  1. Maybe they were trying to be certain which tooth. I had one going bad (heat = lots of pain), and on a Thursday we couldn't be certain which tooth it was, even with tapping, cold, and hot. By Saturday it was pretty clear, and it was obvious when the dentist drilled into the tooth that he hit pay dirt. Previous one, several years ago, was done at the same time as a crown, and was more obviously the culprit.
  2. 36 years today for me, but only 1/4th as many jumps. I should be jumping, but I'm working.
  3. I'm thinking that when we did ours in California, it came to about $400. (plus a quarter million give or take. )
  4. It was taxed. I paid more taxes so that you could get this. Enjoy!
  5. Mine is getting better but still lots of off-heading openings. One other thing to do is make certain that your lines are even before you flake it and throw it down. While you are holding it, look at the point where your brakes cascade, and make sure that left and right are aligned.
  6. The difference is that God, like a large pizza, can actually feed a family of four.
  7. Andy, you are wound up a bit tight. If trivialities like that are going to rile you, you are going to blow a gasket at way too young of an age. After you think about that, you'll thank me.
  8. Maybe whoever was supposed to organize the event just screwed up.
  9. I find reincarceration more likely.
  10. Maybe we just need that music for our packer's area.
  11. Yeah, well I loved my high school girlfriend, but never looked back once I jumped a real woman.
  12. Hmmm.... I watched it, but don't seem to be able to do so again. I wonder whether that reporter ever did an interview before.
  13. It can be pretty demanding. My massage lady used to ice her wrists after doing a massage, and I think she pretty much limited it to two (hours) per day.
  14. No, "congrats" is for the groom, "best wishes" is for the bride.
  15. "Proves" is a bit strong. Zillow thinks that a house in my neighborhood, which was lost to earth movement 24 years ago and is now a vacant lot, is worth 20% more than the house next door. It thinks my lot size is ~38% of the actual size, and thinks that my house is worth more than my neighbors, but it is actually worth ~15% less.
  16. I have a few. Then again, I designed the electronics for scales that sold more than 20 million units, so I would.
  17. I accidentally called my GF by my ex's name, "bitch."
  18. A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his motor cycle, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A New York Times reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the biker, says, " Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life." "Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right." "Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist from the New York Times , you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this on the first page. What motorcycle do you ride and what political affiliation do you have?" " A Harley Davidson and I am a Republican. " The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on first page: BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
  19. I'd be amazed if they checked anything but glucose, and maybe a visual for color and clarity. Back on topic, Skydance runs a good safe operation. I would not have expected them to have even the number of fatalities that they have had, but skydiving is a hazardous activity. In 35 years of skydiving, I have never once encouraged anyone new to the sport to make a jump, although I will steer them in a good direction if they express interest.
  20. "I can't see it from my house" -- typical contractor comment regarding quality of their own work. I have de-textured a wall before, taking it to smooth. Coated the entire surface with compound, wet sanded it (don't be breathing that dust) smooth, came out fine. You could even do that, then follow with a different, consistent, new texture pattern.
  21. This guy doesn't need it. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/chi/595498265.html
