    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'll give the waterfall thing a shot but not sure how well it'll work in the PNW in February. I think I'll be crossing that line between "romantic" and "psycho" like I've been accused of doing so often in the past...

    The Beer Thread

    FWIW the human palate can really only taste up to 60 IBUs anyways. Any time you think a beer is more bitter than that what is really happening is that the hop aromas and flavors trick you into thinking there is more bittering compounds in the beer than there really are (or tricking you into...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My wife doesn't like period sex so that is usually off the table but if I ask for something else she is usually willing to accommodate. A couple of times she's been desperate for the cock but is still all self conscious about it. Her solution is usually to tie me to the bed and blindfold me...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Agreed, but later on when she realizes the faults in her ways and offers recompense with a blowjob I don't think she should be labeled as a "bang maid." That is genuine wife material right there. When I fuck up and offer sexual favors to make amends am I a bang-handy-man? Or bang-tech-support...

    Health Problems

    Update on my situation. Went and saw my GP and he recommended an ortho consult. Ortho (of course) wants to operate, but after the consult plus talking casually to another ortho I know personally I've decided to opt for surgery. So I'm going under the knife next Friday. There are basically 3...

    The Beer Thread

    For the hop-heads out there, Melvin Brewing is doing a 9 state release/event for their double (triple?) IPA 2x4. I would put it in the "World Class" category for IPAs and usually will go out of my way to get some if I learn that it is going on tap somewhere near me. If you are near a...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    We started with me handling all the macro-stuff (mortgages, loans, savings, investment, retirement, etc.) and my wife was suppose to handle the monthly stuff (utilities, cable, etc.) but she had a bad habit of just filing the bills and forgetting to pay them. So I took that shit over and got...

    especially since beer is like twice as much up there even after factoring in the exchange rate (I'm assuming other household staples as well)

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, if I were to loan a girlfriend/friend/family member money I'd do it under the expectation that I'd never get it back. Of course I would prefer to get it back but I wouldn't loan more money out than I could afford and be okay with never seeing again. ~17% of my yearly salary would be tough...

    Skiing, east coast

    I'm not sure if I'd call myself "good" at falling but it is one thing I've never been afraid of. As a matter of fact one of my personal rules has always been if I don't crash at least once I'm not trying hard enough. I think how that has helped me escape injury to this point is generally when I...

    I'm not going to begrudge you for getting a great day in, but it does not make me feel better. Sun Peaks got about 6" of fresh the day after I hurt myself, I was jelly. I was doubly pissed cause I just planned on taking it easy and cruising groomers the day I hurt myself because I wanted to...

    Just above the Headwalls in Sun Peaks. One of those really dumb things where I was just cruising and looking ahead to find a little kicker or drop to entertain myself rather than focusing on what I was skiing. Snow was grabby which caused me to catch an edge and lose a ski. I was moving at a...

    Yeah, skills comps with an award ceremony where they announce/hand out DROTY/OROTY/MVP/etc. would be a better option imo. I'd watch the shit out of a trick pass and trick kick comp. If you insist on still having a game maybe a futures game.

    Bellevue, WA for work

    Black Raven Brewery and Fremont Brewing are two of my favorites in the Seattle area for breweries. Bellevue Brewing is also tasty and may not require any driving. I haven't really done much dining in Bellevue itself but I have a buddy who lived there, I'll hit him up for some recommendations...

    The Beer Thread

    Yeah can't explain hipsters man. I love Pliny and felt it was one of the few "world renowned" beers I've tried that stood up to it's reputation. But I would not wait in line to buy it, not when there are so many world class IPAs readily available and not when you can buy a case of PTE at the...

    Context. Remember you are drinking one of the world's first Double IPAs and one of the beers that basically inspired every other West Coast IPA out there. Brewing Pliny is nothing special, I can do it in my backyard, but that beer was a game changer.

    Going back to the steak seasoning convo for a sec, I'm usually a salt-&-pepper or montreal seasoning guy, but recently I started throwing a fresh sprig of rosemary (just one) into my vacuum pack before I start my sous-vide bath and it has been a nice little additional touch. If you don't...

    Well I'm not sure how strong it heals back up on its own. Maybe it will be just as strong as as it would be with surgery and only downfall is the fact it might be misshapen, I don't really know. I'm just worried the ortho will push for surgery because that is what they do so they think it is...

    Since everyone I know suddenly has a degree in orthopedics thought I might as well drop in here for more opinions. Broke my left clavicle (collarbone) skiing in Canada.

    My 17 month old loves The Wiggles. It's almost making me want to kill myself but when she points to the TV and starts busting out dance moves in an effort to get me to turn on The Wiggles for her I no longer need to suicide because she kills me with her cuteness. She really does love to dance...

    Yeah, there are disposable liners that you buy for the cloth diapers, looks like a dryer sheet. The liner contains all the poop, you throw that in the diaper pale and the poop-free cloth diaper goes in the wash. No solid waste or any fecal matter in your washing machine. Breast milk poops are...

    Keep in mind cloth diapered babies, on average, potty train faster than those in disposables. Not only does that cut expenses but also means less overall diaper changes, which is really the big selling point to me. Also I think those energy usage figures are based on using a diaper services...

    Plans look really nice, I think I agree with Cad on knocking down that wall in the utility room though. If it were my place I'd be worried about cupboard space in the kitchen. Pantry helps but it still looks like you going to be lacking in kitchen storage. Maybe it's just my wife's unhealthy...

    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    I'm worried by the fact that I could watch a Philly game and from my couch call out the play that Philly was about to run. Like any offensive gimmick it doesn't take NFL defenses long to figure it out and unless Kaep's running ability opens up an entire chapter of Chip's playbook that hasn't...

    Most of the time I would say it wouldn't but a brewery is going to have unique structural requirements as well as zoning issues to navigate. Additionally you'll need a lease that is contingent on licensing (both federal and local liquor) which will go beyond your typical lease negotiation. If...

    I don't the Rams game is indicative of the possibility that Seattle will overlook Minnesota. Jeff Fischer has had Seattle's number for a while now. Fischer is like the troll of the NFC West. Seattle's weakness is their O-Line, which the Rams showed was still true despite their run of success...
