Roamy sent me an IM to my Prodigy account late last night asking if I could thow the HHD together as she was still under observation after a slight mishap involving a hammock, a sex toy, seven bomb pops, a feather boa, and the Blu-Ray of Magic Mike, but I promised that I wouldn’t get into specifics.

Not as gay as usual. Nice job.
Ha! Cyn peeked at our movie date list.
I slept almost 9 whole hours. It was hard, and I had to take a few short breaks, but I did it!
WTF is ‘Pacific Rim’? Sounds like a weird Tahitian sex act.
Color me intrigued,,,
Morning children.
It is not quite as cold as I thought it might be. Our high temp yesterday was a record low for the day.
Are you packing yet, Vmax?
OK, dogs are fed, back to bed.
Good job, Leon!
Good morning Hostages.
I was contemplating the logistics of packing and moving this morning while deciding to leave the warmth of my bed.
I think I will rent a trailer and where to get boxes?
Vman, last time I rented a U-Haul they sold boxes there. They were pricey, however.
Scope the back of your local Home Depot, you’ll usually find some big boxes there.
I think I finally ran out of stuff to talk about last night.
37 years. It was a good run.
Thanks Phat.
What will MJ live for now that he has run out of words?
I bought boxes at Lowes when we moved. Sturdy boxes, so we still have a few in use for storage. They weren’t too pricy. If we were moving as far as you are, there’s no way I would have brought furniture.
He’ll have something new to talk about after the first day in the VI.
Yes the vultures are going to make out like bandits. I have a 55″ old style TV that works fine and even does 1080i that will hit the curb.
My leather sofa and recliner are probably going to travel with me but I am not sure.
Vmax, before packing, if you make ads on CL for everything you don’t want to drag along, you might make some gas money.
Vman,
I’ll be in Houston later this year for sim training (after I finally retire from the AF).
Looking forward to buying you several beers.
Morning all
I think I finally ran out of stuff to talk about last night.
37 years. It was a good run.
When I run out of things to say, I usually start with “Obama is such an asshole …” and suddenly I have plenty of ideas.
Vmax, walk through your house and convert everything you are moving into cubic feet, add it up and add 10%.
I think you will find that you need a truck.
Oh, and don’t dumpster-dive for boxes. When the boxes are uniform in size, they are easier to move, load, and store.
Scott, it’s almost like you know how to move things.
Want a little economic sunshine? This is amazing.

