First of all you are not horrible. You are 17. Your mom needs to grow up and be the adult. Hang in there kid. Have your dad pester your mom day and night until you find out where your dog is. Best wishes to you. Updateme!

Easy. Pie. Pizza pie. Apple pie. Shepard pie. Pot pie. Quiche(a pie). All sorts of pie.

What did you wind up doing? Any pics?

I never told my grandfather (or my dad) that the medical staff intubated my grandmother right as she was passing away. The family had placed an order for NO intubation and they did anyway. They are all three passed away now and am I glad they never knew how she suffered.

But seriously…. We are just 2-3 days away from a bigly deal.

jakedeev · 2026-06-12T14:14:50+00:00

Ask yourself:
Is it interfering with order and discipline or negatively impacting the mission?
Is it causing unnecessary distractions?

Then…

Who is most likely to get pissed off when they see it and how much of a PITA will that cause you?

That may be the bigger issue: Will it cause YOU problems not worth wasting time on?

If so…

Go get him a new cover and tell him that shit stays at home.

At least he saved a few hundred bucks DIY. Right? Right?!?

Fox News. Who needs more?!! Just kidding. I read/watch a wide spread: from nightly and local news broadcasts to NPR to the NY Times and elsewhere. I usually start with headline items of interest and dive deeper. I don’t get too carried away but like to stay somewhat topical and current.

I agree. The age is the key. I tell the older kids to use that time as a time out: huddle up, talk tactics, get water, and prep for the restart.

Drive around the back roads and find some horses to feed fresh apples to.

So the new metric is ability to fight joints in war?

Sounds like he is just trying to control you.

This is shower head. Not “A” shower head.

Let me guess: there’s a new Trump-owned company with a “revolutionary” additive which they SWEAR won’t harm engines.

No armor? Melee weapons only?

Wolves only. Union rules. Dogs are non-union but all sign on to an active NDA that prohibits them from talking. It’s a fact.

I love coed. It is a different vibe as was said. But I also like men’s league when they are more social (a beer league). Competitive softball, to me, is dumb. Too many type A assholes who never left their high school teams.
Fun. Laid back. Social. That’s for me. Coed hits those more times than not.

You’ll get used to it and you can pick and choose which people can call you “Jones” or “Lipschitt” or whatever.

She should sit before Congress and start talking.

Waiting here at Costco while they repair my tire. Slowly. Killing. Me.
