This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related, you can discuss whatever you would like, as long as it is clean. Remember we have families that have their children involved in the GPS fun and we don't want to make parents feel uncomfortable when their children ask what that word means.
Have fun...
This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.
"MY" quote of the week !

2. I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
3. Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.
4. I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

6. You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me
7. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
8. Earth is the insane asylum for the universe
9. I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are just missing.

12. God must love stupid people; He made so many.
13. The gene pool could use a little chlorine.
14. Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.
15. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again
16. Being 'over the hill' is much better than being under it!
17. Wrinkled Was Not One of the Things I Wanted to Be When I Grew up.
18. Procrastinate Now!
19. I Have a Degree in Liberal Arts; Do You Want Fries With That?
20. A hangover is the wrath of grapes.
21. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.
22. Stupidity is not a handicap. Park elsewhere!
23.They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.
24. He who dies with the most toys is nonetheless DEAD.
25. A picture is worth a thousand words, but it uses up three
thousand times the memory.
26. Ham and eggs...A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.
27. The trouble with life is there's no background music.
28. The original point and click interface was a Smith & Wesson.
29. I smile because I don't know what the hell is going on.

Days of the week
One of the BAD things about being retired is you never get a day off !
I agree. Along with not getting sick leave, holiday time, vacation days. The only day of the week that I know is Sunday and then only because the comics in the newspaper are in color.
Over the hill
Being over the hill is not so bad, starting the climb back up is whats tough.
I have been blessed
This day, 24 years ago, I married my best friend who is now the mother of my three wonderful children...I have been blessed...indeed... I have been blessed.

My nephews are so much fun.
Sometimes I wish I had kids. Hmmm, maybe later.
Better!

After my eventful weekend, I sure needed them.
The neighbor's 9mm went off early Saturday morning as I slept, shot through the wall into my bedroom, grazed my head, punched its way into the living room above the couch where my daughter's head was just a minute earlier, ricochetted against the porch door, and stopped in my living room floor.
I woke up to a firecracker-like sound and the tickle of the blood from my forehead.
The police detectives, ER doctors and nurses told me they had never seen a patient with a gunshot wound to the head walk out with only a scratch.
*whew*
3. Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.
And I'm alive by an inch of bullet trajectory.
5. Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.
And I failed to get out.
6. You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me
And I'm told I'm not done yet.
9. I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are just missing.
About a three-inch-long scalp.
10. Out of my mind. Back in five minutes
I have this office sign given to me by a coworker.
29. I smile because I don't know what the hell is going on.
And I crack jokes about this weekend because I've never known to be so close to death and lived through with only a minor surface injury.

Holy Smokes!
Glad you're ok Spider_Elliott - or are going to be!
My question would have something to do with what the blazes was going on with the neigbors' gun to make it go off? (are they alright as well?)
Makes my week-end seem uneventful!
And now, back to your regularly scheduled forum - already in progress . . .
Whoa...
I'm glad I live a 'boring life', and happy to see you're (still) here!

Back on old age
I thought old age crept up on you....
I can hear it galloping off into the distance...
Toooooooo Much trouble.........
Sparky's experiment with the Wind Turbine Car was somewhat successful. But he found out that having to dismantle and re-assemble it every time he went under an overpass took too long and included too much work, he gave up on the idea. So he just went back to riding his bike.

glad you are ok
Spider Elliott,
I am so glad to hear that you are ok, that must have been incredibly scary.
I am also happy that your daughter was not hurt.

I find

I find that the most accurate info on predicted
paths & intensities of Tropical Storms/Hurricanes
is the National Hurricane Center link below:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml
I have been following Hurricanes on the internet, tracking. chat room participant etc since Hugo hit SC and I think the NHC has improved so much in their forecasting in the past 4-5 years.
They can't make it change course but they will give you good information.
IMHO
Another good site if you're into it is:

Sparky is doing his part in being green!

I guess Sparky is trying to be green and save gas huh?
The problem with Sparky riding his bike is a simple one, if he rides to long out in the sun, the only thing going to be green is Sparky (Meat + Sun = Green).
Sure am glad he doing his part in being green though.

After reading your story, I think CheryMASS 3rd line is more appropriately referencing your neighbor!! Man ... I'd want to kill my neighbor if he shot me!!!
How well do you and your neighbor get along ... maybe it wasn't an accident??

Rainy Wednesday
happy hump day! Some much needed rain finally fell on my neck of the woods this morning... I noticed several neighbors' lawns are starting to brown
Rain?
What's that? Haven't seen or felt any in quite some time.
I'm with You
This day, 24 years ago, I married my best friend who is now the mother of my three wonderful children...I have been blessed...indeed... I have been blessed.
Wonderful, I'm married now for 36 years with 3 kids and now 4 grandkids, who make my day every time I see them, which is often.
I love being retired, greatest thing in the world.

Hey Spider Elliott
The neighbor's 9mm went off early Saturday morning as I slept, shot through the wall into my bedroom, grazed my head, punched its way into the living room above the couch where my daughter's head was just a minute earlier, ricochetted against the porch door, and stopped in my living room floor.
Give us the follow-up details. Why did the neighbor's gun discharge? Accident? Drunk? Intruder? Inquiring minds want to know!
I plan to live forever. So far, so good.
Have had so much rain lately
Have had so much rain lately in VA that the grass grows as fast as gas prices go up.

Gunshot update
I don't know the neighbor too well, and I'm not sure why he had the loaded gun in his hand. But he was sober and was very shaken up. More so than I was.
Investigation is ongoing, and I'll know more when I get a copy of the police report for insurance purposes.
In the meantime, the wound is healing nicely, and I'm not that worse off. And no, I'm not considering any civil suit, as long as all the damages and medical expenses are covered, which he has pledged. My good fortune is everyone else's good fortune, as some might say.
Certainly it could've been an involuntary manslaughter, and he could've faced felony charges as well as heavy civil charges. It didn't, so he isn't.
Of course, if he fails to cover the medical cost....
Thank you for all the well wishing, everyone.

Dolly Dumped a lot of rain here in Houston but not near as much as South Texas. We sure needed it here in Houston though.

Careful what you ask for, and where exactly do you suppose they go?
The Cubs Curse exists because, the Chicago Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908.

Glad you're okay and you are able to have a sense of humor about it.
I hope your neighbor takes a gun safety course.

Go Cubbies!
Maybe Tarkus is thinking of the ten remaining games VS the Brew Crew (7 in Milwaukee)? Or, maybe not thinking about that.

Best wishes to the Cubbies in their hunt for that Wildcard Slot. You got a good chance!
However it goes, Chicago will remain the biggest city on Lake Michigan. So, you've got plenty to be thankful for.
Thanks!

Your neighbor must have one powerful 9mm handgun to go thru so many walls and still ricochet off the porch door.
