Huzzah! I have a new niece down in Texas. Maggie was born just about an hour ago! 6 lb 15 oz, and 20.25 inches long! And she share the same birthday with her 3 year old sister.
Wooot!
Do you use a circular saw for that?Meh. Time to chop some pallets up for a fire
Sawzall actually. Circular saws can catch the nails, and that's never good. Sawzalls are much more forgiving. If you had a FB page I had some posted pics of the Celtic-knotwork grain on some of the 'real' logs I was splitting.
Tip for cheap woodburners: If a landscaper offers you unsplit wood for $100/cord, most like it is going to be all the pieces he didn't want to split himself. Man this stuff is GNARLY.
...Aand I still have to get to the dentists eep!

I always used a circular saw and just avoided the nail for the most part.
Holy... crap. After the earthquake last year, Japan MOVED FIVE FEET TO THE EAST. The whole country. That's how powerful the forces at work there were.

It's not the nail you see that gets you, it's the nail you don't see. I lost a circular saw that way. Broke the belt on it snd I'm not tinkerer enough to fix it.
Bleh. Waiting at the dentists sux

Missing points? I can give you an arrow-like branch to the knee to drive the point home.
Trust me. I miss points all the time.
But I speak three languages and moonlight as a stripper when I'm not in my college classes.
I bring wood.
At least tell me someone lost a tooth!I was at a fight once, and a hockey game broke out.Nope no fighting or checking, not that that stops some people.
Nope face shields or cages are required, however I did make a turn way sharper then I should have and ended up slamming backwards into the boards.
@FHDM: Nuh-uh. That excuse doesn't fly. I have what can be kindly described as a special relationship with time, which is to say I have no sense of time whatsoever, but I still get the kidlet and myself to school on time every day. It's not easy. Especially when you're extra distractible, but I know it's possible. I just can't bear the rudeness of being late. My dad (who also has dyscalculia) made us late to everything when I was growing up and I hated it, always apologizing everywhere we went and never being able to just relax and enjoy stuff because we were always rushing around. So I learned how to be on time even with my crappy sense of time. Things are so much more peaceful that way.
et tu, lynora?! Everyone has their pet peeves I guess. I tend not to get along with people who have time issues as their pet peeve because it's always someone else's fault when the show is on the other foot and they are late. My issue with this comes from my mom who will throw a hissy fit if you are late or make her wait but will not have a problem with being late herself, i find most other people who insist on punctuality are the same way.

Yah that was last winter. And all I had at the time was my battery tools to replace it. Man a few pallets become a big chore when using battery-pack tools to cut them up. I made sure I had a sawzall that uses current this time around

Just had to replace the catalytic converter on my S10, so I feel your pain Jess.Ah, the S10. Awesome truck. My younger brother had one for several years.
I love my little truck truck. For being 11 years old, it still runs pretty good, even with the couple repairs its had.

Yeah that Lestat movie with Aaliyah was eminently forgettable.Indeed. Sad thing is, I used to love the Anne Rice books. Even went to one of her public Halloween parties one year. I dressed as a priest - it was awesome. People kept coming up to take pictures with me.
Anyway, then a few years back, Rice got into some big stink with Al Copeland, the owner of Popeyes Fried Chicken, because he bought a refurbished a building she liked and had written into one of the Lestat books. She acted like a f&~~ing child during the whole fiasco. I haven't read any of her stuff since.
This... is the funniest thing I've ever heard.
Veggie burgers are f&*%ing awesome with maple syrup and bacon. Trust me.Mmmmm....Guinness.
But veggie burger?!? Blergh!
That actually sounds pretty good.
Also, my boss changing stories regarding a 5 minute grace period with the punch clock to the point the his boss had to get involved, his standing "if you're on time, you're late" policy, and his being caught changing the clocks in our place of business so that everyone would be on his time lead to other issues with me and time.

Fair enough. I'm pretty laid back about other people's punctuality (within reason, and if it's all the time I start giving start times half an hour before I actually want them there), but I hate being late myself. It screws up my whole day. I was late twice last semester and both times it bugged me the whole day. Once was because of icy roads; naturally I chose getting there in one piece over getting there on time. And the other time was my own stupid fault. I was having one of those mornings and I forgot to grab my keys as I left the apartment, and then had to get the maintenance guy to let me back into my apartment. That was the pits because I didn't just screw up my day, I screwed up my son's day too. :(
And this is why I hate being late.
Classified docs reveal why Tolkien failed to win '61 Nobel Prize
Interesting......
Of course! It was won by someone we've never heard of! That quote either came from an idiot, or someone for whom English is a second (far second) language.

Who is Urizen? Why is he posting in our thread?
The rumor for the next flick is that the villain will be Khan.While I enjoyed the reboot, I don't see this. They can name the character Khan, but it won't be THE Khan.
If they do Khan, though it would need to be Khan from the Original Series, and not from the Wrath of Khan. You could do something fun and make Khan an ally in the next movie.

I ask myself that very question. Smoke him out.

OK, it's 4:20 somewhere ...
How come I don't get smoked out?
You're exhaling too soon?
I question whether there's anything to smoke.

fie on this. If this were true we would not have a new star trek movie to begin with.
I blame Cosmo.

Nope. They didn't remake a previous Star Trek to make that movie.

The only time I'm anal about time is work. We have several accounts that are very time sensitive. And I feel that if a customer is told I will be there at 8am, then I owe it to them, and their money, to be there at 7:45am.
I stressed to him the night before that BMW/Mercedes is very time sensitive, we MUST be removed from the interior of the building by 8:30am. The pay us $195/month to follow these instructions.
Otherwise although I myself am a timely nut, I do not hold everyone to my standards on the matter.

Morning Moorluck! Good luck with the n00b! Remember we were all n00bs once, be gentle!Morning folks, a good night sleep does wonders for a man.I've almost forgotten what one of those is like.
Dude, you're kids are older than mine, so tell me - does it get any better?
Feel free to lie.
please?
I say new guy as in he was hired 3 months ago. This week boss is up in Boston with his girlfriend, and this guy has been late everyday.
Wed: 45min late, Thur: 20min late, Today: 10min late BEFORE he calls to tell me he's going to be another 30min.
I'm getting tired of calling the customers and telling them we're going to have to reschedule them on account of this douche.
Why does this guy still have a job?
EDIT: Naked what?
Because I can't fire him. Although he may not after tomorrow. Boss will not be happy that the Advornia's dropped our service because we couldn't be there until 45min AFTER our scheduled time. :(
Did I mention I speak THREE languages?
Uri!

Wouldn't that be kinda what they did with the first in the relaunched series? I mean he was rather "Kahn-like" I think.

I don't define them; they define themselves in a complex interaction with All That Is. I just recognize them.

My outlook is a lot like this.
Diane is chronically late and it drives me out of my mind. Lots of my friends run late, but I tolerate it.
Tardiness in a professional setting is unacceptable!
I actually had to explain to an adult who came late to a job interview late why he didn't get interviewed or get the job. Unbelievable!
EDIT: Naked crankiness for ToP again !?
