    Default Happy frakin' birthday to me...



    Man, it all started out good. I was on my way to work and had just dropped the kids off with our babysitter. Anyway I decided, since its my B-day, I'll call in and have the day all to myself and maybe play some TW. Anyhoo, there's this big storm that hits and I hear a very large "Thud!!". I'm like, great, I bet another limb fell off my lilly tree. This SOB is over 100 years old and I had it prunned last year for $700. I go outside to see what the dilly-yo was and nicely placed under this 2 ton branch was my next door neighbor's son's girlfreind's 2005 Dodge Neon. Let's just say they didn't do an impact test for the roof. Well I go out there and try my best, while its storming, to put a tarp on there because the windows where all busted out. After the rain calmed down the Mom, son, and girlfriend come out of the house. They were all cool about it (or atleast i thought). They asked me to hang around because her dad was comming and he was super pissed. So I was like cool and told them I was sorry and all. We took a bunch of pictures with our digitals and what not. The Dad and mom pull up, dad's beyond pissed and yelling at the gal. So I'm like, "Sir, I'm sorry about the limb, thank God no one was hurt, do you want my information so our insurance (mine and his) could get this sorted out. He was like, "well, I'm sure my insurance will cover it since it was a storm and all." The whole time though he's yelling at his daughter and stuff until I'm like, "Dude, calm down, its not like she knew that the limb was going to land on her car". Well, I don't know if dad didn't like me calling him dude, or because he realised he was acting like a prick, he just got in the smashed up vehical and told his daughter to drive the truck back home. It was too bad because his daughter was cool although upset. I felt bad for her, UNTIL...
    Her boyfriend calls me from mom and dad's crib and asks me for my insurance #. I was like, "I'll get back to you". So I called my insurance company, put in a claim and all. I call back to give them the claim # and dad talks to me as nice as can be about, "This is waht insurance to for, and luckily no one was hurt and yadda yadda yadda". Either homeboy took some meds on his way back to the crib, or he was trying to stick me, I know the gig. Luckily my insurance company said tought titty about the whole thing since it was during a storm and the fact its a healthy tree.
    So my entire day, my 32nd birthday has been spent dealing with this, cleaning up a giant branch and cleaning the house for guests tonight. Next time, I'm working on my Birthday!!!

    Thanks for letting me vent.

    I was about to go to bed, since graphics slaves work on Saturdays too. Sorry man, I couldn't read your whole story- I hope everything's fine in the end, but I wanted to congratulate our Backroom Atomica for his new age.

    Happy birthday, big boy, spank it!

    Who doesn't love to deal with insurance issues on their birthday?

    Toss a few back, DD, and you'll feel better. As Homer Simpson said, "Beer. The solution to and cause of all of life's little problems." Or something like that. Happy birthday!

    Ouch, sorry to hear that, dude.

    The worst thing that happened on my birthday was when I saw a man die in the Mersey trying save his dog.

    happy birthday Dave.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Sounds like a perfect DD day. I'll be looking for your post in the Drunkards thread.

    Well, my night got better. The wife sent me out to get my favorite Pizza. The guy that runs the joint is from the old country and anytime I come in he puts my Chicago Delux in the oven then we sit down for a glass of some sort of Italian lemon flavored sipping whiskey and catch up on things. It makes my day, you, simple life kind of jazz. He's a great man, and makes good pizza. I had friends coming over so I got two Chicagos, a large cheese, and a veggie for the Mrs's. $50 worth of pizza, but it gets me closer to my goal of having a massive heart attack by 50 (18 more years to go, woohooo!!!).
    So the pizzas come out of the oven, I say chow to Mr Pizza and off i go back home. I get home with the pies, the wife shows up with the cake (which has the whipped cream icing, yummy) and we wait for the friends. And wait, and wait. They show up over an hour late, the pizzas cold, I'm starved and pissed because I'm smelling this great pizza, my buzz is gone from the LEMONCHELLO (that's the name of the sipping wisky, probably not the proper spelling though). But it was all good because I warmed the pizzas up on our pizza stones and my friends wife has nice hooters. The kids were running around all nuts, we had a grand old time, and i can feel one more artery clogged thanks to the great pizza from Village Pizza in New Athens.

    So now, I'm about to hit the sack. Maybe play a game of hide the sausage with Mrs DD and have the kids wake me up in some unGodly hour of the AM for waffles. 32 years, and it just doesn't get any better than this. Thanks to all of you for your freindship over the years, everyone of you. No matter how much of a jackass I am or how much we may disagree, remember that there is always a special place in my cholestrol-clogged little devdav heart of mine for each of you!!!

    Heres some snapeshots of the branch that fell off the tree. There's also one of where the branch came of it. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the car, Mr "I'm a big man because I can yell at my crying daughter" Dinkhead had already sped off before I could take some...




    And then there is just because I have cute kids!!!

    Dave, you make me feel safe as I approach thirty with unease and trepidation. You are a true example of what American family guys should be in the modern era: Kids, Pizza, booze, enthusiasm, and genuine compassion.


    You're a good dude. Happy Birthday buddy.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    People like you should be sent to jail for not training and properly taking care fo your trees. People always blame the trees, but that is just misdirected anger, because its the owners fault. Trees don't kill people, irresponsible tree owners do! I hope your pitbull didn't get loose and maul some old lady as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

    Anyway, happy b-day bro

    If it makes any difference, I scolded it and called it a bad bad tree three or four times.

    I had some Limoncino to chase some Absinthe on Canada Day, brought (smuggled) back by a buddy of mine who went on a cruise through the Med. You're right; it's delicious.

    Happy belated Birthday.
