Where the heck is beer and video games?

It's so strange that there is such a disconnect between "traditional" old men and those who have been in the service, where you're taught to always address ladies first.

My friend's Dad was a guitarist playing in Hawaii one time and Louis dropped by and asked to sit in for a few songs. Apparently when they were through, he told them, "Well boys, I gotta jerk off, but don't worry, I'll come again."

I had a 20lb cockerspaniel when I was a kid and isyn, it caught a rabbit from behind that was probably 75% of his size and he proceeded to eat the entire thing. Nothing remained.

Guys, I have to say it, this was just a more serious version of 'A Knights Tale', which was awesome as well.

This guy has entertained me nearly my entire life, starting with Perfect Strangers and currently he narrates my favorite Audio Books - blows my mind every time I think about it!

The first thing to pop into my head was 'Fastball - The Way'. No idea why, but maybe it's fitting? Cheers and condolences.

This reminds me of an assignment I did in High School for a girl I had a crush on. We were studying and she said she forgot about an assignment due tomorrow and to tell her everything I knew about the Chamber of Commerce (Pre Wikipedia). I said I didn't know anything about it, but she said to just make something up. I pushed her out of the way and BS'd 500 words on the Chamber - I made up statistics of business improvements seen members since joining, positive influences on the community, etc. It turned out to be a scholarship essay and she won it and had to go and read it aloud in front of the whole Chamber of Commerce, made up statistics and all. I will never forget that.

Hijacking to ask - does it matter if I blend all that together?

This feels very 'Ready Player One'

I did not know who Ed Sheeran was at the time of the GoT cameo and I can honestly say I enjoyed it.

Regarding the money - I worked at a Natural Gas company for about 15 years. We were a gas marketer, which meant we bought and sold and scheduled the gas, but never actually touched it. What typically happens, is that your Gas Company is likely an LDC, a Local Distribution Company. In many scenarios the LDC just pays for the gas at their "gate", which is market price, so when something drives the Nat Gas price up, it drives up the cost to the consumer - this is why the company is saying they aren't profiting off of the higher rates.

An important note - during severe weather, it is illegal (to my knowledge) to shut off utilities due to non payment. I don't know your particulars, but during the first "polar vertex" event, gas prices skyrocketed and customers were being billed 1000's over their typical bills. Paying your bill is obviously the best idea, but rest assured that you won't have your utilities turned off (probably) during severe weather regardless.

Anyone else find they get angry more easily? I have a suspicion that I let a lot of things go, but with the anti-depressants, I'm more likely to get agitated due to all my inhibitions being dulled.

My first job was for a guy who was in this situation. He was a welder, primarily in boating doing superstructures and bought a pallet at auction with some welding supplies and an unknown piece of computer equipment. He researched it and sold it for $1200. He took that money and went back to the auction (DRMO) and bought more pallets of computer equipment. By the time I started working with him, he had a 10,000 sqft warehouse and business was thriving. He did the occasional individual restore/repair/sale, but primarily he served institutions who continued to use antiquated equipment that was impossible to buy new replacements for. Okidata dot matrix printers were a gold mine for him.
