    The madness of Fergerson

    Uhm, dood, I simply made a point about the ridiculousness of the use of Breaking News with regard to nothing happening in Ferguson, which you said was in no way relevant to what is happening in Ferguson. Then you rant about the media using the tired Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead...

    The madness of Fergerson

    Apparently it's so pervasive and ubiquitous that you can't even see it. "Driving While Black" is actually a thing that black people get pulled over for. A black man running while not wearing a sports uniform is probably guilty of something, so he gets stopped and questioned. A black man...

    The madness of Fergerson

    The lead story being that 'nothing happened' is quite possibly the world's worst and most ineffective method at drumming up trouble. No, it's being done to stoke the fires of anticipation of the Big Story, in a naked attempt at a ratings grab. No they aren't. No it's not an accident. It's done...

    Support hillary clinton for president!

    The picture accompanying the story (gray headed, dejected, defeated), and the fact that it's a story from the Tribune News Service, a huge supporter of Obama, gives this story a lot of context and gravity. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/obamas-political-legacy-fading-fast/ar-BBesbST

    What size Power Invertor do you need to run a 9200 BTU ac and Electric Heater?

    Just be aware of what you're getting. The Snugger is a cheap Espar D2 knockoff from China. The glow plug has a failure rate so high that you need to just buy a replacement glow plug when you get the unit. The power switch was re-purposed from a Cracker Jack box toy. A lot of people report strong...

    The madness of Fergerson

    What do you mean in no way relevant? CNN and Fox News are both running round the clock Breaking News Alerts followed by the all-important announcement that nothing happened.

    The madness of Fergerson

    BREAKING NEWS: Still no decision from Ferguson Grand Jury. In other BREAKING NEWS... Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

    What part of "isn't even true" is messing you up?

    Want to feel insignificant?

    Depends on your ego going in. If you have a large ego with a high level of self-importance, the above link will make you feel very small, indeed. If, however, you realize that you are not in the universe, but rather the universe is in you, once you realize that you are, literally, made of star...

    Browns case not vindicated by UN

    No it didn't. It came from a right wingnut web site, and isn't even true. snopes.com: UN Refuses Intervention in Michael Brown Ferguson Case

    Thanksgiving Freight

    No guarantees, of course, but the Midwest (other than SE MI) and the Carolinas are good spots to be for Thanksgiving. Midland, TX and Vance, AL not so much.

    November is here!

    What I got is Norco 5/325. 5mg hydrocodone with 325mg acetaminophen... One every 8 hours. Tic-Tacs again. Took one, nothing. Then 2 hours later took another one, still nothing. The notion of begging my doctor for more and stronger narcotics is a little disturbing to me, so I'll just deal with...

    What size Power Invertor do you need to run a 9200 BTU ac and Electric Heater?

    Oh, yeah, absolutely. The above recounted telephone conversation (if indeed it even happened at all)? Posting the contents of a private conversation to a public forum is outrageous. It's an outrageous breach of trust, and is done by someone unworthy of trust, of low moral character, highly...

    Obamnasty

    This isn't unprecedented, though. Lots of presidents issue "signing statements" when they sign a bill into law. The statements say which parts of the law the president will enforce, and which he'll ignore. I don't think any of them have done things to this degree, however. The problem with Obama...

    What size Power Invertor do you need to run a 9200 BTU ac and Electric Heater?

    Stop it. Just stop. Quit screaming that you're brutally honest when you're the exact opposite. You made up stuff about me more than once, got called on it and then lied some more. With regards to the truth, you have zero credibility.

    November is here!

    My regular doc gave me a script for Norco, which is acetaminophen and hydrocodone. A different brand of Lortab. Hopefully that works. Should get in next week to the ortho doctor for the cast.

    November is here!

    I took 100mg at 2100, then 100mg at 0300, nothing. Nada. No effect. Then drove the rest of the way home this morning. I've never taken vicodin. The last prescription pain medication I took was Lortab, 15 years or so ago, for back spasms or a pulled muscle or something. I suffered for 3 days...
