RANT: i am obese and on a phone

Damn. Having kids is serious business.

Only if you claim them.

[Dominik]

Let me know when you are ready to talk. My PM box is always open.

Are you a family counselor?

He'll probably charge you his usual legal eagle rate.

[Lencho]

Damn. Having kids is serious business.

And even if you get it right a lot of the time, there are things beyond your control that can come along and fuk it all up.

My oldest went more than 10 months before sleeping through the night. Then, my younger kid sleeps through the night at exactly two months. I remember waking up, seeing that more than eight hours had passed, and thinking something terrible had happened.

Those five seconds were awful.

LOL. We still have a monitor in our daughter's room and she's almost 3. When does the paranoia go away?

When she is married? Or does it get worse at that point? No kids... no problem.

New taco place at the edge of our hood has lengua tacos. I had one last time I was there. Al pastor > all.

The jewish deli nearby does beef tongue a much better service. Very tasty. Would be a lot more popular if people didn't know what it was.

Damn! I saw these on the menu, but the wife of the owner recommended the lengua, carnitas, chorizo and barbacoa. I ended up getting a 5th taco that almost looked like ground breakfast sausage, but had no idea what it was.

[theshoupguy]

Wait, a raise?

Cliffs on fiscal cliff?

[adamdavidson47]

Deadlift question for you brahs. I'm doing my own 5x5. I noticed that with most 5x5 programs, deadlift is only 1x5. Advice on what I should do for deadlifts. Options are: a.) keep doing what I'm doing, which is ramp up and do heavy singles, working up to max
b.) warm up a few sets and do one set of my max 5 rep
c.) warm up a few sets and do another amount of sets of 5 of max?

d.) Go f myself.

e) warm up sets and then sets of singles, then learn proper list spacing

I have been doing ort/mag deadlifting ( thanks to manly ) and I have seen a pretty steady improvement over the last month. I definitely was able to break through my plateau and I have been adding 10 lbs to my lift each week.

5 sets of singles at which weight(s)

Word to mother

Word to mother

In doing this I have pretty much put squats on the back burner and am only doing light sets weekly. Do you really see a performance decrease in doing ort/mag deads and squats at the same time ( but different days)?

I did it on the same day. Also did ort bench.

I'm sure whatever she reco'd was prob the best there. Sounds like the 5th was chorizo.

Oh, word?

lulz, i guess i didn't proof that one for double entendres first. They make an excellent beef tongue sandwich on rye.

Hmmmm... All the information I was able to find on the ort/mag style suggested to stop doing squats all together when doing deadlifts and vice versa. I am grateful for the strength gains I have made in my deadlifts, it just feels strange to not do any squats for 3 weeks at a time. Perhaps I should just give it a shot doing them both.

[Farley1324]

Edit: nvm.

Dammit hola, I see you post and forget which thread I am in sometimes.

It's really bad/confusing when vox goes to the MFC thread.

[kvk1]

About 3.50%.

[ThickAsABrick]

Commie question fro you Hola.

I have a Mosin Nagant model 91/30. I fired it one time several years ago right after getting it (and the m44 I since gave to my dad). I did not clean the bore afterwards, and I used typical milsurp (Bulgarian, IIRC) corrosive ammo. There is rust in the bore now.

What kind of accuracy degradation should I expect?

stop worrying about dumb stuff and get some sleep, you gun nut weirdo.

[Farley1324]

Can't sleep right now. They are supposed to come take her for her "do I get to go home now?" bilirubin test at 3, and we still need a shot for mom, discharge teaching, a few other little things.

It takes me longer and longer to wake up and get un-groggy as fuk every time, easier to just stay awake the rest of the afternoon at this point.

And maybe grab a Coke. Only had one so far today


But otherwise good point and sentiment/idea

I think the most annoying thing about the hospital (aside from the awful bed and barely edible food), was the constant interruptions. Seemed like at least one new person was there for something every 30 min.

Good luck with the test.

[Farley1324]

Trivia info of the day, since I know this was brought up in the Rant awhile back with somebody...I did carry my regular 'daily carry' pistol (a Glock 26) for the entirety of the 3-4 days we've been here and I'm fairly certain nobody else knows (except wife). I was more than ready to dump it in the car if it became a distraction for some strange reason, but all uneventful, just like usual

Biggest downside was wearing my pants/belt and never putting on the sweatpants that I brought.

Thanks. She just left for it.

At night they were pretty good at not interrupting excessively. The nurses (and techs) are on 12 hour shifts from 7-7 and everybody seems to communicate/note-take pretty well, so being interrupted when we were 20 minutes into all three of us resting/sleeping (a rarity) only happened, that I recall, when it had to to keep a certain schedule.

During the day, though...forget about it. The housekeeping lady who did trash and linen bags and stuff like that came in while we were all sleeping today and said she'd try to be quiet. If that was quiet I'd hate to see when she isn't trying for that. Good Lord.

Chris Christie is said to be righteously pissed and will be having a press conference around 2PM.

I'd watch it.

Our monitors were gone by age two.

[Farley1324]

I wanted to take it off, unload it, and put it in my bag...but I'm responsible for maintaining positive control over it at all times. The only way to guarantee that here is to have it attached to me.

Good thinking.

Responsible ownership is paramount.

You never know when a renegade infant will jump off the crib, reach into your bag, assemble it, and take you all hostage with it in the NICU.

That should be a movie. Couldn't possibly be any worse than The Hobbit.
