re: How many people have gotten 15 years out of a car/truck?
Posted by Sidicous on 5/8/24 at 1:27 pm
I have a 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse with under 100K miles, never needed a tuneup. Still fires up on the 1st key turn. Fun little car....
re: Covid Vaccine Being Prescribed for TDS
Posted by Sidicous on 5/8/24 at 1:07 pm
If only the clot shots were guaranteed fatal I would set up a card table and chairs to help dispense it to any liberal or DimProgFilth or illegal alien that showed interest. Only question would be: “right or left arm?”...
re: Why are there so many inoperable street lights along Louisiana's highways?
Posted by Sidicous on 5/8/24 at 7:07 am
Because the people of the state are equally inoperable.

Morning everyone.
Got an early appointment with post op to be sure incisions from 2 weeks ago are properly healing.
Then tomorrow is afternoon dentist. Might always have a problem with the cleaning knocking crap down into my guts triggering GI stuff.
Since I got home from another ER visit o...

Do you know your mother? Seriously.
What does your mother do in her spare time?
Get her something that compliments her favored activities. That’s the kind of gift that isn’t required to be big and fancy and expensive but yet she will become attached to....
re: Ever resign from a job with nothing lined up?
Posted by Sidicous on 5/6/24 at 6:38 pm
I have resigned from several jobs over the years, most of the times I had nothing lined up. Never had a problem finding another, usually before I completed taking a couple of weeks off even.
I moved from Tulsa to the middle of nowhere NWLA w/out having anything but lodging assured and knowing ver...

Posted by Sidicous on 5/6/24 at 12:53 pm
Not the 1st time a pig has been running wild on Government Street. Matter of fact, the next time the legislature is in session there’s probably going to be several more daily. It’s an election session....
re: Anyone purchased a used iPhone online?
Posted by Sidicous on 5/6/24 at 5:33 am
I have bought 2 online from different sites. Both performed and looked as described by the sellers.
As far as battery goes I would just plan on a ~$50 battery swap at a local shop. Think it was $60 w/tax from CPR, a regional/national chain.
Do your research, ask?, take your time rather than ru...
Morning everyone.
Week starting slowly for me then doesn’t end till next Tuesday.
Pharmacy NOW has my post op pain meds ready…10 days after the surgery. Glad I listened to my own advice and had some stockpiled almost as strong.
Gonna be a Louisiana Grey Day but nice temperatures....
re: Underrated fruit or vegetable

[quote]I’m going to say that radishes are underrated. Great addition to most salads, can be used as a garnish for seafood dishes, and go great with hummus.[/quote]
Every part of the radish is useful to. Has a short maturity and a temperature tolerance so it is 1 of the early garden veggies.

re: The Masked, they still exist
Posted by Sidicous on 5/5/24 at 1:55 pm
The KN95 masks have made a huge reappearance in medical facilities lately. My last week long stay had everyone from surgeons to the floor custodian in a ‘95 at all times.
Yet this admit they didn’t swab my brain.

re: I guess DFW didnt get the memo about climate change

[quote] Id read this as an argument for climate change. Wild variations from the norm and extra precip (warmer planet, more water vapor in air). But yeah, its been a wet spring.[/quote]

Morning everyone.
Got the home weather station all set up and a literal dozen small houseplants repotted. Took about 15 pounds of miracle gro soil so now I gotta figure out where to store 1 #20 bag and the remaining #5 of the 2:1 deal I used. BTW, recovery from hernia surgery 1 week ago restricts...
re: Is a car purchased from a used car lot lower when paid for by cash rather than financed?
Posted by Sidicous on 5/4/24 at 9:07 pm
[quote]So a reasonable cash payment above what they have in the car would likely be accepted? For instance on a car listed at $12,000 for which they have $6,000 invested would likely sell in the $8,000 range for cash?[/quote]

I have them move, have heard of other allium varieties working too but not directly observed it.
Once they move out of the garden nuke them with chemicals.

Posted by Sidicous on 5/4/24 at 5:27 pm
We used to require the cost of the vehicle as down payment and then finance the profit.
Either way the dealer made bank like that. Miss a payment = yank the vehicle to sell again or they get the profit of the payments on time.
Wait till EOM around 3pm and tell them your cash offer. They don’t...