This 20 county shale oil field in South Texas was nothing 6 years ago. Today it is the “single largest oil and gas development in the world”, producing 375,000 barrels a day. It supports 116,000 jobs and has an economic impact in the state of Texas of $61 billion dollars a year. In one year, the number of jobs more than doubled, and production tripled.
Vmax you should also check out uship.com.
You can probably find a few paying jobs to cover the truck and fuel expenses.
G’morning, cool kids.
Congrats, VMan!
Hmm… Mission Bend VS Katy.
Nothing that involves bending Katy?
Awesome or creepy?
http://imgur.com/gallery/MPWcsKg
Awesome or creepy?
Yes!
Google is one of those companies I’d take a job at just for the chance to go public with all the creepy stuff happening inside it.
They’d either assimilate you or disappear you, Leon.
I’m not assimil-able. They’d have to use the GAssassin.
Cyn, NICCCCCCCE, job on HHD.
Henry Cavill’s body is NICCCCCCCCCE.
Yep, NiCCCCCCCCCE start to the day.
Just to piss off Wiser and Mare:
Henry Cavill’s body is NICCCCCCCCCE.
He won’t need much for his Superman suit now, will he. And Jackman is still looking very fine as well. Very fine.
Is it just me, or does that broad not have an upper lip? It makes her face look a little weird.
How come you didn’t include Jim Carrey?
Heh. That was rhetorical, I’m sure.
OK I now have both offers
Offer 1; Direct hire, better pay $6.50 more per hour. Large firm 300+ employees. Fixed position with few opportunities for advancement beyond position hired. Average benefits
Offer 2; Contract to hire 6 month contract. Definitely will hire at the completion of the contract, possibility of more money after 6 months.
Smaller firm with 25 employees. Open to moving me from Designer to Project Manager in future. Average benefits.
Off the top of my head $6.50 per hour more buys a lot of future advancement. Direct hire is better as well.
Any one care to comment?
I’m not at Cavill’s musculature, yet, but I’m definitely as fit as Downey.
Tough call, Vman; they both have their pro’s and con’s. Is location a factor for you in the decision-making?
I’ll be watching Kick Ass 2 because Hit Girl is the best character EVER!!!! I’m ignoring that the premiere date got pushed from June into August, where summer movies go to die.
I like the second one, but I haven’t been out of work for a while.
It’s possible you could apply for #2 in the future, if the first one isn’t too your liking. You have to weigh the possibility for advancement in there. Myself, I don’t really want to move up, so I’m happy where I am. If you do want to, that becomes more important.
I like smaller teams. Maybe you prefer a larger, more structured group. Cost benefit analysis.
I don’t know how old you are, VMax, but I’d lean toward #1 as well. $6.50 hour is probably the better part of a decade’s worth of advancement. Also, if anything goes south at the other job before advancement, you’re out $6.50 for every hour worked.
The only mitigating factor I can think of is lifestyle and the type of work. Also, being one of 300 is a very different experience than being 1 of 25.
I would take option 1, Vmax..
By the way, there is always an opportunity to move up. They just don’t know it yet.
I like what leon and Hotspur said. #1 seems to be a better fit. #2 as top choice for me is strictly personal.
They are both in the suburbs of Houston, I am moving to them so I can pick where I rent and how long the commute will be so I cannot see any obvious advantage to either one.
I think the higher paying job is close to a toll road. Houston has an abundance of toll roads.
If you are on a toll road, definitely look at IPass, or anything similar to it. Buying in bulk saved my brother a lot of money, when he had to drive the bridge over Lake Ponchatrain (however you spell it, SYWM) on the way into New Orleans.
VMan,
I generally count promises of future advancement as having a net present value of $0.0, give or take a few cents. Money on the table is money on the table.
I would be uneasy working at the place where that lady refused to shake your hand. I think she was floored by your rugged manliness and was getting hot under the burka. She was able to restrain herself during the interview, but might sexually harass you once you get there.
Ok, that second thing was just me being an ass. Ignore me.
We usually do.
>>We usually do.
And yet you made that comment.
Was someone talking?
/that’s how it’s done!
Option 1 401k 4% match with up to a 3% profit share match for a possible total of 7%
Option 2 is a straight 5% match.
“Definitely will hire at the completion of the contract,”
Hmmmm, I understand the nature of contract hiring for 6 months, but if they are “definitely” going to hire you after, why not make it a 12 month contract or a different structure entirely.
Long story short: Saying “definitely” means nothing.
Burka company was not offering Tushar.
My thought to future position is I can always pursue it somewhere else.
And one can count on laziness. I learned to grade by putting a finished grading plan in front of the engineer that did not want to teach me to grade.
It was far easier for him to correct a few errors than to do all the work himself. Asking to help do ones job is usually not frowned on.
Mare, my take is that companies like to put that 6 months thing because that gives them an option in case the guy turns out to be, whats the latest buzzword … cray cray.
With VMax, they would be cray cray not to make him permanent after the six month period.
Tushar, I agree, but Vman has had companies back out before. One in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Of course companies use that as an out, that was my point.
Most companies have you on a 90-day probationary period any way so that 6 month deal seems a bit flaky to me. Almost as though they aren’t sure that they’ll have enough work for you down the road.
The larger firm obviously is doing well enough to require that many people.
Vman, which company do you “feel better” about? I know it sounds hopelessly liberal, but I’m guessing that your gut is telling you which one is going to be a better fit for you. That old saying still applies: “Find a job that you love, and you’ll never “work” another day in your life.”
If you don’t love, love, love Company #1, believe me when I tell you that you will grow to hate every penny of the extra money that you might make working there.
