cakefool, look into the book treating your own back.

I do a few exercises a day and am better off for it. My sisters back is worse than mine and she hasn't had to have any extra stuff done after she had to have an epidural a few years ago. Trying to avoid the spinal fusion like my father ended up with.

Thank you I will do. Is there likely to be any significant difference between editions? I'm seeing versions from the 80s through to 2011.

I really like dogs, but I get what Cakefool's talking about. Shoving the dog out the way like that isn't really that bad. Besides, too many people refuse to assert themselves over their animals, and they get all dominant and aggressive (people who think their dogs think of them as "mummy" and "daddy", I'm looking at you).

On the other hand, if someone kicked/hit a dog of mine and meant it, I'd probably go apeshit.


I lost my poo poo on a friends now ex-girlfriend when she tried to kick my dog. She was one of the lovely Chihuahua owners who never puts the loving thing down and buys tea cup ones that are inbred as gently caress and have a life span of 5 years max. She put her dog down on the ground and my dog came over to say hi, not acting aggressive or anything, just kinda excited to figure out wtf the tiny dog looking thing is. She apparently thought this meant my dog was attacking hers,tried to kick her but luckily missed and picked up her dog. Worst type of dog owner.

So I may be buying my dad's old house that he's been renting out. The best feature of it?



A barn with an apartment upstairs and room for four cars inside (or a massive industrial car lift).

The best part? When I said something about potentially knocking the barn down because it's an eye-sore my wife suggested that we keep it but just put new siding on it so it doesn't look so trashy so that way we can have a garage for her car in the winter and I can have a garage for car projects and other assorted tom-foolery.

Another Wednesday, another tire stabbed to death on my work van. This time they also got 5 out of 6 tires on the box truck as well, and another coworker's van to boot. Also they smashed out a few windows in one of our outlying storage houses. This is the third week in a row that this poo poo has happened, it's getting real old.

I think this is the stage where on a Tuesday afternoon you inflate all your work van tyres to 100psi and leave them overnight to see if you find a dismembered corpse in the morning.

That's totally awesome, a car barn with an upstairs apartment is something I've wanted for a long time. If the apartment was comparable to my current one, I wouldn't even need the house!

It would be just like TaleSpin or one of those mythically badass bush pilots who live in their hangars :allears:

Apparently back in the 70's my dad had an office for his asphalt business up there while working full time for GM. The barn also used to be much, much bigger and stretched out 70ft to the left, but they knocked that half down in order to sell the property that a massive McMansion sits on now.

The apartment is currently full of poo poo that my dad has collected over the years and also may be inhabited by raccoons and mice, but I bet I could clean it out and fix it up and if my brother wanted to he could live up there

50% chance i quit by monday, i just canīt deal with the bullshit.

After the loving bus of the risers incident all my guys, including me are getting health and safety training (mandatory) over two saturdays, zero reprocussions for the bus drivers. And when i went totally loving ballistic on the HR-director for the bus line i am now persona non grata anywhere in the building except the shop. The reason i went of is that they are pinning the blame on the tech working the order when the bus got damaged. I saved his job but it is utter war out there now. I had to pull down a sign on our entrance declaring that "busdriver entering shop premises will be doused in diesel and set on fire"

Do what now? they hosed up, but you and your guys catch the flak? how does that work?
I'd say that if you are to be made responsible for everything that happens in the shop, then no drivers get to come in the shop. Basically, what your sign said.

One of these days I need to sort through my grandfather's old collection of laser disks and get the good stuff out. There is a sealed copy of 2001 in there along with a bunch of random pornos that I could probably sell for a couple bucks.

I'll watch football if it's on and I have other people to watch it with, otherwise meh. Baseball I can only watch at the stadium, it's boring as gently caress on TV (I really miss going to Turner Field and Atlanta-Fulton before that, go Braves).

But hockey? Hockey I will watch whenever. Which admittedly still isn't that often, but I'm not a big sports person in general.

That's the part where I say nooooooope, gently caress Hockey. If that sport's best talking point is beating the poo poo out of each other and it's not UFC / actual sports where beating the poo poo out of each other is the actual original idea then it deserves to disappear.

UFC and boxing probably also deserves to disappear but that's more due to the fact it's existence is more about gambling and also is utterly corrupted by organised crime than any sport. Beating the poo poo out of someone sports without the gambling and corruption are cool if if want to do that kinda thing.

And dont tell me that the sport would be soft cocked without the biff. The local rugby league comp read the riot act and got serious about fighting - so now if you want a get square or want to take exception to some one, you get your team mates and hit them with 350kgs of legitimate tackling. It adds to the game big time as you see two big meatheads get themselves worked up and try to outdo each other with big legitimate hits and just simply play harder / faster.
