  1. I just popped 4 Dulcolax to start the cleanse for tomorrows colonoscopy. At least I'm first in line for the procedure so I won't have to wait long.
  2. I'm guessing that this is a cover. Don't make a shit either way.
  3. I quoted this tweet on another forum that I thought was made up of rational humans. The very first response mentioned Taylor Swift. 57 comments later, not one person has said anything about SS. Dumbfucks
  4. My Dad's sister, my favorite Aunt, lost her battle with covid last night. A close friend, neighbor lady that treated our kids like her own grandkids, passed from it this morning. My best friend lost his dad 2 weeks ago from covid and just texted me that his brother lost both his mother in law and father in law to covid overnight. He's off to Iowa to handle chores on his brothers farm until things settle down. All of these folks were elderly but goddamnit they would all be here today if not for this shit. I'm not sure why I'm posting other than it feels right to spew something right now.
  5. Man, I don't have any good advice for shit like that. I don't FB or social media other that what I do here . I always think that if I ignore the loonies, they don't exist. Call me Pollyanna but that's what I do. Good luck dealing with this.
  6. Not a particular show but I always wanted to see a show at either Fillmore.
  7. Good to hear. My wife received a letter from SSA yesterday that informed her that she was no longer disabled. It really brightened her day. Because of her 66th birthday, she is now "retired". I was amused at her reaction but I guess I never realized the way that her "disability" colored her outlook. Her comment to me was that after 35 years she is a normie again. Her progress was so slow but steady that I forget sometimes just how far she has come. Keep up the work, it does get better. I'm pulling for you.
  8. Probably the "shit on blast" thread in IPIHB, maybe? How are you getting along?
  9. Like the Royals even know what to do with a 15% walk rate.
  10. This shit is good. We made biscuits to put under the first serving. I added some cubed leftover turkey to the leftovers and put it over cornbread. Even better.
  11. I don't remember why he changed from Richie to Dick , maybe he hated the nickname, but he was always Richie to me. One hell of a player and one that my folks made me aware of for the abuse he endured. As racist as my grandfathers were, it's amazing that my folks took every opportunity to preach tolerance and love to us kids.
  12. Thanks, Cajun. I haven't watched that in a looong time. That got me thinking about Rachel Fury, of course, and that led me to a blogpost , http://www.deanfromaustralia.com/2011/06/oh-beautiful-fury.html . That led me to a youtube video of PF performing after hours as The Fishermen. Good stuff even though it's a little ragged at times. The ladies are much more prominent and knock it out of the park.
  13. What is the difference between pink and purple? Your grip
  14. A black dot at both ends of Titleist, both sides of the ball. In the dimples closest to being centered.
  15. Help me out here. I'm knee deep in an American pickers marathon on the history channel.
  16. For a moment I was convinced that my Mennonite ass could dance. Sadly, I could not.
  17. Imma asked what Surly means to me so I'll tell you. This place has expanded my music horizons more than any other influence I can think of. I always thought I was well-rounded and somewhat eclectic in my tastes but I have been exposed to a lot of music here that I would have never found on my own. Special shout to @hullabelew(Sam Baker, Gurf Morlix) @Al_4_ISU(Driveby Truckers, Turnpike Troubadors, Son Volt) @jimmyjazz( Austin area musicians in general). Others too numerous to mention. The "What are you listening to right now" thread is one of the first I hit every day. Alt Country was a genre that I never gave the time of day to. I have lots of it on my Spotify now. Thanks and keep up the good work. Oh yeah, another shout to @Cajun, @atomheartbevo, @stc and probably others I'm forgetting for being PF brothers.
  18. Everything I have heard of Wilco was on YHF. No thanks. Edit to add that there is probably a better thread to discuss this. Sorry, Jason. Sorry, Sturgill.
  19. [ raises hand ]
  20. I gotta be honest, I don't get the Wilco love. I'll also be honest and say that the first few tunes I heard didn't hook me and I never dove any deeper.
  21. My introduction to Son Volt was Cherokee Street Girl but I had a similar thought.
  22. It is the LOL thread.
  23. Lessee, $40 x 25 = $1000. With all of the hotdogs at $3 per pack and Oreos at $4.50 I don't see how he makes any money. Maybe he gets a farm subsidy. I hope he posts the skinnin day video.
  24. That "All I Wanna Do" song got played to death. I'm a little sick of her.