Trust your instincts on this one – and remember that there are still LOTS of jobs available in a state this big (and ornery).
“Almost as though they aren’t sure that they’ll have enough work for you down the road.”
BINGO!
Also, which company has gluten in the lunchroom?
Of course you’ll hate your company. That’s why they have to pay you to show up.
VMax, another reason for going with option 1:
Companies are generally scared of making the decision about who to hire and at what cost. That is why they like to see a history of past employers and pay. If company A was ready to pay $X, then company B is comfortable paying $X plus some.
If you accept offer 1, that immediately stamps you with a worth that is higher than company B would. You have a built in pay advantage on your next move. And if you don’t move? You can cry for not accepting offer B and wipe your tears with dollar bills.
1
Under contract the company has no skin in the game. They can let me go and not have to pay UE or Cobra etc. However the position is hard to fill so if I make it 6 months and don’t drive them cray cray, they can hire me and no longer pay the agency’s fee that is substantial.
Direct hire the company pays the exact same fee up front and takes their chances.
>>Of course you’ll hate your company. That’s why they have to pay you to show up.
Heh. So true.
Cyn – EXCELLENT selection of eye candy today!
FWIW, Mr. TiFW and I went to see an advance showing of GI Joe 2 last night – it was quite enjoyable. And oh, the muscles! *fans self furiously*
Where was I? Oh, yeah – if you plan on going to see GIJ2, you’ll definitely want to shell out the extra bucks to see it in 3D; it’s pretty awesome.
I don’t want to spoil anything, but let me just say that Bruce Willis’ character has a kitchen full of gadgets that any Hostage(tte) would kill for….. 😛
“Of course you’ll hate your company. That’s why they have to pay you to show up.”
HA!
VMax, if you are getting that gut feeling that TiFW is talking about, and think that pay aside, you would love Company B more, how about showing them the offer from Company A before you accept? You never know. They might bump it a bit.
Okay, now Vman, show up to both companies without pants and see which one “overreacts.”
25% less gheyness today. Good job!
BTW, I say that, but for the most part, I actually liked the civilian companies I’ve worked for. Some more than others, sure. But never hated a company enough to quit.
>>Okay, now Vman, show up to both companies without pants and see which one “overreacts.”
Or, show up wearing a burka and refuse to shake anyone’s hand.
Seriously, I cannot get that woman out of my head. I hate it when people move to another country and insist on imposing their cultural stuff on the locals.
Tushar, I think I missed the burka story. Extrapolating what you’ve said, some stupid muslim bitch works in a company and finds shaking hands at that American company offensive?
If that is in company #1 uh, oh.
HA! Cyn’s categories.
Categories: bacon, Balls, Hulk Smash, Hunks, Hunky Hump Day, She-Meat, Things that really matter, You’re gonna love my nuts, Your mom likes this .
You wear a burka in America, to me, you’re a dumb muslim bitch.
You wear one in Muslim countries, you’re just trying to stay alive.
vmax, which job will let you bring Zeke to work? 🙂
Offer # 1 – definitely. Unless “future” options are written down in the offer letter, they aren’t worth squat. Take the money now.
Mare, no. Fortunately, the Burka company was a different one. They don’t deserve to have good people working for them.
A blonde lady motorist was about two hours from San Diego when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down. The man walked up to the car and asked, “Are you going to San Diego?”
“Sure,” answered the blonde, “do you need a lift?”
“Not for me. I’ll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck. My problem is I’ve got two chimpanzees in the back which have to be taken to the San Diego Zoo. They’re a bit stressed already so I don’t want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I’ll give you $100 for your trouble.”
“I’d be happy to,” said the blonde. So the two chimpanzees were ushered into the back seat of the blonde?s car and carefully strapped into their seat belts, and off they went.
Five hours later, the truck driver was driving through the heart of San Diego when suddenly he was horrified! There was the blonde walking down the street and holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of a big crowd. With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the blond. What are you doing here?” he demanded, “I gave you $100 to take these chimpanzees to the zoo.”
“Yes, I know you did,” said the blonde,” but we had money left over — so now we’re going to Sea World.”
Looks like someone was paying attention to The Bible’s ratings:
http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/bill-oreilly-killing-jesus-adapted-by-nat-geo/2013/03/26/id/496303?s=al&promo_code=12EFD-1
Killing Lincoln on Nat Geo was also good. Can’t wait for Killing Kennedy, which was an excellent book.
FWIW, the only reason I mentioned that about “your gut” is because Mr. TiFW took a position within his company a couple of years ago despite his misgivings about the person who was going to be the newly-formed group’s supervisor (they had worked together previously as co-workers). He was excited about the “possibilities” for a brand new project where he would be a part of development from the beginning.
Six months in, he was absolutely miserable – loved the work, hated the supervisor’s insistence on “following the process” to the exclusion of all else. Despite giving the same level of professionalism to his tasks as he always did – which had always been reflected with an “Excellent”/”Above and Beyond” rating every year – his supervisor insisted on giving him the lowest possible rating on his performance appraisal that year.
Fortunately, all of the other supervisors who knew Mr. TiFW shamed his supervisor into raising that rating. As one of them told me later, he – and everyone else in the room – was “shocked and saddened” by that supervisor’s actions (and he hasn’t risen any further in the company since that time).
Mr. TiFW was IMMEDIATELY offered positions in a couple of groups which had openings, and hasn’t looked back. He also said that he will NEVER take a job again – regardless of the salary/opportunity offered – if he has a bad feeling about it going in.
Sorry about the book I just wrote….

