1. Central Illinois has remained flat and cold. No change in the weather or geography.
2. Putting on pants for church instead of wearing jeans like everyone else will result in the numerous insect bites on your ass. God provides humility at all times.
3. The ending of Breaking Bad was awesome. If you disagree, please explain in the comments. Also, you’re an ijit.
4. Why is that when you leave your house for a week, you always expect that it will be burned down or something?
5. Throw away bouquets of flowers before you leave. They smell like a really big fart after a week, or so I’ve heard.
6. Badfinger is a terrible name for a band, but they’re pretty good at the music thing.
7. Remember to turn off the comment thingy on your phone before you hand it to your 17 year old niece to play Candy Crush, because she WILL read aloud to the entire room, “MCPO Airdale on BBF, Girls and Guns….”
8. This is what my mom and dad look like online.

Hmmm.
Meh. I’ll give it an hour and see what happens.
Contrary to my prediction, yesterday was really fucking busy. All day.
That’s good, non?
I have to go into work at 3 today. Not 4. not 5. I feel cheated.
And, I was too tired to go to crackfat this morning. I just couldn’t get out of bed. The thing that sucks about waitressing is the “no breaks” thing. From 10:30 until 9 I was too busy to grab a bite eat. When I got cut after 9 I had to go sit down and eat before I cleaned up/did my side work. I felt woozy.

It was good, yes, MJ. But it would have been better if I had brought some power bars or something. I guess I should just constantly keep some in my bag.
Good idea, Car in. I have a Cliff Bar or two stashed in every bag just in case. How was Christmas? I haven’t really checked the blog, and the last I heard you didn’t have power.
It was, unfortunately, busy with not big spenders, bit tippers. Weird crowd, to be honest. I made good money, but the hard way. Some nights I can wait on 5 tables and get $20 + a table. Easy peasy. I made my $$ yesterday at $5 and $6 clips for most of the day. Small checks, etc.
Heh. Good one, Tiger.

Christmas was ok. Hectic. We got power back by the 24th, but by then I had bugged out to mil’s house. I had to drive back home, by my lonesome, the night of the 24th to take care of the dogs and clean the house for the 25th.
Fun times. Plus UPS didn’t deliver my presents, and now i have to mail shit.
I hate mailing shit.
Maybe Lauraw could have her monkeys pick them up for me?

Au contraire my young friend, Badfinger is an awesome name for a band.
Daddy’s Badfinger would be awesomer though.
>> I made good money, but the hard way.

Oh, Cyn. It didn’t suck. Many others up here didn’t have power, etc. That would have sucked. Mine just wasn’t fantabulous.

Christmas at my parents house was pretty interesting. They are in the middle of a kitchen remodel that was supposed to be done 2 months ago. The flooring has been taken up, put down, taken up, halfway put down, and will be taken up again. The appliances and countertops were supposed to be installed by the 24th, but with no floor…
I feel bad for them. I’ve never seen a project go so wrong for such a long period of time.
Don’t those things always take tons longer than you expect?
A little something for the ladies…………
So Hotspur is remodeling your parents house? Cool, MJ.

“No one would run a marathon if they had to sign a confidentiality agreement first.”
*snicker*
If I had to, I would. Or half marathon. Whole is too far. But I don’t talk about it because I’m amazing or anything (my time is certainly not stellar), but only because it’s just a fun/amazing thing to do. Like when you have a wonderful vacation and you can’t stop telling people about things you saw.
*shrugs.
I talk about it before to shame myself into doing it. I can’t not do it, because everyone KNOWS I signed up. lol
Mare, that gif can’t possibly be real.
hahaha…Carin, I was not referring to you at all.
“No one would run a marathon if they had to sign a confidentiality agreement first.”
I’m reminded of this joke:
Preacher Norton wakes up to a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning and decides he just has to play golf.
He pretends he’s sick and convinces the associate pastor to preach for him that day, then heads out of town to a golf course about 50 miles away so he won’t run into anyone from his church.
On the first tee he sees he has the entire course to himself: Everyone else is in church!
Watching from heaven, Saint Peter turns to the Lord and asks, “are you going to let him get away with this?”
Just then Pastor Norton hits the ball. It heads straight for the pin, drops just short of it, rolls up, and falls into the hole – a 420 yard hole in one!
Astonished, Saint Peter looks at the Lord and asks, “Why in Heaven did you let him do that?”
The Lord smiles and replies, “Who’s he going to tell?”
So Hotspur is remodeling your parents house? Cool, MJ.
We may be expensive, but we’re slow.
hahaha…Carin, I was not referring to you at all.
I’m just saying that people don’t always talk about these things to brag.
Although I’ve run into douchbags. There are plenty of those. But, MOST of the folks running those marathons? I mean, seriously, you would applaud them too because they are obviously really trying to accomplish something.
Sox is a Cowboy fan? Somebody wake up XB and find out how that happened.
Well, it is kind of like cross fit, they talk about it incessantly bragging or not. Deserved or not, that’s why people jokingly call it a cult.
It was zero when I landed and zero when I left.
It was worse on the days that were 20 and windy, though.
MJ, is your avatar the guy from Breaking Bad?
Yeah. I have that same clueless look so I thought it was fitting.

