Poor Teresa. In case anyone’s wondering, the Monkey Bar cross
bars in a military obstacle course are larger than you’d expect,
and they aren’t fixed. They’ll rotate in your hands, and people
like Teresa with small hands have a tough time.
BTDT. I remember when we were on FTX in Germany near the
East German border (at the height of the Cold War),
and I had to crawl through a pasture scattered with
fresh cow patties. Fragrance defined.
Such memories. Such fun.
I wish I could do it one more time.
We did it in winter.
Never even noticed what frozen yuck we were crawling through.
Until we got into a warm building and everything thawed out.
It was quite the… aromatic… experience.
Aw guys! you took my line! heh 😛
The kind of monkey bars that make you use your forearms,
hands, and fingers more, sorry Teresa, but I think you
need to work on your upper body a bit…

As thick as that mud looks, it was more like a “glorp-slup”
than splish-splash heh. Teresa is gonna have that muck
in every crack and crevice for days… Like forgetting a
towel at the beach to lay on. Hot-tub soak for a week
coming UP!
Oh how I wish we had that sweet of a deal in real life!
That should give all the store’s the boost they need,
and the area should have a huge burst of growth in a
matter of weeks rather than years.
Poor Teresa, a shower will just not clean THAT off!
Someone is either going to be grumpy, or laugh it off,
Knowing her, I’d say a bit of both!I can’t wait to see
both Mishel and Kathy’s faces if/when they
hear about it!
Heh, true, maybe Mala? Better yet, if Teresa was wearing
a head-cam, A POV! I could see her sitting down at her
computer and it’s playing on a loop for her to enjoy… Naa,
That would be mean, but funny!
I can see her now, popped up sputtering and shaking it off
her hands and then wiping her face, her hair all plastered
down, while everyone is trying not to fall down, trying to
breathe…
Per the package “Low Gluten”, not “No Gluten”, so probably not.
And at that price, even the certified gluten free bread mix from
Bob’s Red Mill is only a little more expensive.
According to an article I found on celiac.com, triticum monococcum
(einkorn) “may be a safe wheat alternative for those with celiac
disease)”. “In the most recent study the researchers conclude that
data show a lack of toxicity of triticum monococcum gliadin in an
in vitro organ culture system, suggesting new dietary opportunities
for celiac patients. If this is the case it appears that this grain
is non-toxic to those with celiac disease.” I know there’s a crap
ton of mis/disinformation out on the web, but you gotta figure that
folks running a website called “celiac.com” would not knowingly
publish something harmful to people suffering from the disease.
knowing harmful.. : sorry i know TO many,. that did just that.!
IE: Ford, knowingly sold a car with defects (fatal), it was
cheaper to pay insurance, than to recall an redesign.!
I had a ’71 pinto in ’79, all they did to “fix” it was
add a thermal blanket over the tank,
did nothing about the doors jamming etc…
I had an “OH SHIT” moment when I heard a semi’s brakes
skipping and seen a semi baring down on me in my mirror
at a light, needless to say I blew the light!
In Denmark we have this ‘explanation’ of the 4 letters of
“Ford”: Fejl og reparationer dagligt – Faults and repairs daily.
Or in reverse: Driver returns on feet.
Italian Fiat doesn’t escape either (in german):
Fehler in alle teile – Faults in all parts
Wonder what ‘they’ did to earn such ‘nice’ reactions
from the users… 😉
When I was growing up it was “Fix Or Repair Daily”. Of course
it was sometimes said of Chevrolet, “There goes one of them
there rubber bands!” Actually we owned several Fords through
the years and none of them were specially maintenance hogs.
first on race day,. fucked over rebuilt dodge,. fireball on rear dent,.
flip over read directions,. first on recall day,. fault of R & D,.

