Mariah Carey and MickeyD's. I don't think so. Mariah Carey, McDonald’s team up to launch ‘free’ 12 day ‘Mariah Menu’ to celebrate Christmas Wishing you had something to eat while listening to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” on an endless loop in every store? Well now you can, thanks to “The Mariah Menu” at McDonald’s. The Christmas promo by McDonald’s features 12 days of deals, set to begin on December 13th. The deals include some giveaways with purchases, including everything from the iconic McDonald’s cheeseburger to soft-baked chocolate chip cookies are part of the giveaways. Just one of the reasons I don't care to dine at Methodist Churches. Unlike Lutherans they don't know how to make coffee. KOKOMO, IN—According to sources, local church deacon Bill Billings arrived at 3rd Bible Church early this morning to unlock the doors and make the coffee for the morning fellowship hour. As is his custom, he carefully measured out half a teaspoon of coffee grounds to make a giant vat of coffee. "This is the way we've always done it," he said to reporters who asked whether he should add a little more grounds to the machine. "The little card taped to the wall has the instructions written clearly. A half teaspoon does the trick." Sources inside the church claim that the congregation has been using the same tub of Maxwell House coffee since 1997 when it was purchased by Church Secretary Ethel Rutherford, who is now dead. Lighten up. Unlike the deceased Sen. John McCain, deceased look alike Sen. John Thune and the Turtle, Sen. Mitch McConnell: Steve Bannon is a fighter and not some rollover GOPe p*$$y. Washington, D.C. – A defiant Stephen K. Bannon emerged from the D.C. federal courthouse this afternoon promising to deliver Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and Nancy Pelosi the “misdemeanor from hell” following his indictment on two counts related to an unconstitutional contempt of Congress charge. A chilling message? Wasn't that the goal of Totalitarian regimes throughout the ages? Frighten and coerce human behavior? Lame duck lawmaker Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said Friday that he hopes Stephen Bannon’s indictment for failing to comply with a Jan 6th committee subpoena sends a “chilling message.” “It sends a really important message to future invited witnesses, future folks that are subpoenaed. You cannot ignore Congress. … I hope it sends a chilling message,” Kinzinger said while on CNN. Of course the Liverpool bomber's motive was unclear. Downright unfathomable. A TERRORIST who took a taxi to a hospital carrying a homemade bomb was "from the Middle East and was unknown to MI5". Armed police swooped on Liverpool Women's Hospital just before 11am yesterday after the blast in a car park.Well if the suspected terrorist converted to Christianity, he failed. Liverpool bomb suspect 'converted to Christianity at cathedral he wanted to attack' Miscalculation? Some sort of escalation? If our armed forces are going to be in the area of Iran Then clarify the situation and they can miscalculate with 72 overweight zit-faced virgins. The US Department of Defense claims that, on November 11, an Iranian helicopter flew some 25 yards (23 meters) from USS Essex's port (left) side and flew "as low as about 10 feet [(3 meters)] off the surface of the ocean." The chopper is said to have circled the ship three times before departing. Instead of robbing your students of any privacy or dignity, maybe you should have installed sensitive smoke detectors in the rest rooms. No one is stopping you from using Police Liaison Officers and K9s from checking lockers. school decided to remove restroom doors in order to get a grip on drug use and other "significant behavioral events" that have already occurred this year, according to a report. Christina Steele Hantgin, the principal at Austin ISD’s Travis Early College High School, sent a letter to parents explaining her decision while admitting that she could have done a better job communicating her plans, according to CBS Austin. She said in the letter obtained by the station that there have been behavioral events and "conduct violations" that have occurred inside these restrooms, including about 90% of drug offenses. She said there have been no incidents since taking down these doors. (No stall can be viewed from the hallway outside, another report said.)Oh that makes all the difference in the world. A sad story from Ecuador. While they were being rehabilitated and turning their lives around. They lost their lives. QUITO, Ecuador — A prolonged gun battle between rival gangs inside Ecuador's largest prison early Saturday left at least 68 inmates dead in the latest violence to hit the Litoral Penitentiary, which recently saw the country's worst prison bloodbath. The fighting lasted for almost eight hours in the lockup in the coastal city of Guayaquil and authorities attributed the fighting to prison gangs linked to international drug cartels. Videos circulating on social media showed bodies, some burned, lying on the ground inside the prison. Inmates "tried to dynamite a wall to get into pavilion 2 to carry out a massacre. They also burned mattresses to try to to drown (their rivals) in smoke," said Gov. Pablo Arosemena of Guayas province where Guayaquil is located. Perhaps if they weren't so unconventional and flaky they wouldn't have this issue. HARD TIMES ‘Great Sex Depression’ in US sees record number of young Americans not having sex, study finds The data reveals young people are having less sex and are less likely to cohabitate with partners, and women are increasingly going without sex for years. In one finding, the report's authors note that sexlessness is more likely among single people living alone, not those who are married or living with a partner. Only five percent of married people surveyed reported they've gone without sex this year. However, fewer adults are living with their partners: the number of adults in live-in relationships has dropped from 40% to 32% since 2011. Married couples are more likely to be sexually active, but as Millennial and Gen Z Americans delay marriage, the number of sexless individuals grows Born on this day: 15 Nov 1932 On this day: 15 Nov 2016 If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. Genius Award Winner.
In an unexpected discovery, Georgetown University Medical Center researchers have identified what appears to be a significant vascular defect in patients with moderately severe Parkinson's disease. The finding could help explain an earlier outcome of the same study, in which the drug nilotinib was able to halt motor and non-motor (cognition and quality of life) decline in the long term.

