Reasons to be cheerful!

[OldGit]

You can't have too many sockets, especially deep ones.  What do you use in the US, metric or Imperial?  I still have a lot of the ancient BSF/BA and Whitworth sockets, then in the 70s I had to re-equip with Unified.  Now it's all metric.

There's no reason to be cheerful, I just am at the moment.

We've been transitioning from imperial to metric for years. There are still holdouts, though I assume they have never tried drilling and tapping a hole for !/4 - 20 threads with a fractional drill index... they moan about a decimalized system without realizing you have to decimalize measurements to actually USE a fractional system. Metric makes those sorts of tasks so much simpler in terms of the tooling you need.

There is at least one perk with a President Donald Trump .The comedy will get better. Maybe Lewis Black will have something to be really angry about again. Yea!

Lewis Black is always angry. He makes the feigned anger hilarious.

How about the lovely lads from Liverpool beating those poor sods from Manchester United 2-0 yesterday?

That should have cheered everyone up here!!


I know I'm very, very cheery now...in case you missed it below is the highlight reel (I would mute it because the music sucks)

Enjoy, especially at the 2:28 mark!

You still have another leg to go.

Well, I have a toothache since four days ago. Peanut butter helps a lot. Cheaper than oral gel. I had three jars, they're all gone. So, I drove 14 miles to the nearest grocery store (I live in the boonies) and since I don't go to town often, I decided to get other things (juice, milk, other food and folding chairs) and I get back home and guess what I forgot to get? Yep! Peanut butter. The one main thing I went all the way to town to get, I forgot to get. Sucks for me.

What's cheerful about that?

Well, I take care, full-time, my mother who has an auto-immune disease that gives her low blood pressure, and makes her faint a lot. She needs 24 hour care, and the only "job" I have is picking up pecans from her 5 acres (plus my aunt's 5 acres, and my uncle's other 5 acres, 15 in total) and selling them; about 30 pecan trees in total.

Well, my mother's in debt with hospital and credit cards (about $5,000) and today she tried to get a $1700 loan with 36% interest rate and I was against it. It may help her pay some of her debt but then have that huge debt in its place, and she was not listening to me. She rarely does even though I am only looking out for her best interests.

So, I tried calling my brother but I forgot he and my sister went to England on vacation and then I talked to my mom's sister-in-law (we used to hate each other, weird that we get along now) and she was going to get her husband (my uncle; my mom's brother) to be the "bad guy" and talk my mom out of it. But I didn't want him to be the bad guy, so I tried one more time. And I was able to finally convince her it was a horrible idea.

So, though I have to suffer in toothy pain, at least I talked my mom out of a horrible decision she was going to make.

Oh here is an oldie for you Bruno.



From Real Madrid to Newcastle.

Nam, a loan at 36% interest sounds like either Usury or a gangster loan shark operation. I'm glad that you were able to reason with her.

If you are picking up pecans you must be somewhere in Georgia or South Carolina. I am in Florida. My back yard has two pecan trees that annually produce thousands of nuts. Not a damned one of them are edible. The squirrels don't even like them but they do tear a lot of them off the trees. My lawn mower picks up the drops and converts them to projectiles. I'd have those trees cut down but they do provide a pleasant shady area in summer.

I say best of luck Rafa.
Except of course v LFC.


He's a good man

That's what I was thinking. She did something I couldn't stop because I walked in her room as she was doing it, she gave the person her SS#.

The place is legitimate, though, so at least that's good.
