I've never used a hair dryer in my life. I still don't understand why everybody else uses them when air drying works just fine.

I used one in the 80's to get that hair band height but now I towel dry and put hair product in damp

Me too.

Ditto with the sink I installed in the garage for when I work on cars (a lot).

One other: oops, never mind, the statute hasn't run on that one yet.

I love reality tv. American Pickers(watching now), Pawn stars, Airplane repo, Chasing Cars, Deadliest Catch, Parking Wars, Hardcore Pawn are my favorites. By the way I never use a hairdryer and also do that business in the shower.

I pee sitting down mostly......I just find it very comfortable.

I like Honey boo-boo and I'm the BIGGEST horse racing fan on these boards :)

as far as pee-ing goes, without neighbors now, the yard is really getting hosed down regularly. The shower also does not always escape the treatment.

I hate reality TV but nonetheless like poorly produced stuff like "monsters inside me", "disappeared", and especially "unusual suspects" ... although in all cases the episode might instantly get ditched [all these programs constantly repeat the "story so far", sp I never watch unless I have recorded these things]
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!”   She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

Near as I can determine, the chance to 'share' things online with others without having to address questions immediately thereafter as would be true in a normal conversation seems to be stimulating to me, somehow.

Favorite race of all time...?



You mean my favorite race that I have seen, or my favorite "type" of race, i.e The Kentucky Derby, Breeders Cup and so on?

Anyway, I'll answer both:

1) I'm from South Africa so a lot of my favorite races took place there one in particular that we owned a filly who ran over 5 furlongs, lost 5 lengths at the jump and won by 4. Very special. On the international front I would have to say watching Secretariat destroy his field by 31 lengths in the 1973 Belmont to secure the Triple Crown. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch the race.

2) My favorite race by far is the Kentucky Derby. I backed Animal Kingdom to win a bomb, caught the exactas and the trifecta. By far my biggest lifetime win in any form of gambling.

How about you Ace, you have a favorite?

I was so addicted to Big Brother (the first season in the US) that I contributed $40 to help fly a banner. I would get home from work around midnight and just watch the (free) internet feeds until I fell asleep. I paid watch the live feeds the following 3 years. I would just watch the TV shows for the next few years after that. Finally did not watch a single episode this year!

Well, I have two:

1) Personal Ensign going from last to first in the rain to beat Winning Colors by a nose in the 1988 Breeder's Cup Distaff - still gives me goosebumps;
2) Secretariat's Belmont as it was simply the most impressive sporting feat I have ever seen (and it occurred on my 1st bday).

I have a boatload of myVegas red ( > 5 mil but less than 10 mil ) chips and plenty of gold chips. I have always liked Vegas because you can get a good deal on hotel rooms and have a nice vacation. myVegas is going to allow me to see some premium shows for free (again). At least I hope the show rewards are still available next spring.

I see you haven't waded through the 60-page thread. Red chips are what you play with, and gold chips are "loyalty points" which you redeem for real Vegas stuff. In Sept. my g/f and I redeemed 1 night at MGM, 2 nights at Mirage, 2 tickets to Ka, and 1 ticket to Jabbawockez for about 350,000 loyalty points. Since Nov. 2012, my g/f and I have earned about 1,000,000 loyalty points total, with about 700,000 redeemed over two trips. It's a timesuck, but I earn better comps at this game than at the actual casino because I am a big lowroller. :-\

Ok let's see, I guess why not go the sensational route.

I was part of a group of people indirectly responsible in getting a poor 90+ year old woman indicted.

I am also on a FBI watchlist because of it.

I could either tell or people can lay down some odds and make a guessing game out of it.

Women's college basketball is freakin' amazingly good. The intensity is unreal. Don't watch it for it's comparison to the men's game, watch it for what it is and you'll be blown away. Mrs and I are ND fans, but other than that we will watch whatever game is on.

I enjoyed it; my sister was incredible (first team All-State). Women's BB was just coming online when I was at Creighton; Title IX had just passed a couple years earlier and there was a phase-in period while we were in school. (Note Creighton has one of the best BB'ers in the country right now, though a man. The women's team has contended through recent years.) Women play more like Duke under Coach K or UNC under Dean Smith; it's all about the team coordination and strategy, great passing and placement, not dunking, fast breaks, and powerdriving. Great to watch, as Mosca said, if you're a game purist.

When I was 16 my first job ever was at McDonalds. It was, at the time, the busiest McDondalds in the State. I went through a couple of days of training and then my first shift was Saturday lunchtime. Now remember, I'm 16. I've got fillet's of Fish cooking behind be, fries to my right, lots of burgers cooking at one time in front of me and a special order burger, no onions, just about done. The Manager is yelling from the front, "Special Order ready yet?. I yell back "Coming up". I scoop it off the cooling surface and place it on the waiting bun. Put the special order items on it and out of nowhere it falls and hits the ground. NOOOOOOO! All the other burgers on that are cooking have onions on them when they are cooking. So, I look around to see if anyone is looking, bend down and scoop the burger up with my spatula and wrap it up. "Special Order Up!"

I worked in a cookie factory for 3 years on 3rd shift. We never
thought of the stuff we worked with as food, it was just 'product'.
Eating it never occurred to us. I'm sure that attitude exists in the
entire food industry.

♪♪Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand♪♪ Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of casinos and money You must put them on the table♪♪ You go back Jack do it again roulette wheels turinin' 'round and 'round♪♪ You go back Jack do it again♪♪

Women's college basketball is freakin' amazingly good. The intensity is unreal. Don't watch it for it's comparison to the men's game, watch it for what it is and you'll be blown away. Mrs and I are ND fans, but other than that we will watch whatever game is on.



ND = Notre Dame?
Your ND ladies visit my Maryland Terrapins Jan 27 and its gonna be on national TV, ESPN 2.
Bet? I only offer because Skylar Diggens graduated. Last time we played your team, Skylar totally torched us.
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.