The sad thing is, when a cop pulls you over for expired tags, he'll shout at you to put your hands out of the window. He'll tell you not to move, to keep your hands where he can see and if you happen to flinch the wrong way, he'll shoot you full of holes. And the government will claim you should have complied.
But if a child rapist shouts "I'm gonna kill you" and goes for your gun, the government will claim the child rapist is not a real threat and you shouldn't defend yourself. Juxtapose the government position on Kyle Rittenhouse versus the cop that murdered Daniel Shaver. Shaver's murderer cop never served a day and got reinstated to the force just long enough to get a $2500 a month pension. For murdering a guy laying down crying in fear, that's the penalty.

Prosecutors tried to railroad a kid with dummied evidence, 'witnesses' that had no clue, were useless as the prosecution hadn't done a sit-down, chit-shat, before trial to get their stories aligned.

Ahoy morons. 65 + mph winds here since this afternoon. Lost power about 3 hours ago and don't expect it back on until tomorrow at the earliest. I also lost one of my old timers, 120 ft, 36+ inches in diameter Doug fir came down up the hill. Makes me sad. On the plus side it's 2+ cords of good firewood next year. I bought a 9500kw generator this summer but it's not hooked into the house yet. I might have to work on my priorities. I did finish getting the winch and plow hooked up on the mule. Cooking Mrs. Sock dinner on the wood cook stove. Time to stir the potatoes and onions. BIAW

..The US Department of Defense claims that, on November 11, an Iranian helicopter flew some 25 yards (23 meters) from USS Essex's port (left) side and flew "as low as about 10 feet [(3 meters)] off the surface of the ocean." The chopper is said to have circled the ship three times before departing.
One Bosun's Mate, a twenty-foot length of Grade 8, 5/8" link chain, give it a whirl and send it out right over the rotor disc. Don't forget to lead the target a bit. That chain's gonna wrap to center at the rotor mast, and just tear the livin' shit outta the swashplate and pitch links, all in about 1/500th second. Nary a shot fired, not even a targeting radar emitting so much as a single photon. Splash! Splashy! Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at November 15, 2021 10:18 PM (QzJWU) 77

No according to the article, Binger did not personally check that the gun was empty. According to his own closing statement, that means someone would be able to kill him. The rebuttal for the prosecution was a disaster. 5 of the jurors are wearing masks, according to Barnes, but 6 are eliminated tomorrow. As the current pool is 18.

