    When you realize….

    I have to do that occasionally but either way I'll have to do what is needed anyhow. Several years back I had a really aggravating, nasty job that had to be done. I could have paid somebody lots of money to do it but didn't have the money. I then remember $200 left under the mattress on my side...

    Jury duty

    Was on a grand jury once and it was mostly boring with a few exciting cases we had to vote on - yes meant it went to trial, no meant it could be brought back up later before another grand jury. One was a guy who went to pick up his young daughter at his ex-wife's place. She was living with a...

  3. Taco Tuesday - be honest...

    I prefer "blanco hombre", but you do you. :) Friends took me to a hole-in-the-wall place called Taco Town in the Chattanooga area. I'll certainly go back but it was odd that the nacho chips tasted kinda stale but everything else was great! Had several street tacos with rice and refried beans...

    Hope it works…..

    Funny but I was just talking about hauling square bales of hay with someone this past weekend. I was maybe 12 when I actually started getting paid, $1 per hour initially. By age 14-15 it was up to $2 per hour and after I got a real job I didn't want to haul hay outside in the heat any more. My...

  5. ODT Brain Trust - dating advice

    A friend finally divorced his crazy ex-wife and started signing up on dating sites. One day he asked me to look through a bunch that he thought were better than average. I said "they all look desperate". He initially was sad then finally agreed and we laughed as we enjoyed a local Mexican...

    Tattoo fails…

    A guy I used to work with (Maintenance Tech) said he was going to start a business doing mobile tattoo removal. He said if he charged $300 per visit he could remove a tattoo in less than 10 seconds but doubted he would have any repeat customers. I asked him how in the world he could do that and...

    Latin For You

    I know you guys didn't have a choice :D but there is a Latin For Dummies book. Working a tiny bit of Latin (all that I can recall) into conversations has occasionally had other people think I must be highly intelligent! Plus I collect quotations too: Sic Semper Tyrannis = Thus ever to Tyrants...

    Why ?……

    Was involved in bottle rocket battles a few times. Once I got hit right in the, um, sensitive place and it removed a round circle of blue from my jeans. Right in the crotch. And they were my good jeans too. Mom was NOT happy, so every time those jeans got washed I had to fill in the round white...

    Things I’m super good at….

    It happens to me all the time, so why not try to use it to your advantage?

  10. Did you know?

    I remember all the female hoopla over that movie. When it finally came out on VHS we just had to buy it and I found it came on two tapes. We had to sit there watching the whole thing, all the womenfolk chattering over the ladies clothes, then they kept talking about how great Leonardo DiCaprio...

    I have a new hobby. How many ODTers do you think I’ll see…..

    I bought a 5.11 belt about 3 years ago, OD green on one side and black on the other. I wear it with the black side out almost every day at work and it still looks close to new. I sometimes wear it with the green side out with jeans, but with jeans I have several nice leather belts to wear. It's...

    The awkward moment….

    Don McLean was once asked what the song meant and he said something like "It means I'll never have to work a regular job again."

    Leave your problems behind….

    I recall somebody online who had access to liquid nitrogen and whenever somebody in the building where they worked had a tire locking device installed, they would drip some nitrogen on specific part of the lock then hit it with a cold chisel. They would break pretty easy. He said after a while...

    AiR riFLeS aRe sO cOoL

    We used to have a deck and kept a grill back there. It had lots of trees around it. I would sometimes get bored and brought a bb-gun outside to plink while cooking. Finally put some fishing line between two trees about 50 feet away and then hung cans (by the tabs) on the line. Cooking was lots...

  17. "Time blindness"

    I had a relative who was always an hour or two late to any family gathering. The last few years before they died, I urged family members to tell them the event was actually 1-2 hours earlier than it was but they always thought I was kidding. Anyways... We had a great dinner planned with grilled...

    “Terminator” dirt bike

    Jambo> Crap like that bugs me. Me too, and Terminator 2 is one of my top five favorite movies. Yet somehow, when I'm watching movies with friends and family, they DON'T want to hear my running commentary on dumb/stupid/impossible gun stuff. You'd think they would be used to it by now (with my...
