With his fashion phases
And his quarterly raises
Feels he's better than you and me

Suit and tie guy
Thinks he's real cute
In the bathroom for a toot
Until his nose starts to bleed

Suit and tie guy
I see he always hurries
I know he always worries
He's gonna die of a heart attack

Suit and tie guy
On his way to feeding
Or an important meeting
Just like a car on a track

Suit and tie guy
He travels between stations
With certain destinations
Never varying from that routine

Suit and tie guy
And he'll tell you in one word
That he is insured
And it's not as bad as it may seem

On a more serious note, there's parts of Canada that don't prepare for snow. Our roads are curved down on each side to help accommodate run off when they're plowed or when the snow melts.

I've heard places like Texas and Las Vegas don't do this with their roads and then suffer if/when stuff melts. My sister (who lives where GF came from) got a whack of snow one Christmas. Shut down the entire community. Then, the next day when the temps went back up to normal, they were flooded out because the sewers and roads couldn't handle the volume of water.

Like I always say....A little snow for a couple of days is neat and fun. A lot of snow for months is a form of punishment.

I hope yours is the former :thumbsup:

Our roads are crowned. The problem with snow, at least in southern Texas (think south of Dallas) is that we don't really have the infrastructure to deal with snowy or icy roads. Not many sand trucks, etc. There's not enough need for it with the little snow/ice that we get.

Jeez don't get me started. We had (and currently have) a mayor who claims that. "Not enough money in the budget for snow removal" and my personal favorite " We didn't suspect there would be this much snow". We've only had winters since....I don't know....the BEGINNING OF TIME :lol: So when our politicians make those claims, we the people tend to remember the lie...

They never clear our residential streets and one year the snow ruts were so big, we couldn't drive down our front street. In fact half of our city was impassable. Next year...we had a new mayor :)

What they also do is plow a road, then leave the plowed snow at the side of the roads claiming they don't have trucks to take it away. Yet, 180 miles north in a city our size, they do just that every year.

My niece had not been feeling well for about 8 days. Turns out the furnace was malfunctioning and she was in near toxic carbon monoxide levels. Not sure if it's accurate but the furnace people measured the CO in the house at 600ppm and she was told 700-800ppm can be fatal. She'll have the blood toxicology report in a couple days.

Check your CO monitors folks. This really cold weather has furnaces working overtime and a malfunction could be deadly.

Thanks RBP. Glad to hear she dodged that bullet!

I've always suspected our furnace as it's original with the house. We have a CO detector down here and two smoke alarms in the house. Kind of a weird story.

The night we set our clocks back in October one of our detectors started chirping every 15 minutes or so...at around 5am. I won't get into the details, but trying to figure out which one left three detectors with batteries ripped out and covers off :lol:

Bought new batteries, things were quiet. Then the same thing happened again two weeks ago. One of them started chirping at 5am, turned out it was the smoke alarm upstairs and again...all three detectors got dissembled so I could sleep. No new batteries this time because I had just bought some two months ago. Assembled detectors and the chirping stopped again.

All that to tell you that our CO detector down here has the same tone as a smoke alarm. I thought for a moment - I'm ripping out the batteries and what if it's a CO issue? :shock: I just tested it and the detector seems to be working.

I think any system that uses natural gas can produce it.

I was just reading about the symptoms. Sleepiness and headaches are prime indicators, but I assume your niece could supply more detail unfortunately.

Also, you're fortunate to live a building with other tenants. If it affects someone, you'll hear about it.

Signs carbon monoxide is building up:

Stale or stuffy air
Extreme moisture on windows and walls
Yellow flame, not blue, in natural gas appliances
Soot collecting near a gas appliance burner or vent
Pilot light keeps going out


Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

Headache and dizziness
Fatigue and weakness
Watering and burning eyes
Nausea and vomiting
Loss of muscle control

There was this wild thread on reddit (https://np.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/34l7vo/ma_postit_notes_left_in_apartment/cqvrdz6/?context=3)a few years back where a guy thought someone was fucking with him. He found strange post-it notes all over his apartment, and claimed that things were being moved around on him. Most of the replies were arm-chair lawyers/PI's saying "get a security camera" and shit. One person finally chimed in and said... do you have a CO monitor by and chance? The guy replied that he had one in a drawer and should pop the batteries in. When he did, started screeching right away.... Turned out he'd been getting poisoned in his own home and that's what was driving him slowly mad.


