    I’ve never been on a prescription before but my wife needs anti seizure and asthma meds. Those will bankrupt me for sure 

    My wife is on a boatload of MS meds and is in a wheelchair full time.  She still works full time though and has recently gone back to college to change careers so she can work and be productive.  She's expensive but she deserves props for not giving up.

    Just wow.  This administration is a complete dumpster fire.  I'd love to know what that lady's qualifications were for getting that job, because she sure didn't come off as anything other than a bumbling mid level bureaucrat.

    Her qualifications were simply that she's Native American so when a group pursues diversity first and foremost, she's qualified.

    My wife says I complain too much.  I laugh when she complains about me complaining.  :lol:

    So, in an effort to complain less to her I figured this would be a good place to list the gripes of old crumudgeons like me. 

    Yesterday... Go to Fleet Farm after work for a few items.  Find my shit and within 5 minutes I'm  heading to get in line for the cashier.  There's two cash registers open and a line of 14 and 12 people waiting per line.  I stood there for 18 minutes to buy $9 of merchandise.  The cashier was a nice older lady and I said to her 'they sure could use a few more hard working pleasant people like you here right now' which I said loud enough for the store manager and other customers to hear.  Applause and laughter erupted from a few adults behind me in our line.  I don't come to your store to spend this kind of time standing in fucking line like I'm waiting to ride Space Mountain at Disney.  Hire and PAY some adults PLEASE.

    Today... When did people forget how to use an on ramp on the interstate to merge into fucking traffic?  The on ramp isn't a place to go 30-40mph while merging into traffic going 70+!!!!  Get on the throttle and up to god-damned speed for Christs sake.  If this is too fucking complicated for you, ride a bus, take an Uber or stick to driving around your neighborhood.  

     

     

     

    Feel free to add your own common sense gripes... ;)

     

    Stopped at Fleet Farm on Saturday.  Grabbed some fishing line and a couple of lures.  Went to the check out and the young girl there barely acknowledged I was there.  She finally got around to ringing me up, without a greeting at all, then dropped some of my shit on the floor, cracking one of the boxes a lure was in.  Never said thank you, nothing.  Then she proceeds to pull her pants up to her armpits before she can be troubled to put my things in a bag.  Poor customer service and just plain lack of awareness.

    You got my vote the second your name hits a ballot...

    In reality though, who in their right mind would want that job?!

    The left has never wanted a fix for abortion as they need the issue more than a reasonable solution.  I wonder if this move is a good idea for the DNC.  It would seem no matter what the election in November will have any bearing on the SC decision and the other issues at play would seem to overshadow abortion as a vote getter. 

    Exactly.  If we all get along and compromise, we turn our collective attention to the corrupt system and its shortcomings and theoretically hold the people in charge accountable.  Neither party wants that.  Neither party wants the "patient" to get better because what would they have to talk about fixing and what would the outrage be about?

    I hope they prosecute the fuck out of whoever leaked it.  Won't hold my breath though.  IMO, it SHOULD be decided by the states.  Neither party gives 2 shits about the rights of anyone let alone the rights of women.  Abortion is just a political flashpoint used by both sides to enrage voters at times of convenience, such as closing in on mid-terms.  It's seems to be one more nail in the coffin of this country which keeps getting more and more divided.

    Omg I had a couple 2.4 240hp Bridgeports and a 200 promax running on the hose in my yard in the last couple years. They are like fucking music to my ears lol. The whole neighborhood knew some shit was going down 

    You should hear and feel them when they're on the dyno.  Put a load on them and they absolutely sing!  We'd always get complaints from the hotel next door to the marina because we'd start the morning with dyno runs...  Freaking awesome!
