Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Fuck.  Gotta a pissed wife.  She obviously wants to go to the Stearns County Fair really bad.  Her whole family is there.  I absolutely HATE shit like fairs.  Full of fucking morons that I really have no desire to talk to and people performing stupid shit that no one should ever bother to watch.  Needless to say, she said she'd be okay with 2 hours so I laid out the day to where we could be there for 2 hours and she flipped.  2 meant 4.  Now she is "ok" without going as she doesn't want to deal with me there.

 

SUcks.  I haven't been home for a SINGLE Saturday this summer.  Guess that trend continues.  Made worse since the next 2 I am gone for as well.  BOOO

Gotta ask what kind of stupid shit do they put on there?

J

No different than going to any big festival or attraction that gathers a lot of people.  Akin to Disneyworld, State Fair, Amusement Park, Casino, blah, blah, blah.

 

I'd personally rather go get a toe tipper done by the Doc than go to any of those places.

So it's just hating crowds, lines, and high prices for meh at best food?

Now that I can understand. Hating rides, laughing at human stupidity, and seeing kids smile is always a good thing. Even if you want to trip half the little rat bastards anyways.

In my experience oatmeal lotion like aveno helps with skin inflammation Mike. It does sting a bit though.

YMMV.

Showers with mild to cool water can also help.

Especially in the groin, inner arm, armpit and Ass areas.

TMI right?

:)

I will sacrifice a few cats for you.

I have been using some Aveeno to keep a little moisture in my skin.

How does hot showers affect the skin? I know that it makes you feel like you are scratching yourself at an insanely awesome rate for a bit and thus I've been starting out with a cool shower, moving to hot and then back to cold.

Everything is MUCH MUCH better today. Itching has gone down and swellings are starting to go down. I'll actually be able to go to work today.

Sounds good, thanks. I'll probably check out what Costco has too.

Costco here doesn't carry anything cheep. And they are not a good value, especially when you can walk into a competitor and say you saw a Costco bed and they will just beat the price.

Anyone cook by sous vide?

Sort of like asking me if I own a knife.  Although, immersion circulator may be a more appropriate term here :P

I don't hate crowds, actually rather like big cities.  I hate fucking idiots and that is what all those places have in common.  Generally speaking the shitbox of society enjoys that sort of thing.  I have no interest interacting with them.  As for laughing at stupidity, it is more like crying since it is so bad.  No interest in that either.

 

Food isn't expensive, but it isn't food either.

 

Never been on a ride that I find worth a shit either.  They just bore me.

Sorry, but not true, and a fucked up premise to begin with.

They're more than lenient about it though; they're willing to order practically whatever jean/pant you want.

 

 

If someone else bought my jeans, I'd gladly wear Wranglers.  Anything but the fricking Dickies jeans.  Cinch green labels would be my preference though.

Cool shower will literally slow inflammation. But it will dry you out so lotion after.

Aveno is good. I buy this hemp lotion by the gallon as general body moisture. It helps a lot here in MN in the winter when I would be out in the wind.

The neutragena(sp) shower oil is also really really good if your skin is dry.

Anyone cook by sous vide?

Sort of like asking me if I own a knife.  Although, immersion circulator may be a more appropriate term here tongue.png

 

 

Yeah haha. I'm thinking of getting one since I'm no chief and it'll probably easier for me to cook steaks and shit without fucking anything up. At least that's my guess.

No Maillard :(

 

Some things are nice done that way, I prefer a hybrid.  Keep meaning to DIY one as it is really easy in particular since I have a Rocks BBQ controller and it doesn't care if it controls a water heater or a fan.

OMG. Ate lunch at Noodles & Co. How the fuck are there more than one of those stores????

The food isn't even edible, nor does it taste like what the dish is called. Everything on the menu is fucking easy and cheap, not sure where the disconnect is. Makes me want to open a Noodle shop...

I can not agree with you more, over priced, tasteless, and not worth it.