You guys should all have CO2 monitors that are plugged into the wall with battery back-ups, and check the expiry dates on the device - they don't last forever.. Obviously even a slow leak can make you very ill.

So I got a French Press for Christmas. It's a simple way to make coffee without using premade grounds and/or a drip machine.

The coffee snobs say you need to buy your own beans, buy a specific type of grinder, and use a very particular process to come up with 'a great cup of coffee.'

short version - grind beans, pour water over ground beans, wait for a specific amount of time, depress plunger and viola! Yummy coffee.


So Brilliance here (me), buys a ghetto grinder and some el cheapo beans to experiment with. Beans are Co-op's own generic brand :lol: Not exactly barista endorsed.

I bought what's called the Co-op French Roast beans and the description says - A dark bean with a smoky aroma, mild acidity and chocolatey hints in the aftertaste.

I grind up waaaay too much, the grounds I make are not uniform because of the cheap grinder (this is key for using a French Press) and I proceed to make two cups of ROCKET FUEL :shock:

The first cup made me grind my teeth, start shaking and wonder what the 7927651st place of Pi really was. Second cup, I'm sure the hair on my butt was sticking straight out.

I probably picked a bad blend to experiment with and my ratios were waaaay off in terms of coffee/water/steeping time :lol:


There is something attractive about making coffee with this thing. I just need to avoid the heart attack in the process.


*it was actually a really flavorful, kind of post-dinner specialty coffee a person would get while in a fancy restaurant.

you guys may jest...some of the videos and people who use French Presses are hilarious! :lol: Soooooo specific.


They insist you use a burr grinder, not a blade grinder. If the grounds are inconsistent you can't drink the coffee.

You should use soft water, not hard water. Because trace elements in the water and you can't drink the coffee.

You must use a ratio of 1:10 or so many grams of coffee, per volume of water. If not, you shouldn't drink the coffee.

You must steep it for four minutes exactly. Under that time makes the coffee weak, over that time makes it bitter and over extracted. You can't drink that coffee.

If you expose the beans to air for too long, they are ruined and you must throw them out. No coffee today.

If you expose the grounds from the beans to air longer than the time it takes to make the coffee, the grounds have spoiled and become 'rancid'.

I swear...most of these people have a 200 dollar burr grinder, a digital scale, the most expensive beans sold and will not 'contaminate' their equipment with anything less.

Water must be at 200 degrees. Not boiling and not any cooler.

ffs it's a glass carafe with a metal screen plunger :lol:

A few years back my brother took his first trip to Hawaii and it wasn't good.

He said they finished dinner one night and then all of the resort workers had these huge, spooky, too wide smiles plastered on their faces. They suggested that the guests walk up to an amphitheater on top of a hill nearby. Some guests moaned and said no thanks...the resort officials said we insist.

There was a tsunami warning and reports were it could be huge. So they all hiked up this large hill and were told they may be in danger. One of the resort people kept saying - It will only be from one to 24 hours, don't worry! Don't worry! My brother said the guy was smiling like a lunatic :lol:

Some minor flooding occurred at their beach and they were allowed to go back to the hotel after about four hours. My brother said the thing that bothered him was that no one was allowed to grab possessions from the rooms and they weren't told what the danger was until they were halfway up a hill. He said there was no organized plan, no high ground shelters in place, no transportation available to move thousands of guests to safety. He said it unnerved him because he never associated tsunami dangers with Hawaii and felt the management of the hotel was more concerned with tourism than safety.

Sorry to hear about your Dad Kevin. Gotta share some sad stuff that may help. My Dad started having breathing problems in 2015. Aug 2015 he had some X-rays and his doc said - 'These are just 83 year old lungs.'

His beathing got worse and in July 2016 he started coughing up blood one morning. We took him to the hospital. Four hours and one CT scan later he had cancer. Another week and few more scans and he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.

Doctor in emergency read the same report from those Aug 2015 initial X-rays and it said something about a large mass and other cancer indicators.
His family doctor totally missed it :(

We were since told that sometimes GP's miss the diagnosis because the X-rays mimic chest infections. A CT scan is the image to get.

What I have been struggling with and still find strange is how my Dad's family doc completely missed something, when a young emergency doctor who had never seen my Dad before looked at the same images and report, and he knew instantly to check for cancer.

Long one short, maybe get a second opinion for your Dad?

So that would be a federal ban? Can't you guys still buy automatic weapons with the right stamps there? I'm surprised bump stocks would be banned before full auto?

