What's shakin', FFAers? Some of you may have noticed I haven't been around in a while.  Or you may not have.  If you didn't, #### you.  Just kidding. Unfortunately, my brother  - The Ox, for those that have enjoyed his (mis)adventures - has hit a rough patch.  He lost his job and his health...

Essentially every time I tried to relay a humorous anecdote to one of my parents about something that happened in/after school, this would be the way it would go.  Anyone else grow up this way?  By the way, as annoying as it was at the time, I'm grateful for it and would probably do the same to...

Person, place, or thing...

Curious about doing some home distilling.  I was watching a show called "Moonshiners" and the concept of being able to create your own alcohol flavors is intriguing.  Now, just to be clear, I understand that moonshining and bootlegging are illegal, I'm not talking about setting up an operation...

New year, new thread.  And what better way to start it than this... JuJu takes a photo with a Pats fan

I have a numbnuts employee that came to me (why?) this morning telling me that she hasn't filed a tax return in 10 years (!)  Somehow, the IRS isn't contacting or harassing her for payment and she hasn't had her wages garnished or anything.  However, she has this hanging on her head/conscience...

Ultimate first world "problem." I can't seem to get a thermometer rig that will last. If I use the floating ones, they just get sucked into the filter within 10 minutes if the pump is running. If I try to tie one to the ladder, the cord frays and breaks within a couple of weeks. Anyone figured...

This may be a fool's errand but I can't seem to find any specific info online. I have a 2016 Mustang with the Sync3 system.  A/C went wacky on me a couple of weeks ago (in July, in Florida - fun) so I had to take it in for repairs.  They told me the evaporator core had a leak and needed to be...

Any other super pale FBGs ever deal with this? Apparently only 5 percent of people are prone to this. It sets in 48-72 hours after a sunburn and produces a maddening painful itch that is truly indescribable. I am suffering from this right now. If you're not sure if you've ever dealt with this...

Some of you may remember I told the story a while back (since lost to pruning, apparently) of my extremely brief and uneventful romantic dalliance with a girl named Lisa Spoonauer, who later went on to play Caitlin Bree in "Clerks."  We were friendly throughout middle school, lost touch during...

Let's say you have a couple grand coming to you that your wife is blissfully unaware of.  You want to maybe plunk it in an online brokerage account to dabble in stocks but keep it away from your other assets so it's a standalone account that no one has visibility to but you.  You're looking for...

Surreal moment. I'm sitting with a few of the other VPs at Capital Grille - the owner of our parent company flew in on his private jet and took a few of us to lunch as a "thank you" for another year.  As we're sitting there waiting for our meals, he gets a text message from someone telling him...

Anyone done it? I've been at my current employer for nearly 15 years and am pretty well compensated, but I believe I'm actually worth a little more than they pay me.  Recently, an opportunity has basically fallen into my lap where another local company (not in the same space) is coming pretty...

Didn't see anything in a cursory glance at the Video Games thread - does anyone own this?  Is it cool or does it suck?  What games are recommended?  I know all this info is out there on the web, but I prefer to get opinions here that I can trust a lot more than those of your generic Internet...

Who are the announcers (play-by-play or color) that to you just SOUND like a certain sport?  As in, their voices are indelibly linked in your mind with a sport, whether or not you like the guy.  Past or present.  For me, it's : Summerall/Madden (then) and Al Michaels (now) - NFL Marv Albert -...

Anybody got one?  Considering buying one in the next few months, was hoping someone had feedback on how it drives, options, gas mileage, etc.  2015-2017 I believe are essentially the same, so any of these years would apply.  For you muscle car purists, yeah, I know.  I'd rather own the GT but it...

The "What is the best mattress" thread was so helpful in guiding my new mattress purchase, I figured I'd start this. The expensive recliner I bought 2 years ago from a furniture store is a total piece of crap. Lifetime warranty but it keeps falling apart and I'm done with it. Looking to buy a...

Just throwing this up here so we have someplace to talk about this program 10 or 15 years from now.

Might as well chuck this up now. Cockrell extended, a couple of futures contracts doled out. Let's get ready for the draft and the 2016 season. Currently 10-1 to win SB 51. F Vontaze Burfict.
