Wayne-

That's what I did. I ignored the wife, tried to "ride it out", worked, actually got better for about a day...

Now steroids, antibiotics, inhaler, threats of hospitiliazation and/or death from doc if I continue to try and smoke-I cut back to a pack a day, lol, multiple re-visits, chest x-rays, blood tests, inability to even walk without coughing, massive headaches, snot everywhere...

I'd do the same damn thing you are doing all over again, lol - I admit it.

Nick-

Dakota can call me Gunny all he wants. Every time I see it I think of "my" Gunny. I don't even remember his name, and I have seen Gunnery Sgts come and go over the years.

I've told that story before, so I'll be short and sweet.

You fucked up in his company, you had 3 choices. Article 15, 6x6x6, or fist-city with the Gunny (he spoke in the 3rd person like that).

My infamous Gary Barton (a constant repeat offender) made the major mistake of going with option 3 ONCE. His page 11 was a mile in length, those holes he had to dig were all over the battalion area, and I guess he figured he stood a good shot of taking the old (to us) man.

It's the only time I ever saw Gary get his ass kicked, and no one ever tried option 3 again. That was almost 2 decades before that Clint Eastwood flick (I forget the name) where they tried to kick HIS ass. Hollywood had to have stolen that scene from H&S co. Battalion Landing Team 1/2, in the mid 70's---I swear to Christ, lol

Cigar chompin', Chesty Puller lookin' bad motherfucker... Ya, he can call me Gunny... I only wish he knew what a great compliment it is.

I wonder where your big black bear went to hunker down during the blow. Maybe he ended up in Ohio. If he registered he can vote as well. Prob can vote even if he is not registered.

but the important thing I wanted to report is that the Green Bay Packers stock certificate ( which resides in the garage) is unscathed.

A man must establish his priorities.

A couple of doors down across my street, a neighbor moved into his house 3 weeks ago after a reconstruction from a fire during Hurricane Irene last fall. Over a year without a house...

There is a huge hole in the gable end of it. That has to suck.

We get a "venturi effect" along what is known as the Linglestown corridor, as we are at the base of the Blue mountains--think of a giant version of a street with high-rises with the wind trying to blow right down the street.

Edit
Sandy came ashore 81 miles from here as the crow flies (very fucking fast, last night--the crow that is, lol). We were getting slaughtered when the hurricane was over 120 miles in the Atlantic, and from then on. It actually got BETTER when it got closer to us. Talk about a massive storm- They said if you were in a commercial airliner flying over it, it would take 2 and half hours from one end to the other.

I sat and watched footage last night... and as some of those waves and surges came in, the image that kept resonating in my head is the wave from the movie 2012.

The houses burning in Queens.. knowing that they are basically built on top of each other is just scary to imagine.

Foster.. glad to hear you are feeling better and safe.

Hope all the members that visit here are having similar "luck" as you have had.. or better.

Welp, this must be why I can't get a hold of anyone in NJ/NY/PA right now. Hope you stay safe and keep power. Good luck

Gunny, you should get some of these light in the ass teachers and computer geeks to come out and shingle for you. A little hard work might straighten their asses out a little bit.

Sorry you had pneumonia, I use to get bronchitis twice a year when I smoked a pack a day!

But surely there are Viking fans available who have nothing to do on the next eight Sundays or so. Or the next 52, for that matter.

Got a text from my buddy in new york finally, his phone had died in the flood, along with everything else he owns. He has no power and doesn't see it coming back soon. All he has is his new phone and a book bag full of clothes now. He's pretty upbeat though, his last text said, "I'm ok and im insured so f yeah."

    Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
    Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
    Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
    dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
    dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga

    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
    beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
    beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
    beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
