This is the raw wood I started with. I had a specific, old 50's Sears and Roebuck look I was going for, and I really liked the characteristics of this Ponderosa Pine.

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq223/kmdracer/20171128_160236_zpsgcudjhgp.jpg

The rest was sanding, shaping the edges, 3 coats of stain (2 different colors) 5 coats of wax, burnishing to OEM shiny black plastics for a more worn look, etc.


Love these kind of pics. Nice looking wood, looks solid is that a native pine?

As far as I kniw, ponderosa is native to North Amerca. Iirc, it's fairly slow growing for Pine. There's one on my family land in Mississippi that is over 200 years old, trunk is about 3ft in diameter. It was (and still is ( my favorite tree when I was youbg.

Welp, the place I was buying all my dog food from (chewy.com) has now started collecting state AND local sales tax. :| Still, they have better prices than every local retailer and free shipping, so I order it and it shows up on my doorstep 2 to 3 days later, so the convenience is worth it still.

Ours often arrives next day. It's crazy.

As for the taxes, you'd be paying those locally, and technically you owe them if not collected, so that doesn't get under my skin.

Most of the stuff they ship to me comes from Dallas, and it's usually here in 2 days, it all depends on when I place my order, but it's never more than 3 days.

As far as the taxes go, the only reason online retailers are collecting tax now is because states have been trying to strong arm them into collecting it because the states can't keep their spending under control and were whining about all the tax money they were losing to the online retailers.

Sorry to hear Porky. If she was driving a rental I would suspect the rental company is liable, they pay, and they will go after her separately.

With this new climate of male oppression, it seems we have to work 10x as hard to get into the good graces of women. No matter what we say or do, we should always do more according to them.

Why does this feel like a HUGE step backwards for feminism and equality?

We're right back to the 1800's where men had to come callin' and ask permission to court a woman, on her terms.

So why not take it back 10000 years and start bashing them on the head again, dragging their unconscious bodies to the cave, and really start disrespecting their sleepy asses???

A couple of weeks ago I forgot my wallet when I went to the grocery store, so on top of not being able to pay for the groceries (luckily it was just a few things), I also felt like an idiot. I had looked into the Samsung Pay app on my phone a long time ago, but the credit union I use wasn't available on the app. Checked last week and now my credit union is available on Samsung Pay. Added my debit card, got it all verified with my bank, and decided to give it a go. It's actually pretty slick. I've used it the last 3 times I've been to the grocery store now and if I'm a dumbass again and forget to bring my wallet when I go out, I can still pay for everything. It's not 100% accepted everywhere yet, but more and more places are doing it. Pretty soon you won't even need credit cards/debit cards any more, everything will be right on your smartphone.

How secure is Samsung Pay?

Samsung has partnered with key financial institutions to safeguard your personal, transactional, and payment information. Samsung Pay uses tokenization and authentication methods to secure your information. In addition to the security measures implemented by Samsung Pay, Samsung’s KNOX service constantly monitors suspicious activity within the device to protect from any malicious attacks.

When you Add a Card

When you add your payment card to Samsung Pay, the information is encrypted and sent to Samsung servers and, ultimately, to the card issuer's payment network (i.e., Visa®, MasterCard®, or American Express®) for approval. A one-time password (OTP) may be requested by the card issuer to verify you are the cardholder. Should your card be lost or stolen, this will prevent the card from being added to Samsung Pay fraudulently.

Once your card is approved, the payment network creates a digital card number, or token. The token substitutes the payment card's number with a unique alphanumeric identifier, generated using proprietary algorithms. Tokenized data is not mathematically reversible and is useless unless you have the original key used to create the token, making this more secure than sending your actual card number.

This process takes place every time you add a payment card. A new token will be generated even if you are attempting to add a card recently removed.

Samsung does not store or have access to the payment information added to Samsung Pay. The last four digits of the card number will be displayed on the card image in Samsung Pay to help you manage your cards.

When you Make a Payment

When you make a payment, you will need to authenticate by using your fingerprint or Samsung Pay PIN before the information can be sent to the payment terminal. The merchant will only receive a token, and your payment information will be kept secure. The token will be sent to the payment network, where it will be decrypted and verified against the information stored in a secure vault on internal networks. Once authenticated, the payment will be approved and sent back to the merchant. Only the payment network and your bank will have information about the transaction.

If you Lose Your Device

If your device is ever lost or stolen, Samsung offers a free service to remotely lock or erase Samsung Pay. The service also has the ability to locate your device and erase all your stored personal information.

I haven't had cable for 15 years...always got stuff off the internet and was an early Netflix customer.

I remember my bro in law being so choked because I'm getting all HD channels over the air and my TV (more or less the same as mine - his is a 50" mine is a 40") looks so much clearer because :canada: cable squished the signal somewhat until recently. (I understand that has changed)

Was leaving the parking lot today and there was a big traffic jam to get out because building security had stopped a dude right at the exit, blocking one lane.

