This is strictly for non-political, fun conversation. It's alot easier to discuss things with someone when you realize you have some common interests, fishing, music etc. Besides, lets face it, politics gets old sometimes too :) Enjoy, Please, NO flaming, name calling etc. Have some fun!
How can a person be bipolar?That seems redundant.
Aren't you just polar?
Good one, Rick! :^D
LOL.
Bi-Polar seems to be the new catch all affliction. Everyone who has problems is suddenly bi-polar now. Similar to every kid who acted up being ADD.
Â
I've talked to people in their 60s who claim to have ADD.
They use it as a reason for having two desks piled a foot deep with paper.
I've always thought ADD was just an excuse to be inconsiderate.
Aren't you just polar?
Maybe a way to say it is that I have a polarity problem. :-)Everyone who has problems is suddenly bi-polar now.
Exactly! It's called actual feelings for all you (general n.) Prozac shoveling excuses. Deal with them and own them.Â

Somedays I wish I had turrets so I could go off on someone who really deserves it :)
O.K in retrospect it's a horrible disease and wouldn't want it but if you had to pick a disease........just kidding.
LOL!
I guess I'd want Alzheimers. I'd never know that I had it.Â

I wonder if there are any monks who took a vow of silence even though they had tourette's syndrome? Or could you imagine a minister giving a sermon with tourette's syndrome? Someone answering a suicide hotline with tourette's syndrome?

how do you know it was bad if you did see the entire movie?
that's like saying a joke isn't funny without hearing the punchline first.
It must be bad if you're not willing to stay and watch the rest of it.
well, there's that non-linear thing, where you don't know why you are being shown something until they show you the first part of it later in the film. That could make you think it didn't make any sense and therefor was bad when all that it needed to be good was a little patience.
how do you know it was bad if you did see the entire movie?
Do you have to eat an enitre meal before you realize it sucks ? You pretty much know at the beginning. Half way through it was plenty to come to an opinion.
Â
Â
one course affects the other. a fair meal can be made a great meal with the right dessert.
Know what?
Like I said, the film used a non-linear timeline. therefor you would't know why they were showing you something until you saw what happened before later.
An opinion about what? Certainly not the entire film.
Like I said, you can't know if a joke is funny or not unless you hear the punchline.
And sometimes the last ten minutes can make a movie great or awful.
So you've never changed the channel watching T.V ?
Kinda like when you score what you think is some really good dope and you get half way through the first bowl that turns out to be really bad....ahhhhhhh, nevermind crabhole.
Well, I watched the whole movie, and I thought it sucked.

Someone answering a suicide hotline with tourette's syndrome?
I read a book about a guy that worked a suicide hotline that would always tell the poeple they should go ahead and commit suicide.
One of my favorite quotes is from that book.
A girl calls and asks, "Does it hurt very much to die?" Well sweetheart, I tell her, yes, but it hurts a lot more to keep living."
Wish I could remember the name of it. It was quite good.
It was the same guy that wrote "Fight Club".
LOL!! Thanks for the new tag JT

Pakistanis die hitting anti-tank mine with hammer
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Two Pakistani villagers were killed in an explosion after they tried to break open an
anti-tank mine with a hammer to use the casing for a stove to fry snacks, police say.
Villager Muhammad Latif found the mine in a village near the town of Sialkot, near Pakistan's heavily fortified
border with rival India, and brought it home, Mirza Zafar, a senior police officer in Sialkot, told Reuters on
Wednesday.
Latif wanted to use the casing to make a stove to cook pakora, a type of fried snack popular during the
Muslim fasting month of Ramadan that starts this weekend, he said
Their last words spoken. Hey, look what I found a landmine! That would be awsome to use as a cooking stove! Muhammed, go grab the hammer from the truck so I can pry the lid off this sucker!
Love the horse looking out the window saying..What the hell buddy?

About as close as you can come to buying the farm.

Bwaaah!
I love that movie!
It's so stereotypical, it's funny.
I have a photo I took of a tow motor accident that happened at a warehouse I worked at. It got driven into a rail pit.
what is a "tow motor" and "rail pit"?
a "tow motor" is what that picture is of. All forklift trucks are "tow motors", the ones with forks on them are tow motors that are being used with a fork lift attached. Tow motors can have all different types of things attached to them. Platens, spades, hydraulic squeeze plates...all kinds of things. The fork lift is the most common, which is why the name "forklift" is often thought to be synonymous with the term "tow motor"
a "rail pit" is a pit where boxcar trains park to be loaded and unloaded. They are the height (or depth, depending on how you look at it) of the doors of the boxcar. This enables you to drive a tow motor in and out of it.

Interesting, I never heard those names used before. Were they originally used to tow stuff and that is how they got their name?
they are still used to tow things.
usually it's the hydraulic lift that is attached to it.
I suppose that the tow motor part of a lift truck came before the hydraulic lift, so yes, I guess so.
The one I saw go into a rail pit was a 5 ton motor with long forks for handling lumber. These motors had devices under the seats that shifted the motor into neutral unless someone was sitting on the seat. These devices kept breaking down, so the company decided to remove them all instead of keep repairing them. Well, a tow motor tends to vibrate. And when the carpenter using it got off to adjust the load, it vibrated the tow motor into gear and the truck took off without a driver. The carpenter jumped on just as the truck was going over the edge of the rail pit (about a four foot drop). He dove off into the pit on one side, the truck landed and teetered, deciding which way to fall. Fortunately it fell away from the guy in the pit, but it was touch and go there for a bit.
Dumbass company almost killed that guy to save a few bucks on a safety device.
I worked in a lumber yard in High School. Two guys were buzzing through the yard at the end of the night to make sure everything was picked up etc. They didn't see eachother and one turned a corner and broadsided the other lift. It  pretty much imapled the body of the other lift. Fortunatly nobody was hurt. If the guys forks were 10" higher he would have likked the other guy.
These motors had devices under the seats that shifted the motor into neutral unless someone was sitting on the seat.
We have a Clark and a Caterpillar, but they do not have this device. The Cat can be locked into neutral, but you have to manually push a lever to do it. Your way sounds much safer.
These motors had devices under the seats that shifted the motor into neutral unless someone was sitting on the seat.
Don't the cheapest of riding lawn mowers have that safety feature?Â
Interesting story and lingo.
We had Allis-Chalmers. I drove one of those things backwards for better than three years.
The only ones I ever drove were Hyster. Although right before I left we had a stand up Crown lift. You could hop off the Hyster running the only thing you had to do was throw it in nuetral before you started it. It didn't matter if you were on the seat or not. Perhaps they came that way but I'm sure somoene rigged it so the thing didn't kill everytime you hopped off one.

Crabhole just thought he was going backwards.

'Day After Tomorrow,' Plus 9 Or 10 Beers, Led To Fire, Georgia Man Says
POSTED: 9:17 am EDT October 16, 2004
UPDATED: 9:28 am EDT October 16, 2004
CORDELE, Ga. -- A Georgia man facing arson charges for burning his own home is blaming nine or 10 beers, and a disaster movie.
Charles Adams told Crisp County authorities he had been drinking while watching the movie "Day After Tomorrow."
Adams allegedly told deputies that after watching the special-effects extravaganza depicting deadly natural disasters caused by global warming, he decided to set fire to pillows on his bed.
The flames destroyed his doublewide mobile home.

When I was 18, I spent a week in Nara Visa, New Mexico and the surrounding area.
Just about everyone had trailers. And I'm not talking trailer parks here either. As their house, they had trailers, and o
nly the "Rich" had double-wides.
No shit.
