  1. I've looked on Amazon but so far no luck.
  2. Is pale grants another way of saying under the table payments by old Bama grads?
  3. Mine too. I offered to but her nicer purses (Kate Spade, Coach) for gifts but she says she won't spend more than $20 for a purse. And she buys one once every 2 or 3 years. But shoes are a different story. She doesn't buy anything expensive but she has more than she can ever wear. 2 hanging racks in her closet and a 3 layer shoe shelf next to the bed. I have 2 pair of dress shoes, a pair of steel toed boots, 1 pair of hiking boots and 2 pair of tennis shoes. Newest purchase was a couple of years ago. On another note, we had our 41st anniversary last week. I bought her roses and offered to take her out to dinner and go look for a gift. She said she wanted to stay home because there were TV 2 shows she wanted to watch. So she watched her shows and FB videos. She never got out of her chair that evening, so I handed her a card while she watched TV. I never got her a gift but she got me a hoe. And not the fun kind. Who says romance is dead?
  4. I tried to get a picture of all the trash and used cars that GOD must have thrown over the edge that landed here too. But I didn't have time.
  5. Oh, he is a registered sex offender. I'm pretty sure that's why he has them. He's rated low on their recidivism radar and was convicted in an online police sting.

    Getting old sucks

    My wife turned 65 last year and got on Medicare. She's been having back problems (inherited from her dad) and pain in her hips. She made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who took Medicare patients. He took x-rays of her hips and told her she was bone on bone in her hips and that she needed double hip replacement. When she ask him about options, he told her there were none and to come schedule an appointment when the pain became unbearable. He refused to talk to her about her back and said she needed to make another appointment. I told her that was BS and she needed to get a second opinion. She saw my surgeon who took an MRI. The surgeon said her hips were fine with no problems. She once worked in a surgeons office and could see there was nothing wrong with them. She had 2 bulging disc and arthritis in her back. No surgery needed, just pain management and exercise. How can two professionals be so far off in their diagnosis? I'm convinced the first one really didn't care and went in with a preconceived notion based on her age and insurance. I'd like to raise hell but she just wants to forget about it. It just pisses me off that he wouldn't listen to her, blew her off and said when it starts hurting to much, come back and we'll cut.
  7. I had read that he was doing some sketchy stuff. But, unless he was about to run, I don't understand why they just didn't get him at his desk, the parking lot at work or just pull him over at the end of the street. Predawn kicking in the door of someone who keeps firearms is probably not going to end peacefully.
  8. A month ago my wife took on a part-time job working for an estate sale company. After 2 estate sales we are in the hole, because she has bought more than she earned. "We need this dining room set for 8 in case our family shows up at the same time for dinner". Which has never happened in 30 years. And "I couldn't pass up on this bookcase, it was so cheap". Now all I need to do is build new walls in the house so we have a place to put it or clean out her room of teaching supplies which she "stored" 7 years ago after retiring from teaching.
  9. My ex-BIL was arrested in FAR west Texas in the 80's for DWI. He contacted a local attorney who told him that he could handle the case for $10,000. My BIL ask him how he was going to handle it. The attorney said just give him $10,000 and don't ask any questions. It magically all disappeared.
  10. When the covid lock down hit, my wife and I would just get in the car and drive through the country. My daughter was visiting country cemeteries and taking pics of a lot of the interesting tombstones, so we decided to see some too. And we still do occasionally, on Sunday afternoons. We saw this epitaph on a stone and I thought it looked like a good beginning for a movie.
  11. Maybe he carried his wallet in a briefcase?
  12. Somewhere, floating around the internet, is an NCAA report on Alabama recruiting violations in the 90's. They promised a kid $20k for signing. $10k up front and $10k after signing. The kid took the first briefcase full of $100's and then signed with someone else. Boosters were out $10k and couldn't do a thing about it.
  13. But, they've left her no choice!
