What McD's is really useful for is breakfast on the run. When I have to be somewhere at 7:00am, there's usually a McD's along the way that has a sausage biscuit and a jolt of caffeine just when I need it.

Meh... I consider Arby's fine dining. :king:

I usually don't wear a hat. I have all my hair and wore it shoulder length until a couple of years ago. I do wear a hard-hat on many job sites even when it isn't required. I've had 20+ concussions lifetime1 and I don't need anymore. ---- 1- some might say that explains a lot.

kurt- this is a lose-lose situation. it is only a matter of time before it explodes. back away from it slowly before it goes off in your face. JS

This is a lose/lose situation: You lose if you confront him. You lose if you tell your folks that you know that he has been getting high for some time. You lose if you allow it to continue and it gets worse. Your decision is what you are willing to lose and for how long. Don't expect the Disney after school special outcome. This is real life and rosy, bullshit propaganda won't help you. What generally happens when kids this age are fingered for using weed/drugs, they are sent to the most expensive drug treatment that your families insurance can afford and it will not work. The only time people quit doing drugs is when they've had enough consequences and young teens have the worst 2 year clean stats of any other demographic. OK- here's what you need to do: you've got to catch him cold- busted with the goods. This will give you and your family the ammunition that you need to move forward. Next- rehab: DO NOT, repeat DO NOT go for a faith based rehab. They are bullshit, long term facilities which charge insurance and then warehouse kids out in the boon docks far away from civilization with no certified staff, just Jesus freaks telling them to pray away their problems. These rehabs are scams and we are working on getting their federal funding pulled. There have been suicides and molestation in them- as they are run by churches or church fronts, they are exempt from a lot of the documentation and certification requirements that other health care facilities are required to produce. Their staff does not even go though a state background check. The best, most successful rehabs are based on 12-step programs. Others can not boast the numbers or the long term success but they try. Don't fall for it. There are no easy answers. Steer clear of people that try to tell you that there are. This is going to be a very long battle so dig in, study/learn and expect it to be unpleasant. When things are coming out, don't be surprised if your own dirty laundry is dragged out for inspection.

One big league site that's missing from the list is It's Only Me From Across the Sea. It is the home of a writer named Grasshopper that is simply amazing. His work is top notch and he has a number of fans.

I've got a black cat and I like bacon. I'm so confused.

We're having tornadoes in Dixie tonight. And people think I have a BUNKER because I'm a paranoid lunatic.

Living in Mississippi, 100 degree days are fairly common in the summer. What literally knocks them dead is our humidity. Sometimes it seems like a sauna. There is nothing like August here. If you aren't used to it, it'll put you in the hospital. There are a lot of construction companies here that close or work on interior finishing from the last week of July to the end of August. It rarely goes below freezing- there's pluses and minuses to that. Winter weather here can be anywhere from the 30s to the 80s. I can remember Christmas when we played football outdoors in shorts and others when we had ice storms at the other extreme. When we do have a hard freeze, it kills the skeeters. If it doesn't we have the little darlings all year.

You're like Jonny Quest, but you say f**k all the time

Chase- Come to the University of Southern Mississippi! USM is 90 minutes from New Orleans and widely regarded as one of the biggest party schools in the South East. It's not bad academically either. Several of our members are current or former students there. BTW- train the new kid well. -

You don't have the pork flu?

Excellent! I'm glad to hear that your recovery has progressed to going back to work. Recovery takes a lot of patience, guts and grit. It's a lot harder work than most people think.

Don't pack your bags just yet. Methods and instrumentation for finding earth like planets are still many years away. The data that they are talking about is almost all inferential. Yes- we know that planets of all sizes are there. We are years way from direct observation of earth-like worlds and even further from sending a Voyager like probe to fly by. I do want to reserve a seat on Colonial 1 when we do launch.

Have your straight friends asked you the question.
JamesSavik replied to Toast's topic in The Lounge
I think that there are a lot of fairly homophobic males that think that gays are attracted to anything with a dick and that's just not the case. It is a bad mix of anti-gay propaganda and ego. It is a lot of fun to shoot these guys down in flames when the opportunity presents itself. It is sort of the same mentality as the 300 pound fat ass wearing a no fat chicks t-shirt. -
I got this idea from a prank I pulled some years ago and thinking about it- whoa... this story could kick major ass. Prankster kid is instantly swept up in a web in international intrigue and ends up wanted by the FBI, Mossad, FSB, Homeland inSecurity and terrorists! What do you think!? Does this sound like fun or am I dain bramaged? No wait. I'm dain bramaged and it sounds like fun... or does it just sound like fun because of my dain bramage?

Yes- it's usually a drunk str8 friend who is looking to gain "experimental data". Having played the lab rat, I politely decline. -

English, Pascal, C, FORTRAN, COBOL, Mathematica and Math through DE. Oh and just enough assembler language to get by on most processors. I am bi-measurements: just as inept in English units as I am in Metric.

I said stuff yourself to Billy and the Redmond boize a long time ago.
