  1. We live S of Richmond VA., and have not recovered from 2008. It's a real "no takers acres!" Not looking to sell, been here since 2004, in fact, never owned a house for this long before.
  2. I didn't know he was signed??
  3. Don't do it till you have a better place locked up. Are you leaving the area?
  4. Great to hear that! As a dog owner/lover all my life, I knew what/how she was feeling, and it's good that it ended well.
  5. Time and place...NOT!
  6. And her family too! 2) The Ryan brothers, Rex & Fredo.
  7. I was prepared for another English teacher.
  8. Hold interviews on Chippewa st on weekends.
  9. Geez, all the past talk about curses, and now we have another issue to worry about. My wife & I will be cremated and have a double wide "niche" reserved.
  10. Funny, he never said a word about selling his soul!
  11. Can you do boiled peanuts? Much bigger than kettle corn, if you're going south. BTW, they are disgusting to look at.
  12. The draft is over, there's plenty of time to reconstruct the scout staff.
  13. I was very blessed. Had two employers, as an adult. One for 35 yrs and the other for 12. While I would welcome some extra income, I'm not planning on going back to work. Anyway there are not many interesting opportunities at this point.
  14. I have to believe that there will be a steep learning curve for the installers. We had a hail storm, end of Feb., and every house on our side of the street, and a few on the other side had their roofs replaced. From what I saw, this is not done by "skilled" workers. These new solar shingles are likely very fragile, and have to be installed properly to be effective. The crews that I observed would likely not be successful at that.
  15. I never liked him, for obvious reasons BUT it's very sad to see him suffer with that. As I recall his son was injured in college, and was a left with quad paralysis.
  16. Having done flight plans for trans-pacific flights, back when the 747-100's could only fly 8 hrs, without landing, weight is very critical. I used to call the gate to get a "kid count." If I needed more help, I'd ask for an "oriental count." I know, that's so un-PC but that was the 70's & 80's and the little people weight adjustment make a difference. That didn't work too well with the Manila flights because they carry 2x their body weight in baggage. So, based on that, obese passengers should be paying a higher fare. Weight is still money! That''s why everybody is flying with minimum fuel. Fuel=weight, and reducing weight saves money. If there are any un-forecast enroute winds or weather, you're going to make a "complimentary" fuel stop somewhere.
  17. No, because that's a good 200 years off.
  18. That's a big reason why I would never travel across the Pacific. Did it in the 70's, and swore next time would be on a super sonic plane. Didn't think that was an unreasonable expectation 45 years ago! International flights operating out there should have larger seats.
  19. In BUF one week ago. All in S Buffalo. Lunch at Ilio Depaolo's & dinner at Curleys. Both were great but Curleys, on Ridge Rd in LA was better!
  20. I couldn't watch that! Can't get passed the stuttering dumb as*.
  21. Not a good fit???? We LOVE people who are not a good fit.
