re: What's something you have never done that most people have
Posted by Bamaal on 12/3/15 at 7:42 am
Cursed
Drank alcohol (outside of Mass)
Done any non medical drugs
Had sex
Missed a week of church
You might say I'm missing out but the prize I'm working for is much greater than earthly vices. I get a stronger high from securing my salvation than any substance could ever give me

re: Do any OTers get optical migraines?
Posted by Bamaal on 11/24/15 at 9:17 am
Were you aware of the 12th century German Mystic, Hildegard of Bingen? She experienced mystical visions of shimmering colors throughout her life. She attributed her vision to glimpses of heaven... Today it's commonly thought that she was experiencing optical migraines... :cheers:...
re: Dullest state to drive through and worst state to drive through
Posted by Bamaal on 11/24/15 at 8:50 am
I find Texas to be both dull, and the most disheartening state to drive through, as I can drive ALL DAY, and still be within the state of Texas. It's interminable. ...

So explain this to me - Alabama has 1 Loss to a non Top 25 Ole Miss ...
Actually, Alabama lost a close one to #15 Ole Miss after shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly, along with an incredibly lucky TD pass from Ole Miss... but then went on to beat three ranked teams; #8 Georgia, #9 Texas A&...
re: Who here didn't go to college but found a career that they succeeded in?
Posted by Bamaal on 10/29/15 at 11:53 am
I might have done better with a college degree... maybe, possibly... but have done OK without it. Both my brother and sister have degrees, and I've consistently out earned them over the last 20 years. Believe me, if it's money you want, it's not that hard to get if you're willing to work hard. If...
re: Anybody on here collect art?
Posted by Bamaal on 10/29/15 at 11:40 am
I collect art...I have 40+ oil paintings that I've bought over the years, and my only advice is NEVER buy for an investment - only buy things that you enjoy looking at. If they bring a smile to your face daily, they're worth it. I've paid anywhere between $25 and $7,000 for each piece and have no as...
re: Are there any dirtier sounding words than girth and moist?

I don't get the "moist" dislike... I never think of women as being moist... they're either wet or they're dry......
re: This $89 hoodie is the greatest hoodie ever made
Posted by Bamaal on 4/10/15 at 12:45 pm
I saw this article about the "greatest hoodie ever", and wound up checking out the American Giant website...I didn't buy the hoodie, but bought one of their baseball jackets instead. It is absolutely the best baseball jacket I've ever seen. They definitely make a superior product. :bow:...
re: Durst linked to another cold case murder

I've been wondering if his story about his mother's death is true...wondering if maybe he pushed her...perhaps he saw his chance and took it. Correctly assuming that no one would blame a child......
re: Who do so many people drive with fog lights on all the time?
Posted by Bamaal on 1/21/15 at 2:06 pm
I'm in my 50's and my night vision isn't what it used to be, so I tend to use my fog lights at night to illuminate up the edges of the road...it's a easier way to add more lighted area, without blinding other drivers....

re: Why is Arky getting no respect from tRant?
Posted by Bamaal on 10/14/14 at 2:42 pm
Alabama played a really sloppy game against Arkansas, but I'm thinking some of that was due to the fact that Arkansas is vastly improved...they're due for a win (and I'm happy as hell to have escaped) :cheers:...
re: Married OTers...If you were suddenly single, how would you re-enter the "game"?

re: Duck Tape or Duct Tape?
Posted by Bamaal on 10/9/14 at 12:26 pm
The modern silvery tape that you're enquiring about is/was called "duct" tape - commonly used as a sealant on ducting. It was however, modeled after an earlier product called "duck" tape - a tape that was made of waterproof cotton duckcloth......

Posted by Bamaal on 9/24/14 at 3:01 pm
I would check out Paramount or Carrigan's Public House. They are great new bars.
As for downtown restaurants, go to El Barrio. Order a margarita, cheese dip with chorizo, and either the chorizo meatloaf or anything with the prime rib. You are welcome.

re: How much would 100lbs of potatoes @ 99% water weigh after they dry to 98% water?
Posted by Bamaal on 9/23/14 at 4:04 pm
Someone posited that:
________________________________________
100 lbs of potatoes, 99% water (by weight), means that there's 99 lbs of water, and 1 lb of solids. It's a 1:99 ratio.
If the water decreases to 98%, then the solids account for 2% of the weight. The 2:98 ratio reduces to 1:49. Sin...
