  1. I gotta be honest, I don't get the Wilco love. I'll also be honest and say that the first few tunes I heard didn't hook me and I never dove any deeper.
  2. My introduction to Son Volt was Cherokee Street Girl but I had a similar thought.
  3. It is the LOL thread.
  4. Lessee, $40 x 25 = $1000. With all of the hotdogs at $3 per pack and Oreos at $4.50 I don't see how he makes any money. Maybe he gets a farm subsidy. I hope he posts the skinnin day video.
  5. That "All I Wanna Do" song got played to death. I'm a little sick of her.
  6. I'm a slob. Nothing has to be ordered. You couldn't stress me with a broom and a bucket of shit.
  7. I was scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow at 8:00 AM. The clinic called on Saturday to tell me that the doctor was now in quarantine and I will be rescheduled for December 1. At 2:00 PM. Not optimal but whatchagonnado?
  8. Seems appropriate for Veterans Day.
  9. Dammit, Dude. I had forgotten about the insurance. The drills that my wife did were pretty basic stretches and walking with a walker or assistance. They had her do lots of workouts with elastic bands and light weights. After she came home she continued this on her own using soup cans for weights while walking up and down our rural road. Stairs were difficult for a long time because her balance had been affected so she did a lot of standing on one leg and trying to improve her balance. The PT facility didn't really use any sophisticated equipment for her therapy. I will bet that an internet search could yield some exercises to target your deficiencies. Somehow you need to get a program for things that you can do on your own and we will cheer you along. The other thing that she still does is word puzzles of all types. Crosswords, wordsearch, jumbles, you name it. We do jigsaw puzzles all winter to help with cognition. She tries to keep her brain challenged and I'm convinced that it really helps.
  10. My Mother had Alzheimer's and was very much aware that she was declining. She became unable to communicate and spent her last 10 years as a shell in a living facility. Nice term for a warehouse. She had good care, of course, but the quality of life was something that I will not go through if I have the awareness to stop it. I will not spend the thousands for this drug that will only extend life for a few months. A cure or nothing for me, please.
  11. I'm so glad to hear of your progress. My wife has a brain injury from a car wreck 30 years ago. She spent a couple weeks in a coma, had to re-learn to walk and get around by herself, was in physical therapy for 6 months. I saw firsthand how slow this can be to get those skills back. I also saw that if a person was determined to get after it and work hard they could overcome a lot of the damage that was done. If you didn't know her before the wreck you would never guess she had one . It sounds like you have that perseverance. I've been pulling for you. Keep up the good work.
  12. My daughter sent me a picture of this little guy from Lost Pines this morning.
  13. I would fly on a domestic airline Max. I would not fly a foreign carrier. It has much more to do with my distrust of the training and qualifications of foreign pilots than my distrust of Boeing. Edit to add that I have already flown on the Max twice prior to it being grounded.
  14. This is the best PF loud song.
  15. Sorry. I only know how many kilos will fit.
  16. Not so trivial, really, but John Deere forces users of their greens mowers with hydraulic reels to buy a $250 hyd motor rebuild kit in order to get a replacement seal for the output shaft. The seals are the only part of these motors that we have ever had fail. The parts guy won't even give us a PN for the seal. I just found a replacement from McMaster Carr for $7.50. Fuck JD Edit to add that our previous greenskeeper bought 10 rebuild kits just to get the seals. There is a reason that he is our previous greenskeeper.
  17. Stir in some Nestles Kwik for a real treat.
  18. TOOTBLAN!!
  19. DeAngelo Evans. Best I ever saw in person and I watched Barry Sanders play in HS. @mulletpelini can come along and tell you why he washed out of Nebraska and was never heard from again. A real headcase, furshur. http://www.ourdigitalmags.com/article/DEANGELO+EVANS,+COLLEGIATE/1847566/0/article.html
  20. I see the guy on the right choking the guy on the left while yelling obscenities at that guy in the background. What an asshole.
  21. Marshall prays at the alter of Bob Knight so the verbal abuse doesn't surprise me. I hope the physical and racial allegations aren't true but I'm sure there is some fire behind the smoke. There always is. Shit
  22. I didn't hit the buzzard but he barfed on my windshield as I passed under him. It would have smelled better if I had hit it.
  23. fuck