Or, in the words of Rosetta:
And then what happened?
Good day, Haterade drinkers.
J’ames, no way they had money left over to go to Sea World. Shenanigans!!!
My comment to vmax about choosing a job based on taking Zeke with him is only partially a joke. I have my current job because it was the first one I found after getting laid off 2 years ago. I could not bring my dog in to work with me here – it wouldn’t be allowed. But I will be looking for another dog this fall, and will require that I be able to bring my dog to work with me for the first 3 months or so that I have him, so that we bond properly. That means a new job.
I was able to do this with my current dog Beta, and it has made a huge difference.
Option 1 Vmax. No contest.
Holy smokes, AD, I bet that narrows the possibilities considerably.
Not sure how I feel about a bunch of coworkers bringing their dogs to work with them. Maybe if they had their own office and sound proofed too. Extra breaks to take them “out.” The smell. Allergies. Hair.
congrats, Vmax!!!
I am not, in any way, qualified to offer suggestions regarding anyone else’s career decisions, so all I’m going to say is congratulations.

Any chance that Obamacare violates states’ rights?

Has anyone seen RedEye yet? Don’t ruin it, but I’ll bet Nick Searcy was awesome.
Yes, I think it does, TiFW!
And if SCOTUS sees DOMA as violating states’ rights, then does that mean that they will uphold Prop. 8 in California? Seeing as the majority of people in that state voted FOR it.
Seems like special interest groups are all for “the will of the people” except when the “will” isn’t what their group wants.

I’m not sure exactly what gauge the sheet metal is. Probably 10 or 12.
I only built six of them yesterday. It was a customer order for sixteen.
What are those things?
When you’re teething, everything goes into your mouth!

Teething babies love gnawing on unsuspecting parents and grandparents the most.
They’re proofing cabinets. Bakeries buy them to make the dough rise faster.
Subways buys heaps of them.
When you go to Subway your bread comes out of one of those.

I like it when men build things. Jew, I’m bummed you’re on the other team because women need more men like you in their household.
I don’t know what I’m saying.
When I think about it, lots of men here (and women HA!) build things or are good with their hands (shut up, whore).
You didn’t build that.
If you build it, they will come.
Is this post bouncing back up after you refresh it for anyone else?
I blame Jay.
Had one of these short out on me while working at KFC.

Yes, yes it is, Cyn. I have a self inflicted virus that only you were supposed to get. And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you meddling old people!

And now, it is time for me to pour a glass! (as opposed to drinking straight from the box)

Is North Korea on anyone else’s death pool?
Because I don’t think there’ll be one in a couple more years.
And now, it is time for me to pour a glass! (as opposed to drinking straight from the box)
This is my biggest complaint about box wine. It’s too impractical to look all decadent and drink straight from it.
Thanks, Jay!!
Leon, how do you think it will play out?
So, now the AOSHQ’s RSS feed is FUBAR!
Pool was good, but the hot tub had dirty water (high winds have been blowing a lot of dust into it). Too many young kids around to really enjoy the pool. It’s spring break and all the kids are visiting grandma and grandpa. Normally, I don’t mind, but today seemed to have a special on whiny kids. Worse, no MILFy moms seemed to accompany the kids to the pool today.
Good evening!
Hey, how do you like your wine? In a bag? Coming up!

Has the Vman decided on which job he’s going to take in Houston?
Afternoon all.
I officially hate everyone who is not like me. You all are intolerant and Mondanophobic!

HOW WAS THE BACON?
That last comment was about as coherent as my day has been.
I was accused of being mean to a student I don’t even teach, as the grading period ends. Which is why she was getting a less than passing grade
(Another teacher has a name similar to mine. Say mine was “Smythe-Worthington”, the other teacher is just “Smythe”)
Vman said he took option 1.
XB: google wine enema images…not as bad as you’d imagine
Ace’s site also has a banner ad “Give Ugly Girls A Chance”
((Cries))
WHAT ABOUT US UGLY GUYS? HUH? WHAT ABOUT US???
I think I enjoy Ace’s take down of fools the most. I know they are easy targets but he’s good, really good.
I expect a coup, Mare. Someone under Un is going to either off him or sufficiently challenge him and throw the North into chaos. The South and China will argue over who takes over what’s left. The loser of that argument will get the North.
Alternatively, Un rattles his saber so hard he accidentally draws it and nukes Seoul. NK is reduced to a memory in the weeks that follow.

