Well, so far I can't get the damn thing to work at all.

Most of you know I'm in touch with my Scottish ancestry. In Scotland, New Year's is called "Hogmanay," which is a Gaelic word. Most Hogmanay celebrations are similar to ours, except that at midnight they practice "first footing." It means that after midnight, they go around visiting people, and the first person to cross their threshold (i.e. the first foot through the door) after midnight receives a gift from the homeowner.
Of course, real Scotch (which they just refer to as "whiskey," because Scotch is just whiskey made in Scotland) is key to all of this.
The Scots spell whisky without the 'e' in it.

Starting tomorrow I'l be at fortyrod54321@gmail.com.
Enough aggravation with juno.
Spread the word.

WOW!!!
Terrific.
Happy 2017 to all.

In basketball! Football is far to genteel a sport.
Yer azz!

Is there a difference 'twixt a "Snafu"... and a "FUBAR"?
ts
They aren't spelled the same. Other than that not much difference.

Mine were done in 2003, a week part.
I couldn't see red, a serious problem when half my appointments were at night. I still wear glasses to see anything inside 20 inches, but it's a marvelous change for 20/200 right, and 20/ 250 left, and cataracts to boot.
A side benefit is like an old detergent commercial: my "whites are whiter and my brights are brighter", and I see everything about 50% bigger.
The procedure has improved a lot over the years

Maybe my sense of humor is stunted, but I don't think that's funny. Sorry.

Gilbert Erector Sets would have been a fine training device for those.
Ah, the days of my youth when I built entire universes with erector, Lincoln and American Logs, bricks and other gadgetry, most with electric motors..... and nary a computer chip in the lot.

Assault with a ton or two of motor vehicle is justification for shooting the driver.

Wouldn't it be wonderful... and hilariously refreshing... if someone like Steve Martin responded to these sorts of criticism with words like "My comments were made in tribute to a friend and fellow actor. I intended no offense to her nor to her memory, but if you will tell me exactly what I said that you found offensive I'll be happy to say those same words as often as I can."

That's a relief, Allie. I couldn't begin to imagine anyone calling you a guy.

P.O.O.P.
(See my line below.)

Sounds like a terrific Christmas gift.
Are you going to change your alias to Utah Barrack.... MISTER president?

My daughter and her husband managed to get up here from California and my son and grandson called Christmas morning. I'm finally in pretty good health and my little dog loves me.
Can't ask for much more than that.

Barge Cement worked well. Surprised I hadn't thought of it myself. Got several tubes in different locations in my shop.
Garage door is fixed. Loose bolts in the side rails let it slide out far enough to jam the dang thing.
-
Thanks to you both and a Merry Christmas (even if my garage door busted last night and I can't get out of the house) to everyone.

I love the look of snow, on Christmas cards, calendars, advertisements, family photos, etc.
I HATE 3 1/2 inches in my yard in the last five hours and more to come.
Guess it beats other places I've lived... like Utah, Oregon, Illinois, the Carolinas......!
I moved from all of them. Got nowhere left to go... and it'll warm up here before long.
Merry Christmas to you all.
Finally stopped with 6 1/2", the most we've seen since moving here. I may have to go out tomorrow and buy a snow shovel.
I haven't owned nor used one since 1972. Not sure I still remember how. Good thing it doesn't have any moving parts nor a computer chip or electric device anywhere on it.

..... A really nice 6 oz pocket or hip flask marked "Fine British Pewter, Sheffield, England" and bearing two logos in small circles, one with a sea horse and the other with a triangle divided horizontally with a "B" in the top half and a "PC" in the lower.
This was a gift from a fraternity brother for my graduation from college and he had it engraved with my name, a floral scroll, and "Private Reserve" on the convex face. It is in really good condition and I have never carried it. I decided it would be perfect to transport my Robitussin when I'm out and about, but the cork has shrunk a bit and the adhesive holding it in the cap has failed.
Would Duco Cement work to fix it in place?

That kid has a lot of raw talent and I am tickled to see that she is getting the help she needs. With some more maturity and a little professional training she could be marvelous by the time she's 20.

Stupid dang game. I got bored after about 86 rounds.

All this week we have had predictions of clear weather and temperatures in the high 50s.
All this week it has rained every day and never been warmer than 52.
Not a single weather predictor has been fired nor forced to quit... nor run out of town on a rail wearing a feather coat.

Now THAT'S what a Mae West should really look like.

So.... how does that account for all the dumbass things I did after I turned 35?
