Justwannabeme,
Thanks! Yeah.... I am sure Justin makes her parents proud. Think our Canadian friends want her back? Probably not, especially after we foisted Miley Cyrus upon them.

Actually, selfie is one of the few buzz words that I do know. Reason I made that post is because I had just heard the word used for the second time on a national newscast and had to vent without destroying the TV
. Like yourself, I am really sick of hearing it. I darn near missed that. Stan-----That's almost a local weather forcast and you and Bob aren't allowed to post them
. Please take care. People are dying from that stuff. Yeah, that's what I tell myself too. I love that feeling of coming back inside and that wonderful pain that shoots up your arms and legs as your fingers and toes thaw. Makes you feel alive. Kind of like hitting your thumb with a hammer. Been there. Done that. Yeah. I manage to embed a video one week than the next I cant even remember how to underline anything. As long as you don't try to do a selfie they will leave you alone. Still don't know why its ok for other people to do it. `

heheheh. she regrets that Billy is her dad, still wearing the tight 80s jeans and no shirt with a spray tan.....um, no.

Perhaps it depends upon ones definition of embarrassment. I am sure that many Canadian's are not particularly proud of Todd Bertuzzi, Ben Johnson, and of course Celine Dion. Perhaps Toronto Mayor Rob Ford can weigh in on this. LOL

You'd miss a lot less if you'd get a Facebook account!
I didn't think there was a specialist that you HAVEN'T seen in the 15 or so years I've known you! You KNOW what the answer is gonna be... 'we've never seen THAT before'!
Evening all. Processed firewood today. Or TRIED to at least. Didn't get a lot done except breaking/bending/destroying the wedge lift cylinder. Forgot to put a relief valve in the lines that feed it so when the wood pushes up on it, it can release the tension and simply compress the cylinder back up instead of bending it and breaking the casting.
Tried to get one from TSC... usual story; 'we don't have one but we can get one in a week or so'. They want 168 bucks and I'm having one 2nd day air shipped to me from my usual supplier for $138, shipping included. Raising and lowering the wedge with the winch cable for now.

Ben Johnson was Canadian? I thought he was from Kansas. Or is this a Ben Johnson that I'm not aware of?
Well, if someone comes on and asks if you've spent most of your time in bars pursuing sins of the flesh, and you say yes, then ask about the beanbag chair eating cheetos, and you say yes, I hope you say "no. You were getting close" when they ask if you feel like sending them a thousand dollars.
Got some good news today. Boss' dad told me they are going to average my paychecks for last month and pay me two weeks at that rate, kinda paid vacation so I can get by. I will be in good shape. Boss' wife is dropping my check for this week (a whopping 14 hours) at the bank for me tomorrow. Went into the bank and asked if I could defer payments for 4-5 weeks, and the loan officer deferred them for 2 months, next payment due April 11, there's $25 a week I don't have to worry about. Boss' step-mom called and said there were a couple containers with potato salad and pot roast and some cookies (sugar cookies) in the breezeway to their garage. Pretty good stuff. Pot roast is a little heavy on the vinegar but still good.
Got out in the shop and helped out a little. Guided Corry in with the flattop so he can change the front hub seals, got left-and right-handed bolts sorted out and ready with washers and spacers for the boss putting the closing wheels on the new planter. It has clutches on the row units so that the GPS can shut them off individually, should be real nice on the turnrows and crooked fields. Get everything planted with no overlap.
Had a Subway sub for lunch. They got 6 inch chicken for $3 this month. It was goooooood.
Well looks like I get to sit in the beanbag chair naked eating Cheetos and watching old Dukes of Hazards reruns

Ben Johnson, the Canadian Olympic sprinter that beat Carl Lewis in a record breaking run and therefore winning a gold medal. A day or so later Canadian officials receive word that Ben had tested positive for illegal anabolic steroids and was stripped of the medal, relinquishing it to Carl Lewis.

Now go sign up for your health care before you get in trouble.
Seems like I am always pushed for time even though I don't do much.
I don't know how you find the time to log on most days since you are involved with four times the activity as me.
In fact I think most of the people here have more going on than me.
Even those old ones.
Thought they were going to beat us with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford but he has slacked off.
Isn't it about time for Biden to say something stupid again?
edit: Ooops, didn't see Dr. Dizzles comment on Ford.

Morning all - - late getting up this morning. Wife threatened me with great bodily harm if I got up early, so laid there awake for an hour until she got up for bathroom break - - so I snuck out while she was gone. Will probably pay for that one later.
I didn't get to vote. Did you vote in secret? Sounds like Congress to me. As for health care, when Congress goes on Obama care and gets rid of that great plan we are paying for, I will go on it. YEH.
Someone said your dog house pretty nice - - better than what your wife sleeps in. Is that right???? No wonder you get beat up. ............
Checked the ph00 - - definitely not right - - no offense, Scott. Not the maker, it is the product. Soooo, I dumped it, brought in some fresh mocha crème. Oh it is so smooth and yummy. It is made and ready fur ya. Getting mine and hitting the road....................
.........
Ya'll have a gudurn.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Exactly. Well put. Ditto.
Good morning. Anybody up in the frozen, snowy north built igloos yet?
The coffee is ......... hot.
I see that a certain member here objects to weather reports. What is wrong if anybody mentions what gorgeous days they are experiencing? Can't we share that the foreseeable future is all going to be clear skies, almost no wind, low humidity and daytime temperature around 27C? Oh, and no snow! We could use a bit of rain tho. Having to run my lawn sprinklers a bit more than usual.
That reminds me. Last week my wife hosted a hen's party here and the ladies had a big table and chairs out on the lawn. One of the women was looking around and noticed our lawn sprinklers and made a comment to my wife about them. That woke my wife up to the fact that we had forgotten to turn the sprinklers off for the party and they were almost due to come on. Boy, did she run fast to turn them off. That was funny.
Time for another cup of java. Whatever happened to javaluva?
