November 9, 201113 yr Hey, nothing wrong with a dab of bourbon on the gums to help teething (at least that's what my mother believed). I thought "teething rings" is what helped?! However, doesn't look like a "dab" is being used. Look at the level of that bottle! LOL
November 9, 201113 yr into my 4th day with a new car and all's good so far. I was sad to see my old car go. It was good to me over 9 years and we took it camping for our honeymoon. Still, it was time. i just hope the dealership gets double what they paid me in trade-in.
November 9, 201113 yr Heh, since there's a bottle of ginger ale I'd give the benefit of the doubt to a cocktail for mom(?) because I just don't want to imagine the end result of baby formula, ginger ale, and bourbon.
November 9, 201113 yr I'm heading to Columbus this weekend for the 2nd annual Ohio Beard and Moustache Championships being held at COSI. I had a blast last year at the event in Dayton. These guys really know how to put on a good time. All proceeds from the event benefit the fight against prostate cancer.
November 10, 201113 yr This is what I saw first thing this morning in my kitchen. This NOT what was there when i went to bed last night. Nothing wrong with a wee nip, and a wee nap For the record, I did the scotch on the gums with my second and third (I was horrified when my mother suggested it when my first born started teething). But with 2 and 3, it was the only thing that worked. Teething rings are for suckers. I guess that's true both literally and figuratively.
November 10, 201113 yr One bottle for the baby, one bottle for the parent. I see nothing wrong with that....
November 10, 201113 yr One bottle for the baby, one bottle for the parent. I see nothing wrong with that.... Of course, you wouldn't! This is what I saw first thing this morning in my kitchen.

I'm sure we used brandy or some sort of brown liquor on my nieces/nephews.
November 11, 201113 yr How does the coffee and glass cleaner fit into all of this? Irish Coffee, gets you a little tipsy without putting you to sleep. As a bonus, if you have enough of it, it gives you the energy to clean the windows, and the ability to see spots on them that aren't there.

November 11, 201113 yr How does the coffee and glass cleaner fit into all of this? Hey, some low-income folks drink hair spray because it's cheap and has high alcohol content. Not sure what's in glass cleaner that comes anywhere close to warrant consumption though. Coffee? Yep, I'm there.

I was also busy all week / waking up a little late, so not really do any shaving. Someone asked if I was participating. I said, no I'm just lazy.

November 15, 201113 yr The competition was awesome. It was really well put together at COSI. I also discovered one of my favorite bars of all time in the Ringside Cafe on Pearl. It was great.we beardos sort of took it over Friday night but it was a great little place with decent food. The only other thing is that the old old post office is a really cool building...oh, and parking sucks over near the Capitol where we stayed.
November 16, 201113 yr Did I just hear someone complain about PARKING on urbanohio?? Sounds like it! :-( Sadly, something Columbus apparently has in common with Indianapolis is marginally-functional public transportation. There aren't many options for getting there other than fly/drive, and on my visit a few years ago I didn't find much in the way of affordable accomodations except near the airport, miles from downtown. There are some great city walkable areas for sightseeing but they're rather spread out and I didn't see visitor-friendly public transportation between them or very much parking near them. That may be just on weekends, but still, when do recreational visitors come to town?

The old City Center Mall parking garage is really handy as well, though it's a couple blocks from there.
November 16, 201113 yr Yeah, I was going to say, the garage under the statehouse is the largest garage downtown. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 17, 201113 yr Happy Birthday! You are now one-third my age! I thought about offering some sage advice, until I contemplated where all my wisdom has gotten me :roll:
November 18, 201113 yr Thank you Rob. And please do! Any advice from you is definitely worth a listen.
November 18, 201113 yr Yeah, I was going to say, the garage under the statehouse is the largest garage downtown. That's where I parked, I just think paying $50 to park for the weekend is a little absurd when the garage is empty. We walked the area and cabbed to the short north.
November 18, 201113 yr ??? $50 ??? Shit, you could've parked in that COTA garage behind Columbus Commons overnight for cheap! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 20, 201113 yr From House of Figs blog: http://bethanyamandamiller.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/the-56-bestworst-analogies-written-by-high-school-students/ The 56 best/worst analogies written by high school students February 22nd, 2011 Borrowed from this blog. These are all 100% real. [*]Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center. [*]He was as tall as a 6′3″ tree. [*]Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master. [*]From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30. [*]John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met. [*]She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up. [*]The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant. [*]He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something. [*]Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever. [*]She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. [*]The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM. [*]The lamp just sat there, like an inanimate object. [*]McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup. [*]His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free. [*]He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at asolar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. [*]Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. [*]Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do. [*]The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t. [*]Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze. [*]The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease. [*]They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth. [*]He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River. [*]Even in his last years, Grand pappy had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it hadrusted shut. [*]He felt like he was being hunted down like a dog, in a place that hunts dogs, I suppose. [*]She was as easy as the TV Guide crossword. [*]She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs. [*]The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work. [*]The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while. [*]“Oh, Jason, take me!” she panted, her breasts heaving like a college freshman on $1-a-beer night. [*]It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall. [*]It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools. [*]He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up. [*]The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can. [*]Her eyes were like limpid pools, only they had forgotten to put in any pH cleanser. [*]Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like “Second Tall Man.” [*]The thunder was ominous-sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play. [*]The red brick wall was the color of a brick-red Crayola crayon. [*]She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again. [*]Her pants fit her like a glove, well, maybe more like a mitten, actually. [*]Fishing is like waiting for something that does not happen very often. [*]They were as good friends as the people on “Friends.” [*]Oooo, he smells bad, she thought, as bad as Calvin Klein’s Obsession would smell if it were called Enema and was made from spoiled Spamburgers instead of natural floral fragrances. [*]The knife was as sharp as the tone used by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) in her first several points of parliamentary procedure made to Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) in the House Judiciary Committee hearings on the impeachment of President William Jefferson Clinton. [*]He was as bald as one of the Three Stooges, either Curly or Larry, you know, the one who goes woo woo woo. [*]The sardines were packed as tight as the coach section of a 747. [*]Her eyes were shining like two marbles that someone dropped in mucus and then held up to catch the light. [*]The baseball player stepped out of the box and spit like a fountain statue of a Greek god that scratches itself a lot and spits brown, rusty tobacco water and refuses to sign autographs for all the little Greek kids unless they pay him lots of drachmas. [*]I felt a nameless dread. Well, there probably is a long German name for it, like Geschpooklichkeit or something, but I don’t speak German. Anyway, it’s a dread that nobody knows the name for, like those little square plastic gizmos that close your bread bags. I don’t know the name for those either. [*]She was as unhappy as when someone puts your cake out in the rain, and all the sweet green icing flows down and then you lose the recipe, and on top of that you can’t sing worth a damn. [*]Her artistic sense was exquisitely refined, like someone who can tell butter from I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. [*]It came down the stairs looking very much like something no one had ever seen before. [*]Bob was as perplexed as a hacker who means to access T:flw.quid55328.com\aaakk/ch@ung but gets T:\flw.quidaaakk/ch@ung by mistake. [*]You know how in “Rocky” he prepares for the fight by punching sides of raw beef? Well, yesterday it was as cold as that meat locker he was in. [*]The dandelion swayed in the gentle breeze like an oscillating electric fan set on medium. [*]Her lips were red and full, like tubes of blood drawn by an inattentive phlebotomist. [*]The sunset displayed rich, spectacular hues like a .jpeg file at 10 percent cyan, 10 percent magenta, 60 percent yellow and 10 percent black.

