I've endured your pain before on a 2-1/2 hour flight to Houston sitting next to the smelliest human being in my life. Barfing almost happened.

I had the stewardess come over just to make sure my nose was working correctly, she confirmed what I smelled but was unable to do anything or didn't want to do anything about it. The flight was full, no open seats to move to. I swear, the stench of that human attached itself to my clothing and couldn't clear it out of my nose for days.
The Mrs and I were thinking about going to the local fair this weekend for something to do. However, there is a disclaimer on the mailing we received similar to this:

Fair at Heritage Park – Simpsonville, SC – Rules & Policies
The Fair at Heritage Park in Simpsonville follows specific safety, admission, and bag policies to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for all guests.

Youth Admission Policy fairatheritagepark.com+1
After 5:00 p.m. each day, no individual under the age of 17 will be admitted without a parent or guardian present.

All guests must pass through metal detectors before entry.

We can read between the lines, we're going to sit this one out or have to go in the morning, early afternoon.
$300 on scratch off. My uncle handed out 5 $1 tickets to us kids one Christmas.

$1,300 on 5 of 6 numbers in Ohio lottery about 30 years ago.
The 6th number drawn was 37, I had 34. Draw was for $12 million.

Good post on the CB radio.

My great aunt had one in her car about the time Smokey and the Bandit came out. She may have had a Midland, that plastic dial with the channel numbers looks familiar. I was probably around 10, my brother and I would spend hours in her car trying to be cool and talk with the truckers, we even made a sheet of trucker lingo. I-57 in Illinois was about two miles from our house so it was easy to pick up a lot of truckers talking.

Chuck you ever been to that Trader Joe’s in Mt. Pleasant on a Tuesday at 10AM only to see it’s absolutely slammed (with talent )?


Hey now, go easy, my daughter grocery shops there. Can't say she's there at 10 am though. No pics of her but I can post pics of her dog Reggie.
Condolences on your loss. High school friend lost his son in a grain wagon, got sucked under and suffocated.

Looking back consider myself and brother extremely lucky considering how many grain bins and wagons we went in to shovel corn and soybeans. Never used any kinds of safety ropes or tie offs. Inhaled a lot of dust in those bins, luckily neither of has developed lung cancer yet.
Corporate Vets along with private equity investors had turned veterinary care into the same model used for humans. When u can buy pet insurance and have separate treatment centers for pet lymphoma, cancer etc, along with all kinds of pills and medications, the system is stacked against u and ur ailing pet .

I’m quite cynical, we lost are 7 year old Golden Retriever to lymphoma last May. Could have spent $15-20k for chemo that may or may not have worked. We missed the subtle signs that he was in trouble until it was too late.
Couple of teenagers with a power washer knocked on the door a few weeks ago, were washing windows. I applauded them for being ambitious but if you don’t have liability insurance, you aren’t doing any work for me.

Guarantee if Ryan Day went 3-9, the Ohio State board wouldn’t still be calling him the best coach in college football


Every OSU board wanted him fired immediately after the loss to Michigan two years ago. Then they won the title and that was the end of that talk.

If he went 3-9, heads would explode.

If you keep separate bank accounts as a married couple, you've got some serious issues at the root. Never marry someone with whom you would not share a bank account or who would not share an account with you. That's a trust issue (or lack thereof) that will wreck what is supposed to be the deepest, most sincere, and most sacred relationship on this earth.


Mrs and I have been operating with separate accounts for 34 years, works great for us. We do share balances occasionally so we can plan for vacations, home improvements, vehicles/maintenance etc. We have an extremely high level of trust with each other.

To your point, it doesn’t work for everyone.
