  1. My first girlfriend got interested in me because her friends hated me. (She should have listened to her friends.) Point being, it doesn't matter what women say to warn each other. Prison record? Dudes IN prison have pen pals counting off the days. The worse crime the better. Also, I notice that drivers license map includes zero women in Mexico. A single dude who hasn't breezed through Mexico isn't even trying.
  2. Jumped around 12 seconds of the video, took a drag on a Gauloise and with hooded eyes, said: "And so 'ow is zis settlement by nature any different from ze rest of ze américain suburbs?"
  3. Had a kidney doctor appointment, all numbers good now, a couple of them had been kinda bad before but no longer are. No idea how the tumors are doing at the moment. Oxygen levels still up around 97% Blood pressure freakishly low, like 88 over 50. I was walking around to do some errands afterwards, felt kinda like a moon walk.
  4. This is the Real Shit.
  5. Damn. I need to start thrashin around in the MRI next time, get some free shit.
  6. S'what I'm sayin. Stab me in the back once, shame on you. Do it twice, shame on me. They're Trumpkins. Point out which way Trump went.
  7. If you're a Capitol cop, do you fight them this time, or just wave them in? I know what I'd do.
  8. I've got a cup like that from when I got my tumor and my tumor's kidney clipped out. My wife claimed it because the sight of it depresses me. It's from Princeton, an hospital on the west side of Birmingham between an avenue known for murder/robberies-gone-wrong, and a McDonalds where randos will emerge through the shrubbery and then it's Wild West. If you hold it up to your ear like a sea shell, you can hear gun shots.
  9. Had me a number 19 tshirt on while I was learning how to put some spin on a football from my Dad who played Wide Receiver with Bart Starr.* *In High School.
  10. I am going to spend the afternoon Seeing Around Corners, may Build Some People Functions if I have time left over.
  11. Planned Parenthood asked me to quit strumming and singing John Prine songs anywhere near camp fires.
  12. I have to admit they pretty much owned me with that photo.
  13. Extra credit for starting prayers with "just."
  14. Or ten years out, if you're my tough little Gramama.
  15. Mine is all fractional because I can always scratch up a small amount of savings, but psychologically never quite make it to an ounce. Not logical, but there it is. In my defense I got about half of it at or below melt by making deals with friends, or working the old eBay Bucks angle, which no longer exists.
  16. This is what the past 200 years show.
  17. It goes back to when there were bimetallic currencies, and governments would establish official rates for the value of silver vs gold. Under the Spanish Empire [I think] it was about 16 to one, and we (the US) inherited the basics of that system except we split our Peso-- the Dollar-- into hundredths instead of eighths & fractions of eighths. Not long after, I believe silver was allowed to float, and float it did-- or sank. The ratio rose on the market, gold was worth lots more than 16 to one. It keeps changing, recently went over 100 to 1, has since come down again. Why does it matter? It might not, but some feel there is a "proper" ratio that it will trend back to. I don't agree. What does happen, though, is that when the ratio gets much higher or lower than a perceived norm, people will exchange the "overvalued" metal for the lesser, and then vice-versa if it hits the other extreme. Every sale, of course, involves a transaction fee, so a perpetual motion machine, it's not. You could pick any two commodities and do this. But gold and silver are magic.
  18. Maybe don't do that next time.
  19. May sell all/most of my gold and silver to fix up a family home that I am part owner in. The other co-owners, being Normal Americans, have decent standards of living but very little reserves. Main thing is that a section of roof was ineptly repaired in the past and it shows. Can't imagine trying to sell it in that condition. The idea is that after an appraisal, any extra that I kick in will raise my ownership % in case of a sale. All things going well (they won't,) I'll turn a profit. But I'd really rather keep the house and milk grants available for Black Belt revival/Arts Education/Special Shit I Can't Imagine. Anyway, thanks to metal I won't have to run the card back up. As much.
  20. According to Don Jr, Roy Moore was the only Republican who could lose in Alabama. Roy's ritualistic Republican support cratered after reports of him creeping on adolescent girls. (I mean, he also campaigned like a MO-ron and overdid the churchie thing to the point of obvious scam.) But without the girl stuff, we'd have him now instead of Tuberville. It was the girls. Dammit, Roy.
  21. I hear he was trying to draw a camel, but he just sucks as an artist. Form square!
  22. Bannon. Should I bear up well during his testing, I would be accepted as a worthy servant to the Harkonnens.
  23. *tampoco, for Spanish. For Mexican Comic Book Gringo, you want Yo no querer doxing tambien. ^^^ We found our missing accomplice.
