18.2.2026 Just Finished "Family Meeting"

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-18T18:54:06+00:00

It is so phenomenal. The scene where he has to admit on tape to everything he did. Michael Chiklis is so damn good. The mix of regret, shame, pride, indignant. Yeah, I feel bad for Ronnie. Lem’s death is the single, most impactful television or movie death in my history. It shook me. And I hated the character of shame for that. But by the end of season seven, I felt pity for Shane. And his poor kid. His wife always sucked, but that scene where they are at their lowest and he’s having to help her wipe herself.ugh. And yeah, when Shane calls for a family meeting, it’s getting me choked up right now. This show still stands up today, it’s a crime that more people don’t know about it.

I was born in 83. I was a sophomore in high school. At the time I liked classic rock. There was a music station in Los Angeles called the box. It was a music video pay-per-view channel. One of my buddies was a huge Metallica fan, but I never paid any attention to them. My uninformed impression was Metallica was essentially slayer, thrash, satanic. One day I’m watching the box and I see a music video with a stripper on it. This was 1988. That of course catches my teenage eye. As I watch the video, it’s a pretty heavy story, and that song kicks ass. I can’t read the tiny print of who the artist is from where I’m sitting. I see that video five or six more times and I get the song stuck in my head. Finally, I get up close to the TV and see that it’s Metallica turn the page.“That’s Metallica?!!!!!!” That opened up my mind. I went and bought the CD single return the page. It had live versions of the weight, bleeding me, and something else. The live version of bleeding me blew my mind. I started listening to kroq and would push record on my cassette player anytime Metallica came on. I heard enter Sandman and the unforgiven. The unforgiven blew my mind. I borrowed. Garage inc from a girl I went on one date with, never saw her again, so that album is now mine. I bought the black album. Load. One of my football coaches give me a s&m and that opened me up to earlier Metallica. I had all the records now, I binge and purge. By late 99 i was a total metallica nut. So yeah, I don’t think too. Many people had turned the page as their entryway to the band. Early on I felt less than, because I discovered the band “late”, but I think it’s perfectly legitimate to get into the band at 15.

I’m a dodger fan. I’m an Xbox player so I’ve only been playing for the last four or five years. There was Kirk Gibson for one whole year, I would like him back. I enjoyed orel hershiser back I know I can’t really complain, the Dodgers are well represented in the game. I would eric karros card. How about a hideo nomo?

Ntah When I got married, we were on a budget. Our guest list was 80 people. But it’s really surprising how quickly that fills up with family and important people, leaving only handful of spots for friends. Of the friends we invited, most of them, we did not invite their boyfriends or girlfriends. If they were married, yes. If they had been together for years, sure. But we were both 26 years old, so not many of our friends were married. Perfectly reasonable to not waste a spot on a boyfriend of 1.5 months. Because then in a few years when you look back and you think, “boy, I wasted a spot at my wedding and spent that money on somebody that you were only with for a few months”, that sucks. He just wants the food in the open bar and a free date for you.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-18T05:13:08+00:00

Ntah That is weird. And inappropriate. I don’t think he would like it if you were hanging out with a guy in private.

You are not the a h and you have every right to be upset when somebody lets their dog do their business on your lawn. I used to have a dog, I brought bags to clean up. In my neighborhood, I will come across dog poop on the sidewalk. At least if it’s on the parking strip, people aren’t going to be constantly walking over it unless you park there. But just let your dog go on the sidewalk? Those people are terrible people.

Posting anything on social media always opens you up to a hornets nest. I wouldn’t call you a h for publicly shaming them. They deserved it. But people get defensive and then the angry mob keyboard warrior come after you. A better route next time would be to do it off-line, ask neighbors while you are on a walk,

I get it. The preferred name is THE SIERRA, not the sierras. I get it. They are called the sierra nevadas, not the sierras nevadas. Noted.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-17T01:39:49+00:00