Who?
Have any of you used a Christian health insurance co-op(?)?
2013 had too much vagina in it. I hope I never see another one like it. The year I mean.
So tomorrow morning pot will be legal in Colorado. I love that the same people who spent the last decade talking about how we should legalize pot and tax it and how many wonderful programs we could fund are suddenly shocked to discover that the government is actually going to tax the stuff, and at 30% rates as well. Why, it’s almost as if they were bullshitting us the whole time. Or they were simply too stupid to understand how the world works.
Reality is a bitch.

Each day after, not as bad. Just applied heat. I figure as long as nothing was oozing or feverish, I had to slog through it. That and I’m practicing for commiecare.

I have a friend who’s going to join one of those Christian co-op healthcare things. She’s read a lot about it.
It doesn’t pay for things that are a result of bad life-style choices or are non-of anyone’s else’s business.
Abortion. Birth control. etc.
I’d really like to get insurance tailored to my lifestyle. It would cover sports injuries, liver damage, and that’s about it.
I resolve to write more, and more exhaustively, about gardening.
Right here. For you people.

You know, you’re right. I’m going to keep posting about crackfat too. Perhaps my workouts in more detail?
(I actually went to bed last nigh thinking about what I should plant this year … I’m going to try maybe TWO tomatoes and that it – i’ll get some super hybrid and try to to get them to vine really tall to avoid the blight in the dirt …)
I’ve resolved to grow a garden this next year. *Buys grow lights and hydroponic equipment*
I’m skipping tomatoes entirely this year. The blight is just getting worse every year. Not worth the space they take up.
I’ve resolved to make less funneh, to give some of you cretins a chance to catch up.
Mind you, not to comment less, just make ’em less funneh.

Don’t forget the carbs.
Lauraw, mine will be more experimental. If I can get two or three to grow, with a shit-tonne of care, at least I’ll get a few tomatoes to eat until the blight dies out in 5 years or so.
HA! No worries, we’re sending in a cult rescue team. With booze.

Thanks, Carin, I have been reading about the Christian Health share deals and I’m looking for ways to avoid going broke for healthcare. I’m particularly pissed because of our good health we’ve be fortunate to have just catastrophic care, at semi-reasonable cost.
Now, with assfacecare our premiums have doubled and our deductible has doubled. This administration will rot in hell for the crap they’ve done to this country.
NOT HEALTH CARE……HEALTH INSURANCE.
Man, the dummies are even getting me to say it.
Have any of you used a Christian health insurance co-op(?)?
I haven’t used one, but I did a lot of reading on Medi-share and I know a few people at my church are in it. Looked legit. I was considering going that route if my work insurance got too pricey.
Mark Steyn is on RUsh.
The conditions for Christian Health Share.
Qualifications for joining are simple. To be CHM members, participating adults must:
• be Christians living by biblical principles
• abstain from the use of tobacco and the illegal use of drugs (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
• follow biblical teaching on the use of alcohol
• attend group worship regularly if health permits (Hebrews 10:25)
Uh oh.
Medi-Share is the one I was looking at also, Leon.
Thank you, any info will help.
I’m on day 3 of eating prime rib for lunch, and I’m not even close to tired of it.
When I get rich, this is lunch erryday.
Which one’s the tough one, Mare? Alcohol or wacky tobacky?
Don’t know if you saw this yesterday, laura, but this song reminded me of you.

