  1. It's about fucking time .
  2. I never wore my wedding ring regularly. When I got married, the place I worked didn't allow any jewelry to be worn during work. Even after I left that job I didn't wear it. When My dad passed away, the nursing home couldn't find his band so I put mine on his hand and buried it with him.
  3. More like his younger brother, but yeah.
  4. An IHC M1 is one of the few guns I would spend money on*. I'm happy for you. * I have plenty of firearms and have been giving them away to younger family members.
  5. Talent show at the Cucumber Festival could fill a few minutes of airtime.
  6. RollLeft beat me to it , but the only course of action is to shoot that fucking rodent.
  7. A Kraft single, maybe.
  8. Office manager forwarded this to me. New Employee: Can I put my girlfriend on the health insurance? OM: I think you can, but have to sign a form stating you are considered common law married and if you ever want to remove her from coverage, you will have to file for divorce. New Employee: Well, she’s not divorced from her husband yet.
  9. Yessir. Lots of fun to be had before the weekend starts.
  10. Yeah, I'm on my way out past WaKeeney for opening day of Pheasant season. You have folks in Grainfield, right?
  11. I just destroyed the restroom at Menard's in Salina, KS Not really a thought but I couldn't find the humblebrag thread.
  12. If it's all I have around then, yes, I'm using Kraft singles. @Steel Shank would be saddened by your intolerance. Enough of this detour. Doesn't anybody have some Holiday hate and discontent to share?
  13. A pic was already posted. How many different ways can a piece of cheese be draped on a slice of pie? It's really good. What's not to like?
  14. I can guarantee you that some Ioweegians do this. You got Mennonites, don't you? I wouldn't force it on anybody but don't tell me I can't have cheese on my pie.
  15. I don't have a functioning relationship with your mother. Mind if I have a go at beating his ass?
  16. Well, tie me to a monkey! (HT @MAUFRAIS) I've been around a looong time and never once did it occur to me to put cheezits in my soup and such. I feel shame and sadness.
  17. Without going to the net I’ll guess Webley. British big bore military from WWI
  18. Not sure why you'd ruin a perfectly good fork, but you do you.
  19. You have to remember that most of us Big 8 types have been hating OU for decades. We always rooted for UT to beat OU. Old habits die hard.
  20. One of our bigger Amish customers rolls tin and trim for metal-clad post frame buildings that they sell to the "English". As part of the process they have learned and been certified to do electrical and plumbing. Nothing funnier than watching a 12 yr old drive a self-propelled DitchWitch trencher up onto a horse drawn cart to go to the next job. Hutterites are interesting colonies. They actually embrace the tech, have phones and computers and are adept at programming PLCs and the like. The North Dakota colony that we deal with has smart phones and internet. I share files with them regularly. Like you said, they are pretty good at figuring out work arounds for just about anything that a job throws at them. Our Amish folks, on the other hand, had to get clearance from the deacons to allow us to use magnets on a stacker.
  21. Really? Dumb Joc
  22. Our company makes manufacturing equipment for the Amish and Hutterites throughout the Midwest. It's really strange to see what the Deacons for one clan will approve while the next settlement over won't go that far. Almost all of them are OK with a standalone internal combustion engine that will spin a main shaft for all of their belt-driven equipment.
  23. I see it a lot like that lady in the wicker basket dodging all of the swords that the dude in the Ali Baba outfit starts poking at her.
  24. My mom had Alzheimers for more than 10 years before she passed. For the majority of those years she was unable to communicate with us in any way. After she passed, I was going through her stuff and found a Big Chief tablet that she had used daily for the first few months of her affliction. This was before any of us knew that she was struggling. She would print the date and then she would sign her name 10 times. Each page was worse and worse and then she just stopped. That was a gut punch. She knew she was fucked and never told any of us that she needed help.
