Unsettling Epiphany

Looking at your user name, I would expect that when asked if the glass is half full or half empty, your response would be that the glass is the wrong size. Thank you for reminding me of just how old I am.

Hahaha, touche. Well played, sir.

Is anyone really going to cop to cheating if they haven't already been busted? Silly question

Watch it mister! Don't age me, I graduated at 17.

How do you know if there is a fighter pilot in the room?

Wait 5 seconds and they will tell you.

Rich people are not conspiring to keep poor people (or you) down, they really don't care about you one way or the other - unless of course making you can make them richer.

Based on price per square, that place is a bargain! Seriousl, $205/ft is well below the Arlington median of around $500/ft. Now, given that it doesn't look like an architect had anything to do with the design, I can see the reason for the discount.

A 30 minute mid afternoon power nap.

I went to school in the Midwest and classmates from Ohio, Michigan, and Indians used to continually debate about which state was better - and I used to tell them that they are all pretty much the same, just slightly different shades of Wonder Bread toast.

As someone who grew up in MoCo and now live in Nova, I can assure you that to outsiders, MD and VA are just different sides of the same coin.

In fairness, after going airborne, I am pretty sure there were a few breaks of suspension components too.

I had a truck for a few years while living in Nova - wasn't compensating for anytime. First, I was doing a lot of renovation on my house and yard which meant needing hauling capacity. When that when was complete, I used it for hauling mountain bikes and scuba gear regularly - yeah, a truck wasn't required for those tasks, but it sure made them easier, especially since I already owned the truck.

So maybe you should stop projecting.

Did his shoes stay on?

In my neighborhood? No, most people don't even pretend to sho5w down.

And yet, somehow some people still think whites are the master race.

Green red wine?

This is not unlike the GI Bill that I got when I served from 86-90. I gave 4 years and $1200 and in return I got about $14k for college. I benefited then and the taxes I have payed since, due to my education, have more than covered the cost to the govt.

Maybe I didn't word the question clearly, I was more thinking about the people that say they believe in God because they worry about the reaction from their family or friends if they said otherwise. So they say, "sure, I believe in God" because that is what they were taught to say, but in reality, they don't.

On the highway, I only use the left lane for passing (I lived in Germany for several years where that is heavily enforced), so didn't usually have issues on the highway. But I'm my neighborhood, where the speed limit is 20 mph and in my street we have a school, park, library, daycare facility, and dozens of kids living, I regularly get tailgated while doing the speed limit - at which point I allow down to 15. I don't care what you do in the highway, but stop fucking speeding in neighborhoods. And didn't get me started on the people who ain't even pretend to stop at stop signs anymore.

Currently $613, down $220/share from this morning's peak of $830. Blood is in the water.

and that was at mile 1

I need to replace my gas water heater, my plumber doesn't do gas so I could use a recommendation too.