Right as I was coming through, the cops showed up and got the guy out of his SUV. I see the front of his car is all jacked up and, being nosy kept my window down to listen to them chatting. Driver was maybe 55, wearing business attire. Cops go "you been drinking tonight," and he slurs out "ya.. couple.. couple wines." They go "... do you know what you hit?" He goes "ya... I know." They go, well what... and he admits "oh, a couple cars." They say sir, is this your vehicle and he goes "No... it's a company car."

For me, I've found that when I'm buying basically any kind of sneaker type shoe, if I buy Reebok, they last me nearly forever. If I buy Nike, they wear out in 6 months. Same thing when I buy steel toe work boots. I used to buy nothing but Wolverine because they were comfortable and lasted forever. Now I can't even get a 6 months out of them before they start falling apart. I've switched to Caterpillar work boots and these things are rock solid and last forever.

And yeah, as for those 'brand' shoes, that's a lot of what Payless Shoes sells down here. They are less expensive but boy do you get what you pay for.


different brands wear out at different times because of different materials and different processes?

amazing......... :-s

I'm talking about footwear that's supposed to be quality stuff :stfu:

My brother is arriving in mere moments, I hear that.

My sister sent a fuckload of small gifts and tins of fudge (she makes fudge for about 30 people every year).

I have this ghetto ceramic Xmas tree that's about 14 inches high. My version of not celebrating this year by not putting up a real tree and decorating the house.

So I'm wrapping a few gifts for my Mom, I set out the stuff my sister sent...and I start getting a little melancholy and misty eyed :x

My sister just sent a box by Ace courier. Kind of an old school courier company.

I happened to be home and see this 109 year old black dude walk up to my step holding just a hand written waybill (brought back total PTSD from my old job).

I ask if I can help? He says - I just wanted to make sure someone was home because you heard of those people in the States stealing deliveries? I say yes.

Then he goes back to get the box.


If it was UPS or Canada Post the dude would have just dropped the box on the step. I caught one of those fucks not even bothering to ring the doorbell one year for his delivery
and told the story here :lol:

Remember me bitching about the brother who could only afford small gifts for his only sister and brother? (45 dollars total). His wife just called and said her jacket was 250 and his was 490 on sale!

He's out at Southcenter Mall, which is huge place and completely packed with people from what his wife was telling me.

So he gets on the phone and asks me to check one of his coats (he has two here already...ahem) for his wallet. I want to make him sweat so I say - No man, nothing in your coat. He gets a little pissy because they are in a huge mall and he's gone to a few stores already.

Then I get nice and say - Just kidding, it's right here! Next thing out of my mouth is - You don't fucking expect me to drive down to that snakepit now to deliver it, because I will not. He gets pouty and says - I guess my wife can write a check if she has to. I hear his wife yell in the background, I have debit cards and we've already bought stuff...quit harassing your brother. :lol:

My next call will be to the police with a description of his rental vehicle, his description and a tip saying this guy is driving without a license or insurance :) Feel the love fuckhead...

bingo..they come here for a six day visit and I shit you not. They have suitcases and items in three rooms upstairs.

You see, this is where my selfish complaints come from. He takes over every place he inhabits, and doesn't care about what was there before he walked into the room.

I'm supportive of people who have done well in life, but his level of want vs need is off the chart.

I can hardly wait until tomorrow, when I can return this house to a level of simple need and cleanliness. You know....only one computer and phone per room sort of thing? :lol:

12-28-2017, 08:32 PM
Ah, brotherly love!

He's 6"4' and used to pick on me endlessly growing up.

Years ago I was on the phone and he thought it would be funny to grab my arm, wrench it up behind my back and apply pressure.

So I lost my mind. I dropped the phone, chased him into the kitchen and threw an overhand haymaker Rocky Marciano would have been proud of.

He knew I was going to clock him, so he turned away and kind of dropped his shoulder cowering and put his head down.

I ended up rabbit punching him in the back of the neck hard... and hitting his back so he collapsed on the kitchen floor.

He starts whining and screaming from the floor - That's not right! You can't use that self defense shit on me! That's not fair!!!

My Dad was sitting at the kitchen table and I thought that was it. I'm kicked out of the house because we had a no violence policy.

My Dad then says - I told you Dave. One of these days hal is going to repay you for the way you've treated him. You deserved that.

I was furious and screamed at my bro - You want to continue this outside in the park??? Let's go you fucking bully!!! :x

Dad asked me to quit swearing and made my brother apologize :lol: :lol:

He's given me a modicum of respect since I've been primary care giver for my Mom and Dad.

But as I told my sister, that doesn't erase years of abuse and disrespect. Apologies do that and his ego is just too big...

We've had a few life changing moments like the kitchen incident above... Again, sister says a lot changed that day because he became scared of me :lol:

I had the ideal quitting situation. No job, no stress and a supportive room mate (my Dad).

I was a heavy smoker (over 25 per day) for over 30 years.
