  1. I'm pretty sure "shitgibbon" was coined on this site, by a foul-mouthed Southern Lady
  2. Jesus...this motherfucker is a china doll.
  3. That didn't happen. I'm part of a small chat group with a person that's inside the courtroom. A legit dude who's name you'd certainly recognize. if that had actually happened, I would have heard about it. Correction: He's got a seat for the trial, but was in the overflow room during jury selection, watching a live feed.
  4. FWIW, I don't "necessarily" believe the dotard farting story, but, I really really really WANT to believe it
  5. Shit...that was my assumption
  6. Danica's pretty cunty.
  7. Actually, for once in my life I'm proud of Trump. If you're going down on a felony, go down farting. You're paying those fucks at the defense table what...$800/hr each? Let them earn their pay nasally.
  8. Not SoCal, but walking through the middle of fucking Central London on Xmas Eve...surrounded by concrete and asphalt, a tiny fox ran past me. Poodle sized I'd say.
  9. Texas electing a sista lol. 100% of the GOP money goes to trump. Cruz isn't getting any national money.
  10. (Colombo) and one more thing...sometimes the nurse employment agencies will take down housing themselves and include it in the nurse's compensation. That's your best but, but you'll need to furnish it comfortably. And ask a trusted realtor friend for a referral for a photographer, and have it shot for 150 bucks or so because the photos are what you'll be judged by and they need to look great.
  11. oh jhorn, there are quite a few nurses that have "travel buddies" that take contracts together and room together (and 69 and whatnot according to my imagination). There's certainly a market for something larger than a single.
  12. Thanks Bear. Yeah, I had what is essentially a walk-out basement that had been used as a game room, with a pool table and pinball machine that nobody used. It's a hair over 400 sq ft. I built out a nice bathroom and kitchenette. The bathroom has a big shower, and a big sinktop with nice cabinetry. Kitchen is Ikea stuff...12 or 13 cu. ft. fridge/freezer with ice maker, a microwave/convection combo, an induction hot plate, service for 4 in dishes and glassware, etc. Roomy countertop with a good-sized sink. I also installed a mini-split heat pump, so it's cool or toasty as the occupant wishes. It's got a separate driveway, so parking is about 5 feet from the private entrance (which is at a lower level than the rest of the house). It's pretty private, but not too isolated. It's got a nice patio with a cover, so we bought a bistro set and a grill for them to use. Our laundry room doubles as the pool bathroom, so it has it's own entrance, so laundry isn't an issue for the tenants. I offer them exclusive use of the laundry room on a day of their choosing, or, they can just merge with the rest of us and throw in a load when they need to. I hung a nice smart TV (and put our Netflix, amazon, and the rest on that TV for them), give them fast wifi, etc. We furnished it with pretty high-grade stuff. A nice bed, cotton sheets, nice towels, etc. The GF decorated it "cute"* I put it on furnished finder for $1900/mo. Within a week, I got a cute nurse originally from Canada (with WA driver's license) that took a 120 day contract at one of the hospitals. She moved in and liked it well enough that she extended her contract. Their contracts are capped so they can't stay forever. Anyway, she was cool as shit and we were sorry to see her go, but within a few days of re-listing, I got a nice gal from SAT. She worked the same hospital and stayed 6 months. After feedback from nurse 1, I upped the rent to 2,000. Like the first gal, when this one left, she wrote us a beautiful note and left us a gift basket. So, I listed it again. This time, I got a call from a guy in his 20's. He's in the IBEW, and serving an apprenticeship at a local contractor. His family home is about 100 miles away. He came over, found the place perfect for him, and took it. He loves the fact that his truck is right outside the door (instead of in a motel parking lot), etc. He's been here 7 months or so. This stage of his apprenticeship ends in July, and he's really hoping to stay with this company for the next stage, or find another contractor in this area and continue to rent here. BTW, North San Diego is a fuckload nicer than where he's from, so I understand why he wants to stay. Truthfully, we like this young man as a tenant better than we liked the nurses. This guy leaves early and comes home late. He's 50 hrs/week minimum working, and gone a lot more than that. The nurses worked 3 12-hour shifts per week, and a lot of that was at night. Meaning, I didn't want to make a lot of noise during the day while they were sleeping. So, mower/weed whacker/chain saw time was restricted. Of course, I told the nurses that they were free to use the pool at any time All 3 of them are wonderful people, and both the nurses know that if they want to come back for a long weekend, they can have one of the spare bedrooms in the house for no charge. I'm sure if and when "Mike" leaves I'll get another nurse, and that's fine with me. r/travelnursing is a pretty good forum for finding out wants and needs. I've found that the most important thing for the women is to feel safe. Both of the nurses mentioned how safe they felt in their goodbye notes. * as to the "cute" decor, when Mike checked the place out, he said "yeah...I don't really need all these throw pillows...can you store these somewhere?". I knew right then I liked the guy. Somewhere in this long post, I deleted the part about being within 10 miles of 3 big hospitals. Location is important.
  13. SQ may well be a great machine, but the fact that the repair guy sees them rarely might have something to do with their tiny market share.
  14. Way upthread I said she was like Chick Hearn in his prime. She is a real pro.
  15. HOLY FUCK DUDE IS AFLAME. CNN REPORTER CALLING THE PLAY LIKE VINTAGE CHICK HEARN
  16. Seriously? The man sees the obvious problem and wants to solve it. The woman wants to discuss the problem instead of letting the man solve it.
  17. the stock market is 100% bullshit. It went from providing financing to growing businesses, to a bunch of fucks in expensive suits inventing bullshit to increase their bonuses.
  18. You laughed. A decent person may have said "fuck this shit, I want nothing to do with any organization that promotes this racist hatred" and would have bailed the fuck out. You laughed.
