I don’t see what’s different about it.
Will your kid be celibate? Is there any chance they will have sex for the first time before discussing their plans with you? Is helping prevent cancer in others a positive thing in your view?
You're not my mom!

For?
Against?On the fence?
Our kids are 11 (boy) & 13 (girl). My wife is probably 60% against, I'm probably 55% for.Talk me into or out of this vaccination. We are a pro vaccine family & don't believe the nonsense about autism, etc. being vax related.
This HPV business is an entirely different idea.
What say thee, Surly Shaggers?

Pretty much everything noted in this thread is occurring to me:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=94748Calc crashed 6-7 times and displayed the following error message - "OpenOffice 4.1.5 - Fatal Error ! Bad Allocation"
Any thoughts to correct this situation?It happens to me repeatedly & while it's resolvable by simply remembering to do a "save" every 4 or 5 moves so that I don't permanently lose work & have to recreate it, this is an aggravation. That thread is from 2015 & "Dave" was operating on Windows 7 or some such; my version is Win10 Pro, Version 1803. My DeLL Latitude is around 1.5 years old & I don't think that listed thread from Open Office is current to my issues.
Thoughts? Ideas? Specifics as to why this isn't Bob Stoops fault?

Then come to east texas and build one.
Yes I know I could build one cheaper. Both of us in the purchase know this as well. But our time during the week is more important. Your point is invalid. I want to know from people in the know if there is haggle room like at a car dealership or if this is like buying from best buy. Nothing more.No, no, no... I don't mean "if I came over to a neighbor's & brought my personal efforts, compressor & speed square while they provided the parts", I meant "me & my crew".
The problem is East Texas vs. Central Texas.
& What's their asking price? -
I guarantee you we could build you one for less than what they are charging & provide better customization & a better (stronger) design.
As for haggle room on their price, what's the price listed?

@deadshank can probably attest to this; I have yet to see an aftermarket tankless installation (related to what @kevwun said) where the plumber didn't totally fuck up the roof.

Started this thread a week ago & the site Borked out on me. Finishing it up now.
Got back around 1530 a week ago today from an excursion to Camp Eagle out W of Rocksprings. 1,400 acres & we had a grand time.
19 Scouts, 5 of them were 1st Class & above, 4 Webelos & 10 within 6 months of crossing over. Arrived around 1030 Friday night, heavy downpour. We managed to get started right as the rain settled out & used my Milwaukee M18 Rocket Tower Light so everyone was able to get set up with a decent amount of visibility. Everything was extremely muddy & it's always fun getting your tent going right on top of an ant hill you can't see (not me, but 2 other Scouts had this calamity).
Swimming, has a "blob" (I didn't take this pic; it was on the web but is the same as what they have @ this facility)
also has a water slide. Water was quite cold, but not Barton Springs /Blue Hole cold. The rain certainly didn't help the temperatures. Also has a water slide made of the same kind of material as the blob, but it didn't have a steep enough angle & people kept getting stuck even though it was hosed down.
They also have this insane "mine" area & it's where they dug out Caliche to make roads for the facility. The mine area is where the kids did their Nerf battle & inside it, there's a ropes course & the Scouts had a great time with that as well.
It was raining quite heavily & around 2230 when we got there; the last 30 minutes is a ragged Caliche road that's around 10 miles long. Slow driving, lots of potholes. By the time we got our paperwork handed in, the rain was a drizzle... a headache, but not as bad as it could be. I had brought my Milwaukee M18 Rocket Tower light & with 3,000 lumens, everyone was able to get tents set up without as much hassle if using a flashlight in your teeth or a headlamp.
The Scouts did some orienteering intros & got versed in taking a bearing & following that; the terrain made it quite difficult to zig & zag & then catch up to your exact original point to point line. If the kids in our group of 5 were older, we might have been able to do leapfrogging but only 5 Scouts were over the age of 15. The breakdown of the other 13 were 4 Webelos (2 AOL, 2 Webelos 1's) & 9 were within 6 months of crossing over from Webelos & of that 9, 4 hadn't ever been in Scouts before. BTW, of these 4 with zero experience, I see great promise in 2 of them - I'm anticipating an Eagle from those 2 as they are very interested in the program & already have 2 merit badges each.
Back to the orienteering... that has me interested in a high end compass & I kinda like this spiffy model right here:The rain made things muddy, but dry air came in on Saturday (again, 1 week ago) & it wasn't too bad packing up Sunday AM. I did open up & hang out the tents & sleeping bags, they got a full 6 days of air time. Surprisingly, I was able to pack both tents up without much hassle (had a friend assist) & everything went back into their proper bags fairly easy. The tent I used is a Kelty Camp Cabin 4; great space for only me, however I didn't bring a chair in my rush to pack (again, car camping), so I missed out on having an easier time dressing / changing, etc. It's got a front height of 6'2", so plenty of room to stand & it was fairly easy to get going as a one man operation. Due to the tapered height, no gear loft but there are pockets in the front upper corners to place a flashlight.
They had showers fairly close by & I was able to get a hot one for Saturday night - that felt good after being soaked Friday night & having to air out my canvas Scout pants all day Saturday.
Moving on, we should have some organized Packs now & if you've got a new Scout, what's going on with your Cubs?

