Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, with a focus on the continuation of a previous thread. Participants engage in light-hearted banter, celebrating a trivia quiz and discussing various topics, including creativity, humor, and personal anecdotes. One member shares a humorous proposal joke involving a "trivial ring," leading to a deeper conversation about mathematical concepts and the nature of "nothing." The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including frustrations with the medical system following a wisdom tooth extraction, highlighting issues with prescription management and insurance complications. Members express their opinions on dental practices, particularly the necessity of wisdom tooth removal, with some viewing it as a financial racket unless there are complications. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of humor, personal stories, and commentary on broader societal issues, maintaining a casual and engaging tone throughout.

Yesterday I had an idea for a new fun thread. Today, I can't remember the idea. Maybe the idea wasn't very good. If anyone knows what the idea was, please PM me.

You make it sound like growing older is a bad thing. In a sense, I disagree; hell, the older the better. Part of me strives to get older every moment of being.

Sure, there are the aches and pains. But as it happens, that's nothing new.

Brats are the worst. Nothing like bratwurst. They are the best. The fancy ones are even better. Hot off the grill, wrapped in a warm tortilla or bun, and into my tummy :D

The hilarious level rises when my teeth sink into the bratwurst and hot juice squirts out all over the sky (hopefully!). I have no idea why, it just makes earthquakes of laugher erupt from my belly.

I'm with Collin on getting old. My spin is, fill me with wisdom to let me grow happy in my old age, so I may share this happiness with others. I want to be a happy grandfather or old guy and not some grumpy curmudgeon.

New family tradition: treasure maps leading to birthday presents. This is going to get pretty elaborate over the years. The moral of the story is, my son loves the maps I make and the presents I give him.

I stopped by Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday. I looked at some fishing lures and then strolled over to the gun department to see if they had any .22 ammo, they didn't.

There was an elderly (I am 73 so when I say elderly I mean really old) couple there and as I overheard them talking it became obvious that they were buying .223 caliber ammunition for their AR 15 which is an assault style rifle. I listened for a minute as the man told the woman all about grain weight and muzzle velocity. Finally she said: "I like the Remington brand best". He asked: "Why"? She said: I don't know I think I just like the green and yellow box".

I need to stop wasting time and actually study.

Also, I hate all those social buttons in every thread ("Share this thread"). Does anyone really use those?

This reminds me of the time I went Seattle and purchased my last boat. The trailer it was on was painted green and yellow. I jokingly asked the gentleman if he was a Ducks fan. He turned kind of purple in the face. I think he was a Huskies fan.

Oops.

First time doing some kind of work (other than a little bit of tutoring) in three years (I was in school.) About a third of what I made before, but it's on campus, not too demanding, and I feel like I'm still employable. I am also the oldest one there. (I think my supervisor is 10 years younger than me at least).

OW! Rub it, it will hurt, but getting blood circulation in the area will help.

If at first you don't succeed,

You know what's funny about that - it really works! When we would get hurt in martial arts class years ago, the teacher would have us take the object that hurt us and rub it hard against the hurt area. She said, "It transfers the energy back to the object."

L!
O!
L!

But I can't deny, it took the pain away :biggrin:!

My wife and I are being terribly battered by our new bed foot board. I went "14 days without an incident" but now I have several bruises. I am getting ready to do one of these:

And it might get the hurt area away sometimes!:biggrin:

Battered feet?
Try sleeping in flippers. Snorkels are great for headboard protection.

I never understood the purpose of feetboards on a bed. I sleep in a king to keep my feet from getting bored.

Replace the footboard with a diving board. Doing lots of flips before bed helps one sleep like a log. This prevents the frying of feet caused by tossing and turning during the night.

It's not the feet. It's the shins and thighs from walking past it. The mattress is higher than the foot board, so you can't see it. I also came straight down on it (whilst goofing off) on the spot right below my knee once about 3 weeks ago. It still hurts!

We just wanted a pretty bed: http://www.ikea.com/PIAimages/0183966_PE335106_S5.JPG

Yesterday, one of my FB friends posted a picture of herself and her brother near Manhattan Kansas, sitting on top of some kind of informative monument.

I thought it might be Mt. Sunflower, as it looked kind of high up in the air, and I didn't know where Manhattan was, so I posted a comment.

Mr. Spellcheck though, decided that I didn't know what I was talking about...

OMG. Did they build a monument on top of Mr. Sunflower?

Some confusion followed, but they now know all about Mount Sunflower. :smile:
