My youngest broke his leg pretty badly back in Sept. during football practice. Ever since it has been an ordeal between the wheelchair headaches, full cast, crutches, physical therapy 2 Xs/week, getting him to do his exercises every day, and dealing with the **** at our insurance company. Good news we should be done w everything by the 31st and hopefully get him out there for baseball season.

Wait....cant say "bastages" on here?!? Merry Christmas everyone!

It is always a good idea to take a HIV rna testing, as it may save your life. You never know if you are infected, and it's better to ensure that everything is fine. I have some friends that are hiv infected because of their stupidity. At least, they are alive, because they have taken a hiv test at the needed time.
How about cooties? My girlfriend has cooties and I'm looking for a topical treatment. Hit my DM yo........ -

Not earth shattering but irritating none the less. About a month ago My car wouldn't start so I called my mechanic and had it towed to him. $70 . Needed alternator. $450.
Two weeks ago. Same problem. Tow $70 again. Monday before Christmas and he couldn't look at it until Friday after Christmas. So I loose holiday pay for missing day before holidays. Three days pay gone. Pick it up Friday after work. Needs a battery $130 Go to start it Saturday and same problem. Tow again $70. So he replaced alternator again. No charge but he says that's not the problem and he has no idea what it could be. So off it goes to another shop. Another $120 for tow and diagnose. Alternator is the problem. Tow back to original guy to put a good alternator in. Another $150 and 2 weeks with no car. Needed rides everywhere and no rental to be found.Post edited by chumlie on -

Had a similar thing happen to me. Alternator was squealing. Went to Volvo dealership & they said they could not work on it for 3 weeks. GREAT
Service Manager said "its not the alternator" without even looking at car... So I drive home. Next day I go to respectful garage that does work for me. He says YES it's the alternator. 450.00 later. I pick it up. Drive 1/2 mile down road & same squeal. I call him up & he says he isn't sure.... The alternator bolts to block. No belt. Shaft thru block & then out to pulley. Belt off pulley to PS Ac. Get home I smell rubber. That belt on pulley was the issue. Another 275.00 repair bill.... I will be a SOB the new aftermarket refurbished alternator has issues. Lights flicker. Voltage regulator I think. My old stock good Volvo alternator was picked up by the Napa driver for core charge. The lights flicker still. I give up.. -
I woke up, about ten times last night. That's about an average night.

I’m on a two-weeks-long 40th wedding anniversary trip with my wife.
Last Tuesday evening we wen to a classy seafood restaurant in London, where we enjoyed a fantastic dinner with a fine bottle of Champagne with my daughter and her husband, who were visiting her husband’s mother in London. My daughter and I shared a half dozen freshly shucked oysters.
Starting at 3:00 AM Wednesday morning, I started spewing sickness from both ends of the digestive track, and my daughter started about six hours later.
We both pretty nearly recovered on Thursday, but this experience was not in the plan for our London and Paris vacation.Family Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers.

About 4 years ago my (now) wife and I got pregnant a couple months into dating. She was quite excited about the new addition I however was not quite ready and wanted to get married first.
2 months in we ended up losing the baby in what was a very emotional time for us both. That situation put a lot of strain and pressure on us for the next 3 years. She would slowly get better but always fell back into that emotional state when seeing small children or during that time of the year. As bad as it was it made us a very connected and strong couple with respect and admiration for each other.
Now we are about 3 weeks away from our new addition coming, married and stable. I am a very lucky person and remind myself each day.Just a dude doing dude-ly things

Well lets see. I have so many to choose from...
Back in 2012 I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. I was told I only had a 70% chance of surviving with surgery and treatment. My wife at the time figured I was a goner so while I was in the hospital started a relationship with her doctor. After I recovered and was able to go back to work I caught her with him after coming home from work early and "according to the police report" discovered they were plotting to kill me. Luckily for me I always travel with a side arm and when they came up to my truck with guns I put a round in the chamber of the 45. Now I always qualified expert in the Army with a hand gun and my wife, who knew this, saw I had loaded and started running away. He turned and saw his backup bail and decided he'd better hide behind his vehicle. My wife called 911 and said she heard a gun shot and thinks I committed suicide. She hid in the woods till the cops came and I let him drive away under the understanding that what he did was wrong and never to see her again.
Well the SWAT team came and the special crimes negotiator told me to come outside unarmed (of course) so we could "talk" . After it was all over they all gave me my guns back saying "you're going to need these"
Good times.

Wow! Hope your cancer has gone away. You should sell this story to a soap opera. -

I hope and assume that you are no longer with her?

The worst thing that's happened lately; one of my Tube Mono Blocks took a dump yesterday. Smoke coming out of the top when powered on
After some over the phone diagnosis, I'm shipping it back to the Dealer. Hopefully it will be repaired and back here in a couple of weeks, as I am scheduled for the L200 Demo at about that time frame.

@afterburnt advised that the problem was that oysters were eaten in a month (either December or January) that had an “R” in it. @txcoastal1 correctly stated that this was backwards. Having lived in Alabama for a few years, where I first tried raw oysters, it was common knowledge that oysters should be avoided in months without an “R” in it. Miss me some Apalachicola oysters.

Bruce is stating the opposite if my reading fundamentals are working today. Yes you and I are stating the same. Only eat them in months WITH an R@afterburnt advised that the problem was that oysters were eaten in a month (either December or January) that had an “R” in it. @txcoastal1 correctly stated that this was backwards.

Correct as months WITH an R are cold weather months usually. May through August they spawn and the meat is not as good and you are more likely to ingest bad bacteria from the warmer waters and get very sick. In days of old before modern refrigeration that R stood for cold as Ice kept better to ship them inland safer.Post edited by pitdogg2 on -
You can always eat Rocky Mountain oysters in months without the "R".The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.
