    Ellsworth murdered :(
  2. I just liked the "dust" one, something I would post.
  3. What times is dust where you live?
  4. Have you considered the family leave act, or what ever they call it? I think it is up to 12 weeks off, which can be consecutive or part days at a time and your employer has to give you this time off. Being middle management, a man that works directly under me misses a lot of work because his wife is dying off a rare cancer. Going to HR we found out there is a form which can be filled out once a note from a Dr is presented. Any medical condition that may cause large amounts of time off each year qualifies. It is unpaid leave, but your job is secured.
  5. His wife told him it was the car that gave him crabs?
  6. Aww, to be young and indestructible and infallible again! To return to that youthful lust of being better than those that have walked the path before you. While I do not doubt that this group of young people are very capable and talented, I will deny that their generation is greater than ours which many of us have already wasted decades trying to raise the TWI phoenix from the ashes of its self destruction. Each generation should become wiser learning from its elders, not full of ego thinking they can do the impossible.

    OOPS

    I WAS attempting some ice breaking levity; after the you a troll episode. We successfully grouted the first drain without a single drop getting through. Unfortunately we didn’t use duct tape, but we did use a water proofing product that appeared to work great to seal the 6 inch holes with the 3 inch pipes running through. Now we were using a rapid set grout, 45 minutes to 5000# and you can feel the heat roll off of it. After pouring drain #2, ran down and checked. Bosses brand new truck to see a small pile of grout on that grate between windshield and hood. Ran got a hose and we tried to power wash the little holes clean. Now that the grout was gone and the windshield covered with water the wipers were activated. Up they went, but froze solid when they attempted the return stroke. The new roof and uncooked taters oops appropriate. The arm leaves me speechless. That might be why I left the exploding electric meter that followed the same week out.

    What’s the worst grey matter flatulence you’ve had, or in some of our cases the worst one recently? Cosidered middle management at work, because of being salaried they have to find places to keep me busy while waiting for legalities to be completed before moving to next assignment. So I was stuck working on some million plus dollar luxury condos my company built about 6 years ago which had developed leaks in the courtyard area that is between the 2 buildings and sits directly over their parking garage. Now parking is quite a problem in this downtown area that is located close to a county courthouse, numerous bail bondsmen and lawyers, lots of lawyers. To make a long story short, while grouting drains and knowing the bosses brand new company truck was parked under a drain; we poured the grout any way. Result: grouted windshield wipers!
  9. This is in no way to reflect negatively on Pawtucket. More on the ones that ran to him with the accusations lacking ANY proof. What a welcome.
  10. And in your ever noble battle to expose the troll, innocent newbies get falsely accused and no proper apologies follow. What a nice group of people, to run about the board behind the scenes seeing trolls every where. Damned if I will return to chat.
