Simply random stuff

What I think is, politicians and/or anyone else shouldn't be able to tell me what I can/can't take for chronic pain. Legally.
I was doing quite well on the (then) legal meds I was taking until the pols over reacted and started a whole new industry in "pain management". What f'n joke.
Have a glass of wine with dinner? Uh-uh. Alcohol stays in your system for 10 days. Pot? Nope got to pay some hack a bunch of bucks to get a "pot card". Don't have one? Then when you get drug tested at the "pain management" clinics then you're out.
I told them to f off, and thanks but no thanks.
Told the VA the same thing years ago. They can all kiss my old ass.

Far too many politicians think they are doctors or engineers, when they are usually disbarred lawyers.

Coffee is the (a) miracle drug. And legal. Think of that.

It’s one my first influences of the day, including today, when the big news is the CFB championship game.

It's a "doggie" blanket on the bed for my two little ones. I think they are bears?

Hey Boonie, the weather forecast is 3" to 5" of snow for the Florida panhandle. I hope you are not affected. That area does not know how to handle snow.

Yikes, it looks like you might get icing, which is even worse than snow.

I’m guessing that it’s still better than a hurricane.

new military UAP whistleblower coming out tonight
*what's with the hair Luis?



“Hunting UFOs: The Crash Retrieval Whistleblower” on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 8 p.m. ET.

OK, so I watched this yesterday and it has some really weird crap in it IMO. Not sure what to think, usually I buy into some of this UAP stuff after my own encounter, but this is just waaaay out there!

I'm in the red-pink-fuchsia area. lol. As the crow flies I'm roughly halfway between Tallahassee and Gainesville.
Ice I'm guessing.
You would know since I have to travel 35 miles Wednesday morning to meet with the surgeon. If we make it and he doesn't I'll be in a less than charitable mood.

Snow is falling from southeast Texas through Louisiana and into parts of Mississippi and Alabama Tuesday and creating treacherous conditions. An area stretching from Houston into southern Louisiana has already recorded widespread 3 to 6 inches of snow, with at least one locale hitting the double-digit mark, and more is on the way. A record amount of snow is forecast for New Orleans and other cities along the Gulf Coast.

Gulf snowstorm has stopped in my area. Beautifully white, and yet there is a puddle of water at the bottom of my driveway. Expect it to ice over tonight, so I'm staying put.

I hope you all make out OK with this stormy weather. We made it from Newark to Denver this morning with minor delays. Th weather in Denver was about 30 degrees warmer than when we got up this morning in northern NJ. Going skiing tomorrow.

 

[mandrix]

It's been snowing in the Florida panhandle. Will it make it to me? We'll see.
They put off my surgeon appt. until 1400 Hrs, thankfully. Maybe the roads will be better by then, as I have to travel about 35 miles.
Not the roads that scare me, it's Florida drivers. They already drive like maniacs around here. There's a retirement village about 4 miles from me. Nothing like driving the speed limit and some little old lady that has to look through the steering wheel passing you like you're sitting still. lol.
Dadgum old people! Wait....

I'm thinking there's lots of enjoyment inside if you live Center of Soundfield!

Everything is above ground here but phone lines...which I don't use since fiber. But we have a small electric co-op that buys electricity from a power facility a bit north of Jacksonville. Anything that happens between here and there or line problems here and you better have a generator.

 

[Sonik Wiz]

Best of luck Boonie!

 

[Mr. Afternoon]

It's snowing outside! Yippee!!!!!!
(I haven't seen snow actually pile up round here in years...my condolences to those who get to much.)

Not the roads that scare me, it's Florida drivers. They already drive like maniacs around here.

I think that ain't exclusive to Florida, chief. The other day I got overtaken by a bunch of cars going 60...in a 35 MPH zone...
