This god damn smoke from the canuck wildfires sure is ruining the drive today

Is this on I-70? Maybe HWY 81 near Minneapolis?

That was close to Fall River SD on 79. Spent 4 days in the Black Hills and now heading to Greeley CO (FML) for a family reunion on my wife's fathers side.

my wife’s blood pressure on the day of delivery was 190/120

She is a runner, 5’7 and 120 lbs.
(Her normal blood pressure is 110/74 or lower)

the extra high blood pressure for about 18 hours caused my wife to develop glaucoma in her eyes and basically aged her eyes up 30 years. She now has to put drops in her eyes every morning and her night vision is now basically nothing.

sucks but at least she didn’t die and my son was healthy


she is back down to a size 2 and running and super fit but man I miss those big ole preggo/breast feeding boobies…. God damn I miss them

Any idea what caused her BP to spike like that?

I only got to enjoy the fat kid feeders once since she couldn't tit feed on the second one due to the circumstances. Did put some nice meat on her ass though

Brutal in the panhandle as well. So bad, we chose to bail on our usual Friday afternoon golf outing for Mrs. Bomber and I.

Pre-eclampsia caused by stress and over working. (covering ER call 5 days a week)

she also has hyperthyroid, which is how she is always so damn skinny…. But with pregnancy it’s a bad combo

Boobs went from 36DD to 34B 😡

I played golf this afternoon and was wayyyyy more tired than normal when I finished.

Congrats on the healthy baby/mama.

That said, Brian hooked up with a gay undergrad Norwegian multiple times after Weds night karaoke at Sandy's circa summer 2001. Frederich, the Norwegian, didn't know he himself was gay until that summer.

A gay undergrad in a college town couldn’t do any better than a nearly 40 year old weird looking sports journalist?

I love mudbugs which is what they call crawfish in Louisiana. There was a place in south central L.A. in the '80s called the New Orleans Seafood market at the corner of Arlington and Vernon. Scary part of town but some things are worth the risk. It was owned by 3 guys from New Orleans and they would get air flown shipments of fresh crawfish 3 times a week. They also made homemade hush puppies, gumbo and sweet potato pie.

I used to take a big old cooler and have them load it up. The way they prepared them was pure artistry. Boiled with a all kinds of spices, peppers and seasonings. They're gone now but it was like a trip to New Orleans.

To be fair, Brian was a 29 year old weird looking sports journalist at the time. And Frederich was a weird 25 year old college junior from Norway.

I just one-finger-waved at Pat yesterday. I hope this was a food truck rather than you driving up to the residential neighborhood on that card across the street from the G-Burg Church of Christ.

i shit you not. he used to message me on facebook and twitter and text me and it was the absolute strangest shit. It started normal then it was a bunch of dick jokes or big jokes idk just fucking weird. i almost posted on here that i wouldnt be surprised if he came out as gay. im not one but shocked. what a fucking piece of shit

It seems he was grooming you…..

Just spent a night at my buddy's house in Minnesota. His oldest is a 10 year old girl and I can tell all of that stuff is already beginning. Constantly trying to manipulate her parents.

My daughter is five and already is manipulative especially towards her younger brothers. She gets them to do her dirty work. I guess it works because they seem to get more spankings.

Home safely from the AK cruise. Wonderful trip. Glorious scenery, perfect weather and mucho dinging. Since our refrigerator is out of food and we're now spoiled silly with other's serving us food & dessert, we're headed out to dinner. 😎

Glad you enjoyed it. The first days back from a cruise are almost like detoxing from being pampered and fed 24/7. I can't imagine an around the world cruise. I'd be incapable of re-entering normal society.

Did things seem pretty normal on board or were there some restrictions? I want to pull the trigger on Alaska but I want it to be as carefree as possible.

Also, any advice on must things to see or do keeping in mind you're dealing with senior citizens but who can walk several miles comfortably.

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

We were aboard the "Majestic Princess" and sailed at 65% capacity. We were the first Princess ship to cruise since "the pause", and for the passengers it was fairly normal. We had to wear masks to enter and exit the ship, but once on board they were optional as all passengers were required to be vaccinated. Everyone freely discussed that we were "guinea pigs" for how future cruises were going to go, and to steal a little cruising vernacular, our experience was "smooth sailing".

The crew were also vaccinated, and they also had to quarantine for two weeks when they were called back to work. The crew were also precluded from debarking the vessel on our port visits. The ship will increase to 75% capacity this week, and up to full capacity the following week, with crew mask removal and shore leave permitted for them on that third full-capacity sailing.

Once in Alaska it was hit-n-miss on whether masks were required. Alaska has a fairly high state-wide vaccination rate, but that obviously varies by location. Some stores had a "mask required" policy and some ports were more liberal than others. If your shore excursion required transportation by bus or boat, then a "mask required" policy was in place. Once we were at our events, they were generally mask-free, but we took a lot of hiking excursions to try and get outdoors as much as possible.

Generally speaking, there are a LOT of options for shore excursions that would work for you and your wife. I'd avoid the most strenuous mountain hikes (we did one in Juneau and I suffered from leg cramps - at the WORST POSSIBLE TIME - for the next several days). Lots of boat, train and helicopter tours that get you deeper into the wilderness, but in a pretty controlled way. We booked all of our tours through the cruise ship as we'd heard if we did it that way, then if a tour ran late they were obligated to wait for us. Book it on your own and you "may" miss the departure from a port of call if something bad happens.

One of the "down sides" of us going out early was we were restricted to sailing to/from Seattle, and the cruise ship destinations from that port only hit the "southeast" part of the state. Some of the longer tours set forth from Vancouver, where they'll hit some of the same ports we did (Juneau, Skagway, Ketchican) but sail up closer to Anchorage and also offer overland tour extensions from there (e.g. double-decker "view deck" train ride up to Denali/Mt. McKinley).

Our group thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we'd all like to go back and see more of the state in a few years. It may be that we'll fly directly into Anchorage, do an overland leg, then sail south from there and fly home from Vancouver or Seattle. There are certainly a lot of options on the table going forward with Canada opening things up to us filthy COVID infested Americans in mid-August.

If it's on your list of places to see, then I'd highly encourage you to pull the trigger. The only downside: I'm dreading stepping on the scale in the morning. The food was incredible, and even though I really DID show some discipline and tried to eat healthy, there were times when that just went out the window based on what peaked my interest on the fantastic menu selections that were available to us.

Your trip and experience sounds amazing, and if there's one thing that I can relate to in your story after being gone 8 days on vacation myself it's that I'm sick and tired of eating.

Thanks for the great summary. It sounds like Princess really tried to make it as normal as possible and give you a great experience. I'm not surprised, they are a class cruise line although I've only been on them once to Mexico. Loved it.

Funny story. I had my annual physical exam scheduled for 5 days after the 15 day Hawaii cruise. Both the doctor and I laughed at my confidence or piss poor planning. I only gained a few pounds but nothing like stacking the deck against yourself. Better to be lucky than good I guess.
