Is it senior housing or a nursing home with nursing care? How's she taking it?

I got to do something this weekend that is going to make all of you jealous.

I got to ride on a hand car down the railroad tracks. Spent the weekend working with the Whitewater Valley Railroad association in Connersville, Indiana. Rode a passenger train for 4 hours, got to help the group work on restoring a steam engine, and did various train related things.

I'm not that big into trains but ever since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to ride a hand car down the tracks. I got to do it twice for about 1 mile a pop.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

I don't know really - maybe 20mph tops but the thing is they are so old school heavy with iron bars - that it takes a great deal of effort to get them going but once you are going its pretty easy to keep them moving but they aren't geared so you get going fast and those those heavy iron bars are going up and down and you ain't stopping them - they'll knock your ass off so you get to the point where you don't feel safe on them.

I was on there with another adult and 3 kids so I had to worry about knocking some little kid off and him rolling down the tracks.

Also, as a side note - train bathrooms really are just a hole going straight to the tracks.

Your whole account put me in mind of the quicksand scene in Blazing Saddles...

Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

They claimed a few funnel clouds in the area. It definitely whipped up in Wilson on Friday night. Alot of damage in Washington (referred to around here as little Washington), which on the Pamlico River. We've got an elevator down there as well, no damage to that, but the guy who runs it for us said his house had at least $15K damage and he felt lucky. I think it was just heavy winds, but still...

I was begging my boss to let us go back to New Orleans and he was like "fuck no - I had to meet with the police every night we were there except Sunday over our employees getting into trouble"

looks like San Antonio next year :(

welp, it's been a good run but it looks like the end is nigh for me. I pulled a tick off my nuts this morning. i guess he'd been on there since I went to a Cub Scout camporee Saturday. I couldn't see way down there and panicked when the heated tweezer tip grazed my sack and yanked it out, so the head is still embedded in the membrane. this could get ugly.
