You're really in trouble if it constipates.


And don't call me Shrewly!

 

back home; had a missing person/recovery. someone who wanted to play rescuer thought they should unclip the scent dog. probably saw it on tv.
my phone rang at 5AM to recover rescue dog. that I can do and did. talked gently with folk who did not do a complete search/only showed up for the photo. explained that anything is evidence to finish the job, stay within sight of each other,chased away boogie men. tired, made venison out on the grill (yes, it is 13 with a wind chill of -3) mashed taters and green beans, chocolate raspberries went well with fruit juice to rehydrate. anything else this week? IRS audit? drone strike? grow an ear on my shin?
I sure know why some folks drink...

A West Virginia winter poem It's winter in West Virginia, And the gentle breezes blow, 70 miles per hour at 10 below! Oh, how I love West Virginia When the snow's up to your butt; You take a breath of winter air And your nose is frozen shut. Yes, the weather here is wonderful, You may think I'm a fool. I could never leave West Virginia, Cause I'm frozen to the stool.

 

Can anyone spot the error in the following statement pulled off the leaderboard on nascar.com?

 

Nope.... I can't figure out the error. I like NASCAR but don't know much about the modern rules.

You really need to disconnect that phone for a couple of weeks and get some R&R. Really!

You are on a roll tonight. I see that movie (Airplane) when it comes on TV every 5 years or so. There is always something to laugh at.
Sad thing is it also reminds me of how much fun flying was 30-40 years ago.

Awhile back, for a variety of reasons (one of them was to lose weight), I gave up drinking again. I don't know why I haven't lost any weight yet.
I like it.

 

He accessed a penalty.
Maybe the Blues Brothers were wrong, and had to get to the Cook County accessor's office.
I've never actually seen it clear through, but they always play that blurb in the commercials for it.
Grandma's meatloaf is the only one I'll eat. She's given me the recipe several times but I'm afraid to make it cause I just know it won't come close to hers. It's even better with spiced dried tomatoes on it. Normally she just puts some ketchup on top before baking it.

40 hours at work this week and another 2 days to go. Boss will be gone Tues-Wed-Thurs so will turn in my hours tomorrow so he can leave a check for me.

Weather keeps it up we'll be cutting wheat the weekend I was hoping to get away this summer anyhow.....

Happy St Patricks Day to my Irish friends out there!

 

Try a different browser, the one you are using is obviously not remembering who you are when you change pages. Could be a ad blocker or anti virus program blocking a necessary cookie as well....that is where I would look.

I run Pale Moon with NO ad blocker or any add ons and it runs blisteringly fast...everything is up to date...flash, Java etc....

 

Uhh ok

Where's Shrewly and mr. Kincaid?

I need more sleep.

 

Yup, I AM running PM, no add-ons, no blockers. Was running it earlier and I'm running it now. Problems earlier, no problems now.

Oh, and not that this is a problem, but I thought I'd mention that no matter what browser I use, I have to play a little game with the sign-on box. Click on it once, click outside of it once, double click on it and THEN, and ONLY then, will my user name and password self-populate the two boxes. Even typing 'c' in the first box won't bring up the rest of my user name. Maybe it's the way the VB software has been set up but it's always been that way here. My own site using VB populates with one click or by typing the first letter of a users name. Another VB site I go to will only self-populate by typing the first letter, no clicking. So that's why I assume it's a software set-up issue.

 

Cold and slick day to all it may get above freezing here. Back to work

 

Scott's computer would work better if he'd stop spraying a suppression fog on it every time someone mentions Firefox or Hotmail........
silly fireman........

 

That right there is downright funny!!!

yes, aSSessed is proper form. but you are talking Nascar, sooooo........

anyone who has seen the movie Men of Honor with cuba gooding jr will remember that small scene. while recovering the bomb, an ill fitting rope was used against a cable and the bomb dropped about fifteen feet snapping a horizontal winch cable taking out the black diver's leg.(basis of movie)
That was 1st black navy diver and Master chief Petty Officer Carl Brashear, Jr. I had the extreme pleasure to meet his real life navy dive school partner
Ed Snowhill (stuttering swim team captain also exiled to same barracks as Brashear). He was happy to take some time off from outfitting a tourist manatee trip pontoon boat (Pro Dive Crystal River FL)to show me some personal pictures, letters and issued dive equipment including a full Mark V navy suit from that time period. best two hours of my life! I was humbled to learn that Ed was the American Navy diver that volunteered to access the main valve of cooling water in Chernobyl. he stopped further contamination of the rivers in Russia.
No Russian navy diver would do it, and seriously, with workers melted by this water, how keen would they be to dive in there. We are truly losing a generation that DEFINED America as the Home of the Free, Land of the Brave.

Hello to Topper, A fair irish jig to celebrate and show those LEGGS!!!!

BrotherBark, the biggest question is not to unhook the phone but train myself not to answer it. Helping others, beyond politics, is in my blood. trying to ignore that too but you know what that is like....

yay, it's 14 degrees and the tractor oil pump needs a change out yaayyyy!!!!!
(trying to psyche myself out to work in the cold on something that requires disassembling the whole tractor)