Also, Christian Health Ministries.
Thanks beasn.
We’re fucked.
Biblical use of alcohol.
No wacky tobacky for me. Also no illegal drugs, shoot no over the counter drugs either.
Mare, I’m pretty sure “biblical use of alcohol” just means not drinking ’til you black out on a regular basis.
Oh..
Guess I’m out on that option.
Wonder what the Wiccan plan looks like…
Wait, what is the biblical use of alcohol?
Do not get thee drunk on wine?
I’m actually okay on that too.
Wonder what the Wiccan plan looks like…
Probably like an empowered vegan feminist with hairy armpits and sideburns. I know there are exceptions. I haven’t met them.
Like most of you, I just want the government to leave me alone and get out of my already well run life.
Insurance is a scam.
Jesus’s first miracle was transmuting water to wine, so it’s clearly okay to drink it. Drinking ’til you’re bereft of reason is sinful, though, as reason is a gift from God and to reject it is to reject Him.
The Co op that HotBride manages is full of wiccan types. They are some of the most inked up, pierced up, rasta skanks you’d ever want to meet. Hilarious thing is they constantly complain of fear of sexual harassment. She’s too polite to tell them they have zero to fear.
But mare, they think you’re not doing it right.
Hairy calf chicks are as safe as a girl can be from sexual harassment.
As is any white girl with dreadlocks. Or a tattoo of a knife.
They are some of the most inked up, pierced up, rasta skanks you’d ever want to meet.
I don’t think you can be a wiccan and a rastafarian at the same time.
Most wiccans don’t know that, Sean. IME, they treat non-monotheistic traditions as elements of a salad bar.
Maybe not, Sean. I was more referring to the condition of their hair.
I think shit lives in there.
Hilarious thing is they constantly complain of fear of sexual harassment. She’s too polite to tell them they have zero to fear.
I don’t know, if I was that way I’d be afraid of some bull dyke cornering me in the soy-dairy-alternative aisle. Thank God that I’m heterosexual and have a penis instead.

I worry about GMO, but only because I don’t trust modern nutritional science to get the correct inputs to the human body right. The stuff we co-evolved with may not be perfect, but the conservative position has got to be that it hasn’t outright murdered us either.
Worth noting: celiac disease was virtually non-existent before we replaced all of the world’s wheat with GMO wheat. Might be a coincidence. Probably not.
How sad that one of the most popular posts there was the 2012 Year in Review.

The medical community is just now catching up; it’s a relatively new phenomenon.

I know, it’s a pickle. There was an article awhile back about getting a 12-fold increase in rice paddy output just by changing the system a bit rather than the plant, and that puts Borlaug’s 7-fold wheat output to shame, without needing any radiation. I credit Norman as a great scientist, but he was after yield uber alles, and I think that hurt the crop in the long run.

I have no comment. I just wanted to make sure no one missed this.
Oh, no, Chief! We’ll keep her in our prayers ♥♥♥
We have our fingers and toes crossed here.
Same here, Chief
I assume it’s not a “routine” test; what made the doctors think she needed testing in the first place? I hope that little muffin is OK 😦
Damn.
Double-crossed here, Chief.
She has been consuming mass quantities of water and eats like a truck driver. Additionally, she has been waking up in the middle of the night, both hungry and thirsty. Finally, there is some family history on Michael’s mother’s side of the family.
Awww…Prayers for sweet little DG.
Hopefully she’s just going through a growth spurt. One of my nieces ate an entire steak, potato, and dessert this year too. Pretty funny to watch!
Those are some definite signs. If true, it’s good that they’re catching it early.
Really, I hope it’s just a growth spurt and dry air.
Sounds like all the signs. My cat had the same symptoms, along with peeing like Rosetta after his 5th round. Prayers for DG.
Poor baby. Crossing everything here, Chief.
When will you know for sure?
Prayers up MCPO. Been there.
Other big signs are constant, and I mean constant, urination and losing lots of weight.
Yeah, my cat went from 18# down to 14# before we caught it.
I have also heard of type 1 teenage girls slacking on insulin as a method of weight loss. Don’t do this.
Hope the little tyke is okay, Chief.
We won’t know until the test results come back. I assume a week to 10 days. . .
By the way, in today’s episode of “Yes, they really do think you are that stupid.”
Minimum wage goes up $0.45 here tomorrow.
State Dems are running around crowing, saying it is “a major step to help lift thousands of Connecticut households out of poverty.
Lemme see here…. Most minimum wage jobs are part-time, but let’s go with 40 hours.
40 x .045/hour = an extra $18/week. Gross. Probably works out to maybe $14 net.
Seriously? The difference between being poor and not being poor is $14? (not even taking into consideration the decreased purchasing power the minimum wage worker will have after the increased labor costs are factored back in to prices.)
Yes, they really do think we’re that stupid.
Sorry your family is having to go through the stress and uncertainty, Chief. Hope Debra turns out to be just fine.
Thanks, Hotspur. Heading up there in a week or so. . .
Wiser….they’re the worst kind of idiots. They’re idiots who are certain of, and condescending about, being smarter than everyone else.
Makes me want to drive into a fucking bridge embankment.