I wouldn't mind getting picked for a jury, but the only time I actually got to the selection phase, I argued with the prosecutor because he wanted me to respond to a stupid hypothetical situation, and then I told the defense that I didn't see a moral difference between stealing a penny and stealing $1000.

I was picked for a felony trial (was passed over for 35 years prior due to my, umm, appearance). Prosecutors tried to railroad a kid with dummied evidence, 'witnesses' that had no clue, were useless as the prosecution hadn't done a sit-down, chit-shat, before trial to get their stories aligned. Was very pleased that the 12 of us in the juror box all saw right through it. Do the duty. It could be anyone that they bring to trial. Posted by: Robert17 at November 15, 2021 10:15 PM (tpXPJ)
I had the same experience. Young black man (Navy veteran) driving a pimped up car at night in the wrong neighborhood ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK, was pulled over by constable's deputy at the end of his shift who had written no tickets, after illegal search the deputy found a baggie with a small amount of weed, and the young man was arrested. Lost his job. He insisted on going to trial rather than pleading to possession (would have been deferred sentence, probably with a few months' probation). It took us about 10 minutes of deliberation to find him not guilty. The judge afterward, in the jury room, told us we reached the right result.

A release of their SM1 or Phalanx system would have been requested from the CIO (he has the coordinates) who is in direct contact with the CO. Given the go, the OOD would have directed WEPs to act on the CIO's directed coordinates and the fucking turkey would have fallen...but the CO blocked the CIO from given the green and the vampire was allowed to fly by...where that order to stand down falls entirely upon the CO or/and the Comdesron Commander is my guess..

Posted by: Boswell at November 15, 2021 10:35 PM (5iUNf) BTW most likely...no wait, absolutely sure that the CO was on deck based upon standard call orders from the OOD and coordinating fire or issuing stand down from the deck that time the target fly within WEPs circle of engagement.

In today's Morning Rant, OregonMuse said:
Just as the jury was being led out, the prosecution said, "oh, by the the way, in addition to 'A' and 'B' I want you to also consider charges 'C, 'D', 'E', 'F', and 'G' as well." I was shocked that nobody protested what seemed to me to be an obviously sleazy end run around due process. Because if anyone is charged with a crime, they ought to be allowed to rebut the charge, or at least defend themselves. But this tactic short-circuits any possible defense. I've been on a grand jury in DC twice, and there's a wrinkle to this in DC. As a creature of the federal government, the Fifth Amendment injunction that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury" applies. For whatever reason, this clause has not been incorporated against the states like most of the rest of the Bill of Rights, so Florida and Wisconsin can allow what OregonMuse described. 1/2 Posted by: Three Humped Camel at November 15, 2021 10:49 PM (oy88l) 248
I served on a month long grand jury in Louisville about 10 years ago. Only had one murder case, pretty much everything else was drugs.

Anyhoo, we also encountered lesser includeds in some of our cases. The thing is, because of the requirement for an indictment, the law was written so that that felony A would require that the prosecution prove a, b, c, and d, while the lesser included B would require that the prosecution prove a, b, and c. If we indicted on felony A, we wouldn't have to vote on felony B on the same facts, and the trial jury could then choose to convict on A or on B; however, if we only indicted on felony B, the trial jury could only convict on B and couldn't consider A. That notion of lesser included seems somewhat sensible.

You can combine the trans fiction with a Fauci votive candle. Ego, my name is Fauci: He's not going anywhere. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country's top infectious disease expert who's provided reassurance to many Americans during the pandemic, says he won't quit until the country gets past COVID-19. "I'm the head of an institute that actually played the major role in the development of the vaccines that have saved now millions of lives from COVID-19," he told CBS' "Face the Nation" in an interview that aired Sunday. "I'm the director of the institute that has now been very important in the basic research in leading to the drugs that will now have an important impact in the treatment of COVID-19. That's what I do. "So, I'm going to keep doing that until this COVID-19 outbreak is in the rearview mirror, regardless of what anybody says about me, or wants to lie and create crazy fabrications because of political motivations," concluded Fauci, the chief White House medical adviser and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Posted by: Darrell Harris at November 15, 2021 10:54 PM (Wo4FI) a psychologist once claimed that it was due to the personalities involved, that liberals tend to score high on opennes in the Big Five personality traits which involves greater willingness to experimentation.

