What is wrong with you people?

If any of them can get a plumbing license or do drywall or concrete, send them this way. That shit is out of control.

Sounds like whistling past the graveyard.

Scared people are scared their whole lives. It has nothing to do with age. There are just a whole bunch of chickenshit busybodies out there.

Are y'all saying the attorney is lying?

Our locker room (chemistry) is one of the big reasons we're 6-1. These guys are bought in and genuinely like each other.

There seems to be a world out there I just don't understand.

What happened to Job Corps?

I don't think that's correct. Passenger trains get priority over almost all freight except certain weird shit like orange juice. Military can jump priority but it's rarely done.

Rollleft with major bitch status in this thread. He may be wrong, but he'll still act like a condescending little cunt.

I don't know if we'll win, but based on what I've seen so far, I'm pretty sure we'll be the more physical team. That bodes well for us in this match up.

Tampa doesn't seem to be missing his play very much.

That's the boat I'm in. Neck and throat are the culprits. Surgery is an option but I've known three people who had the surgery and all told me it was a mixed bag and if they could have just used a CPAP they would rather do that.

A lightning strike took out my Uverse router on Tuesday, so no internet or TV at the house. Called AT&T and they shipped a new router that day to arrive yesterday (Thursday). My wife was there during the entire episode. We've talked about at least 35 times. She stays home Thursday from work. At around noon on Thursday I get this text. "The thermostat says its been disconnected from the internet for more than 24 hours. Can you check your phone app and see if it's ok?" I pondered this for a few minutes, considering and discarding several possible replies. I finally went with. "Baby, you're so pretty!" A few minutes later I get. "Damnit! LMAO! Blond moment." You're so pretty is my go to response when she says something patently stupid.

You got a mouse in your pocket?

To echo Chewy, your test should be a good indicator of which machine you need. Even then there are options. I've had 3 over the years and I'll just suggest getting the quietest one possible. Also consider portability as you'll want to take it with you when you travel and the easier it is to haul and set up, the better. Mask is key. When you go for your fitting, try on as many as you need to find one that's as comfortable as possible. How you sleep will be a big factor. I use a nose only mask like the first one on Chewy's post. It works for me as i'm primarily a side (80%) and back (20%) sleeper, but lot's of people don't like them. Take your time when you do your fitting and try each kind. You can get a new mask fairly inexpensively if you need to, but insurance generally only pays for 1 per year. I does take a week or two to get used to it, but stick to it. It really makes a bid difference in your quality of life it you use it every night and will benefit your heart greatly over time.

I have a couple of class A in the bedroom/hallway areas. A class C+B in the kitchen and a big class B in the garage. No basement in Texas.

My folks live on 3 acres and the house is a good 75 yards from the street down a winding gravel drive. You can't see the house from the street so they don't get too many unexpected visitors. They had a red heeler named Buster that pretty much roamed free. He never bit anyone but he was pretty damned scary if you didn't know him. One day my dad heard him out in the driveway barking and growling for a few minutes so he went and looked out the window. Buster had 3 Jehovah's Witnesses standing back to back in a triangle while he slowly circled them barking and growling. After he stopped laughing he opened the door and told them to run when they got a chance and he called Buster. Buster came to the house and the last he saw of them they were shagging ass down the drive, ties flying behind them. I wish we had cell phone cameras back then.

Got 1.25 inches in Manchaca yesterday in about 2 hours. Heard about 4 thunderclaps. Unfortunately one of them was across the street and blew the fuse on my transformer so power was out for about an hour. Full credit to PEC for getting there quickly and fixing it. Alas, my Uverse modem was fried so I'm without internet or TV until the new box arrives tomorrow. Also scared the living shit out of my wife, kids, and dogs. Startled me a bit too.

I made it 40 seconds and it took all my will power.

When my eldest was a senior in HS at 17 she found our pot and, since we'd had many conversations with her about the various intoxicants, she came right to us and said WTF? Turned out she had no clue we were regular smokers and she had been smoking for a couple of years on her own. I had told her that pot was better than alcohol, but she should wait until she was older to use them because of the potential for cognitive development issues. I didn't start until I was in my twenties but my wife started in high school and if that didn't demonstrate the case, nothing would. Anyway, she's a productive member of society now at 21 living on her own and paying all her own bills. My only rules were she couldn't smoke with us until she turned 18. My two other girls, 15 and 13, already know we smoke and neither has shown the slightest interest. In fact, I call my 15 year old Grandma Prude because she's somewhat disapproving of our lifestyle. She's got a very strong moral sense and always tries to do the right thing, but she's no narc fortunately. We've had lots of conversations on the subject and as she grows up, she's getting more understanding of the difference between illegal and immoral. It's tough to be a parent, but I've found the key is open communication and understanding. It also helps to get lucky and have good, self motivated kids with strong personal morals.

I miss 221 Cafe at the 221 Truck Stop in Buda. That might have been the best breakfast in central Texas for about 15 years.

K-Bob's definitely kicks ass.

I can't believe you think anybody who wants your cell phone can't get it any time they choose. I'm all for privacy but let's get real. Your shit is out there and anybody can get it.