The argument that they’re using is that it’s cruel to the animals, which seems to be the opposite of what I’ve heard elsewhere; those animals have it good.
If the horses could answer, I suspect they’d rather have jobs and a reason to be kept alive. The invention of the automobile was devastation for horses. I also imagine carriage rides in NYC beats the shit out of hauling everythingincreation for the Amish.

Basic information is missing, SIGACTs are all COIN focused when the scenario is supposed to be decisive action, and what products are “finished” are usually pulled from other scenarios with little change, meaning that there are huge discongruities.
Mommmm, Colorado Alex is high again,
Choom Alex.

Actually, no. I’m stuck at work. Interestingly enough, my boss sent out an email today with a pasted section from the company policy regarding random drug testing.

Party pooper.
I am punching out for the day.
Heh…legal marijuana strikes again. I know a guy who is a licensed ORGANIC marijuana grower in Cali. Really? His hippie ass is always afraid of the criminal growers now. He had to BUY A GUN!!!! Horrors.
BTW, I don’t think that the POTOCALYPSE! will occur tonight and tomorrow. However, you will see more vagarants on the streets in the coming months, with the associated problems, as homeless move to Denver and other cities.

When I talk to soldiers deploying to Afghanistan about the IED threat, I always mention opium growers and ask if anyone is from Northern California. The guys from Cali always get it pretty quick what I’m talking about.
Can you use your EBT card to buy medical marijuana, or is Colorado still a racist state?
I’m going to be a vagrant in Colorado. Choom!!!
Yep. Gotta go. I’ll be back soon. SOON.
>> What kind of desperate would you have to be to engage in a sexual act with Kathy Griffin?
Why you gotta fuck up my holiday with gross shit?
*beats you with a Louisville Slugger*
CoLex, a friend of mine is CDR 3/8CAV, and getting his guys to shift their thinking from COIN to DA is driving him nuts.
When did xbrad have a stroke?
Maybe Oso stole his identity.

The problem is that people either don’t want to transition, or they think we’ll be fighting the Soviets in the Fulda Gap.
Unchain my heart!!

The shit is catching apparently. We should all be concerned.

This morning in the shower would be my guess, but that’s kind of a personal question to ask a guy.
Alex, are you working healthcare.gov or something?
If COIN = Counterinsurgency and DA = Dat Ass, then XBrad’s comment kinda makes sense.
DA = Decisive Action.
This is creeping me out.
Dispeptic Asshole.
DA is Russian for DUH.
Pepe – I want to meet her. . . right after I hit the lottery.

Beeg dammy.
I don’t fully understand why, but I’m going out for a few hours this evening.
KMN.
When did Wiser get a Subaru?

This is creeping me out.
OMG That creeped me out too!
I mean, c’mon, she was driving with only one hand while taking that selfie! One Hand, People, ONLY ONE HAND! The humanity!
shhhhh, it’s time for Mare’s big solo

