    It today’s moment of common sense no longer exists; in going through the screening checkpoint at the farce of a daycamp, the nurse running it tried to two make kids in front of me social distance and stand six feet apart. The two kids who are brother and sister and just climbed out of the back seat of dad’s truck. Because social distancing family members who live under the same roof is going make all of this go away.

    C’mon lady, you are nurse and from your appearance I am guessing you have a few decades of “professional” experience. You should have a better grasp on how infections spread and the pointless of social distancing siblings.

    Constant Michael Jordan and all these basketball talks. Happening for a month non stop. I know you have nothing else to talk about bc sports are not happening, but please stop all these stupid discussions of who was best.

    I would like to give everyone a little advice.... If you ever find yourself in a situation where you feel that it is appropriate to use Roman numerals instead of regular numbers, I will save you some trouble and go ahead and let you know that you are wrong.... It is never an appropriate situation to use Roman numerals.

    If you there is any chance whatsoever that in the future somebody will need to know what the number is then, use a regular number. And if you don't think anybody will ever need to know what that number is, then why the hell are you including it in the first place.

    Seriously, I don't think there is a person alive who can decipher MCMLXXXVIII in under 10 minutes without looking it up on google or breaking out a pencil and paper.

    Sterilant, you may need an applicator license but if you know somebody with one it's the way to go. Never have to weed eat again after the third application in as many months. I've done all my fence lines on one farm with it, bought it off some BNSF guys that were on a lunch break while doing the application on the railroad tracks near the farm, works like a charm.

    When my grandfather died before we put him in the ground we had people coming to the farm to ask if we were selling.

    As I recall one family sent their kid to ask, she was like 11

    You want to sell the place. They are potential buyers. Let them look. Be nice.
    Would you want to buy from someone being a butthead about you looking at a property you were interested in?
    Just my $.02.

    Gretzky and Jordan are the only genuine GOATs in sports. Everyone else is a conversation of best in their generation.

    When it comes to Super Bowls roman numerals is acceptable to use.

    Those are vultures!

    Only thing worse are the ones who don't wait for the person to die before they get all stupid.
