I guess that depends on how you're holding the controller.

Thanks for the extra life gamer. As far as the WH goes, I don't think my Ohio buddy can muster enough "stuff" to tell his DW he's going there.......with me.......again.

A while back we learned how to make moonshine and I have been part of some really cool discussions about making bacon and holding onto sausages when Bark is around.
You have now been duly warned - I am just sayin.......

Oh, and pickin on your DW (dear wife) will likely get you a good whuppin from JustWannaBeMe and Shorts.
What he said is true. The only thing I'll add is if Shorts whoops ya you'll thank her, if Heidi does you'll wish you'd have told your wife she can't cook.

Evening y'all.

It's more like a workplace breakroom except no work ever takes place here. Although having a conversation with Cincydiesel is LIKE work most of the time.

We'll revisit this subject after you have your first breakroom coffee. We generally use urinal cakes for added flavor in the regular coffee and God only knows what in the ph00, (ph00 is that frilly flavored stuff the yuppies try to pass off as coffee... the old guy from Florida likes it).

Had one of those too. Nowadays if you give a young kid a hatchet, buck knife or woodburning set as a gift people think you are nuts. I did brand my older brother but he deserved it.

I lost the coin toss and have to clean the upstairs bathroom.

If I would have just done it without doing the coin toss I would have made lots of points and been a wonderful husband.
Now Im just a toilet scrubbing loser.
I will never learn
More company showing up tomorrow.

Kinda know the feeling. I've been up since 0330 and don't really know why. Finally decided to get up and... and... WHAT? There ain't a whole lot to do at this hour of the morning. Not exactly 'depressed' but the Christmas spirit is dwindling by the second. Maybe I'll do some writing. That's what I've always done when I've been in a funk and I haven't done it in a looong time, which I suppose is a good thing.



Ah well, good morning everyone.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24th, CHRISTMAS EVE:
1814 - The War of 1812 between the U.S. and Britain was ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in Belgium.

1943 - U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt appointed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower supreme commander of Allied forces as part of Operation Overlord.

1944 - A German submarine torpedoed the Belgian transport ship S.S. Leopoldville with 2,235 soldiers aboard. About 800 American soldiers died. The soldiers were crossing the English Channel to be reinforcements at the battle that become known as the Battle of the Bulge.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
It will do no good to get on the right track if you are headed in the wrong direction.

Coffee's on, ph00 t00.
