I'm not surprised. File "roach clips" in the same category as pay phones and two dollar bills.

^ yeah, I think it was better that it was quick, so there wasn't that much suffering. Unfortunately she made the decision to get chemotherapy in the fantasy that she would live long enough to make it to her favorite niece's wedding that was in about 10 weeks from her diagnosis. It was never going to happen and all the chemo did was destroy the quality of what little life she had left. Needless to say, Mother's Day is not exactly my favorite weekend/holiday. I might require some poker and/or a trip to Desire to take my mind off it...

^ my mother died from pancreatic cancer. It was a 5 week roller coaster headed straight down.

Skibum - Man, if you had my doctor he'd be ready to murder you. An old school Italian guy that has been my PCP for my entire adult life. Walked up one side of me and down the other when my LDL came back at twice what it should be, asking me if I want to have a stroke or a heart attack before I'm 50. I've made progress since. But man, I can only imagine his reaction to a triglycerides number like that. It could trigger a murder-suicide...

You serve me, and I'll serve you Swing your partners, all get screwed Bring your lawyer, and I'll bring mine Get together and we could have a bad time It's affidavit swearing time Sign it on the dotted line Hold your bible in your hand Now all that's left, is to find yourself a new band We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues George Harrison - Sue Me, Sue You Blues I'm a laywer, mostly civil litigation

It's a fantasy. I'd prefer to keep it that way, and not have TMI interfere with that.

Having spent four years there in college, I have to say that Virginia, particularly the western half (Blue Ridge - Shenandoah Valley) is very pretty.

1991 driving through Rhode Island on the way back from a family trip to Virginia right after Hurricane Bob had hit the day before. Nothing but darkness.

Generally I have one drink or one beer and then I switch to water. I'm happy to buy a drink for a dancer that I'm sitting and talking with. If a dancer comments about my not drinking, I tell them that my best friend is a drunk driving attorney, I know how much he charges, and I don't want to be his client.

"I'm going to have a good problem and tough decisions to make when they both are working" It's good to have options.

I joined to read reviews and get information on clubs. Then I began posting reviews because those who take ought to give as well. I've stuck around for the delightful and stimulating conversations...

A cop in a larger department around where I live, like Boston, with details and overtime makes WAY more than $70k a year. Plus bennies and pension as Cashman said. Could be a lot different where you live though.

They actually thought they were going to get 2 million subscribers the first year. They had 10,000 after a month.

^ if it is possible for a movie to get people to quit drugs or not do drugs in the first place, Requiem For A Dream would be it.

Wallanon- that’s why I said it was the closest. For whatever reason I’m much less of an asshole in a strip club than normal. I guess naked women put me in a better mood than normal…

The closest I can ever remember would be a VIP dance a few years ago where the dancer waited until two-thirds of the way through the dance before then bringing up the subject of extras in a manner that made it clear was designed to try to get me to extend the VIP an extra 15 minutes. I immediately mentally checked out of the dance and responded by going completely limp with my hands on the bench, completely non-interactive. She got the hint and at the end had the nerve to tell me that I was an asshole. Always fun when someone projects themselves. Oh well, c'est la vie. Needless the say, that's the last dance she ever got from me.

^ sounds like the Nicolette M.O. My understanding is that she thinks she owns any customer that she's danced for. Of course, I don't have any personal experience myself since apparently she won't dance for anyone that she's seen get dances from another dancer. Interesting way of doing business I suppose.

Ski - or take an old George Carlin suggestion and hook their nuts up to a car battery. That might be a deterrent...

This is happening a lot around where I live. A car repair shop client of mine has been doing a lot of installations of plates and/or cables that are supposed to prevent catalytic converter theft.

Just saw an article that had a picture of Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget, and Louis Anderson together. All gone now.

Haven’t been there in about a million years. Doesn’t sound like I have any reason to go back. Thanks for the recon.

^ Federal Hill is legit as far as Italian food goes. An example of hype not being overhype. It really is that good.

Glitter is pretty high up on my list of things I absolutely cannot stand, so I would have been extremely pissed off.

Shailynn - Freschetta is pretty good for frozen. But the best frozen pizza I've ever had is Lou Malnati's ordered from Taste of Chicago. It's pricey per pie, but it is so much better than a frozen pizza has any right being.
