I don’t know what the deepest well is but I was on a rig right outside Port Allen south of 190 that drilled to 31,000 Feet in 1981-82. They hit their targets and kept drilling just to see what the E Logs might show. Back in the days when they didn’t really give a damn about how much money they sp...

I think Band of Brothers is the better show by a little bit. But I’m drawn to The Pacific because (humble brag) my father was a marine corp artillery officer in the 1st Marine division on Guadalcanal. When I asked questions about it he gave me books to read, 1 was a history of the 1st marine divis...

Used to work at hospital in lake Charles. 2 hookers called the front desk of the isle of Capri saying the guy didn’t look to good. Mid 60’s guy had bought 2 hookers and took a whole bottle of viagra.

Used to have a company truck. Work all over and had a habit of getting it stuck in the weirdest places. I was warned not to get stuck or there would be consequences. Couple of months later I get stuck in a bad place where everyone driving by could see the company logo. Pretty obvious what was goin...

I work in an ICU as an RN. No tok toks. The worst thing I do is keep people alive when there is little hope. In the world we live in we are told to fight. But, in general, we don’t talk about death and dying. Anything can happen at anytime. People get sick or have strokes, catastrophic accidents all...

I have a family member who has it. Lived in New England and did a lot of camping/hiking. She didn’t knowingly got bit by a tick. Didn’t Show up with the classic symptoms of a tick bite, bullseye rash etc. so she didn’t/couldn’t have anything. except, over time, all the symptoms showed up. She didn’t...

Married 52 years. I’m not sure they even liked each other. Mom was absolutely brutal in a fight and always went for the jugular to win. Dad drank a lot. He would hold it in until the alcohol kicked in and then he was scary. He didn’t do that often but it was bad when he did. Later, after mom died....

I worked off shore. Got shook out in the 80’s. Was a lineman before and after hurricane Andrew. Just couldn’t see climbing poles in Louisiana summer heat when I was 60.