Bully pulpit MisHum is my favorite flavor of Mishum. Being on a jury is on my bucket list. I've never been called. My sainted mother was on the jury for two murder trials. She considered it a privilege. Mrs. Sock seems to get a summons every 3 years or so. She grips sometimes but still goes through with it. She's only been chosen twice. I've never received a summons and I've been a registered voter for almost 45 years.

I'm not sure you can in the Lower 48, but nearer to the pole you can. I was terrified of it when I was really young, because it seems to me the sky was on fire and it sounded like it, too. It is electricity, so it crackles, sort of like a wood fire.

I'm getting the idea of a building backlash and even the solidarity of the medical community in masks, hand sanitizer, and other such Covid theater is wearing thin at least in this particular red area. Due to close family members requiring medical attention of advance age; I have been around both hospitals, clinics, nursing home, rehab hospital, etc. Hand sanitizer stations sit unused and lonely, mask protocols are haphazard, checkin in is now prefunctory with temperature stations, and so on.
In my case, I had Covid early this year and it took awhile to feel better. Most people around where I am seem to be recognizing that natural immunity suffices now. Have only ran into one Covid Karen and even the cardiology docs appear less than enthusiastic about the need for booster shots for my elderly charges despite both charges wanting them for some damn fool reason. Far too many people of a certain age spend their time watching those damn TV commercials to get vaxxed and believe that they are fact. I can't stand to have a TV on when I am not watching entertainment only. Haven't got news that way about 15-20 years now. Posted by: whig at November 15, 2021 11:23 PM (9hXN1) 345

I sat on a jury for a murder trial once. Took a week. We convicted.

4 conditions need to be present to create Mass-Formation
1) There needs to a lot of socially isolated people or people who experience a lack of social bond 2) People who experience a lack of 'sense making'. Unable to come to sensible conclusions. 3) There is a lot of Free-Floating Anxiety (FFA). Free-Floating because there's nothing to connect their anxiety to. No focal point. Unable to identify what's causing and so no way to deal with it. 4) There's also a lot of Free-Floating Psychological-Discontent. People may experience their daily lives as lacking any purpose or meaning Free-Floating Anxiety is the most painful psychological phenomena to experience and leads to panic attacks. In this state of unfocused anxiety the mind tries to connect it's anxiety to something, an "Object of Anxiety". The next piece of the puzzled is a strategy to deal with this Object of Anxiety. So when these pre-conditions are highly present within a population and then the media provide a narrative which indicates a focal-point for this anxiety while at the same time describing a strategy to deal with this object of anxiety then all the anxiety connects to this object of anxiety. 1/2 Posted by: flounder at November 15, 2021 11:37 PM (SH2Zi) 375
If a large segment of people are willing to follow this strategy to deal with this object of anxiety no matter the cost, then in a second step people start a collective & heroic battle with this Object of Anxiety and in that way a new kind of social bond emerges & with that a new kind of "sense making" or purpose. Suddenly life is all directed towards battling this Object of Anxiety. This creates new sense of connectedness with others in the Mass-Formation.

351 Sharon,
Someone made the point somewheres around here that doctors used to be problem solvers and more or less in started in small practices focused on care. Now, since Obamacare consolidated the industry, we get doctors focused on checklists. Not quite true on specialists still, but I have seen enough of them due to medical issues over the years on a repeated basis to avoid or drop the checklist types. Checklist types like vaxxes for some reason, perhaps compensation? Fortunately one elderly relative with oncoming dementia issues just changed docs due to a retirement to a former ER (still moonlights there) doctor as her primary care. He told her to cool her jets on the booster as she is really homebound and at small risk.

Things that used to seem so splendid Don't really matter today. It's just as well the world ended-- It wasn't working anyway.

