Okay, this is really really funny, but it might only be hilarious to me. I guess the Virginia department of real estate decided to come up with an "entertaining" way of teaching ethics to their members, so they came up with this "Ted Truitt" character to represent every bad agent stereotype that exists, and set up this website as if it was "The Ted" trying to coach other agents. You take "The Tedst" (test) to see if you've "got what it takes" to do things Ted's way, and when you answer the questions or even hover over the answers, he does different things, including (if you pick the ethical answer) getting slime dumped on him - he even wallows in it a bit, haha.

Okay, maybe I'm the only one that finds it hilarious. But good on Virginia. If only boring subjects in school were taught that amusingly!

So this question just was sent firmwide, in all seriousness,

but the wag in me could not resist a silly a$$ response. :evil:

GO DUCKS GO!

Congrats on the win last night!

Thank you! It was a great game, a huge win and a huge statement.

We got lucky and had some really awesome Detroit fans sitting directly behind us. Our section is full of season ticket holders (upper level, center ice) so it's rare that we have the enemy sitting amongst us. These folks were so nice and so respectful. They were aware of their audience and could talk smack and at the same time have respect for where they were. The Red Wings have a legacy that is to be respected - no matter who *your* team is and some fans think that means they own hockey.

So, Susan just called me:
Now, to me, this is not what I would call good news. I don't like the idea of someone chopping into my wife. I subscribe to the "No surgery is minor" school of thought. Sure, if the surgery is on me, it isn't a big deal, but not my beloved (I'm weird that way).

Seems the reason for her extreme cramps and probably a major contributor to our lack of success in the conception department is Endometriosis (Firefox doesn't think that is a real word). She went to the stirrups doctor this morning and was officially diagnosed.

I guess it is just a small incision below her belly button. I suspect that it is arthroscopic, but I am not sure. It should just be an outpatient procedure, but we'll know more later.

Susan is actually happy about this as she is looking forward to getting rid of the pain. I am looking foward to her being pain free and happy. I just wish she could get it without surgery.

Hey, what is it with the whole "throw a dead octopus on the ice" thing? I heard there were a couple of them last night. Is that a Detroit thing or a hockey thing? And WTF is that all about?

Which is why you're the wonderful husband you are. Not weird.

Sending good mojo for the procedure and I hope you're both pain free and conceiving soon! ;)

Actually, that is going to have to be a whole other discussion. I'm 42 and she's 40. I am not sure I am willing to go down the "high risk pregnancy" route.

It's a Detroit thing - generally reserved for "hat tricks" (when the same player scores 3 goals in a game). Normally people throw hats. They throw octopus. Not sure why they threw them last night. I guess they didn't want sushi.

Pos mojo for the surgery.
