  1. I used to crawl way out on the edge of the roof to clean the gutters. Two story drop to concrete, never a worry. Then one day The Fear came. Now I clean that gutter using a long-ass pole while climbing a ladder where if I fall, 6' drop to wooden deck. Probably equally dangerous, but The Fear doesn't reach me there. I am too hard-headed and cheap to hire some young dudes. Guess I might wanna get over that.
  2. HELL YEAH!
  3. Or not.
  4. Still have a huge amount to learn, but better than not having it. This diabetes was supposed to be a 3 hour cruise, but it's got the makings of a beloved multi-year show. Still not dead though. Rock on.
  5. What am I supposed to do with this yacht I bought?
  6. Old Testament is like a porno version of a Conan story. I was reading Book of Kings as a young spider monkey while the preacher would carry on about forgiveness.
  7. After a few days getting to know Insulin, it's my new best friend, my Elvin blade Sting. Shit works. It's like I suddenly have a brake pedal and steering wheel that work. I still let the sugar run a smidge high, because that's what I deal with best, but am learning how to slowwwly creep it down.
  8. They're Russians. Make them sail around enough, and they'll all find a way to sink.
  9. Come for the cancer, stay for the diabetes. I picked up some agitation in my kidney, maybe from the Keytruda. So we paused that, and doc gave my Prednisone to knock out the -itis. Except I could barely take it because my sugar would spike, like over 600. Is that bad? After a dance of wrong insulin, denied insulin, and actual prescribed insulin, I am on my second day of stabbing myself with it in the belly. Yesterday, fuck-all happened but it wasn't too high anyway so we were good. Took my Pred. Today, I decided to make the game interesting, so I rolled over to Taco Casa and got the #1 special w/enchilada, taco, rice, beans, and a few chips in case the carbs were too weak. Went home, it's like 380 sugar, I take 6 units (a tad under recs because I don't want to fish-tail it,) an hour later it's 400-something. I eat meatballs and my Inner British Army Sergeant says "Wait for it... wait for it..." Shortly after that Mrs. Canecutter cooks more low-carb food, I'm at 330-ish. Fuggit. Stab 6 more units in Mah Bellih. Right before midnight, blood sugar drops to 188. S'wut I'm talkin about. Throw down some Prednisone goodness. So why am I still awake? I've got an entry to the Shart 2024 Thread just waiting to jump slap out my ass but it's cagey, it's waiting for me to get up off the toilet.
  10. I dunno, over-education helped me waste some years when I could have been actually going to the places I studied maybe 20 years earlier than I did, have 3 or 4 wives who didn't know about each other kicking out babies on the reg, and of course I'd die young from stress so there's that too.
  11. When I was 15, I tagged along with my electrician father in Ft. Walton or Mary Esther or whatever slapped-together beach town. He had a whole side-gig repairing non-code shit inflicted on the homeowners by [insert narcotic]-head previous electricians. One job was so egregious, with wiring trailing off into damp sand, that he called me over, pointed it out, and said "RD, maybe you'll be an electrician, maybe you'll do something else, but whatever it is, promise me you'll never do shit work." I've tried to keep that in mind. But it would have saved a lot more money if he'd told it to whoever UT hired to build that patio.
  12. We usin pound/pounds, or kilogram/pounds?
  13. I descend from half the Confederate Army, and even I think that's weasely.
  14. Keep bribe money handy. Cash, not card.
  15. What part of Uvalde is that? Dudes all fat as hell. I'm talkin FAT as HELL.
  16. I don't know why you felt the need to make up the part about the wig.
  17. Ah yes. Same State but Different State. He's the guy I was thinking of.
  18. Just ordered a dozen tamales from local group ¡HICA! No habîa lengua, so I'm gettin chicken and queso fresco + jalapeño as a palate cleanser. Comes with chips, salsa, and (hopefully Mexican) Co-Cola.
  19. Talkin about in West Virginia?
  20. Yeah but the British stand in those rows, wear red coats, and musta been a 100 of them beatin on the drums. Silencers don't even figure.
  21. You are right. But I see this murder getting a similar reaction no matter who won the election. Think about the reaction when some parent snuffs a child molester. There is a level of loathsomeness that if attained by a victim, nobody cares. Seems like Insurance CEO snuck over the wire into "child molester" territory, if molesting children were technically legal. I didn't think about them at all before, probably because my insurance is not complete shit. Those with shit insurance appear to feel differently.
  22. Spend your whole life murdering your fellow countrymen, just so you can lounge around in a public library with no books.