Regarding statins, I have certain problems with most of them and due to other reasons found out through MRI stress test last year that my major arteries are clear. Had already had peripheral scans etc. of arteries etc. and enough imaging to attract magnets and glow in the dark.
So bad reactions to several of them when the cardiologist tried to get started with them. Ironically, my 'good' cholestrol has climbed and the bad plus triglycerides declined after getting away from that nonsense with no diet changes to speak of.

So on Crunchyroll watched two episodes of Blade Runner: Black Lotus.
I just don't care to watch any more. They captured the atmospherics of the original Deckard movie well but it is set in the 2049 future. Did not see any neon white dragon signs nor Atari. As for the main character Elle? Don't care if she is a gynoid. No emotional attachment with any of the characters. And besides Elle possesses that Mary Sue trait of being super gifted in how to street brawl/parkour plus wield a katana. Posted by: Anna Puma at November 15, 2021 11:45 PM (z/mvF) 391

All the political terminology needs to be redone. Nearly every term used is an anachronistic absurdity, like calling an arnoured regiment "17th Horse" And one of the most absurd is "liberal", which describes those who wish to use whatever they can use to force people to follow very strict rules in every facet of life right down to what you use to bring food home from the grocery store.

Whig, I think he was genuinely surprised that I knew more about the general state of my health to argue with him about what he was proposing. He had this program on his phone where you inputted data about the patient and it told you the percentage difference in risk with high cholesterol if one takes statins. So he plugs in all my data( I exercise, healthy diet, low blood pressure etc) and expects he will come up with a covincing statistic. Instead there is only a 3% difference in risk, 14% to 10%. He was kind of at a loss for words.

Sharon, you went off the script. If you can break through the scripted response, some docs will surprise you.
Had some issues advocating for another elderly relative as the nephrologist wanted to simply blame the hospitalization on acute kidney injury instead of what caused it. I found some bloodwork for the patient just before the big Covid lockdown that had been overlooked. The gent actually had MGUS (precursor to amylodosis and myeloma) and a bad enough case that the resident hematologist then got involved with some biopsies and we are investigating treatments for it along with the alleged idiopathic neuropathy that had been plaguing him for years prior. So fingers crossed, we probably may have found the reason for his kidney injury. The cardiologist kept prescribing lasix which got the gent's electrolytes out of balance and he had a non-diagnosed sinus infection was throwing a lot of deformed white blood cells at it which stopped up the kidneys. Went from normal bloodwork in one month to requiring hospitalization as the gent did not know when and where he was.

Whig, had my annual checkup today with a new doctor. One of the hazards of being a little over 29 is that doctors tend to retire.
------- My Doc of 20+ years retired when O'care came in. I do not blame him. Problem is, by then, we were actual first-name acquaintances. Half of the rare visits were spent chewing the fat about people we both know, and interests we both have. If I had a complaint, he *listened*... not just diagnostically, but to *me*. The new Doc, AKA 'Doogie Howser' is probably competent, but hears selectively. It's as though he is running through diagnoses and trying to fit one to the patient. I often feel that I should pat him on his head and say, 'You're not listening'. To him, I'm just another complaining old guy.

Posted by: Braenyard If you want to try a cheap way to raise HDL (good cholestrol), Niacin supplements can do it but get the allegedly non flushing type. Start low with the supplements and consult a doctor before doing it but it will raise your HDL. The risk is that you take too much and flush which is unpleasant and not life threatening. I did that while on statins and got a good ole full on flushing incident. Feels like a bad sunburn and lasts about 20-30 minutes or so. Food high in Niacin are a better bet.

Calling a 14th AF pilot a Flying Tiger if there were any of the original AVG still alive would start a fight. The 14th AF Association started to call themselves Flying Tigers in the 1960s since Chenault was their commander. But the truth is, all three pursuit squadrons of the AVG were disbanded and on 4 July 1942 the three fighter squadrons of the 23rd FG of the China Air Task Force stood up with less than ten pilots of the original AVG in their ranks.

