This needs a bump.....
TV Land shows TAGS every afternoon from 3 to 6.
I started watching all of those early series episodes again and they are so fucking good.
Brilliant writing. All of the guest stars are great and of course all of the regulars are as well.
I have a lot more respect for Frances Baviar (Aunt Bee). She is absolutley brilliant in this series.
She also plays a good drunk. There are a couple of episodes where she accidently gets drunk and she is brilliant.
Barney also plays a good drunk in a couple of episodes as well.
This is the greatest 30 minute television show in history in my opinion.
TAGS is a great show with many of the episodes having some sort of ending message. Barney is a great character. I also have kudos for the Beverly Hillbillies. The writing is fantastic on how they subtly say things a bit edgy or racy without overtly saying it. Some of the episodes could not be made today.

We have electronic message boards throughout our facility with various information scrolling like a slide show. Every month the company displays the names of the individuals that are celebrating work anniversaries or are having birthdays in the given month. There are quite a few people that work here that goes by their middle name and not their first name. The message board only displays their first and last name. Without fail, each month there are multiple people on the board that has their first name listed but not the name that they commonly go by. I get it if the employee has worked here less than 3 to 5 years but some of the people up there are 20 to 40 plus year employees. How hard is it to actually personalize the message?

I’ve driven on 5 continents, in some of the lowest-developed countries in the world. They all have bad traffic, and all have bad manners in traffic. In most of those countries, signs and limits are purely decoration.
But once you get used to the informal rules of the road in any of those countries, they’re fairly predictable and you can be reasonably safe.
IMHO, the problem in Houston (lived there for 20 years) is that people from all those countries, plus ignorant Americans, are thrown together with no common understanding of what the informal rules are. They all try to use the informal rules from wherever they came from, but all of those informal rules are different. You have no idea if the guy approaching from a cross street is going to respect the sign or traffic signal. You have no idea what the expectations are for merging. It’s a complete crapshow.I have been to over 30 different countries. The only countries that I feel confident driving In consistently is the UK and Australia. China and India are a hard “no”.

We all saw Bijan's attempt at drawing the Falcon logo. Did anyone think a shoe design would be any different? Good thing he is

I watched it. I enjoyed it for the most part. I have not read the book nor did I know anything about this occuring. So, with that, it kept my "interest" eventhough I had a pretty good idea as to how it was going to turn out once I got into it. I suppose the "enjoyment" that I got from it was that I learned a bit more about the crooked past on how the Native Americans were treated and taken advantage of.
I was not impressed by Leonardo's facial expression throughout the movie with the severe underbite. I found it distracting and a bit comical. Secondly, perhaps shame on me, but I expected the Osages to not have the type of accent that they had in the movie particularly since it was still so early in the last century that this took place.
I would have liked a scene where the Osages took matters into their own hands. Also curious to know if any of the Osages have continued to be able to keep their wealth from that time period. Will have to check into that.
It is not a movie that I would take time to watch again but glad that I watched it to learn something new.

I bought a pair of sweatpants/joggers on the Nike app and when they arrived, I found they only have one front pocket. I double checked the pics in the app and it's not a manufacturing error. Who the fuck thinks that pants have "too much" storage, that you need to remove one of the front pockets??? There is a zippered pocket that runs down the side of the leg that you can use for your wallet or phone but it won't work if you want to put your hand in your pocket. Or don't want to have to unzip your pocket just to get your phone out. What a fucking stupid design decision.
I too, have suffered with sweats with just one back pocket. I am left handed so often times the single back pocket is on the wrong side.

So far, so good. Anybody who has had the vaccine and side-effects: How long did it take for those to appear?
It took about 7 hours or so before it hit me. I was miserable for about 10 to 12 hours. Once the fever broke I was perfectly normal.
The booster did not bother me at all.

Trash bin is shorter than the window.
I guess maybe I’m in the minority Of opening the garage door everyone gets in and I back out and trust nothing will be there. I need to do my 360° walk around like I do my work truckNot sure that you are in the minority but if you have kids it is important to do a walk around because they may leave stuff out too.

Change it to "thinks she already told me five times... but actually she talked to her best friend about it and maybe mentioned it to the dog"
It doesn’t matter. If words came out of her mouth then you are responsible regardless to whom they were directed to.

good one. footloose is weird though as I can't imagine more than a handful of people on this site growing up in a town in high school where you couldn't have a prom because church.
True. But I grew up in a small town and there was a certain level of what was assumed to be acceptable. We were all a bit naive to a certain extent.

1984 HS grad here. No one mentioning Footloose?

I need to buy these in bulk to hand out at our local Brookshire’s grocery store.
They look much more professional than the 3M post-it notes that I leave on the windshield.

I’ve been lurking on shag and surly going back to about 2015. As a 64 year old guy, I was finally inspired to make my first post earlier today on the “getting old sucks” thread, providing some advice on afib and cardio ablation. So, I thought I would continue to introduce myself and share some photos of a couple of my favorite pieces of Longhorn memorabilia: my personalized M. Brown and D. Royal autographed photo, and my 1969 National Champs mini-helmet with autos of Royal, Worster, Koy, Speyrer, and Street. Another hobby is collecting autos of Baseball HOF members, I’ve also attached a photo of part of that collection.
That is an impressive collection and nicely displayed. How many HOF autographs are you up to?

I have SVT. I lived with it for a number of years with no treatment as the episodes were very infrequent. Dehydration was sometimes a trigger for it so I tried to stay hydrated. Over time the episodes increased and I took Metoprolol to control it for a few years with no side affects. Eventually the meds did not work as well and I began to have episodes again so I elected to have an ablation. I had the procedure done this past March. Glad I did it despite putting it off because of the concern of having my heart messed with.
I was semi-conscious during the procedure. I could feel them changing my heart rate. I also remember developing a horrible itch on my leg that I kept trying to scratch and they ended up restraining my hands. Also recall talking a bit during it as well. Just went to the cardiologist yesterday and they have reduced my visits to once a year instead of twice a year.
I am 57 and am very active and have not slowed down at all prior to or after the procedure.

I miss Wide World of Sports. Jim McKay was great. Each Saturday you might get an Ali fight, or a demo derby and gymnastics, or barrel jumping and lumberjack competitions.

Atlanta does not realize what they have in him as a player and a person.

I am hoping to make it up that way and also to Craters of the Moon sometime between now and the end of June. Just trying to carve out some time to do so. If not then, I may have to push it to October.
