Where in the World is Bob Saget?

Part of my job was to inspect sea containers in and out of the US. It is amazing what we at time found in these boxes!

ohh.. do tell us.. spill the beans!

Just tell them they are mumps, chicken-pox and tetanus.

Only? D:

Round two!

Wonder how many rounds this will be? They are popp'n out of nowhere.

Speaking of rains.. The tail of Tropical storm Elida is hitting us right now. rained VERY VERY HARD for 3 hours.. then a huge influx of thunder.. now its a bit calmer.. weeew! D:

"Get the bigger choppa!"

Yes. I have zero relationship with either grandfather, though. My maternal grandparents did not like my mother's choices, including marrying my father, so they were completely estranged until my great grandmother died in 2009, and then they were mostly estranged, but then my grandmother died three years later, so my mom now has a relationship with her dad again (my grandmother was mostly the cause) and he has a relationship with my brother since he is the only grandson. I have zero relationship with him, other than seeing him at family get-togethers at my aunt's.

My paternal grandfather has no relationship with any of his grandchildren. We barely have conversations at family get-togethers; he usually talks to his sons and I talk to my dad's half brother (who I do have a relationship with) and his wife. My grandfather has not seen his other grandchildren in over a decade and has not met his great granddaughters. I think it's partially my step grandmother. Apparently, she didn't like it that my dad, who was my age when they got married, lived there so he could go to school (his mom lived up in PA, and her husband at the time was way worse). After he graduated law school, my grandfather made him move out, but paid rent until my dad could find a job. Also, my grandfather has the beginning stages of dementia, and although he may have forgotten that I graduated, she certainly didn't.

Catch 22, though. My parents met because my grandfather and step grandmother had a son, and my mom was their babysitter. So on one hand, I owe her my existence. On the other hand, she tried to make my father's life miserable, caused friction when my parents were dating, and has since kept her grandchildren away, though keeping the grandchildren away was partly my grandfather. So...screwed up situation. I've also been warned not to trust her.

Also, the last time I spoke to her was a few weeks ago when I mistakenly got a call from her aunt, who was absolutely hysterical, that her uncle had died, and her aunt asked me to call her because for whatever reason, she couldn't. Yup, so 100% awkward.

Yep, your extended family reads like a Harlequin Romance novel. In a nutshell I am cordial with most of my DH family, long long over trying to be in their good graces and some I rotate in a room around them, good thing I have great peripheral vision. One brother is OK, my FIL gone, liked him rest just a bunch of crazy's.

But if she falls from that height, she could twist an ankle!

Its ok She survives after her 80's!

I love these silly images.. have another!

dewtodoot..doot doot....

No time to set up a correct coal flame to do the corn?

NAP

Thats cheating! you have to accompany the magic word with something else.

 

[Cesar R M]

Not cute.

Cute.

how about now?


or this?

What's an X-Bone?

I think every gamer actually uses that derogatory word about Microsoft's x-box one.. since its been a trainwreck since they released it.
From enforced policies that were ridiculous.. to the forced Kinetic (that was faulty and spied on you, to the fact it ate 10-20% of the processor power) to the big price difference compared to the PS4.

I seem to have taught my cat the word "cuddle". It's a very nice word to teach a furry, fuzzy, soft animal.

X-Box One, the newest system released in November; for which I stood in the pouring rain to purchase one of only 16 available consoles.

I got a new case for my phone. I'm not used to it yet. The touch is less sensitive near the edges and it's messing with my typing. I got it because it's fully waterproof and it's summer and I'm going to be near a lot of water. Plus it retails for $70 but was $25 on groupon. Jury is still out.

Careful with these sealed cases.
Some of them can cause overheating in some phones.

Eventually you have to forget about pleasing your family and just start doing what's right. Friends are better, though. Case in point: the majority of my graduation gifts came from those who were not related to me: family friends, Bestie's relatives, people in our religious group, etc.

Only? D:

Well lets see, a corpse in a shipping crate. Living Cats in a shipment of cheese. I had one assignment to shots being fired to a multi-consignee container, wound up being plastic bounce kick balls exploding. A container filled with water at sea, rubber duckies inside floated out when the doors opened. Snakes. Rats. A car that was to be household goods. Frozen Fish that were not frozen anymore. I'll have to think it has been a while.

Boy I miss that job.

What other kind of Ketchup is there?

the one that doesnt use high fructose corn syrup? D:

This one shows the color a bit more, but still doesn't capture it too well.

Is that dark right now? or the camera is distorting the colors that bad?

Corpse part sounds like it could be the beginning of an NCIS episode. Live cats? Poor kitties.

Yep. My children if I had met an untimely end...were willed to my oldest BFF and her DH (who I dated at one time.) They could have gone to my Mom, but it is hard for little kids to be raised by the elderly and at times my Dad can be Whacadoodles.

 

[Cesar R M]

Is that nuclear fallout?

you just gave up the new story for SHARKNADO III.

NUCLEAR SHARKS IN A TORNADO!

I still laughed at the whole Betty White/hot dog thing. And the Hoff....and the Shatner...

My favorite will always be Push's boat masterpiece!

Happy Canada Day.

 

[Cesar R M]

And there was another one. The radar doesn't match the booms!

Maybe there is a delay in the radar display?
Or you somehow own a giant doppler radar antenna in your home?

Me too. I only like fresh tomatoes as part of a sandwich. Other than that, I like them in sauces. Or ketchup, which according to my 1/4 Italian Bestie, is not real tomato.

Meh, fresh tomatoes are very good with shredded tuna (canned), with avocado, green mexican lemon, sliced onion, peas, carrot and tiny slices of boiled potatoes.

P.S.
Rob Ford is back in his office, after almost two months in a Muskoka rehab centre.

I am skeptical, but hopeful.

Yup, my brother and I were not willed to family either. Before it was friends. Now that I'm an adult, I would get full custody of my brother. After me is Bestie's mom. My aunt was supposed to be next, but now she's got her granddaughters, plus my parents want him to stay in MD.

yikes
sounds like a surprise every day when inspecting containers!
I bet you felt like "let's see what we will find today!" accompanied with that feeling like it was your surprise birthday!
