Xrays still are. (Sorry)

I was in health care long enough to see opinions on various things swing left to right, back left and back to the right. I read an article a long time ago about it. When...

Even less defense. Only a few of the goals were bad goaltending. Who needs forwards to center the puck when the other team's D will do it for you?

You would think folks would be less grumpy with the lovely spring weather. Lots of people out at Donner enjoying the "beach". You have to be pretty hammered to play cornhole for hours. And the...

George Washington's cherries? I think not.

"The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (Task
Force) has issued a final recommendation on
Screening for Prostate Cancer. "
Final? I don't think so.


Also look at the section on disadvantages.

I've tried fixing my underwithholding. The company doesn't respond. Most of us that don't have our own businesses would prefer to not to have the hassle and perhaps expense of calculating taxes...

My understanding is that in Europe avalanche deaths are considered acts of man rather than acts of god. I've read about skiers being prosecuted for setting off avys that hit other people. If such...

Anyone who thinks a team that gets trounced one day can't come back and trounce the next hasn't watched much hockey. That doesn't mean they will of course. They are the Leafs after all.

I wasn't familiar with G-1000. sounds like 60--40 cloth we used to wear. What goes around comes around I guess. We got rid of it when Goretex came along.

By the way, what does "semi-technical"...

Wife almost took a copy of Squallywood to the thrift. I caught it in time.

Seems like a lot of people having trouble with enough withholding in recent years. Lot's of changes to the tax code is part of it, but I bet companies like people to get big paychecks--makes people...

When my wife loses stuff and I start looking she's like "I would never put it there." I'm like "did you look everywhere you might have put it?" She's like "Yes." I'm like "then it must be someplace...

First time at OV on a Saturday this season. The only crowd was at the top of Sibo face.

I dislocated my shoulder in a tough spot. I apologized to the patroler who got to me. He said, " Hey, you're not bleeding and you're not screaming, so no problem."

If you think you can collect the cost of repair than hiring a pro is the obvious answer.

That's why I always climb from the Tibet side.

Ha! I looked it up. I can discourage them from nesting as long as I don't disturb an actual nest. Not that I would EVER do such a thing. Anyway, the jays don't migrate (although I don't suppose...

There are no children here. And no lawns. But I do yell at the jays that try to nest over my front door. And they yell back. A hose won't reach them but my special squirt gun will.

Yep.
FIS has been running GS and slalom races this week at AM. Fun to watch. I tried to keep up with the slalom racers on the next run over but couldn't, even though I didn't make turns. I'm sure...

The Best Sentences of 2023. From an ongoing section of Frank Bruni opeds in the NYT. Warning: liberal bias, although not entirely so....

At 73 I ski as hard as I ever did. By which I mean I work as hard as ever to go a lot slower , quit a lot sooner, and hurt a lot more.

The 90 year old casements in our house are still going strong. No cranks and gears. The window and the screen are on separate mounts. You push the window and screen out, release the window by...

Wow

The Utah Gulls. Or, if you prefer, the Crickets.

Got a run on High T this morning. I've been hiking over there for decades but this is the first time there doesn't seem to have been any attempt to create a track. Just 50+ separate lines up and...

I had a GF who watched Dr. Strangelove on my advice. She thought it was depressing--didn't realize it was a comedy. We didn't last. (Not because of that; she was out of my league.)

Buttah--you do realize that you're the only one who actually takes this thread seriously, don't you? I can't imagine what it must be like to go through life with no sense of humor.

Our no freeze hose bibs have long pieces of pipe that are soldered to the copper pipe in the crawl space. YMMV.
I learned the hard way not to leave a hose attached to the nonfreeze bib in the winter.

I would think that it beats sending organic waste to a landfill where it produces methane. But I'm too lazy to look up numbers.

I'm really impressed that you and your lawyer made an issue of fixing the procedure and not just taking the money. Thank you for doing that.

This is a weak area in medicine. One study found a...

I'm watching Kucherov's 100 as I read your post. At 17 minutes into the 2nd. Lightning have been trying to set it up all game.
Meanwhile Matthews had 12 SOG, 13 if you count a save made by a...

He has as much chance of getting that money as Fred Goldman or E. Jean Carroll

What a nightmare. As I understand your original post, someone in the clinic put the wrong label on your specimen, or maybe specimen jars were prelabeled and the doctor put your specimen in the wrong...

Bot reported to mods. I mean look at the avatar. Clearly not a person.

DST used to start at the end of April, it's been moved earlier twice. That probably has something to do with why resorts that used to open early in the spring don't any more.

A lot of land use rules were invented to keep black people out.

I had a 6m old Cocker that unzipped a gym bag that our son's HS friend brought over, pulled out a bag of weed and brought it down to us in the living room. That dog would do anything for a treat. ...

I don't think drones will work as cheap at patrollers will.

Some of the best corn I've skied around here has been in January. And the nice thing about it is that the window is a lot longer. The not so nice thing is I'd rather be skiing powder.

I'd rather live in the middle of a bunch of dirtbag methheads than in an HOA.

Go flyers go--(take out the caps) Assuming the wings can take the Habs one more time.
So many teams vying to get their asses kicked in round 1 in the East.

And we can always count on someone complaining about the thread to keep it going.

I ate at the Truckee McDonalds a day before I flew to Boston where I came down with raging GIs and we had to give away our tickets for the Wings Bruins game my son got me as a Xmas present. I've...

The annoyance is not with the packaging. It is with our incompetence in opening it. BTW--the best seafood is mostly frozen onboard ship, vacuum sealed frozen, and sold in (ziploc-style) plastic...

We used to be big fans of This Old House. Now, most of the projects are high end gut jobs. They did a nice job rehabbing a house in central Detroit a couple of blocks from the house I was a baby in...

Most boomers are living on fixed incomes. While SS is adjusted with inflation, it has failed to keep up with the COL over time. Private pensions are still fairly common for boomers and they don't...

Even if no one loves you or depends on you--consider disability insurance. If you can get it.

I don't have you on ignore, I apologize for not remembering your post. Obviously you and probably other people have mentioned considering loved ones/dependents.

As far as partners, a lot depends...

Agree re FICA--tax every dollar of every type of income. As it is, it's a regressive tax.

Re govt incompetence--sure there are plenty of examples, but consider Medicare. Administrative costs are...
