She's not leaving her favorite stool at the Holiday Inn bar because it's always karaoke night. Hold up, time to get on stage and talk-sing "Delta Dawn."

Trying to think of any nation where there is a such a delta between God-tier civilization and shit-tier rulers. The entire world should team up to Make Iran Persia Again.
Cyrus isn't walking through that door.

I don't recall exactly. I have a vague idea that it was around $80 or so. One of the first (big) things I ever bought with my own money (aside from bubble gum and whatnot).
by contrast, I have a vague memory of being given a 50-cent piece by my Grandmother, who was very coin-savvy, and being told it was special and to hang onto it. Maybe a Franklin or something? So of course I pedaled down to Mr. Griffin's store and busted it up for comic books and candy. He asked me if I really wanted to spend it, sure I did, so he took it but kept it in the register until my Mom was in there later, and he swapped it back to her.
I was judged Non Compos Mentis by Gramama and she waited almost ten years before she gave me another vintage coin, a silver dollar. I still have it.

My first silver was a 10oz Johnson Matthey bar I bought when I was around 12 years old.
Hard core.
Probably cost about 60 bucks too, am I right?

So far the Star Trek tricorder to my brain has caused no complications. My vomit pills sit unused. Took one tylenol to treat a mild headache one day. I know I'm lucky.
Was able to go to art shows on different weekends, heave boxes around, and keep my con-man patter going with the customers. I was telling @InkaUtexas that was the best medicine of all. Fuck cancer, have a little fun.

Today I learned that composite materials that are not alive can be considered 'diseased.' Huh.
I don't think they're "diseased" so much as they were selected for a job they're not good at (based on my 4 hours in this lifetime of doing stuff with concrete.)
For an analogy, suppose you're in a rough bar and there's about to be a knife fight. But instead of getting a ride-or-die knife-fighting friend to help you, you run out to the car, snatch your 3-year-old out of the kiddy-seat, slap an Opinel into his tiny hand, and then dwarf-heave him into the mayhem.
He'd get butchered, and it's not his fault. You gave him an Opinel, which is a fine knife for woodworking, but without even a trace of a hand guard, it was always going to end badly.

Ding Ding Ding. Probably only need a couple inches of overlay.

I was just being a smart-ass, but if it works that'd be cool too.

Anybody remember what their first piece of gold or silver was? I am talking coins, rounds, or ingots, not class rings or such.
I have a hazy memory of buying a Mercury Dime from a dealer for 40 cents in the late 70s. Woulda meant spot was 5-6 dollars? I soon got a retail job where I occasionally got them in the till and "bought" them for a newer dime. I didn't even think about them being silver-- I just liked them because they were different. No telling how many silver Roosevelt Dimes and silver Quarters slipped through my fingers because I didn't check.
For silver bullion I think it was 2011, local shop had Libertads at 36, I got them to knock a dollar or two off by buying several. I was blessed with poverty so I wasn't able to buy more at that price.
About a year later, first gold coin was a Dos Pesos, paid maybe 80 bucks after gold was getting lower, same dude I had bought the Libertads from, the minute I said I wanted gold his whole attitude to me changed, I had been an obnoxious silver haggle-monkey but now I was a Gentleman.
And you?

Simple solution might be to just fill in the old pool with a thick layer of good material, sure, it'd be shallower, and I guess you'd have to provide helmets for anybody going off the diving board.

Zero results for "shoot the cag." Whitey remains in the dark.

Meanwhile the bill introduced 3 years ago that would allow people to purchase prescription drugs online from Canada gathers dust. GQP should embrace this bill because competition.
I was quoted $5000 to fill one of my two insulin prescriptions a couple weeks ago because my insurance company wouldn’t cover it. But why would they? For profit healthcare is best.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Could you travel to Canada and pick it up cheaper there?
I'm supposed to restart an immunotherapy course that insurance is being wobbly about. Might ask my doc if I can get it cheaper out of pocket at a clinic in the Bahamas, or maybe the Yucatan. Who knows what would actually be going in my arm, but I'd be on vacation.

My Dad had a can full of Mexican Un Centavo pennies, but my brother got that.
Love the old Mexican stuff. In olden days they allowed people with copper mines to stamp out their own centavos. Probably bought a dollar's worth of stuff back then. Bang bang bang, knockin out the money.

A friend who buys and sells silver and gold all day has one coin hobby-- pennies. He doesn't care if they're rare or not, he just likes them.

I think we are overthinking this. More like, his food is no longer free.
Reminds me of that Godzilla movie when Matthew Broderick hears the generals talking tactics vs. the monster, and he says something like "You're approaching this as if it were an enemy, but it's just an animal."

I’ll defer to the gentleman from Alabama on the creation of racist portmanteaus.
And not just any part of Alabama. 13 years of public schools in Selma. Go Saints. But I would have learned the racist stuff from elders who had been in minstrel shows.

I had an OJ “ football doll/toy” and a Staubach when I was a youth. Similar to a GI Joe sized doll/toy during the early’70s.
Later on into my youth, I shot the OJ doll withYou forgot to end the line with "aarrgghh...."

Can't decide if I want a tuna sammich or a roast beef sammich.
Tuna's prolly better against cancer. Unless there's mercury and shit in it.

Have a heart; they probably spent most of their lives being useful members of society instead of futzing around as psychotic narcissistic picture-drawers.
