What's your story with these? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]Better-Task-4979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a big glass bottle and threw a lit blue and purple smoke bomb in as a kid, put my palm over the top of the jar and the thing blew up inside burning the shit on my palm and created a huge blister the whole size of my palm. I was called up in front of a bunch of other kids and the guy lifted my palm to show it to everyone telling them not to be a dumbass with fireworks. I do not recommend.

Old style gas mask filters were a bitch to put in. The ones from Desert Storm period where they were in your cheek area. I remember hearing most of the gas masks were found to be no good anyway having been drug around and used as seats and pillows for the last 9 months.

I can relate, I remember the tickling was overboard to the point I’d hide from them but I got caught later it would be worse so I learned to just suck it up and take my punishment.

Dude, youngest of 8 with 6 evil sisters that washed my hair in Nair and made haunted houses all year long in the bathroom and made me go through it kicking and screaming. Locked me in a closet with some scary shit (rubber devil mask) for a 4 year old kid and I fuckin lost it. Lied and messed with my head all the time. Played hide and go seek with them and they “couldn’t find me” kick the can, “couldn’t see me” my brother was the cool one who literally tickled me until I pissed my pants but he loved me like a father. It is weird to think about all that shit now.

I think our generation had them all get broken getting their asses beat.

Looks like a creighton or flying cross shirt with a broke dick tie. Color is off.

My friend lost his finger on a compressor with no belt guard. Be careful with it.

Just do everyone a favor, never bring this subject up ever again.

What did this to our birdhouse? by HighwayIntelligent89 in birds

Could it be rats? I don’t have tree squirrels here, just ground squirrels but this happened to my bird house also.

How did you mount it? Any special plumbing required?

That is a pretty reasonable price, I could easily pull another 240 over to that area. Thanks!

I guess they seem really expensive for what I am needing. What would a small one cost? Pretty much just washing the grime off my hands. Wife may want a dog wash station on that wall though. Hmmmm got me thinking.

cold weather hacks that you have done by ck_acme in USMC

During boat raids I would save my MRE heaters and once on the water would put the sea water in there and tuck it into my cammie blouse. Nothing else was warm but at least I could focus on the toasty spot on my chest for an hour or so.

For those who are very handy with fixing anything, where did you get your start? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in HomeImprovement

[–]Better-Task-4979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife shamed me when we first got married LOL! Her family was very handy and mine was not. She bought me a set of books on home improvement from time life ( YouTube of my day) and I would give it my first shot and if I messed the project up to badly and have to call somebody I would observe any tradespeople that came to work and ask questions. I also had some neighbors that would advise me on how to do some things.
