I stopped watching a few years ago, but, If they are willing to pay me $100 to view it, I'm in.

I have always been very frugal when it comes to food purchases. Now my penny pinching habits have been tested to the max. The most annoying thing in my area is that the two (non-Walmart) grocery stores seem to be coordinating their sales so the both have the same items on sale. Their regular...

It is very peaceful in the snow. The cabin is cozy with a propane wall heater (wood heat is way more work than it is worth). I head back to my house 200 miles south around New Year as the snow gets too deep by then. Walking the dogs or making my way to the outhouse in a blizzard or when it is...

I didn't do a great job at saving, but I decided my body didn't want to work much longer once I turned 62. I was able to buy a small unfinished cabin in northern Wisconsin where I spend much of the year. The cabin doesn't have electricity, and it is so far from a cell tower I couldn't always...

I forgot to check back after my procedure. That over the counter prep of Bisacodyl laxative pills and Miralax in Gatorade worked like a dream. Much less disgusting taste and it was a better clean out than the prescription prep I had used in the past. The photos they gave me showed everything...

I'm getting ready for Superbowl weekend of a "soft diet" with the clean out on Monday. Apparently the insurance companies are starting to save money by making the patient pay for the clean out. No prescription for colonblow3000 for me. I had to buy my own supply of Miralax, Gatorade and...

Mine is scheduled for Feb 14. Happy Valentine's day!

SSN-686 here.    I can honestly say I never adulterated anyone's food with bodily fluids.      I did once 'season' the Supply Officer's pancakes with tabasco.     I did also witness a Sonar Girl making a coffee run and he used his 'member' to stir a Chief's coffee.

I was a cook on a submarine.  One of my buddies was giving a new guy a tour of the boat.  He popped into the galley where I was preparing lunch and introduced me as Tommy Ptomaine trying to scare him a bit.   Lucky for me that name stuck.  Before that, I was known by the name of one of my...

Hermantown alumni checking in just to let Andy know he is not the only one interested in this subject.

When I moved to Wisconsin it took me a while to figure out what they called Spanish hamburger was actually just a sloppy joe.

The last movie I saw in a theatre was Dances With Wolves.  I don't remember what I paid, but as it was a matinee, it probably wasn't more than $2.00.  

I will probably be passed out and sleep through any trick or treaters.   As of 4:00 Friday afternoon, I will be officially retired!  A bottle of Single malt will be involved.

Two quite different sounds, but I would have to say I enjoyed the DLR version more.   Unfortunately One of the worst concerts I ever attended was Van Halen BECAUSE of David Lee Roth.   Had wait about a hour and a half for them to even get on stage and DLR was totally wasted and was babbling...

I haven't been on a plane since before 9-11.  I don't see a reason to start flying now.
