    I don't want to make an assumption, but apparently that is a signal that she is into other shes.

    I got that information from a friend and co-worker who is also of that persuasion. We were grabbing a beer and our server had that bull nose ring. I commented to my friend 'what's up with all these chicks with bull rings these days? Is it the belly button ring of 2001?'

    My friend says, 'no it just means I got a better shot at taking her home tonight than you ever will.'

    Well...enough said.

    Miami International...worst...airport...ever... Every time I fly to the Caribbean or S. America it always connects through there, and my connecting flight is always on the complete opposite side of the airport and guess what, no tram or fast way to get there. And the goddamn place is always under construction so you have to sprint full speed to get wherever while dodging and weaving through construction activity and keeping an eye out for the temporary signage of where you are going.

    Not to mention that lately there's a mini riot/brawl at that airport almost every day.

    That is funny, I never heard that before.

    However, she lost her husband in June - and I think now is just lost. She has a new "guy friend" who has the same appearance, long beard, only top hair that is long and piercings. Mid life crisis maybe?

    Only been in Miami once on an inbound. Worst flight ever! Think I told this one before. Coming back from Honduras and about the time dinner service (yes, it was that long ago) started, we hit some mild turbulence. Not even halfway through and the dinner carts hit the ceiling. End of dinner service and it was an E ride for about 30 minutes.

    upload_2021-10-8_10-38-33.png


    jeezus tap dancing... as if there wasn't enough food stamp fraud in person; now you can use SNAP to buy food online? What in the hell is the point of not being a crook anymore? It's just too damn easy with -0- repercussions.

    Yup. Can buy any "food" that is not hot prepared. So, no deli food but you can buy soda and candy. Poor peoples have rights!

    edit to add:

    you don't even have to be poor to get Snap card. The person who just won 700 million would be eligible for snap benefits if their "income" met the limit.

    Lotto winnings are not considered income.

    Believe it or not.

    I knew all that but didn't know you could use EBT outside of a point of sale. There is literally no way to track this, the fraud has got to be in the billions.

    Almost $80 billion in total SNAP benefits last year...good lord.

    Online (Amazon) is a pos transaction... Ebt cards are debit cards (with special restrictions).

    My well pump controller went out last Sunday. I rigged a temporary switch until Monday morning when I found a new one after a few hours of searching on line. A well installer had one with him at a job site that I drove 45 miles to pick it up.

    $555 later I was back in business. Ouch!

    What kind of pump? Submersible? Just the control box? What HP I could have saved you $400 and you would have had it next day.

    Yes, submersible. Just the control box. Pump works great. Control box is a Grundfos CU 301.
