Get a pneumonia vaccine.



My grandmother in her 80's refused the pneumonia vaccine because she said "pneumonia was an old person's friend".


The older I get and the more situations I see like those illustrated by other posters, she right. We have so many new ways of keeping old people existing, we haven't asked "should we?".

Thats the way it should be. Like dog hunting and the tailgate, once you enter the OR doors, the bullshite stops.
Dang, and I was thinking of visiting nola this weekend for the first time in 12 years

I've never ready any books like that and as a kid I spent a lot of time at library. Is that kind of dialogue in Daniel Steel type books?

Yeah, people love it when other people work really hard at difficult jobs for low pay and don't take many breaks. :lol:

American engineers are spoiled. Doubt they would find one for less than $100k

$85k or even $75k is a fair salary especially considering benefits. Americans think they are too good for that.

Nola apologists out in force I see.




Nola is and has been a dump for 30 years.

Typing "let their fathers have five minutes with them" on the internet just seems so ... boring.



there's quite a few mouth-breathers on here that love typing played out shite like that. The other MBs eat it up just like they've ate it up for the last decade.

Been a lot less wars over the past 500 years if the leaders who declare war also had to send their own sons into the battle.

100%


Only person other than myself I trust is my mechanic. And he's $110/hr so it's not cheap to get him to do it. I don't want "lube techs" anywhere near something as important as oil or trans fluid.

re: Wood stairs vs carpeted stairs

Posted by Turnblad85 on 3/24/26 at 8:17 pm to
I was criticized for carpeting my stairs. So far I don't regret it. I wanted quiet, easy and cheap. I can rip it off and put new down in one day for about $100 in materials.


That said, I wouldn't cover up decent wood stairs with carpet. And I don't have inside dogs.
Father had both knees replaced. One 20 years ago and one 5 years ago. The 20year one has been excellent. The 5 year has never been right and now they say it was a defective knee and it will need to be redone.
Worth it to not have Ron "High Heel" DeSantis as president. Thanks to Trump and his lovers to avoid the DeSantis Disaster!
anything to get that GDP up. Even if it means losing your identity as a country.
