Those late night dorito chips with a hamburger on the bag tastes like a big mac.

Thinking about tomorrow's 8-8 shift and the 6 mile dreadmill run I'm going to get in after I get back to Cedar Rapids. Also thinking about how I've read 24 novels this year, pretty sure that's a feat I've never accomplished before.

So...I did try one. The extra slice of cheese makes it gooey but didn't really add any flavor in my opinion. The big question would be the new sauce. It tastes like big Mac sauce with added Dijon mustard. That's it.

Thank you for your sacrifice and mini-review. A Dijon mustard kick..interesting.

For some reason my tummy hurt so much last night I had to get up and visit the toilet. Seem to be experiencing spontaneous constipation, fun for the first shift at the new job.

Wishing I had more room in my downstairs area for a pool table. I could put one in the garage... hmmmm

Just getting my last top off of gas before I hit higher altitude. Wanted to bring a gallon of water with me but I never got it. There’s a Walmart nearby but I don’t feel like going and Arco ampm was too expensive. I had one of their Frosiatos which is like a Frappuccino. They have mediums for $2. Freaking delicious. Not all the goodies that frappuccinos have like whip cream and caramel or chocolate drizzle but it was damn tasty.

I'd probably miss our pool table more if I regularly played but I'm terrible so I almost never partake. Thinking about tomorrow's 9-6 shift, hope it goes well!

So my brother and his gf decided to have a child last year and it was born earlier this year. Since he was born my brother and his gf are pissed at me for not visiting and I'm getting really sick of being expected to "play Uncle" I had a vasectomy on the 26th because I don't like kids so why would I want to visit a baby? It would be one thing if he was just happy having the kid that would be good but expecting me to do things I don't want to do because they chose to have a kid? Yeah hell no I had no say in the matter but I do have a say in what I do ie nothing. I'm just tired of being expected to do what others want.

No one should ever expect or pressure someone to play Uncle or Aunt when it comes to the birth of a baby. They need to respect your boundaries which they clearly aren’t. That being said, you’ll have to face the music at some point any way, so it’s probably best to just do it sooner rather than later.

It’s not just you…it’s been going on forever.

Do you and your brother have a good relationship? If yes, I don't understand your attitude even if you dislike kids. It's not like you're being asked to change diapers and take your nephew home. If no, I don't understand why they want you to come over either.

Have you said these things to your brother?? If not, you need to.

Bring a Big Mac to your brother and a Mini Mac to his baby.

It never gets old.

Hopefully you figure out your pool table situation soon.

You need to get the iPad Pro w/cellular.

[Batman1980]

I looked into it, 90% sure NFL fantasy only lets you stream games from a phone. They probably do that to try to entice you into watching it on TV.
