Bingo.....That sound is so relaxing that it can put me to sleep faster than an Ambien.

I was the proud owner of an "Innie" up until the time I had laparoscopic surgery for a double hernia and the surgeon turned my "Innie into an Outie" with one of the incisions to perform the surgery.

peeling hard boiled eggs.

Simple trick from Jacques Pepin. Take an egg in one hand with the big end up and use a message board push-pin to puncture a tiny hole in the shell.

Boil them till done and rinse under cold water----crack the shells all over and peel under running water. Works like a charm.

Terrible father based on his children (one dies of heroin overdose and the other severely hurts kids while driving drunk)

---

So, by your thinking, a father should be judged by what his grown-arse sons do as adults their entire lives.????

One was 29 when he died of an overdose and the other was 36 when he drove DUI and had a wreck.

They're adults making bad decisions on their own.

From my experience with her and a few other ex-smokers, nobody hates the smell of people smoking more than ex-smokers.

For me, that is a true statement. I still went to bars to play darts and pool when smoking was still allowed in them-----------but absolutely hated how I smelled afterwards.

Unfortunately for me, my wife STILL smokes. She attempted to quit in 2002 when I did but only lasted 2 weeks and went right back.

I've told her if I was a single man and just meeting her now, there'd be no way in hell I'd even date her due to her cigarette habit.

I remember playing back in the late 80’s in Hammond, La. Every bar had their own team.

I played on the North Shore for one season in the mid 90's when a friend of mine who lived over there needed players to make up a team. Traveling the Causeway twice a night on Tuesday got old fast and I only lasted one season.

It took about as long to travel as it did to play the matches-----plus, it was a fall league and I was running back and forth on a motorcycle.

I watched the finals of h Premier League this afternoon and all the games went to deciders.

Luke Littler beat Gerwyn Price 10-9, Luke Humphries beat Jonny Clayton 10-9 and in the Championship match, Littler beat Humphries 11-10.

Littler won 350,000 British Pounds Sterling which converts to $470,539 U.S.


Not bad money for playing on Thursdays for 17 weeks in the spring all over European venues.

Cut a lot of grass most of the time with an old style reel push mower. Also raked more leaves than I want to remember, weeded gardens, etc.

Worked the midway of the old Pontchartrain Beach in the Milk Bottle Booth for a few summers. Then got a job working at a boat launch on the Violet Canal with days waking up a 4:30 a.m. to start launching boats no later than 5:30 and working until 6:30 p.m. getting them out of the water.

I made a whopping $1.25 an hour for the last 2 jobs and whatever I could get for yard work per job------usually no more than $2-$3 a yard.

As a teen the last couple years of high school I worked with my uncle and his sons doing home repair work.

My first thought is to tell them to "Go Pound Sand".

It's also my continuing and final thought on that matter. :cheers:

Wife and daughter planned on going last night but nixed it due to the weather.

Thought about it today and decided against it due to the weather.

Doing a crawfish boil instead. Got a nice covered area to boil and taking them inside the man cave to eat since its got A/C and no flies to deal with and a fridge full of ice cold bottled beer.

Mine has averaged $49 and change over the past 10 months with a low of $23 and a high of $171
