ExiledInIllinois

We were a Courier-Express family! ***** the Buffalo EVENING News! 😉 😏

😆

Thnx... Agree. MiL has been complaining for years she read the newspaper a day late (busy doing housework or working, whatnot)... I guess she's on time today! 😆 😏

It takes 4 hours to drive from Harrisburg, PA to Syracuse, NY... How the hell do they get it to Newstands on time? They can't possibly fly the shipment, or can they?

That's how my wife got her MLIS (Masters Library & Information Science) degree (U of I) paid for. This was like over 25 years ago... She had to agree to stay working in Illinois for a certain number of years.

WTF is that leaking all over highway? It's China, gotta be benzene or something:

You are a gentleman. What? You don't do a "Chicago Exit"??? ....That is, drive hard in the far left lane and then cross over 4 right lanes at last second to make the right hand exit? 😆 Anyway... One time a few years ago my older sister was driving me on the Kensington Expressway into BFLo. The expressway was going down to one lane on right for construction. She is zooming ahead on left... Now, traffic wasn't at a standstill, plenty of time to get over right and keep flow going. Not a time where all available lanes needed to be used with a high merge point near the dwindling lanes. She actually was causing more "slack" in traffic by NOT zippering it up early... Anyway the exchange went like this: [Sister zooming ahead on left] Me: "Geeze! [Her name here] what the heck you doing, get over, don't be a merge weasel!" My older sister: "I am a lady, they'll let me in!" 😆🤣😂 I immediately lost the battle and just thought to myself: "Just let it go Eric!" That's the mentality that exists out there. /smdh...

30% of the world uses toilet paper. Yup, 70% of world fends for itself: https://www.villages-news.com/2020/04/03/70-percent-of-worlds-population-doesnt-use-toilet-paper/

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Psalm 37:21 "The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously." Most loans are repaid more than what was borrowed. Deuteronomy 23:19 - "Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury." BINGO!

The loan principle is probably paid off on all these loans... It's the usury, interest that's most likely being forgiven. I got no problem with cutting the parasites off... They sucked enough blood money.

Geeze... And some people think Chicago is bad!... It's like Sunday Mass here compared to other places. I just drove into Brooklyn a few weeks ago. Place is a zoo! Anyway... Still remember what my brother would say, he was an OTR trucker: "They will not look at you in Chicago when they cut you off, in NYC, they'll stare you down an cut you off." I made sure to stare people down a few weeks ago! 😆 I had a rental with Texas plates.

Yes... That guy is an a-hole... BUT drivers can't have a single file line stretch all the way to next light causing gridlock.

Called: Merge Weasels. Yes. It's better to utilize all lanes. One caveat. "Zipper" it up. Take your turn. There are even signs: "Use all lanes, merge at merge point."

Why? 3 point games already exist going to OT. Wouldn't teams push to win it in Regulation?

All games should be 3 points. Why are regulation games 2 points and OT/SO games 3 point affairs? Make regulation wins: +3 OT/SO wins: +2 OT/SO loses: +1 Play 4 on 4 for the whole game or make ice at least international size. Just not enough room out there with all the advancement in talent and equipment/skate technology... ...The North American game originally had 6 skaters and it was dropped down to 5. Make it 4 now. We see how exciting OT is 4 on 4... OR, again, make ice surface bigger. Trap hockey sux... Waiting for odd-man rushes blow. More wide-open play

Not so much the precursor, but toilets existed in conjunction with pots...Going back to the Romans and Greeks and other cultures... Anyway... @Gugny is wrong: https://www.menshealth.com/health/a26322744/is-it-normal-for-men-to-pee-sitting-down/ Then there are the uncut guys out there since antiquity... They probably have a few words for Gug's narrow view of the world. 😆

Would you be happier going back 90 years? Take the good with the bad.

And if you're using a chamber pot... I sure the hell hope you're really not standing all that much! What a hell of a mess one would make trying to hit that small opening... 😏 Let alone the splash of a shallow container... 😆

No. It implies using or hovering over it too.

Who says one is sitting? One can be on something while standing or sitting. Nothing wrong with either.

Which leads to: "They don't have a pot to piss in." Or some other variation of that saying...

Disagree. I always heard "piss"... Who sh*ts in a pot unless it's 20 below zero out. Anyway, I am taking the shi... right to the hole. 😉

Always thought it was: "Piss or get off the pot." In reference to the outhouse days. Most certainly one didn't run outside at every little urge... That's when the chamber pot came in handy... Especially during inclement weather... And had to be shared amongst different members of the house.