Yes. It's an NFA Class 3 item and it requires a $200 tax stamp. You also have to go through extra steps in the background check. There's also a shitload of paperwork not usual of regular gun purchases. But here's the problem: Once something is added to the registry, the price skyrockets to ridiculous amounts. It used to be that machine guns were sold side by side with ARs, and at comparable prices. Now, because of the stigma associated with them being an NFA class 3 item, pretty much only rich people can afford them. So while it's not unobtainable per se, it's effectively banned for regular people who don't have a gazillion dollars. And it'll be the same with bump fire stocks if they get listed as machine gun parts or whatever the hell the ATF is unilaterally trying to do... which they shouldn't be able to, because they have no constitutional authority to do it. Not to mention that there shouldn't even be an NFA restricted list to begin with, or an ATF, or any gun control laws here in the US at all, because they all violate the 2nd amendment of the Constitution.

Oh yeah, and that's just on the federal level. States have their own rules regarding NFA items as well. I could buy anything I want, because Georgia doesn't restrict the sale of NFA items, but RBP can't because you can't buy NFA items in Illinois.... and that's unconstitutional as well.

Yes. It's an NFA Class 3 item and it requires a $200 tax stamp. You also have to go through extra steps in the background check. There's also a shitload of paperwork not usual of regular gun purchases. But here's the problem: Once something is added to the registry, the price skyrockets to ridiculous amounts. It used to be that machine guns were sold side by side with ARs, and at comparable prices. Now, because of the stigma associated with them being an NFA class 3 item, pretty much only rich people can afford them. So while it's not unobtainable per se, it's effectively banned for regular people who don't have a gazillion dollars. And it'll be the same with bump fire stocks if they get listed as machine gun parts or whatever the hell the ATF is unilaterally trying to do... which they shouldn't be able to, because they have no constitutional authority to do it. Not to mention that there shouldn't even be an NFA restricted list to begin with, or an ATF, or any gun control laws here in the US at all, because they all violate the 2nd amendment of the Constitution. Our government likes to wipe their collective asses with that amendment.

You forgot the fact that civilians can only own automatic weapons that were manufactured prior to May 19, 1986 and that anything made after that date is for military and law enforcement use only. So part of the reason for the high cost of purchasing an automatic weapon is that there is a finite number of them out on the market.

We have a yearly family meeting about my Mom this week with the facility and some of it won't be pleasant.

Sister arrives, we catch up, we plan our itinerary for the meeting, I slag my brother, sister talks about grocery shopping for us, cooking some meals for me, makes plan to see her friends tonight...

and promptly passes out upstairs :lol:

She was up late last night with some old friends and drinking coolers until past two, which in her words was about 2.5 hours too late considering her age.

I love her like a sister..

So we tried a job jar in this house. Mom had seen it in a comic strip (Hi and Lois) and she writes a few slips with minor tasks on them.

Short background is that both of my parents were very hard workers, and nothing was ever left 'undone' in our house. If something needed to be done, it was done.

Little hal decides to take out all of the slips, write some new ones and see if anyone notices.

I get in from playing one day and all of the slips are on the table, both of my parents are sitting there.

My slips say - bake lots of cookies, wash all of hal's clothes, make macaroni and cheese (a favorite of mine when younger), put in a swimming pool, make cakes with chocolate icing.

To this day I can remember the look of both my parents trying not to laugh while attempting to scold me about respecting other peoples things in the house :lol:

Prelude: Mom and Dad buy a summer cabin, hal is 12.

*My Mom was a tireless housewife, nothing was ever neglected in our home of five people*

I make the mistake of bitching about, and then telling my Mom something needs to happen - Ma, I need THESE pants tonight! Wash them now would ya?

My Mom grabs me by the ear, takes me downstairs and says - hal, your father and I will be going away every weekend throughout the summer. It's time you learned a few things.

This is the washer, this is the dryer. Pay attention. (then she gives me step by step instructions, start to finish on how to wash and dry clothes)

I'm almost in tears by that point and my Mom asks what's wrong. I say - This is too complicated and I'm just a kid!!!! :(

My Mom then asks - So I guess you'll be coming with us every weekend to the cabin if you can't look after yourself.


:shock:

Man, hot sauce is the shit. I only use ketchup now when mixed with Franks on eggs. I must have 4 different types of hot sauce in my fridge :lol:

Have you ever made your own? A pal of mine got into it recently, he jars it in brine and takes the science seriously. His sauce it's so incredible. Seems like a fun little hobby.
