Where's the outrage against Spike Lee who is part owner of a NBA team who said after returning from a trip to Africa "I seriously wanted to pick up a gun and shoot whites. The only way to resolve matters is by bloodshed.".

I was on cymbalta (sp?) for a while to treat nerve pain which apparently it's used for quite often. It worked great for a about a week then it seemed to build up in my body and and it was just like I had been startled all the time. I started to even walk around with the myshoulders lifted a...

I have a similar add on for firefox that sets the default resolution plus some other stuff.

I can do both. I really don't mind slow people on 2 lanes road (I travel a lot in rural areas) it's the fucker who slows down to drive behind the first slow person and never pass that rustle my jimmies. Fucking pass so I don't have to pass 2 cars at once on a curvy ass 2 lane road.

The nurologist I saw yesterday called and talked to my mom today (her number was on the paperwork for whatever reason and I had to move in with them for a while when it was the worst. Anyway he talked to her for a few minutes. He called me at home tonight. I was shocked. He said he called the...

Feel like it. I called the office of the Dr. what flatly said I will never walk again and that it would never be any better than that day and it was BAD that day. I can walk now, almost zero symptons left and am working full time while driving 1-1/2 hours to work each way. The nurse said "I'm...

I'm torn between really happy and wanting to get 100% strength back in my left leg so I can go shove my foot up the Dr.s ass who came in and gave me a 2 minute conversation of "Congrats, you have major brain damage, it's MS, and you will never be better than today" That literally was the entire...

Doctors who miss OBVIOUS signs of one problem and give you a diagnosis of something life alterning. If you remember from this thread about a month ago I was diagnosed as having major brain damage, multiple sclerosis, and the Dr. told me I would never be any better than I was that day. That...

The only thing wrong with the old way was kids who didn't want to pay attention or a couple of generations who saw no value of learning while actually in school. If you can't read/write and do simple addition by the time you graduate you either have a severe learning disability or just don't...

How do you explain kids with a high school degree (I personally do not have one) that can't make change at McDonalds if the machine doesn't tell them? I know everyone but 1 person in that pic I posted. Everyone was just as poor as my dad who were failed cotton farmers during the depression...

We put man on the moon with engineers who were mostly educated using nothing more than a textbook and a blackboard. Now we use computers and all the new teaching methods and we can't graduate kids that can make change at McDonalds. My dad is in this pic, it's a series of famous depression era...

When I do pressure vessel/tank code calculations you still have to show your work by hand for whoever does the API/ASME stamp. I wonder what they are going to do when all this stuff works thru the system.

Good, they can shut the fuck up about UT now.

There are 100+ chemical plants and refineries in the 90 river miles of the MS river between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Some of them the largest in the country. So the answer yes.

Yeah I turned down a job as project manager because the project was currently in the hole over $500 million. That was a couple of years ago and they still call every few months with a new job offer with another title. They are on the 3rd general contractor and currently $500-$600 million in the...

I did, twice. I was working for myself and sending in resumes to jobs that sounded interesting. One was a contract to hire and the called me about 6 months later with a job offer and I turned them down on the basis I wasn't interested after I learned more about it and was doing contract work for...

I have nothing really to add. We have to take courses via computer at work and keep them current. I always wondered if it would do any good. Award winning photo..and he lived.

Exclusive: US team to be given green light to jump on the F1 bandwagon by next year - Motor Racing - Sport - The Independent Gene Haas will be bankrupt before they get on the track in my opinion.

Johnny Manziel to file for new trademark - ESPN

4 months in Iraq in 2011, were we winding down by then I can't remember? Did they give his MOS?

Mm

Story reminds me of a kid who tells a long drawn out story and leaves out several key points and then at the end says "umm but XXX and YYY and oh yeah ZZZZ" while stammering about to make it all work out.

Lots of people make a water bar to divert the water. Basically a speed bump at an angle to make the water flow off to one side coming down the slope.

Only saw the last few minutes, what happened to Barney?

The old folks here might get a laugh out of this.

Also if you unionize and declare yourself a professional what keeps the NCAA from saying you are now ineligible to play because of it even tho you are unionized.

Ruling only applies to private schools that have a profitable program. I'm sure they can shuffle the money around with a backer program that pays for facilities to become unprofitable.

Sorry. I took typing because it was required at the engineering magnet school I went to back with real typewrtiers. I really got my money out of it over the last 25+ years.

It takes a long time to type actually. It's amazing how hard it is to type correctly when you can't feel the little bump on the J key with your finger. Probably the last 2-3 weeks I have really going over all my post and emails to make sure I didn't booboo. Thanks for the kind words. I...

Diagnosed with massive brain damage today either due to many strokes or MS (spinal tap Tuesday to find out). In just a few weeks lost feeling of hot/cold in over 1/2 my body, the use of one hand, the ability to walk without a cane and even then it's questionable, and the ability to think...

The same education that millions of young people go into debt for, sometimes hundreds of thousands dollars worth of debt.

Just don't care for most of the AL teams. Grew up watching the Astros play all NL teams as rivals etc...before 24 hour sports stations.

LSU Football and LSU baseball (yes college baseball) Used to be an Astros fan but now that they are in the AL I will likely never watch or attend another game.

You said rape twice.

The only thing the lady at the bank asked me about on my first loan was why my deposists of a weekly paycheck only appeared every 4-6 weeks. I never thought they would ask about how often you deposit your checks but they did.

Depends on your market. I am renting a home now for 3-4 months to be closer to work during our busy season when I might have to work 7 days a week at 14 hours a day and don't want to commute. For the rent I pay to live in a nice area you could buy a house that would be in the top 10% of homes...

I didn't go to any and they are having the 25 year this year. Since high school ended I haven't talked to anyone I went to school with or kept up with any of them either. I ony know one of them is still alive because his brother works with me. I just never saw the appeal of reunions. I...

I gotta run to the store. I put the chains on my truck and tried to make it out of the office parking lot. Forget about it. Warming up the cherry picker now. It will likely do OK because it has a super low gear and outriggers I can put down. We'll see. I saw a guy at the shop next to us dirve...