I'm always looking for someone who is interested in learning the roofing & general home repair business.
I've had some Shaggers send their kids & other people they know, but this work isn't for everyone. Outdoors activity all day long, must be confident on ladders & recognize that the work is somewhat irregular.
I'm based in Dripping Springs but we work where the jobs take us; 90% are South Austin out to Drip, however we'll take on local jobs up to a 2 hour drive from here if the project is right.

Paid the final amount for Woodbadge. In the event Arlington comes up, I'm told a full refund can happen (probably minus the CC transaction fee(s) ) because there are around 10 people waitlisted - filling the slot won't be a problem.

Like many of you, I was astounded when the doc said I had the 'Beetus. I'm not skinny, but I'm far from fat. Probably 10 to 15 or so lbs. from what might be considered skinny & I have a moderate amount of muscle tone. I always had a mental picture of the fat, overweight, smoking types as the ones who had the Beetus & certainly not folks like me.
Anyway.
My sugars are a problem & I was "on a program" from an MD for around 1, 1.5 years. That & some sort of statin. Family Hx. My relatives hate me, apparently.
I'm in Drip & I guess instead of going to a general MD (this guy is a D.O.), maybe I should go to an Endo instead?
Also, I've seen a commercial for a "new" glucose monitor that doesn't actually require a finger stick; I'm interested & intrigued by your modern medicine & would like to know more about how it can help a simple unfrozen caveman roofing contractor like me.
Talk to me about your Beetus experiences & maybe where I should be going in the SW Austin / Drip area. I'll cross reference any doc names with our insurance to see where I can go.
I promised my kids I'd do better & have found myself trying to live up to that... & then I see a bottle of Coca~Cola with that buttery smooth sweetness gliding up through a straw.Help me, Obi-Wan Surl-nobi... you're my only help.

Webelos Woods for 2018 has been officially announced; the same weekend as my wife's high school reunion (Friday night social, Saturday night dinner / dance).
Guess Monster is going solo this year.
Going with the video game theme this go.

Mom told me 2 days ago that she "has been saving up for probably 1/2 a year & finally paid off a $ 675 traffic ticket, so you should be happy about that."
Never mind that around 1 week earlier I gave her $ 500.00 ca$h.
& For the life of me, I cannot figure out how a single woman* in her mid 70's can accumulate so much recyclable material. I have a family of 4 & she fills up her recycling toter in 1/2 the time it takes us (well, it's actually me doing the hauling to the street). -
Oh, & total price, shipped, tax & all, $ 150.++ for both items.

Yeah, we have a Scout Dad who likes to do the Quartermaster gig & we're responsible for our own plates, etc. I ordered this one:
& Found what I think is a killer deal on a Kelty Camp Cabin 4 person / 3 season.
Has a front "bump" peak height of 77" (6' 5" for the maths challenged) & with a 4 person, I could probably fit a chair inside for changing clothes / sitting up comfortably, etc. All car camping, so not too worried on weight, etc. & I'll be using it for Woodbadge in 1 month.
I'll probably use a simple tarp for a footprint; get a quality silver one. Floor dimensions are 96" x 105".

Also, I'm still scheduled for Woodbadge in 1 month & went to the orientation meeting last weekend. I'm thinking that with 1 month's notice, Arlington National won't happen over the Woodbadge weekend.

Today I went to the elementary school that the Pack draws from for the "official in school" Join Scouting Night & put stickers on all the kids (ALL... even the girls).
Went to Round Table tonight & picked up my 2nd knot; this one for the Scouter's Training Award.
I wasn't able to assist the Pack with JSN, but I think the sticker activity helped - my 3rd time doing this & of course Monster is a Boy Scout now.

No names mentioned, but there's a Shagger whose wife is driving me absolutely insane re: gutters - can't make up her mind on colors, half round vs. K, mix of half round here... K there... LeaFree all over, no let's trim the cost & only do LeaFree in these areas, not those areas... oh, wait, I don't like how they look from the street, so can you get me different colors?
Now I don't want the LeaFree at all, oh... we are crazy with Oaks, so I guess I we do need them but what about this & then maybe different downspouts (round vs. 2"x3").
I'm on my 5th sketch & 4th estimate & want to add $ 50 to $ 75 for every revision sent out.
PS: If you show this to her, I'll add $ 1,000.00 to your contract (& still be lower than the estimate you received from those other companies).
