Quote: GWAEIt had nothing to do with the call. It was the search engine. Tou probably used Google. Could have been bing too. My recommendation is to search on incognito mode.
Spend a lot of time on incognito mode do we? 🤣
Quote: TigerWuIf my phone rings and I'm in the middle of some kind of sensitive operation, I let it go to voicemail. Remember the number one rule of phone screening: If it's important, they'll call back or leave a message.
It seems in Face's case he is worried about missing out on a job.

Yes axel

I've never heard of someone not being offered a job because they missed a phone call...?? That seems like incredibly poor business acumen on the caller's part.
"Hey, you know this guy we really wanted for the job? He didn't answer his phone immediately on the second ring so we're going to go with someone less qualified with less experience."

Ya know, that might just be it. That's been my policy for many years now because, as can be seen, I've little tolerance for that stuff lol. But, in this case, I'm doing a lot of dealings with OWCP, Dept of Treasury, USDOL, as well as legal and medical firms, all of which are far beyond my normal sphere of familiar phone numbers and call frequency. And no, at least in the totality of my 5 straight years of experience, there's but one agent of the 8 or so involved that I can just "call back". With this difficultly of contact and the fact the whole process is on the clock, all calls have to be taken no matter what.
Perhaps my reaction is no more than realizing what's accepted as normal these days due to this forcing of exposure. If ya fancy getting all Bill Nye aboot it, please accept every single call from now until new year's and report back.
the last couple days I've taken Metamucil to assist me with this
not ready to say it's great for losing weight - it gets mixed reviews
but all the sources say it reduces your appetite - and for me that's definitely the case
at this time of day I'm usually snacking up a storm - but now I have no desire to eat at all
we'll see

Did I miss a story somewhere? What happened, were you attacked by a dog on the route?
And not caring one wit about the guy on the other end depending on cold sales .Quote: MaxPenIt seems in Face's case he is worried about missing out on a job.
I hate them. We have to have a land line, but I can hardly leave it plugged in. Someone else quipped, " we keep a landline because we have to" but our friends know our cell #.
But I still get a few calls from my old and decrepit, digitally illiterate friends who repeat " your phone is always busy or you don't answer" so we were starting to get worried about you. lol

To paraphrase Ricky Bobby, "If you don't like the General Lee then f@#$ you".
321 early Chargers were lost for the OG Dukes. Bo's original went for $9.9mm. A non media original in good kit goes today for $50-$80k.
Original sale price - $3,100 (that's $20k in '19 dollars)
At first glance I thought you were talking about the poster. I was thinking WTF, not possible, poker Grinder probably has 10 so hes rich, but then I thought, they would be all spunked up and in terrible condition.Quote: FaceQuote: Axelspeaking of white...

The car or the girl for 6 months?

Swap "6 months of Charger" for "ownership of '71 AAR", I'd give up sex for life and never look back.

Wait, why don't you just get one of those bluetooth ear pieces?
Quote: TigerWuWait, why don't you just get one of those bluetooth ear pieces?
I just learned my phone has bluetooth recently lol. I don't do gadgets. Truck doesn't even have cassette, let alone power windows.
And again, why should I have to spend >$0 and deal with discomfort, with goggles not fitting, respirator not fitting, helmet not fitting, speaker filling with iron filings, earbud blocking ticks and knocks I need to hear, and all the other myriad difficulties it would cause JUST to have privacy and security ON MY OWN PROPERTY?
The question of getting one should be a consideration between me and myself aboot the difficulties I have, like projects coupled with important phone calls. It should NOT be aboot protecting myself from intruders in my own home.
Security, my friend. There are few things more valuable, and they're allowed to piss all over it with impunity.

Maybe it's just confirmation bias but the worst drivers on the road seem to drive pickups. Or some kind of mid-level luxury car.
Quote: TigerWuTrue story -- whenever someone road rages out on me in traffic, like full on screaming out the window and flipping me off, they were driving a white pickup truck. It's happened like three times. Every single time, a white pickup truck. Why do a-holes like white pickup trucks?
Maybe it's just confirmation bias but the worst drivers on the road seem to drive pickups. Or some kind of mid-level luxury car.
I used to be a fairly aggressive driver but I've slowed way down
now I almost always use the far right lane which is for slow drivers
but guess what:

I'm doing 70 on a superhighway where the speed limit is 55 and they tailgate me the message being I need to do at least 80
eff them. I ain't movin' any faster. go ahead and hit me. I'll take the money.
Quote: FaceTrue story - an insult that is true is still an insult. Lucky for you my banhammer fell out the hole in the bed.
I didn't say ALL white pickup truck owners are a-holes.... I was more implying that a-hole drivers are more likely to drive white pickup trucks than any other type of vehicle.
Is that a corpse under the truck?Quote: Face

Sorry, I absolutely hate that. A guy at my office has the remake of the Thunderbird. I think it is a 2002 and it looks much better than the older ones.

Sorry. Dry sarcasm doesn't convey well across text =p
ETA: two friends with white pick ups. I do not go in public with them. A-hole would be a compliment.

Quote: PokerGrinderI’m looking into some things for my trip to Cuba in August, has anyone here been? We aren’t staying at a resort, not our thing. What kind of fun stuff is there to do in Havana?
I think I would enjoy looking at all the old cars still on the road as well as seeing how they've kept so many old items working and serviceable.
Quote: PokerGrinderWhat kind of fun stuff is there to do in Havana?
Agitate for regime change!

You can mambo. There was a Hemmingway tour, but I don’t know if they are still going on since Trump forbid the cruise ship’s from docking. It is my understanding that unlike other countries where American tourist dollars are desired, most folks in Cuba only speak Spanish (and Russian).

Do yachtsmen arriving in Cuba still have to show sufficient food is on-board since so many restaurants have no food?
if it wasn't a scam it looks like it would have been exploitable.
