One of the new guys came to work smelling like he had bathed in axe body spray today.... I guess it does work, I sure was swooning... From nausea.

SQUEE!!! New phone is here! And it looks even more pink in person than it did in the photos! <3
Now I just have to navigate the whole activation thing and then I can finally be rid of the phone that only works intermittently when it feels like it maybe! ^.^
Edit: which looks like it won't be for a while. Probably not until tomorrow. Because shared accounts are a pain in the patootie when you want to do things and you're not listed as the primary account holder. :/
is it pink and super cute?
I like super cute and pink things....

The problem is, from that angle they always look like landscaping.
Now that he's back, let's all be honest...
...if Freehold took a selfie of his pants and posted them to a public forum, it would break the internet...
challenge accepted.

I really like long hair, but mine had started to look like it belonged to a Barbie that had been played with for too long. So haircut. It's not too bad, but I was pretty upset on the first day because my hairdresser styled it weird. It was like I went from Barbie hair to Lego hair. And now it's pretty much just run totally wild. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't hate it and that curls are cute. I do not adjust to change well. :)well hello...

Oh no wait, I just shaved.

Excellent.

Hey now just because I won't cut my hair doesn't mean I don't shave, also there's a lot of cross over with manscaping and landscaping (such as an eye for grade and attention to detail) I'd be a fool not to utilize it while I'm in my prime.

You were attacked by a button-down shirt?
(And if that was a Star Trek "City on the Edge of Forever" reference, bravo!)
no...as is common in my culture, my Maiden aunts were a bit...overzealous in making sure I was always appropriately dressed for social functions. As Panama is an old fashioned country and I was a growing boy, this meant many, many trips to the clothier.
On one such occasion, my great uncles wife(remarkable in that she did not want to be called aunt as in her subtext of our shared culture, it made her feel old) was a bit hasty with the fly while zipping up my long pants. I yelped in pain, she stiffly and awkwardly apologized, and kept making me try on pant after pant. After a while I was tired of being poked and scraped by pins meant to shown where the hem was to be, my aunts impatient hands in making me zip up my fly, and the disgusting heat of polyester blend in a country where there is no winter, only hot and wet and hot and dry.
So yeah. No monkey suits. Jeans and shirts like a civilized human being.

I suppose, to be more open, I should mention: I tend to wear jeans and either t-shirts or button-up shirts (I roll up the sleeves with long-sleeved shirts, which I prefer to short-sleeved ones, for some reason). I don't particularly enjoy polo-style shirts, despite loving them when I was a kid - I'm not entirely sure why. I avoid ties whenever possible (which, as it turns out, as a stay-at-home, is, like, always! :D) and any kind of "dress" pants are just... just terrible. They stick to my legs, pinch my hair, cause excess static, and... and... blech.
Shorts are great, but I rarely have them, because I generally only have two fitting pairs of pants that I alternate. Again: stay-at-home-dad, save money on clothes. (Most of my current clothes are actually gifts from family, and those mostly consist of shirts, soooooooo...)
I also cannot - cannot - stand dress socks. I don't know why they exist. My feet sweat more, stink more, and get rubbed or poked or scratched or whatsoever-have-you more than in 'normal' socks. I don't get why, I don't care why, they're just unpleasant for me and those around me when I wear them.
Sports jackets are similar, but I can mitigate their failures by wearing them part-time. My leather jackets, however (despite one being almost two decades old, and the other half that) are great, almost regardless of weather.
Tennis shoes are great. Dress shoes are fine, so long as they have a decent non-"I'm just going to slip everywhere and make loud clacking sounds when you walk" sole. Boots are fun, regardless of the kind.
Aaaaaaaaand that's probably all the information about my wardrobe anyone who isn't my wife could possibly want - probably more. :D

I'm also an Olive Garden fan. But I don't usually dress up to go, though if I go after work or church I'll usually be dressed up for that and not bother to change.
I can't comprehend. I got an appetizer with two triangular fried mozzarella pieces and three small chicken strips, and they charged me 12 dollars for a tiny portion of something clearly frozen and reheated. The main course was a chicken sandwich, which was dry, clearly reheated, small, and likewise expensive. Three people came out to fifty dollars for worse quality than McDonalds.

Dunno what to tell you. Every time I go there I practically gorge myself on breadsticks and salad, which are both amazing, then usually order some sort of pasta for the main course, of which I can't remember the last time I didn't take something home for leftovers. The course sizes have always been rather large that I've seen.
I tend to avoid appetizers, mostly because they don't tend to reheat well because I know I'll end up taking something home every time I go. But the times I've ordered them I tend to get the stuffed mushrooms (AWESOME) though there've been a few times I've been with friends who suggested something else.
Your experience sounds unlike anything I've ever seen at any OG establishment I've been to, both in Chattanooga and in Phoenix. Small portions is most certainly at the bottom of the list of the words I'd normally use to describe OG's plates.

I'm a button-down or polo shirt and jeans guy, though I have to wear slacks (and tie, ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh I hate ties) for work most of the time so I don't get to wear jeans often except on Saturdays and sometimes Sunday nights.
I do not wear shorts. Ever. Except to sleep in during the warmer parts of the year, and even then I never leave the house in them. Always long pants. Always.
I also only own one pair of shoes, black tennis shoes so I can get away with wearing them to work.

I'm up as well, mopping the floor, the mop was broken tho so I had to use wash clothes, a dish scrubber and a towel as my ancestors did in the before times.
I wear skater shoes, always have, always will. I don't even like wearing pants or jeans in the winter (long johns are great for that, gotta love grunge style:-D)

I have a love hate relationship with olive garden. Sometimes it hits the spot. Most times it's embarrassing to go there because we live in new York and can get good Italian anywhere(outside of some of the soups they offer). Still other times I prefer to make it myself(olive garden is basic cooking 101).

Those don't look like molars. Which teeth were they?
3 and 19. One had 3 roots, the other 2. Each root had to be removed separately because they both had old root canals and the teeth fell apart as they were being extracted. Nothing unusual for endo-treated toofs.
On the plus side, extracting 3 did NOT tear a hole in my sinus as they feared. On the minus side, I can't shoot milk out of my nose through the tooth hole as I hoped.

Yeah, I shop very carefully at Olive Garden to get something decent at a decent price. I do think they are outrageously expensive for a lot of things (especially appetizers). The deals, OTOH, are not bad and some of the pasta is really tasty. SOME of it.
I generally avoid standard fare at specialty restaurants because it's not in their sweet spot and will very probably disappoint.

Im glad your sinus survived intact.
On a related note, I may have to go in for extraction of all 5 wisdom teeth within the year

Small chicken sandwich? You mean the breadstick chicken sandwich? It is on the small side but it is from the kids menu so it's supposed to be. And $50 for 3 people is on the cheep side as far as sit down restaurants go. When I go out with my parents the bill is usually close to $80 for an appetizer, 3 drinks, and our entrees depending on where we go of course. And if you did order from the kids menu then the quality was probably similar to something from fast food as well.
Like others have recommended try the endless soup or salad and breadsticks next time (if there is a next time).
