  1. Don’t those style shingles last a hundred years or something ridiculous?
  2. Most of our kids don’t know such a time even existed.
  3. Yep, that’s what I was thinking of!
  4. Going to hijack a little. At work we went from iPhone 10 to 13 as the 10s have needed to be replaced. I was the 2nd or 3rd to get one. All 3 of us have almost no speed when off WiFi. Something like 0.1 down 0.1 up. 5g or lte. Doesn’t matter what part of houston. We have ATT. All the iPhone 10s still work fine. IT guy hasn’t figured it out. Any recommendations?
  5. Never really expected to read a comment about silsbee, let alone one recommending a restaurant. Grandpa had a log cabin in silsbee on a hundred or so acres right next in his brother. My parents and i lived there for a year or 2 when I was 4-5. Lots of exploring,hunting, fishing, swimming and boating. Both were sold when they died. Miss doing that. What was the all you can eat bbq crab place? Loved that growing up. We were related to the owner in some distant way (which could probably be said if about 90% of the population).
  6. We’re looking at stopping in Nashville on our way to see family in June. We’d have all day on Sunday and time Monday before we left at noon. Wife and kids like music stuff. We also like outdoors stuff. I’m agreeable to anything. Any recs and must dos?
  7. I know this one at least initially is supposed to be insulated a little from the main MCU, but there were posters up for the post blip relocation / rehome for all the dusted people that came back. But the Ethan character didn’t mention the snap with the holocaust. Is he team Thanos was (half) right?
  8. Lol. I’m a nerd (Obi Wan) and engineer, not a lady doctor.
  9. Sort of an interesting related occurrence - I’ve had 3 operator candidates from companies making hand sanitizer over the last week that are seeing layoffs or reduced hours and wages. Combination of high input costs and cratering demand.
  10. A lot of the 2-3 year hourly staff has. Some have almost doubled their pay rate. Myself, I like what I do and have worked myself in to a decently high position and salary for my age. I’ve looked around casually and would have to take a pay cut in most cases. Or move to Crosby.
  11. I’d love to only get a 6% raise. My company, after not giving a raise since 2019, will be giving an average of 3.25-3.5%. I will say at least we bumped the starting hourly rate because it has been hell competing for skilled mechanical labor when Buccees pays more. We also got a notice from different chemical suppliers of another 10-20% price increase starting in May on 3 of our chemicals (2 of which are our main ones that make up the bulk of our expenses).
  12. I’m a marvel nerd and didn’t know anything either. I like issac, thought it was humorous in spots, and it was actually more suspenseful than I expected. Overall enjoyed it.

    Getting old sucks

    Does anyone know if you can take predisolone long term? I’ve been having a lot of pain from right shoulder blade to left from January. Dr have a me a 5 day prescription (6 pills day one, the. 5, 4, ext). Felt great 6 hours after first dose. Mild pain started doing back a day after stopping. It’s been 2 weeks and it’s got owrse
  14. Is that scaffolding? Haven’t seen that setup before if so. It would be mildly terrifying being the person cutting that beam out.
  15. Well it had to do with (stopping) penetration, so I thought you might have some relatable knowledge
  16. @Steel Shank or @ROFL BOX or any of the others here that might know what they are taking about: any thoughts?
  17. Will smith ain’t gotta cuss to sell records, but I do
  18. Anyone ever gotten attacked for all the Micheal J Fox shaking jokes?
  19. You have pictures of the damaged area? It sounds like a small area. If you have left over floor it might be pretty easy to do.
  20. New account bumping an old thread. Who's sock is this?
  21. Just wait for those car deals guys!! Reading the March 2020 and on posts is amazing. We had no idea.
  22. We’re getting another 10% on our big 3 raw materials in April. I had to pull the usage and cost data last week, and we are now at or over double on chemicals since January of 2021
  23. @closetohumping this thread started strong but has been a bit of a letdown. You running a sub 40 second yet?
  24. This isn’t survival related exactly, but i love those screwdrivers that have the shaft that pulls out so that you have 8 different size screw drivers, and the empty socket drives 3/8 or 1/4 I believe. I keep one in every car and a few around the house and tool bag. Very convenient way to organize the screwdriver bits.
  25. Well hold on before you give up on buying the property. I agree it would be awesome to have your own chunk of land. On mobile homes, you can get decent enough ones at a low price and not worry about resale. You mentioned comfortable and reliable. Maybe go in to some more details of what you need. And what do you want that you couldn’t have with an RV? Since it sounds like something you might build on eventually, what about an RV plus a small warehouse (think you can get 20x30 for $10k). So if you wanted a washing machine and dryer you could have it in there plus whatever else you don’t want to drag back and forth. Again, if this a forever place, you could add a nice outdoor covered deck and kitchen that you eventually build next too. Lots of possibilities. Don’t give up yet.
