re: Stomach virus checkin thread

"Nothing is better than that first good meal after you're sick." I suppose it depends on what you consider a meal to be. I carefully eat a few crackers, or maybe a piece of toast, with some Sprite or Seven-Up, and hope I don't puke it up. Once that feat is accomplished, I cautiously move to chi...

re: Do any retirees “miss” work?

Posted by ronniep1 on 5/10/24 at 7:53 pm
I stayed home a month, then took a part time job working as a car courier for a local dealership. It gets me out of the house a few days per week, and I'm enjoying driving a variety of cars & trucks. But as far as the job I left after 32 years? Don't miss it at all. In fact, I was ready to leav...
Daughter 1: July 20, 1887 at approximately 5:30 pm Daughter 2: March 17, 1989 at approximately 7:30 am I'm within 10 minutes of the actual birth time for both girls. That's close enough for me....
Roughly 2 years ago, a waitr driver delivered my food to the wrong address. Waitr gave me a refund, but would not / could not get the driver to bring me more food, which at that time, is what I really wanted. The next day, I ordered from the same restaurant and picked up the order myself, and I w...
Does your mom receive a social security payment each month? If yes, it can be used to offset the cost of a nursing home. Depending on the facility chosen, additional costs to you or other family members may be minimal. My mom was becoming forgetful in 2020 & 2021, but after having a heart attack...

re: Most depressing small town?

Posted by ronniep1 on 2/11/24 at 8:08 am
Any of the small towns littering Highway 15 between Vidalia and Rayville, LA. Wisner, Baskin, Mangham, etc. The ONLY thing keeping those places alive is speeding ticket revenue that Andy and Barney issue to motorists that violate their ridiculously slow speed limits....

Exactly. Though I vehemently disagree with this President and his policies, Jill, the DNC, and maybe some in Congress, are abusing and embarrassing this old man on a near daily basis....

re: LNST: Britney Spears…

Posted by ronniep1 on 12/8/23 at 10:41 pm
At this point, banging Britney is equivalent to doing the retarded woman in your neighborhood. You can, but should you? And afterwards, would you really want to brag to friends about fricking the retarded broad? Same with Britney . . ....

re: Do you think you’ll see 65?

Posted by ronniep1 on 11/30/23 at 1:51 pm
Seeing how I’m 63 now, I damn sure hope I see 65. Being serious, though, barring cancer, both sides of my family are making it to their upper 80’s or more. So if my mom and aunts/uncles on both sides are any indication, I think/hope I’ll make it to 87 or longer (lost my mom 2 years ago at 87)....
On the day that Whoopi Goldberg dies, if a Cat 5 hurricane travels up the Mississippi River, dealing massive damage and destruction, it will still be a good day because that beotch will be at room temperature....
On the surface, the coach’s reason for resigning doesn’t fly. While I understand being upset over the shooting death of a player, that alone is no reason to resign. I’ll be very surprised if more information that in some way implicates the coach doesn’t come out in the next few days....
If I'm late, it absolutely is because my wife waited too long to begin her "getting ready" process (shower, makeup, dressing, etc). We've had many "discussions" about it, with mixed results....

re: Naural Born Storytellers

Posted by ronniep1 on 9/26/23 at 9:50 pm
Paul Harvey could tell a good story, but his insistence on pronouncing every letter of a word was irritating. Protein, which nearly everyone pronounces as "pro-teen" became pro-tee-in. Diaper, pronounced "die-per" by most folks, became die-uh-per when spoken by Mr Harvey. Vegetable (vej-ta-ble to m...
In 2007, I had a 30 year old ‘woman’ working for me who still lived with her parents. She had to get her dad’s permission to buy a (new) 4-Runner. She didn’t like it when I said that at 30, she should be long past needing daddy’s permission....
1. Does Cook still do comedy? Perhaps at 63 I’m too old, but I haven’t heard his name in probably 10 years or more. How does he earn a living these days? 2. In what I consider his “heyday” of the early 2000’s, I listened to him once and bailed after 10 minutes, at most. I didn’t find him funny. ...

re: Stanchions & Ropes For Concessions?

Posted by ronniep1 on 9/24/23 at 6:05 pm
There are none for the concession stands at or near Section 413, where my seats are located. As a point of reference, 413 is in the Southeast corner of the stadium....
