    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I have terrible teeth. Comes from having low blood sugar at 2am or whatever in deep sleep time and getting up and drinking/eating something sweet and going back to bed and not brushing my teeth till the next morning. I'd had some "odd" dentist thru the years. My first dentist went to the state...

    Weather

    Just had a tornado or straight line winds cut thru one corner of my parents property. We were under a tornado alert for one 5 miles northeast of them. Several trees down and one snapped off about midway up, a 24" pine tree. Luckly it's all nothing but trees there.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    I got a speeding ticket for 72mph in a 55mph on a brand new interstate that had NOTHING on it at all. For 200 miles it was just an interstate and an exit every 40 miles. I was 16 (could get license then at 15) and went to court. Judge looked at the description of where it was, said "I went there...

    April Fools!

    I thought the upside down text was more April fools. As someone earlier said they thought something was wrong with their computer. Oddly enough I didn't notice because my brain doesn't function correctly. My girlfriend was sitting with me when she asked "Why is that upside down". Years of...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Mention the 55mph national speed limit to someone (in the US) and they look at you like you have a 3rd head, especially considering they're in a state now that has state wide 75mph maximum on the I-state and in places 85mph. Yeah I'm old I can remember those days. Old enough to remember cars...

    The House Plants Thread

    It's not a box or anything. Live in a rural area and the black berries are just the edge of the woods. I did move a muscadine vine to a trellis on one side of the house. I could walk 50 yards and have enough muscadines to can a couple dozen jars of jelly. I used to cruise timber in college from...

    The House Plants Thread

    Not house plants, but spring is full on here. Went out and picked a cup full of blackberries this afternoon. Muscadines are already putting out. Trying to decide if I have the energy to do anything with the blackberries other than eat them. I normally make muscadine jelly or have my grandmother...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Haven't played since FoH had a groups on test server when you could play on test for free. This was back in the House of Thule era I think. I moved my only character to FV for whatever reason and stopped playing shortly after. No idea most of the stuff you guys are referencing like heroic...

    What do you do?

    It's not what you know, it's who you know. At least that's the old saying. As much as my dad pisses me off some days it pays off. Shop I work with from time to time called and asked about a 60 ft. screw conveyor at a plant and wanted to know if I had ever been in it. They have to do some rework...

    Health Problems

    I've heard it all now. No name for it but I apparently I have the opposite of AIDS. My immune system is in major overdrive and I have symptoms of tons of autoimmune related diseases. Been on interferon but it doesn't seem to help. Lots of theories. They send my results weekly to a team at the...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Sure I'veSure posted this before. But it's sorta uplifting to me in an odd sort of a way. Pretty much me to a T. Listening to it a lot more often lately. The soon to be husband of one of my nieces works for him oddly enough.

    It's official. According to the AISC I'm a black mark on the modern steel fabrication industry. I think I'll frame it and have it hung in my office if I ever get back to work. Was asked to contribute to a paper/pamphlet geared toward helping engineers, project managers, project coordinators...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The reason many office workers here get tested is "partnership" which is what most shops want to be partnered with their end client. Just like we were a partner to Exxon, they require all their suppliers/shops to be tested and such but it comes with a huge bonus. We got direct tie into their...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Different in the world I work in. You get a pre hire drug test. At a minimum it's a piss and hair test. Depending on the job and where you will be working some will also draw blood. They also do a breathalyzer which I have never understood. But they do a random breathalyzer after lunch on some...

    Camping/Backpacking

    I used to backpack and camp quite a lot. Last real backpacking trip was the Teton crest trail of about 45 miles over several days. A lot of my equipment is geared more towards hunting as well so not really the ultra light gram weenie stuff. I normally save weight just in the convenience type...

    The Best and Worst States in the Union: Many Metrics

    In the south a lot of whites do not go to public school. Either private or private/catholic school which skews the results of public education. In Baton Rouge the catholic schools are semi public, they get to ride public school buses but they attend a private school paid for by them and get to...

    Most Hated Man in America

    I think the prescription has to state if generic is OK. I know I had to get another prescription written recently because it didn't specifically state generic OK. Same exact medicine, but the non generic has a patent to inject it 3 days a week as opposed to the generic of 7 days a week.

    Most Hated Man in America

    Had a deal in the news a while back about the price of an epipen and a lady couldn't afford it for her kids and the story showed up over a week several times. Little while later they ran a story that the price of the generic pen was a fraction for the same thing, but doctors were too lazy to...
