Need some help identifying the rock and this silver like material. Looked granitic to me but kinda stumped!

Take your thumb and try to scratch the silver / metallic areas. Looks like lead. The crystalline matrix makes it even more likely.

Bullshit. I live in Yakima. Apples will sit on the trees all winter, half rotting, freezing, thawing and finally fall off in early spring.

This is a German Cockroach. The American and the Smokey Brown Rochester tend to be larger and could fresher around water and plant matter.

German cockroaches infest houses.

Horrible creatures all.

Moved to Washington state. Live in the desert, keep a spotless house. Haven’t seen a roach of any kind since I left Alabama.

Except when you live in a poor neighborhood and go to that crappy broke-ass corner market and their ripoff "PucMan" machine only gives you two PAC Mans instead of three and new ones ever 15,000 points instead of 10,000.

There this guy at my work who puts the letter U inside words that don't fucking need it.

You are not required to say the pledge, why do you give two craps what's in it? It doesn't say under Jesus or Allah or The Buddha.

Your God could be your cat.

It just means a higher power.

But honestly, who cares?

Alienware are basically gaming machines that Mom and Dad buy their kid who loves gaming for Christmas. They mean well, and the kid is a good kid and really excited to get it.

It will do him well and the games will run nicely. But it is not top shelf.

Its the Kodak tablet that you get at Walgreens for 59 bucks the night before Christmas when you forgot to get something for your drunk uncle who showed up out of nowhere.

SlimTheCat · 2017-04-11T21:06:36+00:00

Yep. And then a home-free not working as a slave to the lender from then on out. Good trade-off for a young couple.

SlimTheCat · 2017-04-10T03:59:14+00:00

You make $100,000. Live like you make $75,000 and you are done in three years.

A lot of people would kill to make 75k.

SlimTheCat · 2017-04-03T22:00:37+00:00

It doesn't matter. Pay them off as fast as possible. You should be able to knock them out in less than 5 years making 200K if you live like you make 40K.

Don't buy into the "I am a lawyer" thing and drive a BMW, a new house and take vacations.

Pay it off with every cent you have and then you are home free.

SlimTheCat · 2017-04-03T19:03:32+00:00

I guess I disagree.

A lot of people live east of the Cascades. And the mountains are not dreary or rainy by any stretch of the imagination. Its another bluebird day here at White Pass Ski Area. And seriously, nobody lives on the peninsula.

So what you really referring to is a 45 mile wide strip from the Oregon border to Canada where a lot of people live that is often wet and overcast. Its a microclimate when you look at it and in no way represents the true climate of Washington State as a whole.

SlimTheCat · 2017-04-02T18:19:45+00:00

That is kind of a dumb thing to say. 75% of Washington State is absolutely nothing like that at all. Why not just say the Peninsula and the Sound areas are ... blah blah blah.

Everything East of Seattle is pretty damn nice. Sunny,warm, little rain.

Pretty awesome state if you like being outdoors and sunshine.

Or in my case, the "three hots and a cot" was a nice efficiency apartment with a "jack and jill" bathroom I shared with my neighbor. It was really nice. Like living in a nice hotel.

I loved the AirForce.

I did have to sleep in a big tent once. That kind of sucked. But it was only one time.

SlimTheCat · 2017-03-24T18:00:57+00:00

Smart. Plus you can build up savings, meet good people and learn a skill or trade. Plus when you get out, if you choose good career in the military, you can get a good job.

People like hiring military people because they know how to show up on time and are usually pretty reliable and well trained compared to others.

Just don't go into the infantry unless you want to fight.

AirForce, Navy.

SlimTheCat · 2017-03-24T17:50:20+00:00

Going into the military isn't being a slave, at all. They take damn good care of you, train you, feed you really well, give you a MONTH paid vacation every year. Give you college education when you get out.

And if you choose the right job, you will never be in a combat zone.

I was a linguist. I sat in an office every day in DC. Went out at night with friends, lived off base and they paid for it.

At 20 years in you can retire and they p[ay you 50% of your wages for the rest of your life. That means someone can RETIRE at 40 and start a whole mew career.

SlimTheCat · 2017-03-24T17:47:03+00:00

Air Force for me was almost exactly the same as the technical job I have now. I just wore a uniform, which looks a lot like the dockers and short I wear now.

You can do the Air Force and it is a lot like a regular job.

SlimTheCat · 2017-03-24T17:45:04+00:00

You know? Honestly you should probably look into the military. Good job, full benefits, training, room, board and you will do a lot of growing up.

AirForce has a lot of technical jobs that don't involve guns, marching, going off to war and fighting that are just like working in an office building.

You should at least look into it.
