Griddles Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The A.V. Club's decision to move to Kinja (whatever that means) has destroyed the site. Now it is difficult to navigate and the comments section is ruined. Cant they just leave well enough alone?Noticed this too. Site is basically unusable now. going to have to find a new place for pop-culture news Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I know the thread is titled today but I have to speak about yesterday. A big day for me... 1) My oldest started Kindergarden!!!2) Attended an interview session at the aol building with Stereophonics and band I have enjoyed and liked for 15 years. Met Kelly and Richard Jones got pictures with them and participated in the Q and A3) Saw Filthy Friends of which Peter Buck's is a member..After the show I spotted Michael Stipe in the crowd. I finally "met" him and spoke to him for about a minute which was beyond a thrill for me as R.E.M. has been my number 1 favorite since I was 9!! On top of that spoke with Peter Buck for a few minutes which is also always a thrill. This date gets a gold star on the calendar of your life! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A parent's job includes occasionally annoying, confusing, or embarrassing our young. And hopefully amusing them sometimes, too. Good job! I always remember the great story humor writer Dave Barry told of getting to borrow the weinermobile...the vehicle shaped like an Oscar Meyer hot dog....and using it to pick up his teen son from high school one day, calling son's name over the thing's p.a. (His boy leaped in, slammed the door and slumped down, and tersely commanded, "DRIVE. DRIVE!") Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Me and my son stacked a load of wood last Saturday. I still have to split a heap of maple n pine but time for that seems scarce lately.Since we are talking wood, I found out during our recent trip to CO that I don't care to burn Lodgepole pine. That is a greasy burning wood, nasty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 A friend of mine posted this on FB and I think it's my new life goal: Vonnegut: When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud, "If this isn't nice, what is?" Stay in the moment. Enjoy life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
