    I'm a member of a country club and originally joined just for golf. If they will take me they will take anyone. Not really it's very rural they will take anyone that pays the fee and doesn't wear shorts while playing golf, there are always public courses.

    Run of the mill shit that happens when you live on property land locked in the national forest. Limbs fall on powerlines often. I'm close enough to the gulf that I get remnants of storms at times. The worst was a straight line wind event 30 years ago. About 70 miles in a straight line of...

    Any one have an experience or knowledge on selling an account. I figure it's time. I really didn't want to ask anyone in game obviously. I know I would likely make less selling to a site that brokers/trades the stuff but then it would be their issue, not mine. Sometime once all my stuff sells. I...

    I looked at the weather this morning and we were under a red flag, low humidity and high wind warning. I assume that meant later in the day because at the time the wind was about 5mph and the humidity around 40%. Edit- just looked at 5pm. Wind 11mph, humidity 29%. Talk about warnings for...

    I browse slick deals every so often for stuff just to get an idea on prices. Besides as mentioned looks like microcenter is the best normally. But even other places the best price on memory now is to buy an entire package combo, it's definetly the deal sweetner of coice. If I had a microcenter...

    I knew someone that shot themselves in the kidney with a shotgun. Pulled it out of the back seat while it was loaeded after a bird hunt.

    Oil and gas that have refineries are up around 20% year to date, which kind of goes against the grain of the price of oil being down.
