  1. Where did I say that you celebrated either? You keep it up and I'm going to vote down pot legalization! Being able to vote our beliefs is what this country is all about. And yes, I have had worries at work due to my Christian beliefs. Maybe not of getting fired (not directly anyway) but of fairness, ridicule, etc. Oh, and keep the metric system out of this.
  2. I have "compliance training" to do as well. Not 30 hours though!
  3. Edit/addion to above: EQUAL would be fine. Certain groups don't stop with EQUAL, and we have pride days, certain ethnic months, etc. that the group wants ALL to recognize, whether we're part of, or believe in, or not! Looking at it, us Christians aren't innocent of this either!

  5. Upgrade from 8.1? ABSOLUTELY! I pretty much skipped that POS called Windows 8!
  6. I've bought all sorts of stuff like this on ebay over the years.
  7. Unless they have changed, you can't transfer the plates unless you sell the old vehicle, the exception would be personalized plates. It was years ago that I tried this, so that may be different now.
  8. I will be in my 50's. My only daughter turns 13 a couple months before I turn 50. Maybe her 3 older brothers will help? (Probably help driving me to drinking more!)
  9. Because we have idiot-proofed everything, therefore the idiots aren't being thinned out of the herd.
  10. That IS less hateful for Tonik! Geesh, Jim. What has gotten into you with being so nice?
  11. I think some people confuse TRUE Christianity with "church goers" or even the Catholic faith.
  12. More time to make sammiches. Hellmutt will have it made for a little while.
  13. My credit is shit, and only recently have even been ABLE to get approved for a credit card. I got it for 2 purposes. One is that since it's a 0% intro for 15 months, I had a $700 purchase that I wanted to make, but not the cash for, although I KNOW I will be able to have that paid off in a certain period of time (less than the 15 months) so yeah, just a short term interest free loan, so to speak. The second reason is to try to build some credit, in order to be able to buy a house in the future. I'm not one that thinks they should finance everything, but to be able to obtain a mortgage would be nice. The plan after it is all paid down is to play the pay it off every month game, not using it for more than we would spend otherwise. The bank account is pretty thin right now, we are in the process of getting on track with our finances, after being together for almost 8 years, and having everything in a mess for that entire time. Our HUGE challenge right now is to reduce all of the SPENDING that we do, beyond bills and food, etc. I have put together a really slick spreadsheet through Google Sheets that we use to track spending, and manage our income/expenses. It has a "bucket" that we put the money into that we need for the planned monthly expenses and weekly expenses, that separates all of that stuff from the rest.

    F U UPS

    Except they left it with your wife! Now you may have to PAY dearly to get it back!
  15. My IR 2135Ti has never failed me! I've had it for about 10 or so years and gets a LOT of use. It's also significantly quieter than the Snap-on, and if you can add some scotch brite pad to the exhaust and quiet it even more, with little to no noticeable impact on performance. Take that shitty hack's (@Isaac's Papa) opinions with a grain of salt, because that's more than what they're worth.
  16. Exactly. Except, I'm not a fan of Snap-on's air impacts. IR all the way! (This is the technician's version of the oil, or tires threads)
  17. 90 psi is for airing up tires. I NEED 150 psi for my air tools to function properly. Then again, what I need it for is a little different. One of these days, I'l get a compressor for at home.
  18. EXTREMELY under-rated for sure! I had forgotten how talented he was, until watching this, then it all came back to me!
  19. Oh, how many taco, nacho, and burrito jokes I could come up with on this one...
  20. Vote? This isn't a democracy! It's a @Casper monarchy!
  21. A coworker was telling me about his first time going up there. He said he took a wrong turn and ended up in that area. A cop pulled him over as he was headed into the area, and told him to get out, not to stop at intersections, and just go. The cop said that they don't even patrol through there.
  22. QFT. Casper's recent actions have me questioning whether someone ( @Tonik maybe?) kidnapped him to take over ORDN!
  23. All I can offer up is what I was told when visiting the area for GM training, which basically boils down to "stay north of 696." I think the actual recommendation was to stay north of 10-12 mile Rd. area. That was just for where it was safe to roam around while visiting.
