  1. Fuck no. I remember seeing part of an episode when I was a kid, I couldn't believe people watched that low budget looking shit.

    Yeah, I have had 2 bad discs for over 25 years. It just got the jump on me today, dirty bastards.
  3. I always liked the idea that Bond wasn't a real guy, but a job title. You would have a Bond retire or die and someone would get promoted. Skyfall fucked that all up. It's a mess. Haven't watched the last few.
  4. As an OSU fan who lives in the OKC burbs, I'm not driving all the way to Stilly on a weeknight to watch the shit they've been running out there for years. I wouldn't even make it in time for tip off, anyway. But to make it even, I quit watching on TV, too.

    Getting old sucks

    I stood up from my desk and my back gave out. Had a shooting pain that went all the way down into my ass cheek. I cried out like a bitch, luckily no one heard me. I staggered to where I needed to go without too much trouble. 20 mins later, had to get up again. I got up with no problems. WTF?
  6. David Boren, former Oklahoma governor, US senator, OU president, dies at 83
  7. Got diagnosed with shingles one week ago. I just finished all of the medication, and the sores are doing well. However, I am in such pain. My skin is so sensitive, the nerves are all fucked up. I've read everything I can find, things seem normal, I guess. But I'm so tired of this. My stomach isn't great most times but now it feels all fucked up. I don't know if its from the meds or the shingles or something else. I stopped taking my omeprezole when I started the shingles meds, just because I wasn't sure how they'd interact. Maybe that's why my gut is fucked up? I hope that's all it is. Then to top things off, my cologuard test results came back and I need to have the colonoscopy anyway. I'm just not in a good place. My wife is my rock and is doing her best but I know I am difficult in these situations. I've caught myself having mini breakdowns all day. I'm supposed to go to work tomorrow and I don't know if I can do it, physically. I want off this fucking ride.
  8. That's a lie, they have to talk to eastern Euros. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to order food in any restaurants.
  9. Every time I go to London, I break out the fanny pack. Sunglasses, readers, mints, dude wipes, wallet. I'm ready for anything. No one bats an eye, it's so commonplace over there. Now, as a giant-sized man, no one here in the US would say anything to my face but I'd just feel weird using one here. I see them more and more, maybe one day I'll get over it.
  10. A long time ago, I read a comment online somewhere that stated she had a huge ass. As a fan of huge asses, I went hunting for a picture and it seems that there are none available online. I feel like Ahab, always searching for that white whale, no pun intended. EDIT: I went fishing and found some proof. I guess it's true.
  11. Overall yes, it averages out. It gives more money for replacing the dwelling but less for contents. Same 2% wind and hail deductable.
  12. I made the switch from Mercury to Geico. House went from $4900/yr to $3100/yr. Cars (3 but one is a project that I rarely drive) went from $2800/yr to $1900/yr. I know it won't last forever but I'll enjoy the price drop while it lasts.

    Woke up Saturday and after getting dressed, I felt like I had a burr in my shirt or something. Nothing there but the skin under my arm felt irritated. Fast forward to today, Yeah, I have shingles. Fuck. To add insult to injury, I got a weird call today, supposedly from my credit union, that my card had been compromised. Something felt off, so I hung up and called my CU and they said nothing was up on their end and that they didn't call me. Now I have to go get a new debit card. FUCK.
  14. Early in our marriage, my wife gently chided me about how I wasn't very good at loading the dishwasher and that she could do it better. I said I would just leave that task to her from now on. I do the laundry, she does the dishes. Works for me.
  15. When did "LET'S GO!" become the de-facto thing to yell out when you get excited? Who made this decision? What happened to "WHOO HOO" and "ALL RIGHT!" or even "YEAH!!"?

    Grandkids

    My granddaughter turns 1 next month, my grandson turns 2 in April. I thought I was done buying diapers but every time I go to Sams, there's a case of them in my cart. I guess that's what I get for asking my kids if they need anything from the store.
  17. I rarely watch games anymore so I'm out of the loop on this, but what happened to KT? Was is just the aftermath of that achilles injury?
  18. Saturday I was able to get up and around and even run a couple of errands. Today, I feel good, other than some lingering congestion. Headed back to work tomorrow.
  19. I'm 6'6 and over 50, and I'm fucking clinging to 295 for dear life, don't want to break 300. I'd kill to see 260 again.
  20. Several schools in my area went to virtual only for part of the week. Too many sick teachers and bus drivers and not enough coverage.
  21. My wife and I have been down sick since Sunday evening. Got one of those home tests for flu and covid, turns out we both have flu type A. Fuck this sucks.
  22. I was venting to my sister about this shit and she said she had Geico and was pleased with it. I ran an estimate on their site and it was MUCH lower for both home and auto. I had called my broker on tuesday to bitch about this and was told they "have had a lot of calls like this" and that he'd look into it and I'd get a call within a couple of days. I still haven't heard from him, but I'll give him another day before I cut him loose.
  23. Just got my homeowner's renewal in the mail, the rate went up $1200/YR WTF. No claims in over 10 years and none with this company. I refuse to pay $4900 a year for this shit. And double fuck you to whomever thought up the idea of a "wind/hail percentage" deductable.
  24. I keep seeing these stories online: "Mygrandparent died and I got more/less money than my relative and now there's hard feelings". I don't get it. If I go first, my wife gets everything and will have to decide what to do with it. My kids (her stepkids for over 15 years now) have a great relationship with her and I'm not worried about that, but my grandkids? They'll get whatever is left after my wife, and then their parents, get what they want. I've never received anything after the death of a grandparent and I couldn't care less. My buddy had a roller coaster of a time: his folks divorced when he was in grade school, dad remarries. 30 some odd years later, dad is in poor health. Friend's relationship with his step-mom is not great, she straight up tells him that when his dad dies, he can go pound sand and he's not getting shit. She and her kids will get everything. Plot twist: a few months later, step-mom drops dead. His dad died about a year or so later. My friend got everything; the family land, the house, the massive gun collection, the cars. Step-sibs got jack shit.
