  1. My Key lime tree needs friends. What variety are your avocado and Mandarin trees? (I assume you need a couple avocado trees to pollinate.)
  2. My dad paid $100 to get it repainted blue. That paint job cost more than the car purchase. Which had something to do with the turd part.
  3. The only thing I can say about my 1965 Ford Falcon (manual choke, floor button you stepped on to dim the headlights), is that my high school buddies christened it, “The Blue Turd”
  4. When I bought my first Subaru Chrysler was making K cars (or rather, inflicting K cars) for the American public. Buying American in 1980 instead of Japanese was more of an intelligence test than a patriotism test.
  5. And we as a nation are very good at finger pointing.
  6. BTW, my ex brother-in-law is a guest of the state of Georgia, having received his latest DUI after several prior DUIs where his legitimate Iraq PTSD and military service cards were used to get them out of more serious penalties on his prior DUIs. it certainly sucks, but my brother-in-law is only not in jail for vehicular homicide because he was lucky enough to drive drunk many many times without that horrific consequence. Anyone who continues to drive while under the influence after being charged with DUI numerous previous times should be in jail. For how long, and how to cure the addiction is a different societal matter.
  7. Reason 3,458 that Surly is an awesome place Maybe our criminal law dogs could weigh in, but it would seem that him having tried the sober living and succeeded while trying living on his own and failing, that another sober group home would be doable. But perhaps he needs to put in some jail time before they let him attempt that again. Still, it is nice to know he has a place to go after the judge sentences him (if he is not inclined to give him a non-jail pass on this latest event). He could argue that he was not driving when he drank the alcohol that showed up on his hearing test, but a judge should never trust the word of an alcoholic about where and when and how much he drank.
  8. Really? you love your kids. This situation is the most fucked up thing you could imagine. if the family is not in counseling over this then maybe you should consider that.
  9. if only the Russians could get a handle on that successful anti-drone missile debris problem, they’d have it made.
  10. it would be nice to know what the consequences are for violating his sentencing rules. Are we talking about 30 days or something longer?
  11. To be fair, it would’ve been difficult to convey that figuratively. Try to find a restroom and avoid the Cinnabon.
  12. Dude. AI does that now. If we need to know something, it will let us know.
  13. The new Trump Federal Commission on elections and banning voting machines from Venezuela will make sure that doesn’t happen. Maybe.
  14. Posting on this site is like signing the Book of the Devil. No take-backsies
  15. As long as the Cult votes the way he says, no GOP elected official would knowingly get on his bad side. I hope I’m wrong. But I don’t think I am. The left that is currently numb is going to start resisting in every way possible, and nothing about this term is going to make the great political divide any less bitter and divisive. As long as his base says, “ if you disagree with orange man, I hate you!”, I do not see any spines growing in a GOP Congress.
  16. Dayum. it’s great to be a Florida gator. At least tonight it was. suck it gamecocks!
  17. Listen, Mister, we don’t want any trouble in here - in any age group’s language…
  18. In any event, this should not be a pay or no pay, but rather what they deem reasonable availability under the circumstances. The fact that lots of people are grifting and raising prices has to help you you weren’t required to move to another city because you had a fire related event in your house.
  19. I pulled out my cooler contraption with the reptile heater bulb that is somewhere over 100° like I did two years ago. (pics above) When it was 21° outside - it was was 37 where the cooler meets the brick - and I have to think it’s 5 to 10° warmer inside the cooler because I lined it with reflective thermal insulation. Anyway, for the recent sneaux days I did not wrap the pipes and I did not leave any faucets going at night. When I woke up at 7 AM it was 17. I turned on the water in the kitchen (which is the farthest place from the water inlet) and I had no problem. The thing works great. If I lose electric power, then yeah that would all be a waste of effort