Posted by: Mike Hammer, To him, I'm just another complaining old guy.
Mike, I have come to the conclusion that a lot of docs nowadays dismiss patients that do not conform to the script. I had to fight over two weeks to get doctors to consider something other than the old guy overdosed on lasix even when a prior ignored bloodtest before the shutdown indicated something going on. They ignored his sinus infection despite cat and mri imaging of the head and the Radiologist report showed both sinus blocked when he was hospitalized and then one sinus blocked throughout the rest of his stay. The hospital despite my pleading daily never sent an ENT to consult. Took him out to an ENT from the rival hospital system and used that other hospital's imaging to instantly figure out it was an untreated sinus infection. Treated it and the old gent went back to himself within a week. Turns out he could not tolerate his CPAP with the sinus infection so could not sleep. On the mend now in a rehab skilled nursing facility. Posted by: whig at November 16, 2021 12:15 AM (9hXN1) 463

BTW, in DC, serving on a local grand jury (the federal grand jury was an entirely different beast) was a commitment. First, understand that there's no voir dire, so once you've been selected, you're going to serve. You might be able to make a case for deferral, but that just means that you serve a few months later. Second, understand that the grand jury doesn't hear just one case; on my first grand jury, we conducted business on over 200 cases. You either served for 3 days/week for 8 weeks or 5 days/week for 5 weeks, with at least 2 recall days after the main service to wrap up business. (The "at least" there is important; on my second stint, we had a third recall day because the court decided our jury needed to handle a particular case that couldn't be handled on the previous recalls.)

I'm guessing we'll see lots of terrorist "convert to christianity" for cover. I know in the Muslim religion you're allowed to lie if it's for the greater good of following their teachings, so i wouldn't be surprised if they can go through the conversion process, while essentially crossing their fingers, and it would still be kosher with Islam. If they essentially think Christianity is a fake religion there isn't much of a breaking of rules to then pretend to join them.

Could be that you don't absorb niacin very well or some other genetic issue. You could try more eggs as egg yolks are high in HDL regardless of what paid research by cereal companies said.
However, I do think that inflammation is going to turn out to be a big predictor of future health rather than specifically cholesterol levels. Apparently, Insty has a link tonight where they found that Parkinsons was affected by some vascular damage in the brain that permitted inflammatory proteins to cross the blood brain barrier. They might find more examples if they look where a leaky gut or a leaky blood brain barrier can result in some bad problems. Posted by: whig at November 16, 2021 12:20 AM (9hXN1) 473

Calling a 14th AF pilot a Flying Tiger if there were any of the original AVG still alive would start a fight.
The 14th AF Association started to call themselves Flying Tigers in the 1960s since Chenault was their commander. But the truth is, all three pursuit squadrons of the AVG were disbanded and on 4 July 1942 the three fighter squadrons of the 23rd FG of the China Air Task Force stood up with less than ten pilots of the original AVG in their ranks. Posted by: Anna Puma at November 16, 2021 12:09 AM (z/mvF) yeah I know all that, the AVG was the original, blah blah blah, but the 14th AF still had the patch with the winged tiger, so what do you call the dudes with those patches, flying mopeds?

481, Mrs. Peel,
I have actually a good relationship with the physician's assistant that worked under my previous PCP for years and he now has a new doc 'supervising' him. He takes time, listens, and coordinates care with my other specialists. Does the routine stuff that I need and I can get an appt. for issues that require antibiotics like a sinus infection. He has been in the area for awhile and can give me reference to other docs such as a good urologist if needed. You can also talk to a specialist and ask them (if they have been practicing for awhile) who might be a good PCP. Posted by: whig at November 16, 2021 12:34 AM (9hXN1) 495

As for modern "romance", part of the problem is that the left has convinced women that they shouldn't try to make a man happy. They've promoted a selfish, money- and status-obsessed lifestyle and denigrated having a family. And they've medicated women out the wazoo - antidepressants and BC, both of which frequently reduce libido (which, and I shouldn't have to point this out, will make you unhappy. Sex is very important. Being asexual should be considered a sign of physiological or psychological issues, not an orientation). So you have millions of bitter, miserable women who hate men. How are you going to write a romance about and for those women?

