    I don't know what I hate more, actual rubbernecker; or the people around here who call them "gapers" (pronounced gay-perz; emphasis on the first syllable.) They are rubberneckers or lookie-Lous, not 'gapers'.

    Every time I hear that word, I think of a...direct to DVD film I saw once in college, where a character was a "wrestler" that was called "The Boston Gaper"...her signature finishing move was EPIC.

    I feel you. Re-doing my bathroom and I just found out that if I really give one of the vinyl planks a real whack, it will buckle the seams on ones 3-4 over. Just had to tear up about 3.5 rows, and I was down to just 3 more to go.

    I thought I was going to be able to have it all done and the new toilet installed before wife gets home for dinner.

    Here I sit without any beer or whiskey, too.

    - 9.9 mil job openings
    + 8.7 mil seeking employment
    - 1.2 mil unfilled jobs

    - 1.2 mil job openings
    + 1.8 mil illegals (70% military-aged males; so 1.2 million labor-ready workers)

    = net zero unemployment. What a raging success this *dministration is!

    How many people are able to work but are not seeking work because they can make ends meet because the Gov't is picking up the tab for them? Isn't is a grand social experiment?

    The Colorado Rockies and the media what a bunch of dummies. They reported that they were investigating to find out what fan it was that repeatedly shouted the N word during a game. Watch the clip the fan in question is pointing at the Rockies mascot not at the field when he is yelling Dinger the name of the Rockies mascot. SOFA KINGDOM.

    The news stories about how they can not get firefighters to deal with the western fires, what a crock of crap. The forest service quit certifying our red qualifications nationally 5 years ago. By certifying our red cards we were available to back fill on big fires, often mopping up freeing local resources to respond to new fires. We were temporary contract fire fighters available to help out, couple wet years they decided to defund, how well does defunding work on emergency response?

    I so agree, **** you cancer! Lost my uncle, which is nowhere near the loss of a mother, but cancer is cruel just the same.

    Cancer can go to the pit of Hell and burn for an eternity.
