    ***Official 2022 Weather Thread***

    Cold weather question I'll insert here rather than starting a new thread, I've always wondered. When the garage temp is above freezing, I may have puddles from runoff that stick around for weeks, But when it gets as cold as it is now, the puddles seem to dry up within a day. Why is that? Why...

    Is Fibromayalga Real?

    To lighten up things: this post triggered a memory. One of the times I was in the ER with my wife, a nurse was drawing her blood.

    Is Fibromayalga Real?

    She never did. At one time, they put her on a morphine patch. All that did was make her sleep. And several pills just caused depression.

    Is Fibromayalga Real?

    What’s going at Casey’s?

    Stopped in Kum and Go a few weeks ago on a Wednesday. I grabbed a slice of pizza and went to check out. It was full price. I asked "Aren't they $1.00 on Wednesdays?" "They are if you have a rewards card." I hate that crap.

    Help: fridge is rattling

    If you turned off the water, it is probably that small copper tube feeding water that is rattling. Anytime we messed behind the fridge, that piping would rattle.

    Friday OT #2 - Six Feet Under

    My wife passed away at a relatively young age last year. The line at the visitation was so long, I never thought it would end. And man, I wanted it to just be over with. But I sure didn't feel like partying. Even going out with 13 friends of my wife and mine to toast her with her favorite...