529 Romeo13, not necessarily, Feinstein used to be on some Vet committees, try calling her local staff. Even if your congress critter is a dem, to some degree they are running scared due to the jungle primary.
BTW, the caseworker normally do not care whether or not you vote blue or red (at least in the recent near past) but every satisfied case results usually in more votes for the pol that helped them. Averages about 5 percent boost overall for votes for a congress critter with good caseworkers. Al D'Amato survived in NY for a long time because of excellent constituent service.

I don't get fevers so that would have stood out big time. The only fever i have had in 30 years was as a result of the second jab. Posted by: Quint at November 16, 2021 01:07 AM (NXntH) 540

ON coof tests, antibody test is relatively easy and will tell if you were exposed to it (or had the vaxx) in the relatively recent past. A more specific test involves the memory cells. The FDA has approved a T-Cell test for Covid infection in March of this year. B cell tests could also do that but unaware of an FDA approved test which could make insurance coverage of such test dicey.
Both T and B cells are involved with long term resistance against covid rather than simply antibodies. Posted by: whig at November 16, 2021 01:08 AM (9hXN1) Posted by: Braenyard at November 16, 2021 01:09 AM (qYMk7) 543

Posted by: Braenyard at November 16, 2021 01:09 AM (qYMk7) Thanks! With the pan off, I now have unfettered access to the entire crankshaft. I don't expect any difficulty at all with removing the remaining five pistons. Then I will hone the cylinders with a ball hone, bought brand new for the occasion. Replace the three most-worn pistons with the new ones I have. I can pretty much tell by the state of the spark plugs which cylinders were the worst offenders as far as pumping oil goes. I do have a brand new set of standard rings, too. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 16, 2021 01:18 AM (P3gRi) 548

You're kinda self-fucked there, Mindless.

You were not invited, it seems? Oh, and I've burned phone time with AOP as regards a few engineering efforts. He IS the real deal, there, and was most helpful towards my securing successful results.

Painting the interior of the house. I can't decide which of these I hate most: 10' ceilings, 10' walls, my ladder, I am using 5 colors (it looks good but I am an idiot for using 5 colors), the endless and tedious cutting in, 18 doors * 2 sides, 14 sets of door trim, that the previous owner a picked a color at complete odds with my choices (2 coats for everything), crappy dollar tree brushes that shed bristles randomly (I am cheap, OK), the house is a construction zone (I need orange cones), washing brushes, closet interiors, crawling behind appliances, and it screws up my morning coffee and tossing waffles at the cable news on TV.

At least you broke into a relative's house. It would have been really awkward if the house was owned by complete strangers. That is pretty funny story, how does one paint a few hundred square feet and not notice such things as the paint is wrong. But it does.

I know I don't comment here often, at the least to thank you all for making this place special for me, but Petula Clark compelled me to. Well not really, it was MH's blurb about here that did it. Thanks for that MH. I never realized just how special she is. You didn't mention her signature song Downtown, which I couldn't recall but I felt it was missing so I looked it up. Lo and behold in the search, I also found out that she had hit singles in German, French, Italian, and Spanish. Not her English songs being hits in those countries but she sang them in those languages. Amazing, she actually went to the 'trouble' to do that for fans in those countries, and while I haven't followed through, I suspect she actually knew the languages.
Again, thanks for instigating me to learn that about Petula Clark, for causing me to listen to Downtown and YT, and most of all thanks for brightening my day, every day. Here's Petula singing Downtown in German: tiny.cc/sujluz Posted by: Dusty at November 16, 2021 04:13 AM (PccTh) 593

I am amazed by Ohikhobo's remedy. I Have had herpes for over 6 years with frequent outbreaks. Sometimes I average 2-3 times per month. Before one breakout could end, the next would begin. Nothing has helped me. I came online in search for a possible way to see how I can fight this virus so I found Ohikhobo here online after seeing a lot of testimonies of how he cured herpes and other diseases with natural herbs so I decided to give it a try I only took his remedy for two weeks and I was completely cured. I recommend Ohikhobo's remedy to anyone suffering from herpes that wants to be completely cured too.
