It's available down here at Walgreens and most Drug stores. I haven't checked the big box stores. The last I used it I had great results.

 

Evening everyone

Internet has been down and couldn't get online the last day or so and now back online !!!!!

Been busy the last couple days between the VA and at home

 

Wife got written up at work for having a bad attitude, looks like HR is involved...not good. 35 years in her career 18 at this place and her newbie boss can't take criticism. This won't end well.

 

well kudos to her for standing her ground i know that won't help pay bills but all the same good for her

 

Same here!

Me too Most of the time you don't even really get to see the action. I did catch a pair going at it on the feeder out of focus but get the general idea.

 

I'm so sorry , it's a terrible thing burying your child. I can imagine her pain.

 

good morning guys! i missed a variety of discussion last night. hard to sleep with a stuffy nose. well it beats itchy balls! lol. have a dry day guys.

 

I shut up when im pissed. I wear my heart on my sleeve. Don't want to bring my crap in here.
But I do vent once in a while. Feeling better, so moving on.

 

I had poision Ivy DOWN THERE once. I wish the swelling had stayed and the itching went.
But dam they both left.

 

Take a shower ?

 

So written up for bad attitude by pointing out to the boss he's an idiot ?
Censorship is on the rise. Can't say anything bad, can't correct anyone. Something happens away from work that has nothing to do with work and you get fired. It's a joke.
Keep your head down, don't make eye contact, don't say anything. It's only the beginning....
Ok I'm done ....... Morning all....

 

Family problems....Not going into it on here, but.....family problems. Sorry for leaving y'all hanging like that.

 

I will share this with the wife. She can't get within a mile of the stuff and it tears her up.

 

Good Morning Folks!

 

try and have a good day mike i've got a beautiful prius i'll sell you if you want to replace the van

 

You got it. They don't want anymore than the minimum out of her. After 35 years I would take the salary and a cushy job. Ease back on the throttle and cruise into retirement. That is not my wife.

 

So yesterday morning as I'm pulling into a parking space headed for coffee with the guys when my phone rings. My daughter. Asks me where the battery charger is located. After some discussion (no, you can't charge the battery quickly enough, etc.) turns out her battery is dead and she has to get to classes (finishing up her degree at VCU, about a 50 min. drive). So I go home and jump start it for her, top off the battery with fluid and send her on her way. At the end of the day I text to see if the battery charged enough on the drive and find out no go. To her credit she got a jump in the parking garage on her own and is on the way home. Ok, so I phone the local auto parts places (7:30 at night, can't go to my usual garage) and O'Reillys has what I need, so I go get into the car......What a pig sty! Trash everywhere, smells terrible, needs to be cleaned, vacuumed and disinfected. When I jumped the car to start it up there's the glaring TPS warning light on. Wonder how long that's been on. It's called a warning light for a good reason. Heed the warning! The key is twisted about 20 degrees like she tried to turn it harder to make it crank when it wouldn't start. I look at the odometer and this girl has driven over 3700 miles since July 1, she is only 2 miles from work, and this is the first week of classes! How does one do that in this little town, where nothing is more than 5 miles away? I understand a metropolitan area like DC or some rural area like Montana , but not here. That's nearly 22k a year, for small town doing in town driving. Her furthest trip is to Newport News, 20 miles away. this girl isn't even blond, but I'm beginning to question her parentage. Is abortion illegal if the child is 24?

ok rant over. On the good side we are healthy, fed and with shelter. That other silly crap about the car really doesn't matter much in the long run and will be forgotten soon enough, yet it does get under my skin for a few minutes.

Hope you all have a good day.

 

I hate crap like that. So glad I work in a technical field with other grumpy old guys like myself. Our manager is a Marine, so you better not have a thin skin.
I'm in IT because I work better with machines than people.

 

I don't have kids, so maybe I'm not one to say. But if I was in your situation I would install a tracker GPS the next time I fix her car. Not saying something is happening, but it would be prudent to know where all that mileage is coming from.

 

i'll sell you a beautiful little prius that gets 55-60 mpg for her if you want only 63000 miles and i'm putting a new windshield in it
