Day 146 - 12/7/13

Woke up at 0330 to piss and realized that the house was without power; damn kids have relocated every flashlight in the house.

Locate flashlights and candles, proceed to piss. Nuts are freezing, so I go light fire in fireplace. It is 6 degrees outside and colder than a witch's tit inside.

Get fire rolling and the next thing I do is post roll. So unless you can give me a better excuse on why you didn't post roll fuck off. I may not get to all my groups first thing this AM but know boys and girls I am quit with you however "powerless" right now.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Can I inquire as to what frozen region of the world you live in? This sounds like North Dakota. I only know good folks from the upper midwest. Way to keep that stereotype alive and thriving. I live in Buffalo NY.

Way to go Pinched. We all have the power to be quit today if we want it. No weak ass b\s caver talk on this thread ever.
I could quit all by myself if I was stranded on an island without any nicotine...

We are at a toasty 18 degrees. Some 260,000 homes have lost power in our area but we still have it. A nice 72 in the house right now and my balls are at 98.

I am near St. Louis, it is a brisk 16 degrees with now, actually feels great each hour when I walk out and get another armload of firewood. I learned about 30 minutes ago that we lost power not because of ice or snow but because a truck hit a pole avoiding a damned deer. We are awaiting the fix. Shit like that is why I should be able to get homeowner's tags as well as landowner's tags.

I am thankful for the linemen that are working to restore my power.

The even better outcome is that the kids and I are sitting my the fireplace, playing boardgames. Oh and yes I am playing a boardgame without a damn tobacco turd in my lip.

Thanks all for the texts and posts. My resolve is dead on today and we will get power again, until then I am glad we have no power because we made a pizza from scratch in the oven (thank god for gas) and we are building character with games.

Which part of St. Louis do you live in Pinched? We never lost power. I'm fine with the cold, that just means sitting in front of the fire with some fireball whiskey watching some MIZZOU football 'Have a beer'

Hey Bulldog, You can come over herbs and get the lemons and salt. Considering I was born in Florida I know what is means to have a sunshine Christmas. However, I would take a day like today with my kids over and day with my feet in sand.

I lost power because someone hit a telephone pole knocking out the power. Would have seen that if those hooked on phonics tapes worked.

It's sti colder than a witch's titty but I just got power 10 minutes ago. The even better news is that today is day 146 and anger has subsided today so I can write this all with a smile from ear to ear.

I am over in KC and know how cold it is. I just put my beer on the deck rather than the fridge...as you know, it's colder this way!

Would say I hope you get power back soon, but figure you are having a good time with it with the kids. That is awesome.

Proud to quit with you.

Glad your warm pinched!

I am over in KC and know how cold it is. I just put my beer on the deck rather than the fridge...as you know, it's colder this way!

Would say I hope you get power back soon, but figure you are having a good time with it with the kids. That is awesome.

Proud to quit with you.

I'm with you on the storing the beers on the deck. It is rewarding. I feel like captain planet saving the world by harnessing the power of nature's ice box
There should be more Public Service Announcements about this practical step to save energy. Instead, i saw a PSA yesterday with the tag line "Stop Senior Abuse". I dont know how you all feel, but right then and there i made the hard choice to not go to grampas house and smack him around. Effective advertising by the Ad Council there.
Fuck, now im getting pissed here.
Ok you guys do watch or hear the PSA's that the Ad Council produces? Right. They are the commercials that your tax dollars produce, and radio/TV sations are required to give airtime too by the FCC. Take note of the topical matter they choose to crusade for.
"Talk to your kids about drugs"
"Kindness, pass it on"
"Kids need three square meals a day"
"Be a real man and stay in your child's life"
"Stop senior abuse"
"Riding your bike reduces carbon emmisions"
"Shut the water off when you brush your teeth"
"Don't text and drive with a tripple Latte"

Maybe im the asshole here, but not one of these messages have changed my behavior. I never saw the 30 second clip of mom making breakfast for her school age children and said "Holy Shit! Hey Honey! Do you know we have to feed the kids morning, noon and night!?"
Furthur more, and i will stereotype here, how many male members of the African American community watched the PSA about raising your offspring and decided, "Damn its time to look up Shaquel, Brianique, Sandrina, Lucindra, and Ladasha. Im gonna start paying alimony to all these Bitches i made babies with. Just gotta figure out how to spell their names, get an address, send a money order, and maybe even take one to a Lakers game."

These PSA are devoid of any real message. As a society we should be ashamed that we need commercials to tell us how to live. A generation ago people didnt need to be told to feed their kids, not abandon their kids, dont read the newspaper when you drive (texting), and stop beating on grandpa. Why now then?

The folks who need these messages should be shot and culled. Once thats done, we can deal with some real problems.

I want to see an a commercial where a 14 yr old kid has his first dip. I want to then see a time lapse of his teens where he has to beg older dudes to buy it for him. I want a side shot of the prettiest girl in school having a secret crush on our young star only to see him spit brown juice with the boys and then walk away. I want to see his college years go on while he looks for enough money in the couch cushions for a tin. An image of him re-chewing the same wad, stored on the radiator for warmth, would be nice here. On the right hand side of the screen i want a constantly growing stack of tins with a dollar amount ticking away below. As the time lapse continues we can image his wedding day, childs birth, daughters sweet sixteen, and her send off to Yale....all with a stream of brown juice in the background. Finally lets end the film with his oral cancer, rotted face, emaciated corpse, and death. Thats what i want to see in the next PSA. Put it on during the superbowl and i guranfuckingtee lives will be saved.

Fuck you Ad Council. Try being better at your job.
