  1. Just something to consider: this morning the topic of of the corona virus came up in our morning safety meeting with the hourly guys. After the meeting, one of the salary folks says off handily that his cousin just came back from China where she is a teacher. He went on to say that not long after she got back, she became ill. Not long after that, her family became ill as well.
    I looked at him like this:

    He finally realized what the potential implications were and that she might have brought the corona virus back with her. These are people who most likely did not go to the doctor or if they did they would not have mentioned that their relative just got back from China and became ill. At this point the shit is here and we will only hear about the extremely ill/dead.

  2. My question would be if you have the 57k in credit card charges paid off, do you/your wife have the discipline to not start charging again? You could come out ahead by doing the refi on the house and getting the card charges at a discounted interest rate, but not if it just becomes 57k of potential/probable debt again. If you do the refi, I would push to keep making the extra $1400 payments, but toward the house instead.

  3. That is not how it works. It can trigger an auto immune reaction as well as a host of other unseen issues such as perforated gut.

    In her case it does. We tried her on gluten again about 8 months ago and she had diarrhea within an hour of eating. Wait a couple of days and she’s back to normal.
  4. Today we drove to Dallas for the weekend. We were almost to Rockwall and both kids had been asleep. The sever year old wakes up and says:
    “Can we go to the App Store while we’re in Dallas?”
    Holy shit I almost wrecked from laughing. She had no idea why we were laughing.

  5. Few weeks ago, I am in my office and hear my wife screaming “OMG!  Fire!”.  I run out, thinking my dryer lint has finally caught fire (40+ years old and likely never cleaned).  I run thru the smoke filled house and into the laundry and check it, nada.  I hear her behind me “it’s this!”. 
     
    The baby had been sick, so she had decided to boil the pacifiers to sanitize them.  Puts 6 pacifiers in a pot of water, turns the heat on, and walks away.  God knows how many hours later, the water had all boiled out and the melting plastic filled the house with toxic smoke.  Real cool.  Thanks for the cancer, wifey.

    I can’t tell you how many WubbaNubs with burned spots on them that we had. Probably every single one had been burned to some degree. Gas ranges and cloth don’t mix.
  6. I was in Westerville, Oh recently for work and we tried out Flip Side one night for dinner. The menu probably has 20 burgers on it and the majority of them sounded damn good. I ended up ordering the French Flip. In addition to the burger, it consisted of:
    Beer Braised short ribs, caramelized onions and jus, swiss cheese, roasted garlic and herb aioli.
    It was damn good. Definitely a place I will keep on my list for the next time we are up there.

  7. Is anyone else both mildly terrified and completely unsurprised that marcstanco is flying people around using a $200 app that he downloaded from the app store? The concept of hopping into a plane or helicopter and marcstanco is running things up front is going to give me night terrors. 

    Just imagine how it is for those of us who do know him. I must admit I do know people who have flown with him and lived, so the internet must not have went down those days.
  8. Meanwhile, you'll get written up if you're walking and texting while on any of those sites lol. At least priorities are in the right place. 

    Jesus Christ I thought this was just my plant. Damn sure don’t get caught violating a rule in the parking lot if you are salary. If you are hourly, you can be caught on camera driving across a fucking sidewalk and not shit will be done.
