  1. I have the same infatuation with Gina Chavez. Yeah, I know. Don't care.
  2. KayLeah, the office manager, gets most of these. I only cover phones while she's at lunch. I guarantee you that she is more pleasant than I am. She would have had Teresa wanting to buy the matching end tables.
  3. I'm listening. I suck at trolling, could use some help
  4. Our 888 number is one digit different than the number for Rooms To Go customer service. Teresa Rivera is tired of my shit and wants to talk with a Spanish speaker so she can properly tell me us about the shitty sofa she purchased. I have given her the correct number to call 4 times now but she has rage induced hearing loss.
  5. Thanks for the song, it really hits close to home. My folks had 60 years together but Mom didn't know any of us for the last 10. Dad hid her failing mind from us for as long as he could and took care of her at home for 10 years before she had to go to a home. His devotion to her was remarkable and a constant lesson for me and my kids. My situation is a lot like @bmbmd. Rheumatoid arthritis has stolen my wife's ability to use her hands for many things but we will make the most of it. We have 48 years and I hope with all my heart that I'm the one that goes first.
  6. Doc, will I be able to play the piano after you remove the bandages?
  7. In a couple more days the head-up display will come into focus. It's pretty cool.
  8. Just had the first dose of Moderna. I hate to give credit to our state/county but the process was pretty well run. They were set up in the activity center of our local college with 18-20 stations for giving shots. A dozen people were guiding traffic in and out of the parking lot, 10 people were checking people in. Got the shot and waited by the snack bar for 15 minutes, ate a couple of homemade cookies and came back home. No signs of side effects other than typical arm soreness at the injection site. There was a steady stream of people moving through so it won't take long to get everybody in our county (15K or so) that wants it. Hopefully the supply issues that Kansas has had are in the past. Get the vaccine, get normal. Edit to add that it was less than an hour from leaving the house to returning including a 12 mile drive each way.
  9. As long as the French Girls at Work channel is still up at Pornhub, I will be too.
  10. Office manager and I just had that discussion. I think we are going to offer a bonus and see how deep their belief really is.
  11. The County Health Office called a little bit ago to tell us that our business is considered essential and qualified to get the J&J shots for any employees that want them on Monday. Only half of our crew are signing up. Sad. Wife and I were already scheduled to get our first dose of Moderna on Thursday so we will go ahead with that.
  12. I had ACL repairs on both knees and lots of arthritis. I had a torn ligament again playing basketball with my kids at 52. I put up with it for a couple years until my right knee would slide out of place whenever I would cross my leg. That and handfuls of ibuprofen forced my hand. Surgeon asked which one I wanted to do first and I said both. I don't know how he sold it to Blue Cross but he did.
  13. Had both of mine replaced at the same time in 2005. I highly recommend it. Maybe not both at once but do it. I was playing golf 8 weeks after the surgery and was back to single digit handicap within a year. I walk 3-4 miles daily during warm weather and ride an excercise bike 5-6 miles during the winter. Do it. Edit to add that the only downside, if you want to call it that, is that I can't get on my hands and knees on a hard surface. That hurts like a motherfucker. I have learned to scoot around on my ass like a wormy dog if I need to do ground level work. At 70 I shouldn't be on my hands and knees anyway.
  14. Especially so if you are up early to start a road trip. Now you have to stop somewhere to shit or just go until you get to your destination and use the bathroom that you purchased. I'm not gonna shit in some roadside dump that the masses use. Fuck that shit.
  15. It seems like there have been a lot of long HRs hit during ST. Is MLB using up all of last years juiced balls during the spring? Some (all?) of these guys will be in for a shock once they run into a restricted flight ball during real games.
  16. It's a goddamned shame that Bielema,TFFR, already took the Illini job. Ku could have extended the legacy of head ball coaches weighing 4 bills.
  17. Is that pronounced with a long "e" or a silent "e"? It's important to me, Dammit
  18. Godspeed , you warty bastard.
  19. I thought I was 5 years younger than you but it appears it's a 6 year difference. I'm giddy.
  20. He won't be on the opening day roster and I'm sure the Royals will fuck up his development but here is a shot.
  21. The picture of the actual chip doesn't do justice to the overall greasiness. Better than a pork rind. The bag was given to me by a friend. I need to find out where to get them.
