Why can a contractor/construction crew never maintain a deadline, I mean seriously I get that shit happens but to blow every freakin deadline by a month or more! WTF??????

Because whoever bid the job is operating in pretend time.

AKA: a time frame in which sounds reasonable to the costumer, who has no real idea how long the job will really take but it sounds good so they hand over the money thinking that their complete home remodel will take 16 hours to complete. But it's ok because the salesman bidding the job probably has no idea what he's even doing in the first place.

Contractor time is kind of like hair stylist measurements. Just an inch = 3 inches. I just don't get it!!

Ha, not even penises..just a guy thing. I tell the wife I'm heading out for a beer (or having one more) it's always 3.

Sounds like that old Roseanne bit about men and maps

Maybe not a stupid question, but...is it wrong to have cereal for dinner two to four times a week?

(we're talking Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Raisin Bran and the occasional Cocoa Pebbles)

Why the new shirt design remembered me this joke?

Depends is this every week or those weeks where you are just to tired and or unmotivated enough to care as long as you eat something?

Follow up question - do you mix all of these together or do you eat the individually on different nights?

I was surviving on Reeses Puffs cereal & cinnamon toast crunch for like a month. I miss old Apple jacks

Maybe every other week - my husband's new job gets him home later than when I typically need to eat, so yes to the tired-unmotivated thing. Like now, just had a bowl (and working on the other kind ) and I feel so much better.

And no, no mixing of the cereals!

"Men can read maps better than women… cause only the male mind could conceive of one inch equalling a hundred miles." -Rosanne.

As to the cereal for dinner, what would this guy say?

hedonist

Oh for fuck's sake, Hobbes! I came *this* close to mentioning Seinfeld in that post.

Totally laughing here.

And yeah, Ident - haven't had the Jacks in ages but love them.

OMG honeycomb!!! Do they still make them? I need a box.

I think we may have found the source of your cereal addiction B-)

Also I now have a craving for apple cinnamon cheerios and there are none to be found in this house..... :-w

Haha! I've been a long-time fan of both.

And Honeycombs! Brings back memories of the cerebral lyrics of their commercials.

Well most people get a large portion of their nutritional needs at dinner. So just keep that in mind by making sure you're making up for that with breakfast, lunch, and snacks, and it doesn't make a difference. If you're simply replacing a good dinner with a bowl of cereal, that's not doing your body any favours nutritionally.

hedonist

I thought it was breakfast/lunch?! Usually those meals are fairly healthy for me, but unless I've got something already prepared or ready to re-heat, dinner is kind of fuck it, kind of tired, not in the mood to cook after work.

PJ_Soul

I thought it was the other way around for most people! Dinner's usually the one meal pepole put serious effort into... I thought! Just me?

hedonist

Could be a Canadian thing.






Weekend dinners are another story! THOSE get serious effort and indulging.

Doesn't it say have breakfast like an emperor, lunch like a king, and dinner like a beggar?

Not that I am living like that, but I think I remember people saying it.
