Re: Are You a Duke Energy Customer? WTF happened?

I thought that we must have used a lot more AC with the heat wave, but our bill also went up close to $100 last month

Re: Violence in recent times.

Years ago I was working in Catskill NY. I had to replace some telecom equipment after hours - still daylight though around 7pm. When I left I stooped next to my phone truck to separate the defective parts before putting them away. Suddenly a shadow came across me. I looked around and was surrounded ...

Re: OK! Fess Up! Who's On The Medical Weed?

I gave it a try after several years of really bad neck pain that was ruining my life. The only thing that helped was Vicodin which I was prescribed for around 6 years. The Vicodin was okay, but the pain was back as soon as it wore off. So basically I was on a rollercoaster of pain and Vicodin. Physi...

Re: Idea for social isolation

That sounds similar to the old gasoline restrictions in the 70's. In Florida it was by the date and your license plate. If it ended in an even number you could get gas on even days etc...

Re: Diversity is our Strength - Take # 15468456514545645564

I came SO close to being that guy back in the 90's when I was working in upstate NY. I came out from working in an office right on the main drag in Poughkeepsie at around 6pm - bright daylight still - and was kneeling on the sidewalk putting some circuit boards back into their boxes to put back in t...

Re: Opinions Spirt Airlines

Spirit was the worst flying experience I've had traveling. I flew from Tampa to Atlanta and then Atlanta to Los Angeles sitting on basically lawn chairs. The seats were so cramped and cheaply made that I took pictures of them to prove that I wasn't exaggerating when I told others how uncomfortable i...

Re: Austin Commies want to rename city over slavery

That would cost so much for so many...