“ford, all the problems are circled.”
I think the worst car I had ever seen was called the DKW,
but the emblem was the same as an Audi, it was a sedan,
with a front wheel drive, auto clutch (no pedal), 4 speed trans,
but only had a dinky 3 cylinder engine! That’s not all, it
was a 2 cycle engine without the oil injection system. You
had to add the oil to the gas tank, My father got screwed
over buying it, the motor was seized up, it had a “flat head”
since it used the 2 cycle engine it had no valves, so they
made it out cast aluminum! To top it off, they used drain
cleaner to flush the cooling system, you can guess what
it did to the head! Pity though, it was a ’54 and had a nice
body style. Just a really crappy motor.
I followed your link. Not a bad looking machine for its time. Whoever
decided to put the radiator BEHIND the engine had his head well out
of the sunshine!
DKW was one of the four original companies that merged to form Audi. The initials stood for “Dampf-Kraft-Wagen” – steam powered car!
But they couldn’t make that work. Instead, they built a tiny 2-cycle engine, and reinterpreted the initials
to mean “German Boy’s Wish” (or Toy Engine).
It was a joke, and the engine compartment was too small to
force-feed a different one into it. The guy my father bought it
from was a “friend,” he didn’t speak to him after that. Did
you see the engine size? From what I gather, it was a strictly
a German car, who knows why someone would spend the
money to have it shipped over. My father had tried to track
down parts for it, no one carried them much less knew what
the car was! Not even the Audi dealership. I was a boy but
I did learn a few new words tagging along with him HA!
Battleship Yamato, the Japanese live action movie.
I’ve seen clips of the final battle scene,
and thought it was a pretty cheesy film.
Then I found the whole thing on youtube, and damn…
It is one powerful film that works on so many levels.
I recommend it as a weekend watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WCN0k2riew
This time, I don’t mind the subtitles.
They forced me to pay close attention,
and the watching experience was the better for that.
I’ve seen clips of it, they seemed to have stuck to the anime
of it, but the anime was a bit more exciting to me. I thought
the entire bit about having a pistol grip and sights on the
control panel for the main gun was just dumb.
Are we talking about the same thing? I linked to the live-action
historical recreation of the WWII battleship and it’s last mission,
Operation Ten-Go.
Not the live action version of the anime, Space Battleship Yamato.
This movie is about the 1945 Japanese wet Navy Yamato.
Nah, they started already. It’s 8:19pm, wet coast time. Lancer is in #1,
Vision Haze in #2, Vixen Logic in #3. All with over 1000 votes. Lancer
hasn’t updated the comic in over three months.
TGW is still holding at 6th place but the top 3 are all north of
1K. Reckon how long it’ll be before KK, GP and the other usual
suspects join in the games? Hang in there, PC, we’ll find TGW
and vote no matter where it ends up.
DAMNED COYOTES! We had a calf drop 2 days ago, I heard them
yipping across the street in the park a few hours ago and now
the new born is missing! SOBs got ballsy again…
We used to see coyotes near us before the mile
distance between us and the main road built up.
Never had a problem with stray cats back then.
Stray cat = coyote snack.
Now we see one or more every time we leave the house.
Progress!
It was bad enough they were stealing chickens and turkeys,
but I hadn’t even sexed the calf! That’s at least a $450 loss.
I did find out about where the calf is, and found their nest,
but it’s on someone else’s property, I can’t just fire-bomb
the nest without permission, much less confirm where the
body is. It’s in the back side of some rich guy’s land, I don’t
need the headache.
President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal B Woodman Domestic Violent Extremist SuperStraight
I can’t I’m too shaky, but my son can, and we’re making plans along
those lines. He works nights, so it’s tricky. On a lighter note,
he texted me this morning saying he spotted the missing calf, so
it was just hiding from the coyotes. I have a way to get rid of
them but it’s cruel, bacon grease and burlap, they don’t chew,
just tear off hunks and swallow, so it binds them up and they
can’t eat. That and snare traps.
Well, it’s official. TGW has dropped to 11th place. {sigh}
What used to be decent numbers doesn’t even qualify as an also-ran.
At least the 2nd place is a recent update.
1st place hasn’t updated in almost 4 months.
Nothing hinkey going on there.
Wonder when GP will jump on the bandwagon.

Poor Teresa is right. Got to paraphrase Bobby Darin,
“Splish, splash gotta take a bath” Mind worm anyone?
it was,,
“Splish, Splash, I was takin’ a bath.”
Mud bath.

Flying a desk is not the same as the flying trapeze.
I was wondering if Teresa really couldn’t hold on
to the bars, or if she let go on purpose, just to
get dirty like the rest of the recruits.
I doubt it was deliberate.
Teresa is too particular about her appearance.
But anyhow! she’ll come up sputtering and laughing.
As thick as that mud looks, it was more like a “glorp-slup”
than splish-splash heh. Teresa is gonna have that muck
in every crack and crevice for days… Like forgetting a

You sweat profusely on the obstacle course,
so you’d need a shower and change of
uniform even if you avoided the mud.
Oh how I wish we had that sweet of a deal in real life!
That should give all the store’s the boost they need,

Speaking of Mishel . . . is he still in her life?
Most certainly.
Good.
We were talking about home-we were talking about home-made

My question is, (that is, if the research has been done),
is einkorn safe for people with celiac?
Per the package “Low Gluten”, not “No Gluten”, so probably not.
And at that price, even the certified gluten free bread mix from

Got kicked out around 0900,
now at 0945 we’re at #4.
But at least the numbers look REAL.
Reckon when the games will begin?
usually ,, about a week.
and about the 15th, for

1700 CDT at #6. Usual suspects in typical positions. Guess we’ll see.
