that's actually cool that I know someone who did that! Then... if you asked anyone in my class, even her, they would have said that she would be flat out the least likely person to do something like that. That she'd be literally the first person in my class to marry even over a girl in my class and a guy in the one above us who will definitely marry as soon as he's out of the military, likely before. Maybe I can see her being put in a position to do something like that rather than the normal course, considering her family, but still. It'll take quite some time to wrap my head around this. Wow, I wrote my whole day's worth here!
Sorry that's so long, but interesting enough to be, in my mind, worth the read. I mean, you'd've read back through all of today's comments anyways, so since it's the only one, it's not that much less.
Nobody here today either? Jeez, it's not a holiday yet, get back in here and get some work done!
Future me is a genius who loves to do work, but that past me guy... he can be a real asshole sometimes.
*Sigh* Another weekend gone in a flash. I want the holidays to get here already
Back to the week again. At least it's not normal for me. Unfortunately, 2 really tough finals hours apart and an easier one thursday, then I have to be able to leave straight after it. It's going to be a busier week than I'd hoped. But after that, I get to laugh at all of you because I have such a lucrative holiday break.
Good Morning Kittens! Here's hoping for a good week for all of us! Sorry to hear about your leg GM! Geist had it right, my appointment is on Wednesday. I haven't been able to sleep very well the last couple of days. Normally I'm able to be calm in the face of bad news, but this is streching my limits for sure. I'm so very glad for all of you!
I'm sure you will be fine BaKhan. You are made KC tough!
Good morning Geist, BaKhan.
I knew GM hurt his leg last week. Was it broken?
@PoT, that's good. That stuff will be better than the fiberglass batts.
@Trinkets, If I read it correctly, it was just twisted / sprained, not broken. Still would hurt like a bastard though...
Morning kittens!
@BaKhan: Ah, I guess I had my dates messed up. And Geist has the right of it, you are KC tough!
@Trinkets: Not broken, just a bad strain from having twisted my knee three times in 6 steps(literally, took a step with my left foot, nothing happened, step with right, twist my knee causing some pain, repeat two more times....walk it off - no pain by the time I got home - and go to bed feeling fine, wake up at 4am gasping in pain, and clutching my right calf, couldn't even stand up to open my door, took me 5min just to do that...normally I can stretch from the corner of my bed and reach the door handle, took 15min to hobble to the bathroom - 30sec or less walk normally - then another 15 to get back to my bed).
Morning GM & Trinkets!
Good that nothing is broken, but sprains and other muscle/ligament issues can be as bad, sometimes worse.
Yeah, I couldn't even take a shower until yesterday since I couldn't balance on my right leg for longer than a split second. There was no way I was stepping into a bathtub with that, and not falling down.
@GM: You couldn't hire a sexy CNA to visit and give you a sponge bath?
@Geist: Probably could have...but the only hard part would be the sexy...not all of them are, and I don't think I would get to pick and choose which one I wanted....though, that doctor I saw on Friday...she could have given me a sponge bath anytime.
@GM, nothing wrong with sexy doctors! ;) I mean, I married one... ;)
@BaKhan: Definitely nothing wrong with sexy doctors...unless they are already taken, then I have a problem...because I have no chance.