Ohhhh, I got that one wrong.
Leon, do you think the food shortages are the worst of it?
One of my customers was a teacher. He started in the north end of Hartford and the kids threatened to kill him so he moved to the south end. There the parents threatened to kill him so he came to my town and the parents threatened to sue him.
He quit and turned into a pretty big deal

MJ, when you said you ran out of things to say last night, did you mean here? Or just in life general.
Like, “Screw it, what is there left to say about this MFing administration??”
Yes MCPO, I accepted offer #1.
I bought boxes and am packing them full.
Mostly I am throwing out stuff.
“Mostly I am throwing out stuff.”
Good!
Trust me get rid of the crap. Take ONLY what you love, give away or throw away the rest…be brutal in your decisions. Less to ship, unpack, dust, move again…etc..
Or I’m totally wrong and the rest of the world will cater to this little tantrum and nothing will change.
Scott, good for Jeff. I enjoyed that.
“I officially hate everyone who is not like me.”
That’s why it’s good to come here mundane!
vmax, check out prices for Pod and Packrat too.
Rental equipment to Texas will be expensive, they have to pay people to drive the trucks back to California.
NK is already starving. I don’t see how their government collapsing could possibly make it worse. The worst of it could easily be radioactive fallout across the peninsula and into the Sea of Japan.
Vman – I’m excited for you!
WHAT ABOUT US UGLY GUYS? HUH? WHAT ABOUT US???
Get rich.
Leon, I think what I meant to say, are the food shortages going to be the tipping point. That creates the coup.
I think they are happy to take a trailer out of Florida Scott.

It was actually last night. I was texting a friend and realized I had nothing more say. It was weird. I’m basically talking in my head all of the time.
That feeling lasted until this afternoon. It’s stupid, but I like making dumb comments.
I do this with my car:
http://statigr.am/p/350272674289139264_47270494
“..but I like making dumb comments.”
I’ve said it here before; The reason I make so many mistakes? I like to say stupid stuff fast.
HOLY SHIT, a dozen homes on Whidbey Island lost in a massive landslide.
Vman, if you hesitate over anything for more than a second…GET RID OF IT!!!
Remember, less to stick in the garage, attic, dust, unpack, GO LEAN.
Correction, one lost, dozen at risk.
Did anybody warn anybody else that they would get wet today?
Scott the bacon was really tasty. A little salty, but I was informed by a little bacon birdy that you might know that it will mellow out a bit, given a little time.
But it’s seriously good tasting you guys
Where brad? Specifically, my best friend has a house there.
Got it…Coupville. Not near her.
South of Coupeville, west side of the island, Driftwood Way.

The only people in NK capable of executing a coup are well-fed, so I don’t see that as a factor.
Mare, where’s your friend, south end or north end?
Weed is plentiful in North Korea, but its not very potent.
/Hitchens
Mare?
I would never say that crap, but my husband would say the last line for sure.
I’m texting my friend for the info, brad.
Vmax, you still got your bike? I could drive it to Texas for you. Should get it to Houston by 2016 at the latest.
Hitchens would have known there was supposed to be an apostrophe in there.
/Hotspur
Xbrad, she has a beach house, on Brighton Beach, a half mile from the ferry take a right.
The reason I make so many mistakes? I like to say stupid stuff fast.
Slowing down doesn’t work either. Trust me.
He has skills Mare. Can’t sing but he can play.

I saw Apostrophe open for the White Stripes at the Vic in Chicago.
“Slowing down doesn’t work either.”
Yeah, I know you’re right.
*signs up for another year of H2: Grammer are Funny lessons*
That’s way the fuck south, a good 20 miles away, Mare. And “the ferry” is a pretty vague way to describe a location on the island, as there are two completely separate ferry landings. The one on the south end of the island, and one just west of Coupeville heading to the peninsula.
Some good pics of the slide here:
http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2013/03/27/2940629/whidbey-island-landslides.html
That house at the bottom? It was on top before. Mom has friends that live near there, but none were affected, AFAIK.
Yes, Xbrad, I’ll never make that mistake again, EVER. Never, ever again. I swear. I promise.
The ferry coming from Mukilteo.
Michael, would you please shiv Xbrad for me? Thanks.
How come all the young guys today look like they haven’t shaved in four days, in a carefully controlled sort of way? Is there something cool about that?
This is the worst trend since wearing feed caps backwards.
Mare, take a sweet suck of my ass. I’m from the north end of the island. To us, “the ferry” is the Keystone ferry over by Ft. Casey.
xbrad, and you can slowly taste the leather of my boot/ You northenders are evidently assholes and I’m going to shun anyone I ever meet from the “north end.”
I think I just ate 3# of chicken thighs.
Meat sweats.
Michael, would you please shiv Xbrad for me? Thanks.
If he answers, I’m pretty sure he’s going to say no.

