  1. I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain
  2. Does your friend believe "the price is the price," or does he have non-vestigial haggle muscles?
  3. Common link is Louisiana under Huey P. Long.
  4. That's a subject for an entire thread. I'd say it's about as likely as a buggy whip revival, but I suspect somebody is making money right now selling buggy whips.
  5. Gotta share this Duolingo gem: Cha robh mi a cèilidh air do mhàthair a raoir. ~Kha row mee a kayly eth doe vah-heth a "writhe" "I was not visiting your mother last night."
  6. Pics of leg not showing up.
  7. My 2025 goals are to take what I made at art shows the past couple of years (sufficient to pay bills, and not much more) and triple the gross. Primarily through better organization, offering new prints, going to bigger and better shows, and working faster and more efficiently, like I did during the Pandemic. Since good shows cost more, as do other road warrior costs, maybe a reasonable goal is to double net profit. I am packing the calendar with multi-day events with high attendance. No more little local craft shows where a couple hundred bucks are a good day. Stretching out to neighboring states. Main concern is how to stay healthy. It's a beat-down if you're not in good shape. More planning, making new habits.
  8. Yep. During my Stage 4 "talk" Doc told me how she plans drug treatments, tldr it's entirely possible to live a very long happy life if A, B, and C, just like your odds if you didn't have cancer. My Mom commented a few years ago that my odds of long life may actually be better WITH cancer because I wasn't being careful at all before. But I mean, it's all the blink of an eye when said and done. You just dwell on the good days, and enjoy them. Who the hell wants to hang around for 200 years anyway.
  9. Trick question. There are no volcanoes in Hawaii.
  10. That line on the map was genius.
  11. The drug is gonna work.
  12. Great, and yes. Just not there. All we did was mill around, which is acceptable behavior. When a different plane of our unit landed, one officer, in Autopilot Moron Mode, called everybody into formation so he could bray acronyms at them. Turns out there's an old treaty in the Azores part of Hawaii where if you "form troops for battle" you get arrested. I was told he got a golf cart ride.
  13. You could coach up good people at the new place too, and not find out the hard way how small the world is. Also, maybe some of your old team make it over on their own, in a way where you don't burn bridges.
  14. I was in Hawaii just once for a couple of hours, long enough for a plane to refuel. Turns out the local name is not "Hawaii" but "The Azores." Didn't look like it does in the movies but it was OK.
  15. But he had CONTROL!
  16. Looks like the redawning of the Three Mikes era. But then again, never count out Alabama's ability to find a new way to cheat. Just because you wouldn't think of it, doesn't mean they won't.
  17. Give her an attagirl from this hive of scum and villainy. That must have been one hell of an exhale.
  18. He still got to be a Beatle. More than Yoko can say.
  19. Huhuuu... Welcome to my working life in the mid-80s. Get everything done by lunch, ask for more assignments, they'd give me dick to do, so I'd do my own freelance work at my desk, or hammer an exacto blade into the window sill so I could record its shadow as a sun dial, "research" graphics on Brøderbund games, turn up the Bangles cassette tape on my headphones.
  20. Just curious, how do you like that van, and would you get one again? Nosing around to get something similar this year.
  21. First new Gaelic class today, out of Aberdeen. Bigger class, 10 students. Approach is more readings based with some conversation. I am able to hang. For readings I am alternating between "clear as day" and "string of gibberish" so I am probably at right level. Dog started barking psychotically at squirrel before I could get to the mute button. But class seems to like dogs. 14 more classes, one a week. Kinda cool kinda cool. My head is tired.
  22. It's almost... ALMOST... as if Tuberville were using those players to make money for himself.
  23. Yep. Working in my early 20s in a print shop, we would speed up the cleaning by wrapping rags around our hands and just splashing around with those -enes. tick tock
