Sitting at my gate waiting to board my flight to Ohare and I really hope none of these people decide to talk to me on the flight. I hate talking to strangers when I fly.

Is it just me or does anyone else prefer to just relax, close their eyes, and completely ignore everyone else when on a plane? It’s not to be a dick, I just don’t prefer to strike up conversations with people on a plane. Their breath usually stinks, mine usually stinks (because let’s face it, flying is an excuse to eat like shite at the airport).

Anyone else like me? What does everyone hate about flying?

Congratulations on getting fired!

I'm a fricking idiot. True as could be. Package had my name and address on it, so I figured I was good, and I am still here today to be called a fricking idiot.

I work at a paper sales company and I'm tired of my co-worker bringing knives to work. His desk is almost within arm's reach of mine and there's no way he needs to have a drawer full of knives.

I work at an industrial valve company in Baton Rouge and this guy is three offices down from me yet all I hear, all day every day, is a CONSTANT clearing of his throat mixed in with coughing fits that legitimately make me feel like I should go check on him. It's quite loud, annoying, and disruptive. I don't know how he makes his sales calls without interrupting himself. He also vapes a lot. Not sure if that can be causing it or not since I don't know anything about vaping, other than it stinks.

Seriously, he doesn't go 10 seconds without doing it. I'm afraid to say anything in case he has turrets syndrome or something but good grief it's aggravating the shite out of me.

What does the OT suggest I do here? Mind my own fricking business or say something?

Damn, checked his own knuckles.

You can buy rechargeable batteries from Arlo, although they're expensive initially, you never have to buy more and they recharge within a couple hours. I love them.

It's amazing how becoming a parent totally changes how you react to these types of things. I feel sick in my chest reading that story and seeing those pictures. You know those kids weren't buckled up in that bus. I would need medication on the way there if my child was on that bus.

Prayers to those kids and the parents.

He's a sleeper candidate in my opinion. He could really have some potential but I'm not 100% sold on him yet. Isn't he a Bama dropout?

You hear this, Rex? Trump is after you next. This is an omen.

I did this to a home I bought a couple years ago. It was built in the 1970s and every ceiling was popcorn ceiling.

Very easy as long as they're not painted. If they're not painted, just spray them with water, let soak for 10 minutes, then use a regular 10" scraper to scrape it right off the ceiling. Go slow so you don't gouge the sheetrock underneath, which will be easy to do.

Also, cover the floors very good with plastic. Don't forget to cover the fan and fan blades as well.

When you're done, fill up a 5 gallon bucket about half way with all-purpose joint compound and water. Mix it with a mixer until it's a pancake batter texture.

Pour that into a paint pan and roll the ceiling with it. Coat the entire ceiling with 3-4 coats. That should be enough to cover any imperfections. When that dries, spray it with ceiling orange peel spray texture.

If it's painted, then may the odds be ever in your favor. It might be easier to rip out the old ceiling and replace the sheetrock.
My living room ceiling was painted popcorn and I had the worst time scraping that shite. I ended up mixing vinegar with water and sprayed it. Let it soak for 45 minutes then it came off a bit easier, although not as easy as if it hadn't been painted.

Good luck!

I worked on the river for a while. Guy fell off a barge one day. Had a life vest on.

Got sucked under the barge and popped out a minute later on the other side. Dead as driftwood.

I haven't posted here for a while but I've lurked for a long time. I sure as hell hope you never come work with me because you sure do lose a lot of co-workers to shitty accidents.

I'm kind of surprised at the lack of news on this

It's not on the east or west coasts. Or in a major city. It'll be a small blurb in the evening news tonight while the media figures out how to spin it. Then it'll be in our faces.

For reference...
