Red tile roofing for your condo. Works great in wet winter weather :tup:

HA! Too late, we already have (some) red tile roofing on my building, although it's strictly for decorative purposes.
Don't you know that ALL Mid-Westerners wish they lived in Arizona. (that's if they don't live there already)

I know all residents in the UP don't think such. I find it awful, and disturbing that there are "Yoopers" in the UP that would like to seperate this great state. By all means they should have at least pride in the state, again I know not everyone in the UP is like that.

Would anyone happen to know the homicides in 2008 for the following cities: Grand Rapids Lansing Ann Arbor

[Cleveland Brown]

On a serious note I went to see the eye doctor today for what I thought was a slight vision problem ... I going into surgery tonigt or tomorrow at the latest.

I'm still in the waiting room to find out more information.

Hey guys, its been a fun five years, but I'm heading out. Thanks to all of you for the hours of entertainment and in many cases, your hospitality when I ended up in your city (either drunk or during a diabetic hypoglycemic episode ;) ). Drop me a line if you're ever in the Phoenix area (buckeyenative01@gmail.com), or somewhere on the West Coast. I'm still hoping to get out of the desert, but that's not likely anytime soon.

Stay crazy, but more importantly, stay safe.

I'm guessing he asked for it to be that way, but no ideas here.

It's going to take me an hour to clear the TRACE of snow we had last night from the driveway this morning.

I'm back (with one eye for now), but BN and OP have left, WTF?

Within 20-30 minutes of my last post I was in the operating room with doctors trying to reattach the retina to my left eye. I'm extremely near-sighted so it's quite common to have a retina detach. Everything went well, but the left eye is still swollen and I can feel the stitches on my eyeball.

Someone fill me in as to why BN left :shrug:


Cleveland Brown (Cyclops)

[vid]

His health insurance fucked him over, he needed to get a second job to pay for his diabeetus medication and therefore doesn't want anything distracting him.

[HomeInMyShoes]

Hope your recovery goes well CB.

I was guessing it was health related for buckey. Hope he moves here soon. I could use a drinkin' buddy.

[rockyi]

That's only because of a link that was placed in the "other" Coffee Talk thread.

It's soooooo much better than the "other" Coffee Talk. I spent about an hour last night going back through the post's here and laughing my ass off.

Sorry about the retina thingy there Cleveland. Now my afternoon trip to the dentist doesn't seem so bad. Even though, he shot so damn much novacaine in my mouth, the whole left side of my face is still numb, all the way up to my eye.
It actually looks like I had a stroke.

[rockyi]

Plus he was so stressed he thought he would snap at somebody here and get himself banned anyway. :(

We had a prime minister like that.

I miss him. He was fun to make fun of, like Bush.

....I miss him. He was fun to make fun of, like Bush.

You should see me try to drink water. :haha: I tried about 5 minutes ago and ended up changing my shirt.

[Cleveland Brown]

Damn! Is everyone sick and diseased around here? Here's a toast to BN finding something that covers his diabetic medication at one job.

Rockyi Novacane is the key to speaking proper French ;)

[rockyi]

Well, being that my last name is Chouinard, 'tis about time I learnt proper French.


Damn. This novacaine is lasting long. I was going to eat lasagna tonight but unless this shit wears off, I won't know if I'm chewing on a lasagna pasta or my tongue.

[mthq]

mmmm... lasagna... :slob: Well I guess you can try mash potatoes, or soup :shrug:

btw HomeinmyShoes, where are ya? I'll answer your craigslist call for a drinking buddy. Or we can get a webcam so we can be virtual drinking buddies! It'll be so cool!

btw I sent OP a pm saying he is NOT leaving SSP. I have yet to hear from him :( :irked:

^Haha. Wasn't that how the skyscraperpage chat got out of hand a while back?

I'm about fifteen minutes outside of St. John's, NL. If you're in the neighbourhood we can go drinking here:

whoa what's the deal with that?

I do know here in Alaska it's cheaper to fly to Germany than it is to South Carolina.

[HomeInMyShoes]

Air Canada or Westjet. Pick your milk run. I think the best I could do would be St. John's -> Halifax -> Toronto -> Calgary -> Vancouver. I can do St. John's -> Newark -> London in less time, both total travel and in the air.

[HomeInMyShoes]

^You've been in St John's for several months now, Isn't it time for you to pack up and move again?

Maybe.

[vid]

A trip from here to Toronto is about $500 at best, to get to Kenora, a 6 hour drive, it's about $850 and you take a small plane with propellers! :O To get to Vancouver, you have to go to Toronto first! Sometimes you go from Toronto to Montreal then to Vancouver, other times to Winnipeg, then Toronto then Vancouver. It isn't uncommon for air travel from this city to another continent to bring you through every large airport in the country.

I can see Marcus Samaniego's friends, but that's it.

And, in case that isn't the Marcus Samaniego I am looking for, there is a handy link to find others! :) (There are two others.)

JMan's picture looks like giraffe kid, if anyone remembers that from about a year ago in the photo thread. (Ask Jasonhouse.)

Clicking the picture sends me to a sign in page, btw.

Tried out the new snowblower this morning. Sweet!!!

I'll post some pictures of the winter hinterland this place is if I get home after class.

OK, this has gone on long enough! Somebody go out and get Buckeye back here!

[LMich]

Believe me; I tried. I made it known that the door is always open, and that we're not the same without him.

[ltsmotorsport]

He really just needs to get drunk, laid, and move out of the shithole known as Phoenix. Portland is calling him, he just needs to pick up.

[mthq]

Portland? is there a reason why that specific city?

[Ex-Ithacan]

Maybe I should try to talk him into joining the Navy. I certainly got drunk, laid, and in a different city quite often while I was sailing the seas. :D

[ltsmotorsport]

Even with the recruiting problems, I don't think they'd take poor Bucky cause of all his medical issues would they?


mthq; he mentioned once that Portland would be an option for grad school and was seriously thinking about moving there.

There's no Arby's in Yorkton, I had KFC tonight.

I think you're alone on this one, HIMS. Respect the Arby's glove.

I always thought Arby's equaled masturbation considering the whole glove thing in its logo :shrug:

[vid]

I've never masturbated with gloves, I wouldn't know.

[rockyi]

I see a cowboy hat in their logo. :sly:

You're not thinking of the "Hamberger Helper" glove thingy are you?

[mthq]

^i for a long time also thought it was a hat, but i figured it was a glove when they had those commercials with the talking glove.

I've never masturbated with gloves, I wouldn't know.


I can give you mine.

I agree rock, I don't want to revisit the chili I ate earlier this evening.


BTW, How are you doing CB? Hope all went well.

[Cleveland Brown]

Two weeks ago I had a scaleral buckle done, last week I had some laser done on the bad eye, next week I have to have a vitrectomy and removal of a cataract from the bad eye (and I'll be face down for a week afterwards).

In all, I'm doing well :)

I shouldn't be reading/posting very often, but I can't resist.

[Ex-Ithacan]

^ Glad to read your spirits are still up. Hope the rest of the procedures continue to go well.

[rockyi]

I agree rock, I don't want to revisit the chili I ate earlier this evening.


Several times while eating dinner in front of the TV and flipping through the channels, I come across a show with some close-up eye surgery thing going on. I can't turn the channel fast enough! :eek:
