  1. There was a story about some statisticians and engineers investigating the damages done to returning aircraft during WW2 in order to try and figure out how to increase the survivability of planes. Finally a pilot spoke up and said you people are idiots, you are only looking at the planes that made it back! I'm go ing to give IUFLA credit for the story because I believe he posted it elsewhere! (correct me if I'm wrong)
  2. I live on top of one of the southernmost ripples left behind by the glaciers. It is pretty much a 400' mound of rocks with a little bit of dirt on top. I have three sink holes in my yard, the biggest being about 8' across and about 3' deep at the deepest point. When I mow I have a self sharpening blade because of all the rocks in my yard. And yet because of the local in the woods with several islands of trees in the yard, when I get done it's probably the best looking yard I ever had. Still have to figure out how to control the sink holes though! Not a green thumb in spite of my grandfather being dean of botany at Wisky.
  3. And sued for liable, threats of physical violence, etc.
  4. I've missed several pages of this thread so SIAP. But I just wanted to interject among all of the medical, financial and unfortunately political news, I've not seen anything about developing a plan to support the emotional needs. SO many people are emotionally weak in this day and age heck it seems like 10% of the people at airports (prior to CV) had support animals! Are we going to see an uptick in Suicide? What about after we come out of this, how many people will have some form of PTSD? I know I am all for "all hands on deck" battling the disease, but there needs to be some people smarter than me working on the emotional side. All I can say is the partisan politicians and media are only making things worse and they need to STOP!
  5. Heck now that I voted and see the results wish I had gone the other way so I could've been an outlier. I could have gone with the I like long shorts better than short shorts! At least on the guys that is.
  6. So does that mean 4 year Yogi get's punished because Noah was on the team? Just playing, mile love you! But, like I said I'm so confused!
  7. Update on my co-worker who's son just got back from Germany, and opted to self quarantine so as not to put our boss a blood cancer survivor at risk. He was ordered back to work today! Told you some managers are a....Holes! He self quarantined in our ME lab! Our plant is still running even though other plants around us have shut down and today Detroit automotive shut down. At least tomorrow they will require all employees have their temperature taken with infra red thermometers before they enter the plant?
  8. So mile when you vote are you going to consider players that only played 3 years worse than the 4 year players? What about the players that weren't allowed to play as freshman?🙂
  9. Wow, so many ways to go with this! Style of play, athleticism, who's rules, length of shorts, best singer? I'm so confused! Cr.p, forgot length of socks and length of hair!
  10. I'm guessing your winner criteria is based on fashion then!
  11. Update so my co-workers son was not quarantined, but in the best interest of everyone, my co-worker is self quarantined to make sure his son doesn’t develop symptoms. Also there are now two fairly significant plants within a few miles of our plant that are now shut down because they each had an employee that exhibited virus symptoms! We are full boar and why are you behind? Some managers are complete..........
  12. Showed it to my boss who is in one of the highest risk categories being a blood cancer survivor with no immune system. Later someone was talking to him about things and I commented I could make a mask for him! He laughed, and told me to GTH!
  13. SO everyone is stressed right now so I thought I'd bring this here. Even though this was done in seriousness in one of the hardest hit places in the world I had to laugh. My Russian friend has a friend that lives in Milan Italy, where masks among other things are hard to come by. This was her attempt to make a home made mask!
  14. So I have a co-worker in a VERY difficult place tonight. His son was at school in Germany and also visited Italy. His son arrives back in the States tonight. They have no idea what the quarantine policy will be. The other side of the story, even if he could see his son, that would be a very bad thing as our boss is a blood cancer survivor with no immune system! Being Manufacturing Engineers we can't stay home and do our jobs. Myself even if they shut the plant down I will still be managing the tooling program being built in China and can actually do 90% of my job from home but I still need direct access to the company server in order get to the product designs! Difficult times ahead!
  15. We have staggered shifts, some start at 5, some at 6, myself at 7, and the office people that pretty much bring nothing to the table except demands start at 8 AM! The 8ers could care less about YOUR destress time at lunch! Can't tell you how many times just last week, they tried to bring me their problems to me after 11!! Their lunch starts at 12!
  16. Oh crap, hope this doesn't happen in Georgia, then I'll have to find some alternate plans to get away from the idiots that have NO RESPECT for personal time at lunch trying to get away from them!!!!
  17. The Sonoran has been mentioned in a couple of threads like the best hot dog thread on page one. But thanks for the reminder!

  19. My grandson has already asked if he can fly to see Grammy! (my ex) My Daughter-in law a third grade teacher out of work due to the virus has already offered to help home school him! Life is good when you have a family growing up under you better than the family you grew up in!!
  20. Normally, I am receiving play lists for the upcoming service. Even here in rural GA today I received tex
  21. People here in GA think I'm crazy when I say I miss the snow!
  22. Found a video on how to do it, but decided it was NSFHSN!
  23. Waite! In order to properly implement self quarantine, do I need to put the glass back in and close the door?
  24. Just to input a bit of good feeling into this Gloom and Doom thread! Just took the glass out of my screen door to enjoy the fresh air! It's freaking 90degs here! Spring is Springing!
  25. Also, the way I understand it, Italy has the deadliest of the two variations. Last I read there are no reported incidences of that strain in America.