Only 3 lbs?
Sean, you are correct, I asked the wrong person.
DAMN IT!
Northenders are the ones the run the economy of the island. Southenders are all a bunch of California imports that are trying to turn the county blue. Fuck ’em.
Scott, it was timely that you linked your friend playing his music titled
“South Bound.”
He too, was probably trying to get away from “north enders.”
EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the strip of beach my friend has a place on, is a several generation owner. Most have money and spend it in Langley and what not.
DOWN WITH THE POOR NORTH ENDERS!!!
Only 3 lbs?
I wasn’t very hungry.
We’ve got a Naval Air Station on the north end. Langley has frou-frou antiques shops.
LET THE BOMBING BEGIN!!!
(but don’t hit that nice little diner on the corner where they serve a great breakfast cheap)
“I officially hate everyone who is not like me.”
That’s why it’s good to come here mundane!
((SOB…sniff)) Ok…
Can we pillage and burn down Hot Air tonight?
On Saturday, I picked up 50lbs of beef for the dogs. Tonight I got 40lbs of chicken necks for them. I still have 20lbs of gizzards from the last pickup. As long as the freezer doesn’t fail, the dogs are good for a while.
Go home, R2, you’re drunk.
http://tinyurl.com/cefv6ub
40lbs of chicken necks cost $30. The 8oz rib eye I got from the same butcher was almost $13. What a difference between human food and dog food.
Man, I wish I could find chicken necks that cheap. They make great stock.
Can we pillage and burn down Hot Air tonight?
Sure. Bunch of blowhards, as far as I can tell.
Can we pillage and burn down Hot Air tonight
Isn’t this like bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age? How will anyone know?
What a difference between human food and dog food.
My advice is to cultivate a taste for chicken necks.
I’m still pissed that the rest of the yankees discovered brisket. That cut used to be cheaper than ground chuck. Now it’s more expensive than round roast.
Mare?

We’re too old to change our ways now.
Heh
Call me old fashioned, but I am suspicious of bald goateed lesbians.
Pretty sure the new girl is supposed to buy the first round. That’s still the rule, isn’t it?
Leon, do not let that mufaku buy any rounds. You have to trust me. I have old pictures of what my liver used to look like when it was an innocent little kid.
Rosetta what color tutu are you wearing now? Do your pumps match? Have you waxed curls in your mustache yet?
Like a drive-by shooter, Rosetta commented and fled. Come back here, ya filthy, mangy, scurvy dog!
It’s not fair to my dog to compare him to Rosetta.
Dogs can’t get scurvy.
Evenin’ all.
What’s that smell?
Leon, if pedantry was a communicable desease, you would have been put in an isolation ward.
I was just noting that while it’s a perfectly fine derogatory epithet, it constitutes a biological impossibility.
And I’m smartass.
You’re an ass, you’re smart ergo. . .
Y’all use your tongue prettier than a $20 whore…
I’m not really very smart. I’ve been reminded of that frequently in life.
I’m an ass, though. That’s indisputable.
Duck Dynasty was funny tonight
Vman, are you going to sell your house or were you a renter?
My orange tree is blooming late this year. Wow it has more blooms than I have ever seen on it.
I may not be here to eat them makes me sad. Do they grow oranges in Houston?
No but they do in south Texas.
I hope to rent my house out Mrs Cyn. However the pay is good enough I should be able to keep this house and live in Houston as well.
What is south Texas Dave?
Sounds like a great plan, Vman.
I have some young relatives that are itching to leave parent’s home. I hope I have built in renters.
The Valley vman. Harlingen area. Lots of citrus farms.
This poat is making me cray.

VMax, if these young relatives include people who have tendencies to jump over policemen and trust fall over strangers, you may want to be a bit careful.
I was in Laredo / Noevo Laredo once. I missed Brownsville. But visited Juarez and El Paso.
