They absolutely do not

I'm not defending Rolex but from 1962 to 1995 James Bonds watch about 90% of the time was a Rolex. The omega thing is pretty new

I'll never own a Rolex personally because of this artificial scarcity and price inflation above retail (DeBeers pulled this shite and got is arse handed to it by lab created diamonds) . I find it to be bad form and I don't have to buy one. They also don't have to sell me one and probably wouldn't. So I've stuck with omega, Breitling, Fortis, JLC, and others that I absolutely love. If Rolex ever changes I'll probably try one. My wife owns a Rolex Explorer I in 36mm. She loves it. I don't hate Rolex, I hate that they've done this to their consumers
Is it just me or does the baby look like an inconvenience to her?

re: What sleep meds work for you?

I've had 30 years of sleep issues with Willis Ekbohm disease (whole body rls). It is a dopamine imbalance for me. You should have her evaluated by a neuro for any condition and have a total blood work up. I sleep a bit using half of a hydrocodone and 1 klonopin. Every so often the WED is too strong and I have to take an entire hydrocodone. It allows my central nervous system to relax.

Curious what aircraft they preferred?


I imagine multiple blackhawks. Anyone who has ever been on a Chinook can attest to the power of it and the monumental POS that it is. But the Teams are used to flying these helos and do so pretty consistently. Common sense to me would have been to fly Apache's with the team but don't underestimate the power of that AC130. It's a bad piece of machinery.

For anyone curious Doxa actually tested and found out that orange was the best visibility for normal diving depth, less than say 90 feet or so they made their watches orange

They make great watches. Highly regarded in the watch community. I'm not a huge fan of the rice bead bracelet but there are tons of options. Orange is their signature color. Lots can be had under 2k

I say this as a person with an immigrant wife, but to be fair, she came here over 20 years ago legally and is a naturalized citizen with full rights who has more than assimilated to America and is a conservative Christian. At no time in her time here has she ever been on any Government program. She actually has no pride or romanticism of her old country and is fully American.


But is she hot?

The boomers let Mexicans come across the border and buy up all the cheap cars


Democrats let them across the border. And there are tons of cheaper cars but bring one to a Young person and they lose their shite because they wanted the new Audi. I was 40 before I got a good brand new car
Younger people buy $300,000 homes as starter homes and their first car is a BMW instead of the pos that boomers drove. It's a weird shift

I'll preface this by saying I served 8 years. This is one of the biggest frauds in the US right now. It's disgusting what these vets are doing. If you're 100% disabled you can't work for ExxonMobil or Shell. I had a family member who got 100% but had to go to a war veterans nursing home facility. They 100% took care of him every day and still sent his check every month. The entire process is disheartening to me. Of course there are a lot of vets that need this. But those that don't taint the pool.
