| I'm depressed. I have insomnia. So the only thing left that will help me is: CAFFEINE!!! I literally blew a week's pay($120) on Dr. Pepper and Folgers' Black Silk coffee. |
| My friends all know me as the General Lee! I'm the General Lee, a pistol-pumpin', steel-goin' cavalry, I'll never let you down while you're ridin' with me, Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean! |
| Love that good old Dodge and Johnny Cash. |
Reply| Finally got a job up here in Denver! Now I can put my 4 semesters of diesel mechanics to good use. I'm a tractor unit mechanic (semi truck repairwoman) working for a company called JE-CO. So far, I've had to crawl under 3 tractor units and do some stuff. On one of them, the first rear differential(on a 3-axle tractor unit, the first rear differential is the one in front of the very rear axle) was so worn out that the driveshaft disconnected and almost fell on my head! On the other two, I had to fix some leaks(oil, transmission fluid, and air brake airline hoses). |
| I think I'd try this. As you all can tell by my handle, I'm hungry. But, alas, this wolf's hunger cannot be satisfied with a mere Big Mac from McDonald's. So. What I want y'all to do is: Comment on this post, telling me what you'd make for me to eat! Simple as that. For example: "Extra-large pepperoni pizza" or "strawberry pie(my favorite by the way!)". |
| Yes, I know, but this wolf is almost out of money. You know how they say, "You can tell someone's status by seeing how fat their wallet is?" Well... lemme tell you something really quick, until I get my next paycheck, my wallet is as thin as a piece of paper. |
| I have a message to people that don't work and sits around drawing money from the government... "But the great Rubber Duck sorta' run outta' luck As he crossed that final bridge There was choppers an' rigs full o' guns an' pigs They's wall to wall on the ridge He showed no fear as he grabbed his gear An' he stuck it in grandaddy low Them guns went boom an' his ass went zoom An' the Mack took a terminal blow! Well, that big black Mack stopped dead in 'er tracks When the trailer blew high in the air There was pieces of truck an' some pieces of duck An' junk an' debris everywhere The the rig took a drink an' commenced to sink An' there was no Duck no more But that evil smile from Dirty Ol' Lyle Shone south from the north Texas shore!" This is an excerpt from the 1978 movie theme song "Convoy", which is about a trucker, Marty "Rubber Duck" Penwald(Kris Kristofferson) leads a mile-long convoy while Arizona Sheriff Lyle "Cottonmouth" Wallace(Ernest Borgnine) chases them all through New Mexico, all the way into Texas. Eventually, Rubber Duck gets singled out, and when he tries to cross a bridge, his truck is shot by machine guns, assault rifles, pistols, etc. There's even a tank. Eventually, the trailer explodes, knocking the "big black Mack" into the ocean, with Rubber Duck presumably dead. At the end, when Lyle sees that Rubber Duck is still alive, he laughs maniacally. Now, if this story about a trucker so determined for money that he risks his life and ruins his load doesn't convince people to get off of their lazy butts and do something, I don't know what will. |
| My little brother was forced to retire at the age of 49 due to long haul Covid. He can hardly take seven steps without needing oxygen. He was a hard working man who gave it his all every day until his health went south. I am in a similar situation with severe asthma so bad, I can not make it through a four hour day without needing at least two breathing treatments. I have been forced to file for social security disability. I completely agree that certain people need to get more motivated in getting a job while they can. Because once you are unable to work due to whatever reason, you will eventually wish you were. |
| Excuse me for the skepticism, but I have no idea how to link camera images here, so I put it into a converter to turn it into a link. Now, let me explain. This has taken me months and months of confidence-building to actually finally consider doing this. This is me! https://im.ezgif.com/tmp/ezgif-1-7252149d84.gif |
| Well, that's great. My 12 year old Xbox 360 S got the RRoD. The RRoD is the Red Ring of Death, which signifies a fatal error/hardware issue. I have one singular red flashing LED, so that means an easy fix. Phew. |
| Man... I've been having some thoughts reflecting back when I was a child. My mom always used to call me a goober, because I'd do all these silly things. One time, when I was 8, we were at home. It was a Saturday and it was raining outside. I really wanted to play in the rain, because, well, kids like mud. So, I asked mom: "Momma, can I go play outside?" She replied with: "No, 'hon. You have to eat your lunch first." So, I ate my lunch like a good little girl, got my raincoat and rainboots on, and ran outside. It wasn't long before I came back in, soaking wet and muddy all over. Mom said: "Oh, my...! Angel, what happened?!" Me: "I rolled in the mud!" Mom: "You goober...! C'mon, let's get you cleaned up. You're filthy!" Aaah, the good times... |
I don't know why, but... I'm feeling uncomfortable. Like... I sit down, and I can't get comfortable, so I'm literally rolling around in the chair until I find the right spot. I've been like this before. And... I know you all care about me, and I appreciate it. But... no, I don't have to go to the hospital, lol. |
So... Tomorrow is the last day of classes in college. Today, I was taking some finals(tests) for some classes. I had a friend watch Lily(my baby girl) for me while I was taking the tests. When I got back to my dorm room, he was laughing his head off. I asked him what happened. This is apparently what happened: Jeremy: "Come on, burp. I gotta pee." Lily: Proceeds to giggle Jeremy: "I mean it. You're gonna be sitting in some warm liquid that you won't like REAL soon if you don't burp." Lily: "Ahaha!" Touches Jeremy's face Jeremy: "Woah... y-you know what? I'm just gonna..." Jeremy: Proceeds to take baby in the bathroom with him and try to get her to burp while he's urinating |
| Yeah, raising kids isn't easy. But can be rewarding when ya get the hang of it. Its like a wise man once said: It takes a village to raise a child. Hope you did well on your test. |
| Raising a child can be a challenge. One piece of advice for you that worked for my mother. Place one of your favorite shirts or sweaters and tie it to the outside of the crib where lily can not reach it but can smell it. Why? Babies can not see in the dark so they rely on their sense of smell. If Lily smells 'you' near the crib, she not cry as often during the night because she will think you are there. |
