Nah - As long as I bring her a pale ale or IPA from my brewery of choice, I'm good to go! She did put the nix on my mini fridge o beer that I kept through college in our 1 bedroom apartment. Now its my dad's mini fridge o beer much to my mom's dismay.

That was probably just Murph walking home after purchasing yet another BPP.
He's a big fan of malt liqour, fingerless gloves, and burn barrel cooked Pork 'n Beans!
Could be, did I look disoriented?
He's a real married man now, he's got a separate beer fridge!

Day 4 of self employment. More busy than when I was juggling 3 jobs. Gonna be a while before shit calms down. Lol, just looking forward to the point to where I can mellow down and concentrate on making a living more than worrying about catching up. I guess it sounds stupid to most of you. And I hope this is a problem that continues cause it just means that my self employment will be successful. But just starting off. Its scary and overwhelming.
As far as finding work. Its about 1/3 productive. Meaning. 1/3 is paying work, the rest is non profit necessary bullshit that has to be done to get my ducks in a row. Insurance, rolling 401K, fixing broke crap, coaching ball, ordering new equipment and managing a limited budget, all with no guarantees..........startin to think I was one dumb S.O.B. only got everything I ever worked for riding on this. Guess were gonna see what im capable of. Thanks for all you Beckerheads for your support. I figure its gonna take some time to get comfortable with the transition.

Mmm... I think the LASR software looks great to go along with my laser cartridge that I picked up to practice dry-fire. About as much as the Laserlyte target too, although I would need to buy a webcam. I can pick up one for not too much. Think I'll bite the bullet as soon as I get my next paycheck...

1. Thirty white horses on a red hill: first they champ, then they stamp, then they stand still.
2. There is a house. One enters it blind and comes out seeing. What is it?
3. Four hang, four sprang, two point the way, two to ward off dogs, one dangles after, always rather dirty. What am I?
4. What we caught, we threw away; what we didnt catch, we kept. What did we keep?
5. You have died and are in limbo. There are two doors. One door leads to heaven and the other door leads to hell. There are two guardians, one by each door. One guardian always tells the truth and the other guardian always lies. What one question can you ask a guardian to find out which door leads to heaven?
And last but not least
The riddle is as follows: There are five houses, with five occupants, each with a different color house, different beverage of choice, different favorite brand of cigarette, and a unique pet. The goal is to figure out who owns the fish. Here is all the info you get:
1) The Englishman lives in the red house.
2) The Swede keeps dogs.
3) The Dane drinks tea.
4) The green house is just to the left of the white one.
5) The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6) The Pall Mall smoker keeps birds.
7) The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
8) The man in the center house drinks milk.
9) The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10) The Blend smoker has a neighbor who keeps cats.
11) The man who smokes Blue Masters drinks bier.
12) The man who keeps horses lives next to the Dunhill smoker.
13) The German smokes Prince.
14) The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15) The Blend smoker has a neighbor who drinks water.

Answers below in white. Don't look if you don't want it to be spoiled.
1. Teeth (J.R.R. Tolkien).
2. A school. Norse?
3. A cow. Came from some ancient culture. Don't remember which. Think it started with an S.
4. Lice. I remember this one having something to do with Homer?
5. This one appeared in the movie "Labyrinth" with David Bowie and the lovely Jennifer Connelly. "If I ask the other guardian, what will he tell me?" Or something like that.
6. Think this one is Einstein. The German has it.
Got to the 65536 tile twice in 2048, and have since heard that its theoretically possible, if you get a 4 tile on the last draw, to get the next one. But that's like a 1 in 16 chance, and I'm not spending that time to get there again.

Your a smart fella!!! That was quick.
All of these and more came from this page... http://listverse.com/2013/10/27/top-10-intriguing-riddles-from-history/
On 2048, I got to 1024 once... I since gave up... I tried for a couple hours straight one day until i got mad at it.
I bet you have a seriously high IQ.
My IQ is my age. It gets a little better each year... Not enough to hurt me, just enough to get me by
Decided I'm gonna get my own apartment rather than move in with the guy I visited the other day, if the apartment I want is still available. Gonna put in my application and some money to hold the place. It's been at least a week since I looked at it. If not then I'll move in with the dude. Seems like a cool guy. Once I get semi-settled I'll start looking for a roomie.
And my Ruger GP100 is done being repaired and should be home in a day or two. I was a little worried since I'm moving soon and it hadn't come back yet so I called them to check on it. It was blowing particles in my face and I think it was out of time. They didn't mention anything about payment when I called so hopefully they treated it as a defect even thought the gun is 25 years old. I really like that gun, especially the old smooth rubber grips with the wood inlays. They look and feel great.

I dont use either... Or cell phones for that matter... I use skype for a phone and a desktop for my tablet....
BUT.. Both my kids have Kindle Fire HDs and my wife has an ipad, ipad mini, and a Nexus 7.... She prefers the nexus 7 to all of them... Im not sure all the reasons though as i dont use them, but i know she wore the battery out the nexus, and is thinking of selling her regular ipad to a friend at work and getting a new Nexus 7 instead of just replacing the battery.... Or she already sold the Ipad.. Im not sure i know just Monday she was talking about selling it though and keeping the Mini... And i asked if she liked the mini better.. she likes it better than the regular Ipad but still prefers the nexus 7 to them all.
Im not much help...... I hate trying to type on small touch screens.. I type a lot and they just suck as far as im concerned for typing... Although i do like the newer swype feature on some of them.. a lot easier for me... Still prefer a full keyboard though.

Apple is the devil. Don't know much about tablets but I really like the Droid OS for my phone.
