Because your getting old.

Because DoD passwords have to be 15+ characters, change every 60 days, can't repeat and a whole slew of other things... Like caps, special characters, etc... I just cut-n-paste from a Word file. Real secure, right? I clear my clipboard ASAP.

You know dogs take on the personality of their owners!??

Diesel, gasoline... LoL... That's how we handle the Asian carp... Not one stinking dink carp body left. Also, from all night snow plowing in the tractor. Drives women crazy! ?

Actually, the Downtown lock @ Chicago Harbor has a dog. They loan her from Tulsa District for the summer. "Ellie", an Australian shepherd I believe. She works the wall chasing geese away. Now that L.Michigan is high water and Dime Pier (Dime Pier is the old pier/pilings between Navy Pier & Chicago Harbor Lock) is submerged, the place where they spray *seagull pheromones in order to keep the seagulls from bothering tourists on Navy Pier. Without a place for the seagulls to hang out, Ellie will be chasing seagulls too! [*Little known fact, if you go to Navy Pier, why seagulls don't divebomb you, your food, etc... Unlike places like say Erie Basin Marina in Buffalo.]

@/dev/null is from Erie, this is the one time in my life I feel sorry for him... What a terrible place to grow up! Poor fella, now I know why he's so desparate... Even with the new XBox scented body wash, probably a no-go.

It's all-you-can-eat. If I was in Golden Corral mgmt... I'd kick her out too! Probably eating them out of house and home! Another note, I find it peculiar that she says: "I never wanna wear that shirt again." Huh???? You think she would say: "I never wanna go to Golden Corral again!" I guess... THAT'S just too hard, impossible! /smh So much "trauma" yet, she can't quit strapping on the feed bag @ that fine all-you-can-eat establishment! Can't say I blame her! Holy Moly! And people want to legalize pot, like society ain't stoned/high enough? I wonder what counsel and the social justice warrior to the stars, @BringBackFergy & @Gugny have to say about this story... They are my guiding light.

Like they had a chance to begin with. What the hell was Microsoft thinking! https://www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/what-does-xbox-smell-like-xbox-body-wash-revealed-/1100-6467339/

And the geese!!!!

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Susanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to

Save the little piece of paper to clean under the finger nail. Exactly. This is just plain bizarre. Where the hell you gonna put a behemoth roll of paper? Damn American Millennials flushing away Canada: http://fortune.com/2019/02/28/us-toilet-paper-consumption-canada-forests/

The OP is a troublemaker. But, I full support him... Think I will buy him some 3 Floyds. I like troublemakers. Oh... I better tag this so I get credit for sucking up: @BringBackFergy

Should name who these people are. ???

I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday I don't care about you It's Friday I'm in love Monday you can fall apart Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart Thursday doesn't even start It's Friday I'm in love Saturday wait And Sunday always comes too late But Friday never hesitate... I don't care if Monday's black Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack Thursday never looking back It's Friday I'm in love Monday you can hold your head Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed Or Thursday watch the walls instead It's Friday I'm in love Saturday wait And Sunday always comes too late But Friday never hesitate... Dressed up to the eyes It's a wonderful surprise To see your shoes and your spirits rise Throwing out your frown And just smiling at the sound And as sleek as a shriek Spinning round and round Always take a big bite It's such a gorgeous sight To see you eat in the middle of the night You can never get enough Enough of this stuff It's Friday I'm in love I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday I don't care about you It's Friday, I'm in love Monday you can fall apart Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart Thursday doesn't even start It's Friday I'm in love

The police in New York City They chased a boy right through the park In a case of mistaken identity They put a bullet through his heart Heartbreakers with your forty-four I wanna tear your world apart You are a heartbreaker with your forty-four I wanna tear your world a part

Roz' is getting up there. TK's not bad. Watch the coupons...

I was hoping for some .gif action!!!

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright I know if I go things would be a lot better for her I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright, the kids are alright, the kids are alright

Totally agree!!! Yeah... It's a fine line between thank yous and "expecting something in return." Dicey. Yet... Something has to check the moral integrity or corruption, graft, etc... Would run rampant.

Yep! I should have been clearer... Noooo cash, ever! So many people love throwing stuff around... Donuts, pop, even a boater wanted to order a pizza 45 minutes early, then when they came through have it delivered on wall. WTF! Now... If they leave refuse lying around, we have to throw it away. But, even straight up stuff like cans of coffee from the commercial boats are NOT contingent on any expectation of service. Just a thank you. Now... Not to be unfair to the cops... They are thee worst coming through as private citizens... They are always asking for preferential treatment. Trying to buy lunch, etc... One even came in via land, on duty, in uniform... Complaining how he couldn't get through with HazMat cargo. He thought that being off duty, out fishing, that he should have priority... Even pulled the "I gotta get to work card, the watch commander will be mad." WTF... A US Senator or Mayor of Chicago comes through NOT in a local, state, or federal official duty capacity... Thet get in the prescribed queue. More and more of this BS is playing out now than it ever was in my 30 years. People love to name drop. Growing up, my Godfather was a cop in town, I wouldn't DARE use his name if I got a ticket... I would be too embarrassed. Now my sister, LoL... God knows how many times... People bellyaching, invoking some kind of priviledge. Shameless. I think the shameless factor is hardwired in people.

My Hometown I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man I'd sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through town He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around This is your hometown, this is your hometown This is your hometown, this is your hometown In `65 tension was running high at my high school There was a lot of fights between the black and white There was nothing you could do Two cars at a light on a saturday night in the back seat there was a gun Words were passed in a shotgun blast Troubled times had come to my hometown My hometown, my hometown, my hometown

It's not really the people... They'd be long gone. Same on a boat. They jump off and swim. It's the blocking of the channel or tying up the train tracks... Let alone the mess or enviro impact. Public servants can receive gratuities. But it has to ethically be done. We take yearly ethics training. The gratuities can't curry favor. I still have to follow the law. There are dollar amounts set. $20 bucks was always the limit. It's closer to $100 now. It CAN'T be cash either. I hope I am making that clear. That's what the gratuity is valued at. NOW, Don's been changing all that in recent years. Lot looser now. In no way shape or form will the gratuity influence the service. Unlike the cops... That take "bribes" through those stickers people put on their cars by the license plates... Just by donating do they think they will get off a ticket? Heck... Some states incorporate them right into plate. What's that suppose to signify? "I donate to cops, so I am trying to influence not getting a ticket written... Look! I paid the graft already!" /smh

Not illegal gratuities under the fed too. Understand. It wasn't a bribe. It was a good act. The equivalent would be a police cruiser pushing a disabled car off train tracks. How would I be arrested for that. Good act.