November 20, 201113 yr ^^ thanks. I'm at a kids b-day party giggling like a crazy person. Only a matter of time now until asks me to leave
November 21, 201113 yr Not that anyone cares, but I finally got my car back Friday. :clap:I'm ecstatic after thinking my engine was history. Turns out the problem was a bad alternator along with some faulty electrical wiring. And the smoke was from the new drive belt slipping off the alternator and getting caught in between two pulleys. They also did some courtesy work for all the inconvenience they caused. Now my Subaru is running like new again. It was nice driving the shiny new 11 WRX, but I was ready to get my "broken-in" and dinged up WRX back in my possession.

Glad to hear it; that should restore some faith in the dealer's service department's intergrity. I remember a time when some bad apples gave dealers' service departments a reputation for screwing over customers pretty badly, but I think tightened scrutiny and media like the internet that let dissatisfied customers spread the word have caused most of the bad ones to shape up or shut down. There are a few locally, one Ford dealer in particular, that experience has taught me to steer clear of, but for the most part dealers' shop and sales staffs are reasonably honest now.

They would have to have been pretty ham-fisted to mess up a routine repair badly enough to blow up a Subaru boxer engine. Those little guys are tough. Having alternator or A/C compressor bearings go away and lock up can freak people out since they make the engine work really hard and cause all that belt smoke and stink.
November 23, 201113 yr That's my kin y'all. (Boone not the author) Run Johnny run! Publication Date: April 20, 2012 In the summer of 1987, Johnny Boone set out to grow and harvest one of the greatest outdoor marijuana crops in modern times. By doing so, he set into motion a series of events that defined him and his associates as the largest homegrown marijuana syndicate in American history, also known as “The Cornbread Mafia.” Author James Higdon—whose relationship with Johnny Boone, currently a federal fugitive, made him the first journalist subpoenaed under the Obama administration—takes readers back to the 1970s and ’80s and the clash between federal and local law enforcement and a band of Kentucky farmers with moonshine and pride in their bloodlines. By 1989, the task force assigned to take down men like Johnny Boone arrested 69 men and one woman from busts on 29 farms in 10 states, and seizing 182 tons of pot. Of the 70 individuals arrested, zero talked. The who, what, when, where, why and how of it all—a tale of Mafia-style storylines emanating from the Bluegrass state, and populated by Vietnam veteran and weed-loving characters caught up in Tarantino-level violence and heart-breaking altruism—is accompanied by a soundtrack of Southern rock-and-roll and rhythm-and-blues. And it is told by James Higdon in action-packed, colorful, and riveting detail. http://www.amazon.com/Cornbread-Mafia-Homegrown-Syndicates-Marijuana/dp/0762778237/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321901900&sr=1-1

November 29, 201113 yr Well, it finally looks like the good people at crainscleveland figured out how so many people were accessing their subscriber stories without paying. I personally blame everyone on this site who spelled out in a (google searchable post) how to do it. ;)
November 29, 201113 yr I just heard a dreaded sound -- the grinding of a snowplow blade on pavement. After two days of hard rain that have brought the river within less than a foot of going onto the lowest part of my street, it's been snowing hard for the last couple of hours. The temperature is now about 34F with a forecast of up to three inches of snow overnight. We're under a winter storm warning until 1 a.m.
December 2, 201113 yr I keep hearing of snow all around us, but it's actually been 40's and sunny, while northern indiana has been getting some lousy weather.

December 9, 201113 yr Ahahaha, I just wound up in a Wal-Mart yesterday to buy CFLs because they're still heavily subsidized there (6 for $8 rather than $18 other places). Seemed like everyone was made out of sweatpant material.
