My car was supposed to go in for repairs today. The person who, last week, said he’d give me a ride forgot about it & wasn’t coming into office today. Plan B was to bike into work but at 21° this morning it was just too cold. I’ll ride to about 27°-28° but below that it’s painful to breathe the cold air. Now I need to wait another week to get it fixed.
He forgot about it? What a royal shit head.
No, Facebook didn’t do that, some person on Facebook did that.
And when you show them proof that their comment is wrong, they get mad at you.
Yup, unfriended the wife of my former foster brother last month for this shit.
She posted this obviously ludicrously false crap about how we allegedly spend $900 billion per year on welfare for illegal aliens. When I posted the real numbers (Fed welfare budget less than half that, illegals don’t get welfare), she replied that if I didn’t like it, I didn’t have to read her posts.
My response was that if this was the kind of person she was, I didn’t want to know her.
And as I told others; if at any point she’d just have taken it down or admitted that it wasn’t entirely accurate, there’d have been no issue.
I stopped getting cortisone shots in my knee after the last one didn’t take. I’m 95% bone against bone but my ortho keeps says I’m “too young” for a replacement. I don’t know if I can hang on until Medicare kicks in (10 years from now).
Filbert, you might be able to pull the hard drive out of the old notebook, put it into an enclosure (something like this), and then copy across the files you need to the new laptop. Hunt up the manual for your make and model of laptop; sometimes the internals are darn near inaccessible, sometimes all you have to do is unscrew a panel on the bottom, slide out the hard drive, and you’re golden.
Yeah, thank goodness you’re not also hypersensitive. That would be mayhem.
I wear a balaclava that covers my mouth/nose. I’m always breathing warm air in winter cycling.
Obviously a lot better than mine. Where’d you get yours? I find I can’t afford anything that gets repackaged as “For Serious Cycling!”, but I’d love to find a good basic face mask thing.
They don’t make mine anymore but it’s like the Pearl Izumi Barrier Balaclava on Amazon for $21.
Cycle every day all year long. I wear a Smartwool balaclava when it’s chilly to keep my ears from getting too cold. When it’s really cold, I add a Seirus face mask and switch to insulated lobster gloves. And when it is ridiculously cold and my eyes water, I add ski goggles. Got all of the above at REI because I work there.
Yeah, when my previous laptop died (fried GPU), the repair shop turned the old HD into an external HD. I didn’t even need to hunt down my backups.
Or you could go with something like this…

I have the first one but use it more as a cheek/chin warmer as I typically ride with it below my mouth. The latter one is even worse; makes me feel like I’m suffocating.
Went to Panera to bring breakfast into work; got a dozen bagels & a box of danish; the guy puts bags in bags (a large shopping bag with a handle). Get into work & go to unpack everything & find out he never gave me one bag, the one with the cream cheese & napkins. Bagels w/o cream cheese just doesn’t cut it.
I would, just once, like to get something else published. Not submit things, wait six months and get a ‘wait, what? No. Lol.’
Ok, so I’m lying. I want to get published all the time, everywhere.
There is no purl side in a garter stitch shawl. There is a right side and a wrong side, but if everything is garter, calling one side the knit side and the other side the purl side is dumb.
Boats have a starboard side and a port side, even when you’re nowhere near port.
Well, yeah, let’s just say that I was more than a bit peeved when I posted that. I’m over it now 
Note to self: Don’t post within a half hour of waking up, especially when you’ve had less than 5 hours of sleep.
I just got home after seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens. What a stinking piece of flying goat shit, a barf bag brimming with horse turds of a movie.
I just love the way you think. 
This rant is somehow a thing of pure beauty.
