OT - What are you doing right now?

 At children's hospital ER with youngest boy.  Possible broken something.  Fell down stairs watching his tablet.  Walked in with possible broken bone and I am 90 percent sure we are leaving with the flu.  Everyone wearing masks. Kids throwing up.  I am screwed.

Man, that sucks, hope things turn out decent and you don't get sick.

Hoping for the best. Ask them for a pack of flu meds, doctors are recommending them as a premptive strike against the flu.

@dmw Costco in KOP? 
If so, I am headed there tomorrow..... 

Yep.

Man, a day early and (several dollars) more or a day late and a dollar short.   Reciently I can’t win....

Hopefully they still have them at that price tomorrow.

@kl8ton good luck. Just got over the flu and it kicked my butt.

That is a bad deal.  Hope you guys don't all get the flu and hope your youngest doesn't have anything to bad.

Hope the kiddo is OK.  I can relate.  My Mom had a stroke and has been in the hospital for several days.  The hospital is rank with the flu and nuro virus.  Nurses wearing masks and what not....I'm amazed I'm not dead.    Once again I hope the kid is Ok!

Just cooked (heated up?) some seitan on the small.  Interesting.  Went really well with the grilled romaine.  

Killit_and_Grillit

Damn @kl8ton. I was about to **** about my freezer getting left open and having to dump about half the food. 

Thanks for giving some perspective. I hope your kiddo is alright and y’all can keep from catching what I can only assume will be the start to the zombie apocalypse.

Finally found something the teenagers like:

Geez, should have listened to my wife.  She shook her head and said that shits not funny.  I laughed and said, don't worry its for the forum, not FB.  The forum has a sense of humour.

Btw, your video wasn't funny at all.

I made it about 3 min in all the while the wife telling me how stupid the whole thing is.  I succumbed to her criticism and stopped to post this.

I know it's not funny, I said it was "funny".

It was, however, quite informative. I'll see if the good Dr. has done one on anus which might have broader appeal to this crowd.

Tide pod enema just don't seem like a good idea after watching that video.

that is too bad. Broke mine a couple of times. Hurts like he!! For a week or so. Don’t no how they treat today, I to wear some figure 8 type of brace. ‘‘Twas not fun.

kl8ton

Thanks everyone!  He gets a sling and is told try not to move it.  This is his 2nd time.  

Valet parking at ER was awesome. Complimentary!  Looking forward to reasonably priced bill(s) for the next 3 months.  I am glad it wasn't more.  

The way he was reacting,  I thought the arm was broken as well.

Getting ready to binge on Altered Carbon.  3 day weekend timed perfectly.

White House is slow on the uptake but now panicking that this is going to be a dud and an epic backfire.  There is a reason his appointees Wray and Rosenstein are protesting, it's because they know the whole story, which will come out.  So let it rip!

Everyone loves a cliffhanger.  Well, most people.

My Beautiful Wife was in the Royal Court in 1992, she has sheepishly admitted. She keeps trying to tell me it is a wild time, and when I relate it too other times at parties, she just keeps shaking her head, and saying " You just don't get it.
The Queen's court theme has changed to "Steam Punk" whatever that means.

Those were the St. Bernard Parish days.  Man, I have some pictures from those that are adult-view only.  Early 90s.  Pre-SWMBO days.  One dood's costume was just a tuxedo vest.  Got my GF at the time to pose with him at waist-level. 

Getting out of St. Bernard is like being Snake Plissken in Escape from New York.  You run a gauntlet of redneck cops by drunk driving through side streets until you hit the highway and get back in to New Orleans.  This was before Uber and designated drivers don't exist at these events.  Either stay up until your sober, pass out where you won't get scooped up by cops (like in the parking lot in your car) or call a cab.  It was nuts. 

Usually had the Radiators playing as the defacto band,  Music is always good. 

Never got caught or arrested, always a good time.  Much tamer now, but at a biker bar that has kinda a lodge kinda "new" aesthetic.  But good people, average age has crept up as people age, once you're in, you're a lifer.

PS - Steampunk is not so terrible.  I've been working on a steampunk motorcyle. It's just a steam-technology old-world meshed with science fiction genre.  Top hats, goggles, submarines.  etc.

This is going to be epic, for me anyway. My Beautiful Wife also said the Radiators will be playing. Saw some of the images of the steam punk genre, kind of like Dune and Sgt Peppers via Thunderdome, to me. She has ordered stuff for me for that one.
I had asked her if there were any pictures from her time there in the early 90s. She denies there is evidence.
While there, our down day will be Monday, if you have the time.
I suppose you have no plans on going to the MB?
Hope to see you.
