A salute to badasses on Veteran's Day
My grandfather was an artilleryman in WW2. My uncles said he wouldn't talk about what he saw with anyone but his buddies at the VFW hall. Both of my parents were USAF, they met in tech school. After they got married in 1969, they were told one of them had to GTFO, so mom left. Dad was active duty from 1967-1993, started as a medic and retired as hospital administration. Never got sent to Nam, closest we got was the Philippines in 1976. When I was a kid, I asked him why he didn't go to Vietnam. He shrugged and said "President Nixon didn't tell me to go." I didn't get it as a kid, but I laugh about it now.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
The older I get, the more easily triggered I get by certain words. Kiddo(s), hubby (hubs), doggo are the worst offenders. Yummy is another one.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
I was talking to the wife about buying something, I can't remember what it was. She wanted it, so she said "Let's pull the plug" instead of "pull the trigger". I said I'm glad you didn't say that to the doctor when I was in the hospital last month and he told us about treatment options. Mega tone in my direction.

terrorist shooting in vienna
I went on a school trip to VIenna in the mid 80s, so this hits close to home. Great city, had a blast.

Horns @ Pokes | Herman’s Death March | 3p CT FOX [41-34 final]
I hate that I was right but like I said, Sanders is a fucking turnover machine. Gundy wants to come off like a hard ass when he benches RBs for fumbling but he refuses to put Sanders on the pine when he commits multiple turnovers in a game. I'd ask how he's going to learn to take care of the ball but this is his 3rd year in the system, you'd think he'd get it by now. Oh wait, his coach is a pussy and won't do anything at all.

As an OSU fan, I smell a loss upcoming. Gundy is a boob, Sanders is a turnover machine. I see Sam running all over us when the WR are covered. Fuck this gay earth.

2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
Got hit with freezing rain in central OK. Work got shut down at 2 PM today. On the drive home, a car spun out on the interstate and almost hit me and another car. Then I come home to see my 5 big trees coated in ice and limbs broken off. Limbs are snapping all over my nieghborhood, fucking hell. The leaves haven't fallen off yet, so it's just that much worse. Fuck this shit.

My sister just got a Telluride, it's nice. I told her "You're 50 years old and your kids are grown, good thing you got a 7 passenger SUV!".

Shart 2020: Hindsight's a bitch
Spent a week in the hospital with a bowel obstruction. I was finally able to get some sleep on about day 3 but I was awoken by a fart that had a little something extra. Had to call my wife to deliver some back-up underwear. And I thought I would make it through the year unscathed....

Halloween bullshit

No WAY is that the Same Actor/Actress
I jerked it to Logan's Run a few times as a kid. Her and Farrah were both at the top of their game in that one.

Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
Happy birthday to you as well. I lost my mom 13 years ago, very unexpectedly. Her heart gave out, no indications that she was having trouble. The pain and shock were almost unreal. My biggest regret is that I didn't let myself grieve, please don't make that mistake. Give yourself the time and space to let it out. I'm pulling for you.

None taken, it is true. If I already had to use readers in my everyday life, this wouldn't be an issue. But I don't and I don't want to start now.

Android Thread
I got a Pixel 4a and I'm not thrilled with it. The phone is smaller than my Moto Z2 and that's fine but the font is so fucking small that I can't read anything. And that's with the font size maxed out. Why on earth won't they let you make it as big as you want??? I don't want to have to carry readers with me, for fucks sake. Everything else is fine, I guess. I don't care about the camera or shit like that.

SNF: Rams @ 49ers
I've been a Niners fan and Rams hater for 40 years but I must say, the Rams deserve better uniforms. These are garbage. Either use the 60s style or the 70s-90s ones.

Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
I spent a week in the hospital, got out a week ago (not covid). I'm dreading the hospital bills. I have insurance but I know I'll get hammered anyway. I keep telling myself that it'll be ok and I'll just make payment arrangements like I've done in the past but I feel like I'm letting my wife down by incurring these bills. Stupid, I know. She loves me and doesn't give a shit about the bills, she cares more about my health. I wish I had her outlook, she's the best. Add to that, my birthday was yesterday. I was kind of depressed as I had nothing to do, nowhere to go and there just aren't many options of shit to do these days. Not that I had big plans in mind but it sucks when you KNOW you aren't doing shit. It made it seem like any other boring-ass saturday, which bummed me out. I had a good day, so it wasn't all doom and gloom. I just want things to go back to how they were 8 months ago.

Who Are The Best High School Football Players You Have Seen Personally?
Went to HS with Cale Gundy so I saw many of his games, he was a year older than me. Several years after graduating, I watched my HS play in championship games against current VA Tech HC Justin Fuente (we won) and then vs Rocky Calmus and Kewon Jones (we lost). Fuck Tulsa schools BTW.
