I have houses for sale on my street. This graph is showing the frequency of googling the term "Move to Canada" during yesterday up to and including the debate...., which was near the end of the graph. C'mon up..., I could use some friends

It’ snot that she doesn’t like the way you dry the dishes. She just doesn’t like the noise the leaf blower makes and the smelly exhaust.

When you step in a poodle.

If your want is savings, then save. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. My parents have LOTS of money saved and now dad is basically invalid and cannot use it. Might have been fun to have a hot rod or whatever when he was 70 and could enjoy it. Just a thought.

@jsharr time to swoop in on the 2 million dollar home down the street My first offer is $49.95 plus a case of Costco water

Won't they starve in Texas?

Dry dishes? Isn’t that what the rack is for? I let gravity do that work.

We have eater in the kitchen. Been doing some remodeling and the countrrtop company was slow getting our top. They installed it yesterday then we had to wait 24 hours before using water. No more doing dishes in the tub😁

Cook it in a few tablespoons of bacon fat silly. NYC is making you soft in the head.

Hey SW. Pay attention.

I thought that it would be Leadville Colorado.

I'm more of a 36/24/34 type of guy.

I was wondering why you were sharing your chainring sizes...

Here is the lower shelf: And again after a shopping trip:

I used to sail with a guy that retired to live on his sailboat and sail around the world. He told me his plan was to die with a quarter in his pocket so that whoever found him could call the undertaker. Sadly, he died soon after retiring when the heater on his boat failed and asphyxiated him. I want to leave my kids with no worries. All my funeral expenses paid and what little money I have left to them. I would love for my ashes to be spread at one or all of the Boy Scout camps near Dallas or on the land that my family settled in the 1840s here in Dallas.

Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules.

Here is a recent picture of new arrivals to Texas getting their guns

...and "800" numbers? I'm thinking, "what's the point" for 800, 888, 877, 866 prefixes these days anyway? Is it just for the old folks like us that associate an 800 number with a national or bigger business? I remember when my parent would get the phone bill and would scan the long distance charges and yell "WHO CALLED CALIFORNIA?!?!?!?! Do you know how much that cost!?!?!?!"

As my University years were winding up, a good friend of mine and I were looking at doing and planning for the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, but he had to leave right away and with sickness in my family, the trip was scrapped. I have often thought about it and honestly dont think I have it in me anymore. We have often talked about me celebrating retirement with a 30 or 60 day canoe trip across the Arctic barrens, but with intense mosquito plagues there, my wife has told me she will meet me at the end. She is my fav bow paddler and I really dont want a trip without her. This however..., is certainly doable. I have some research to do. https://api.nationalgeographic.com/distribution/public/amp/travel/destinations/north-america/united-states/paddle-the-longest-inland-water-trail

A Craig list....., I see what you did there

That's one way to get out of doing the dishes. Now you just need to suck at cutting grass.

@Airehead thank you for asking. Mild concussion, so I’ve been doing nothing as much as possible to give my brain some healing time. It’s tough when there are lesson plans and iep updates to write. But mostly I’ve stayed away from screens and reading. Taking my car to the body shop today.

Why are we not surprised?

Normally, 80/20 is good, 85/15 in a pinch. All you Nancy-boys out there who get the leanest beef they can find simply don't deserve a good burger, and I spit on your grave (preemptively)!

How much you need to save depends on how much you already have saved, if your retirement includes a pension, annuity, rental property income, etc. that, with Soc.Sec. more than meets retirement income needs, if your home will be mortgage-free at retirement, if your retirement benefits include employer-subsidized health insurance/Medicare supplemental, if your house is in a reasonable property-tax zone and similar stuff. If you've got enough income to save 20% or more and are doing it, you're certainly in the top few percent of people. The avg. person is spending most or all of their income to just get by, even before the pandemic. Of course, a lot of people don't have the self-discipline to live within their means but, for whatever reason, about 40% of Americans say they can't pay a $400 emergency with cash, savings, or a credit card they would quickly pay off. If the avg. person can save 20% of income for an extended period of time, that's amazing and he/she should retire in comfortable shape. I didn't do big overseas vacations until my late 40's because of wanting to save at least 15% of salary, buying a house, etc. But t hen I started to spend much more for "wants" and my savings dipped to 3% to 5% some years, but by then I had set things in motion to have a retirement income a little bigger than the avg. full-time worker's income as well as no mortgage at retirement (downsizing to a smaller house - the one I grew up in), 75% low-cost-very-large-employer subsidized near-Cadillac BCBS Medicare Supplemental, etc. When my house burned in March, I was disappointed at the loss of mementos, but I had made sure of financial-wellness until the day of my cremation and that reduced a lot of stress.

Make him drive an Aztek from now on.

Since before you were born. Proper justice would be confiscation of the car forever and removal of his license for a couple of years.

geek humor is funny...I had to look up the IPs to understand it.... it is funny

And the Parody Meter says.................... 6.39

there's a banned book week? no book should be banned...author's lives matter

Usually there is a height chart in the frame????? Did you crop that out?

I'd come. I will be close so maybe I'll just catch a boat out of White Rock.

Seriously, was somebody totally stoned, or just asleep at the wheel?

I would love to. I love Canada and the citizens there.

Can I keep cattle in the yard?

Amen

That's one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. Does this place have a hall of fame wall somewhere? If not, it should. This belongs there.

My high school sweetheart lived over the state line in Pennsylvania. I am getting PTSD just reading this thread. I remember a $60 phone bill. My whole paychecks went to my dad.

This. Daisy first, Crossman .177/b.b. second. Then if she is still into guns look at a Benjamin .22 multi pump.

True story. I made meatloaf Saturday. Leftovers tonight. I use onions, celery, tomato juice, vinegar, paprika, eggs, chicken broth, tapioca, hot sauce, mustard, parsley, salt and pepper and cheese. Beef and lamb, a pound each.

The Dr. said concussion and that I have too much muscle tension in my neck and shoulders. So, I got two days off work and a referral for PT. I’ll let you know if my therapist is hot.
