I agree completely. Every single person has a cell phone in their pocket. All that is necessary is the common courtesy of keeping you informed.
What Happened to Army Surplus Stores?
Posted by Spankum on 8/8/26 at 12:51 pm
They used to have a lot of very cool shite in them. I used to buy most of my hunting stuff there during my childhood. Every town of any size used to have a store.
Does the army not have surplus items anymore?

All shipping companies just turned to crap during Covid. They never recovered..

As some of the others say, there is supposed to be some kind of flapper where your vent pipe meets the atmosphere to keep air from backing up through the vent from outside. Make sure that flapper is in place,,,,

I am not going to type all of that kind of shite….but I’ll summarize.
50% - Sicilian with a bit of northern Italian thrown in.
50% - French/English/Irish/Cajun
I found the whole thing very interesting, and if you take the proper precautions (like a burner e-mail) I don’t see how they could possible track the profile back to me without one hell of a lot of work

re: City of Knoxville begins testing program to allow drinking outside in Market Square

I have been to a few games in Knoxville and have never been hassled about an open container anywhere appropriate. If you don’t act like an a-hole, they don’t bother you.
Pretty shitty, inconsiderate thing to do, IMO.

Damn truth…..several years ago, I had a stroke at work in my office. I had read somewhere that the only comprehensive stroke center in central Mississippi was at the “shittiest” hospital, so I requested to be taken there. Glad I did, because the care was stellar once I got out of the waiting room.

I don’t think you need to apply anything to branches that are cut on the branch. However, on branches sawed off at the trunk (as they should be) I like to apply some of that spray pruning sealer to prevent rot in the trunk of the tree.

How large an area of carpet?
Is the room adjacent to a bathroom/kitchen/utility room?
Where is your water heater located?
Primarily located in a carpeted bathroom seeking under the wall to an adjacent bedroom.
Water heater is located in the attic. Central AC unit is above the bathroom.
It has not rained here in over a month.
I believe I could do it a time or two….however, I couldn’t do it as a profession.

Are tips shown to the driver immediately or after they close out the ticket?
Looked like he knew the tip before he looked before he actually delivered the order and looked at his phone. I am skeptical!

I’m sitting at OLOL and it’s like a third world country
Man, all emergency rooms look like a third world country because poor folks are forced to use them as urgent care. That said, if you have a child with a concussion, you need to be in a true ER.
Actually, I find that the ERs that we perceive as shitty, are also the most active and typically give the best care.
ETA: If you can get the boy to throw up in the middle of the waiting room, you’ll get taken back quickly. That’s what I did when there for a kidney stone!
Don’t want to insult your intelligence, but mine has a little knob on the side that lets you vary the speed. Have you checked to see if that knob is not turned all the way down?
Water bill last month was the monthly minimum, so that further reinforces the theory that is not a water leak. I’ll still have the leak detection company check it out when they get here.

She has since bonded out of jail.
That’s not zero tolerance. Bish made a terroristic threat against a large target and walks free.
Agree completely…they cut her some slack because she is young. I know a dude that posted something similar on the internet and did time in a federal prison as a result.