Cocktail #1 poured. A Little Bit Zombie cued up on NetFlix.
Chinese food just arrived. Yay.
mmmmm Possum fried rice.
Did anybody travel back in time to warn anybody else not to do something in 2014 today?
I’m actually having General Tso’s Possum.
I wont judge.
I’m jealous of you people who can get food delivered. Nearest good Chinese food is 100 ,miles away. Nearest crappy Chinese buffet is 35 miles away.
Good grief. Where do you live? Montana?
Drive-by “happy new year” comment
I was listening to a football game this afternoon while working in my shop. The female play-by-play announcer (Beth ???) has a truly horrible voice. The way she called the game wasn’t bad, but her voice grates.
I live on a ranch in New Mexico. Haven’t had food delivered since I was in college in ’85. I miss it.
Wow, Texas A&M plays worse defense than Dallas. Didn’t think it was possible.
Ok, the ranch part is cool. Not getting food delivered sucks.
Watching hockey: B’s vs Islanders. The wood stove is cranked and making me sleepy. Wake me up at 11:59 please.
*judges
Looks like my falling asleep on the couch nixed the going out plans.
The staying asleep for the rest of the night plan was nixed by Sparky going insane from the popping of fireworks. Yay.
Happy New Year (almost) Peeps and Peepers. M’wah!
**tosses Sparky a milkbone**
This was pretty damned weird.
I was typing a comment and firefox crashed, hard, All tabs gone, cookies gone.
I was trying to wish all the Hostages a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year, except for Wiser, but not Wiserbud.
I love you mugs.
Happy New Year!
yeah, I had to go splain to the neighbor kids with fireworks about the concept of Central Standard Time. After the beagle hugged my feet for 30 minutes.
I was polite but firm.
DiT got firm?
Atta boy!!! Good for you!
I firmly kicked over an open can of Bud and said I’m callin the cops if you assholes don’t knock this off.
Seemed to reach them. In their young hearts, where dreams come from.
I did not sleep last night.
The New Year will happen without me.
Goodnight, folks.
Lauraw,
You and Scott sleep well.
I wish you kids a better 2014!
Hey now, wp mention over at the HQ by a commenter.
Bcoch,
Where?
Comment 430 in the ONT
Rodge,
Got it…
mmm, Mac and Cheese recipe, looks great!
This Texas A&M/Duke game is fun!
My excitement is barely contained. *yawn*
You only have a half hour, chief. Buck up!
Ho. Lee. Shit.
A&M lucks out again!
With A&M’s defense, I’m not counting Duke out of this one, yet.
Duke is one tough team. Play after play.
I guess Florida State is every bit as good as advertised, after throttling this team.
I should clarify: I could have had the chinese food delivered, but I actually sent my wife out to get it.
leon, LIKE A BOSS!
Happy New Year, buddy!
Happy New Year to all you Hostages. You make life a little better!
THE BALL IS DROPPING AN HOUR EARLY!
Unlike Jay, whose balls never did drop.
Goodnight.
Mebbe next year will be better.
I hope it is…
Happy New Year!!! (I may have had a wee bit too much champagne)
Fireworks already going up. Dogs are skittish. See you guys tomorrow.
Happy New Year H2 !
Not yet, still got 20 mins.
And another Capt and Coke.
Haha, frightened correspondent coming up on Red Eye. Funny stuff!
not bad aggies
I’m pleased to see the first comment of 2014 was an insult.
In true H2 fashion.
happy new year central time you assholes.
Well done, xbrad. Way to ring in the new year.
1 more minute!
Happy Freakin New Year!
Happy New Year!
*scrolls up*
Aggies won?
aggies won
Happy New Year (almost) to all the Mountain Standard Time hostages!
So, what’s it like in the future? Any flying cars?
It smells like…Progress!
Happy New Year all ya’ll !
As a simple, superstitious man from 2013, your new-fangled inventions and strange fashions confuse and frighten me.
No flying cars, but there was a motorcycle in the air.
So there’s that!
You truly live in an age of wonders, sir.
Happy New Derp!
The bourbon my secret Santa sent is fan-fucking-tastic.
Thank you.
So………..
….am I the only one still up from 2013?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Have any of you used a Christian health insurance co-op(?)?
There are snakes and laying-on-of-hands. Creeped me out.
Oh, come on, People! Nobody ever goes to Church in North Carolina? They are just RattleSnakes…
Maybe time for a NewYears Resolution!
*Gives Ms. Mare a Fresh Bale of Hay and an AnkleRub*
Wakey wakey. Happy New Year.

Ms. Cyn, sounds more like Roofies…. Where the heck is Rosetta?
Indeed, Ms. Carin! And Happy New Year to the rest of Y’all! Off to MouseHunt…
Happy hunting Sox.
I got up at 3:00 when part of the pellet stove decided to fall off.
And then again at 7:00 when Bubba had to pee.
It’s ok, tomorrow I can sleep in until 4:00 AM.
Morning, children. Happy New Year.
Was supposed to go to church @10, but we got 4 inches of snow already, and it’s not supposed to stop until 2pm. It would take us 2 hours to shovel, and it would be easy to miss the driveway if we didn’t. Crap.
That gun registration story that Mare linked to?
Not a peep about it in the local paper.
That’s because you only report things that unusual or newsworthy, Scott. Duh.
Lots of news about shootings last night.
Good thing those old white guys got their guns registered.
Morning.
kinda interesting

Got back to the land of the cold last night.
I miss the beach already.
I got a NEW POAT started