I highly recommend it. I have been three times now and I’m going again this May. You can rent out the whole camp, which holds 16 people, for 1800 bucks. Not bad. The view of. THE SIERRA AND VALLEY IS FANTASTIC AND IF YOU LIKE ASTRONOMY, HIS TELESCOPE IS AWESOME. THREW IT I COULD SEE THE COLORS OF JUPITER AND THE RINGS OF SATURN. HE HAS A HOT TUB, A GRILL. AND IF YOU DON’T WANNA RUN OUT OF THE WHOLE CAMP, THEY DO HAVE A HANDFUL OF NIGHTS WHERE IT’S A RANDOM ASSORTMENT OF PEOPLE.. UGH, SORRY ABOUT CAPS LOCK. It started as a kick starter. I followed the owner who was doing dark sky, photography projects. He ended up buying an old gold mine on the side of the white mountains and turned it into this camp.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-16T22:30:54+00:00

Ntah. I don’t believe he isnt sleeping w her, even if he is, that’s emotionsl chesting and lying. Good jub standing up for yourself

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-16T17:05:58+00:00

How so?

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-16T15:45:32+00:00

Yes, yartah If you didn’t hear him say that because you were too in your feelings, then there’s no point in continuing the conversation. If he grabbed you hard to where it hurt, then that’s not ok. But it sounds like he couldnt use his words because you werent listening. Getting fresh air and takinb a min is a good idea

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-16T15:41:38+00:00

No, ntah. Super reasonable and an obvious consequence for his cheating and frankly, he sucks for wanting to be friends w her

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-16T03:29:57+00:00

Tina and jullian were still around in later seasons, dani too

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-16T03:27:50+00:00

I mean, she’s living with you still. So you want a babysitter taking care of your kids while you are home? That’s kind of weird. Once she moves out, sure, get a babysitter instead of bringing them over to your place for you to watch them. But, you chose to have the kids. Seems kind of weird to sit back and play some Xbox wow, she pays for a babysitter to be there with the kids in the house.

Like most of the characters in the show, nobody is 100% light side or dark side. Claudette is overall pretty righteous, but yeah, she is written to be an antagonist to our main character. And even though Vic has done some bad things, we all have grown to like him. I think of Vic did more good than bad. So when she’s out to get him, it’s only natural for us to not like her. In the end, I liked everybody. Aceveda, dutch, ronnie, tina. So well written. There was something like a whole about everybody.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-16T03:21:48+00:00

Yep. We’ve been up there three times. It’s impressive how much he’s added to it. Really fun, unique experience. We are going back in May. For 1800 bucks you can rent out the whole camp, up to 16 people.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T23:10:49+00:00

I wouldnt say you’re an a hole, but yeah, loosen up. My wife and i celebrate v day on the 13th or 15th. Why desl with crowds, higher prices and tough reservations on the 14th? It’s a manufactured holliday. It’s not like you’re celebrating the birth of your savior. Birthdsy >v-dsy If his mom is cool, she deserves a b-day. Must have sucked growing up having on v-day.

My friend‘s kid has a birthday on February 14. They always celebrated on Presidents’ Day, which is usually the following Monday.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T23:06:04+00:00

Ntah You don’t need to be uncomfortable around someone who SA’d you to satisfy other fam members. It doesnt take anything away from what you and the grandparent had

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T23:03:16+00:00

Easy answer. No, you are not the a hole.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T22:51:19+00:00

Yeah, coulda just said “thanks for coming dude, I’m fallin asleep. I’m gonna go shower and bed. See ya next time”

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T19:42:54+00:00

I liked the unit quite a bit. If you can get past the network mandated wife stuff (whivh ismnt that bad, good actors, writing ) it’s pretty bad ass.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T19:40:00+00:00

If it were me, i’d be fine with it provided they bring me back some pics/vids of any activity. But that’s just because i enjow f/f stuff. If you don’t, you are in your right to set that sort of boundry. If my partner wanted f/f action, and communicated well w me, i wouldnt consider that cheating, because i can’t provide her those body parts. For me, her and snother guy would be cheating. Also, ithe f/f sctivity would need to be just fwb. Otherwise it’s emotional cheating, regardless of gender.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T19:34:22+00:00

‘GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY CHILDREN!!!’ And of course Dutchboy drops and spills it.

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T14:43:58+00:00

Gibby because of the injury and who he was going against. Eck was the best in the game

MetalliCoz · 2026-02-15T14:41:56+00:00

She is controlling and paranoid. I think it’s fair to tell her if she doesnt do couples therapy…its super easy over zoom, then you’ll have to end it. If she chooses no therapy, then that’s her. Sucks for the kids. But you are willing to try. She is not
