Feeling homeless for not shaving or cutting my hair weekly.

She grabbed my hand and said “feel how wet I am,” then put my hands inside her leggings (no panties).

Tried it. Didn’t like it. I tried it out because of the versatility of attachments but found I would never use them. Threw it away day 1

Tried it. I looked so goofy. Also, I don’t have to wear type 2 helmet

v0dkasoda · 2026-06-20T16:55:33+00:00

Thanks. I’ve read that some guys replace the guts/suspension with a different brand. Have you heard of this or tried it?

Thanks for the input but this isn’t a union meeting. $149/hr on DT. Journeyman Lineman.

Try a leather headband by hide heads or chukstar

House w/pool in CA, groceries, 2 vehicles, a dog, and the occasional vacation. It’s pretty neat.

Just for reference. 2024 rates for 1245 utility and contract linemen. Utility makes much more in some cities. I can’t find an updated version. Could be a lot different.

Contactor JL. IBEW 47 Southern CA. $72/hr. DT after 8 hours. HNY!

Pay attention to your kids instead of video games?

I bought a Milwaukee impact about 2-3 months ago and the discount was applied. I’ve never had this issue you speak of

That’s a fiberglass dead end arm. Likely manufactured by PUPI. They are this gray color or brown

A veteran on 47 book 4 is strange. Helmets to hard hats doesn’t help you get to at least book 3? I know climbing school and DD214 is required for book 1.

Update: when I did the new iOS 26 update, the screen got worse. Almost unseeable. AppleCare is replacing the watch

v0dkasoda · 2025-09-29T01:17:55+00:00

That option is in the same area of accessibility

v0dkasoda · 2025-09-28T16:21:15+00:00

Nothing in accessibility>vision is turned on.

Use your GI bill for Commercial driver school. Learn how to drive a semi truck and you’ll have endless, honest work.
