BR opening its door and pocketbooks to people displaced by Katrina.

People who go above and beyond for a company for years, only to be laid off at the first ill wind.

My birthday! I was 5 years old lol


I was 20, good night to party.
$30 month for Supergrok. Well worth it, I get to write it off to my IT company.
Car in front of me blatantly runs a red light, cross traffic has to slam on brakes. BR Police sits there watching, does nothing.

This happened to a friend of my father. And he lived in Pointe ala Hache and ate raw oysters right off the boat.


I've done that a few times, then I was told it was not a good idea. Apparently, the pathogens come from the seawater which is washed off in processing. I believed him enough to stop going it.
I worked at this valve rework shop for a summer job, most of the guys were lazy idiots. They put the hose for one of these in the boss's parking spot, when it rang they knew it was time to work.
Mom, this will be easy, send some extra socks with him, those will catch all of his essential juices.

Very sad, the moral to the story is Illinois is too far from the sea to eat raw oysters.

Melatonin works, but it gives me dreams from hell. One night I dreamed that Joe Biden was President and Kamala was veep. So, doc prescribed zapelon, it works pretty well. no tie to dementia like Benadryl. I'll skip it for a week a month, don't want to be dependent.
Which model do you have, what was the cost? We are getting old and the self drive would be a great convenience.

Thanks.

I don't get it either, I'm an IT guy, I love new technology, I have more fun learning how to use the latest gadget than anything. I tend to buy something like a drone, go through the learning process, master it, then move on to a new gadget.
I'm 76, I want a self-driving car, however my wife won't let me spend $100K on one. Since she won't drink her glycol tea, I guess I'm out of luck.

It is a great time to be alive.

Thailand was pretty bad. I recall seeing people buried shoulders deep into the ground, just their head sticking out. Was really hot, dogs pissing on them, chickens pecking them, was really something to see…


Sounds better than when my wife gets me to take her to a poetry reading.
