The sightings in the northeast are mostly mistaken identity, but there's a few legit sightings from wandering male mountain lions that made the trip from their range out in the plain states. I remember one was actually killed in CT a few years back....on one of the parkways.

But there aren't any breeding populations in the northeast. Almost all the confirmed sightings have either been escaped captives or wandering nomadic males.

I remember that, he was a loner on a long trip.

Fricken unreal. I'm done with my Thursday league.

It's mostly old guys with high handicaps. Today I played 9 holes, finished gross -1. Best round of the season so far... some asswipe with a 14 handicap (for 9 holes lol) comes in and beats me. I would have had to shoot -3 to win it.

At least I won both closest to the pins (6' and 7'), but still.... screw that.

How many shots does he get in your league? If a 14 played a 4 in our league he would just get one shot on the par 4 and 5's with none on the par 3's.

Fyi, you know ... you can get a healthier hotdog option now and they are fantastic with all the taste-bud savory goodness as the tumorigenic, Industrial Food's Complex version of them from mid last Century, too.

I get 'em all the time.  Of course...you have to enter a "Whole Paycheck" to get them...but, they are even 'Uncured'.  The sodium isn't even huge, either - they are like a 'healthy' choice that takes a D-/F+ staple almost to even B- when balancing (nutritional value + not causing scrotal nodules)/2 ... 

In fact, I can eat as many as three of them with an organic bun option ( also for just 20$ a package at the same "Capital Darwinian" purveyance ) ...and wake up the next morning; never having (yet) suffered the morning with that burr-behind-the-left-eyeball headache that you risk getting from nitrate monosodiumglutemated triglyceride dynamite stick f'ing a bleach bun like it's circa 1978, when that real meal looks like it ain't gon' happen and fair-ground vendor's steam cart is the only option- 

mm-good.

 

What brand Tip? The one's I tried were like rubber but I know there's quite a few on the market now.

Early going in the PGA.   Nice to see Rickie Fowler near the top, even if it is early.  Sounds like the 600 yd 16th is not reachable in two. 

Im not sure I could reach it in 3. I think it's Hampden Golf Course that has a par 5 that's about that long. It took me a driver, 3 wood and I think I used a rescue club to get to the green.

For me, this is basically like buying a scratch-off lotto ticket.

It's kind of fun to watch how nothing but memes and vague tweets can both create and ruin millionaires literally overnight. Most of these coin projects are based on literally nothing at all. 

I bought SafeMoon because I could get tens of millions of it for basically nothing and it has generated some minor buzz. Only takes a couple tweets and a meme or three to jump it up enough for me to get a little scratch.

I wonder how that dude who put his life savings in Dogecoin and saw it go over a mill, maybe he gets the 10 mill he's waiting for or maybe he loses his life savings. I would have cashed out at a mill myself.

You guys and your shit coins. 

I’ll admit I know squat about crypto. Give me caterpillar, or some biotech.

Back in the 90’s, any biotech you looked at would make money. Some of that stuff split 2 and 3 times over a couple of years time. By 2001-2002, if they didn’t have anything to actually sell except a wing and a prayer, they crashed hard. 

Probably the same will happen with crypto's but I don't mind taking a chance with a couple lottery tickets. We'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks.

I got one of those propane weed burners last week, caught one of my bushes on fire, good thing I had a jug of water while I was doing it just in case,

It won’t last. You should be good tomorrow. Which one did you get?

I had 3 of my employees get their second one today. I told them take the day if they needed to. I expect to have light crew tomorrow. But all my folks will be fully vaxed. All 11 of us. 

Moderna,  I got it yesterday morning and felt ok yesterday, tossed and turned all night with a headache so I've been taking tylenol, it's not bad, I can live with it, just needed to rest tonight.

I got my second shot yesterday, feel like crap today, feverish and tired, hopefully it's a one day thing.

I am now the proud owner of 23 million SafeMoon.

When should I expect it to spike to $1.00 a coin? LOL

They'll be a few AMX weather forum millionaires if that happens.

Stocks, oil, crypto’s and precious metals all in the red. Silver is such a manipulated punching bag.

Gold up, I think this has been the start of the next leg up, I'm loaded on gold stocks so hopefully made the right decision.

Don't most people that don't have central AC have those newer floor models that takes 5 minutes to vent out the window?

Hopefully anybody holding crypto’s isn’t worried about this week’s mini crash.  
 

zoom.  out.  the.  charts.

Healthy correction . Seems most are just using play money, better than lottery odds.

I still think the best way to play these cryptos is the way to play penny stocks. Buy a basket of cheap ones like safemoon and hope one takes off like Dogecoin.

Lol jumped in. Got 150 dollar rebate from last year from Home depot so I got 15 million shares of Safe Moon, wish me luck

I'm going to jump in too, its a lottery ticket so let it ride.

I just picked up some of these packets of liquid thc last weekend in Massachusetts. You just pour them into any drink like a seltzer. Edibles can take an hour or 2 to hit you but these take 5 mins. Its a great zero calorie beer alternative.

 

A few companies are coming out with cannabis infused seltzers, like this company

Anyone here use a health savings account? (HSA).

It’s open enrollment for my work right now and I’m thinking of changing plans. I’m on a PPO right now and the costs are outrageous. 
 

The plan I’m looking at is a saver PPO. The per pay period cost is 1/3 of my current plan. The deductible is a lot higher.... but the place I work contributes money to the hsa as well as what you contribute. After the yearly deductible is met, co pays are also less. 
 

baaically, the cost of the plan per pay period... plus the $4000 deductible is cheaper than what I’m paying for the year right now.

Just wondering if their is any hidden tricks that wouldn’t make it worth it 

I think my wife does, she carries insurance for me since I'm self employed, I can ask her when she has some time.

Their goalie is vulnerable if they can get some shots on goal.

Yeah, my wife and I were both on unemployment when furloughed for a time late last spring and early summer for the first time ever when furloughed... we had the opposite effect, this was the first year we got a refund.

We obviously had taxes taken out while on unemployment but then they waived taxes on up to $10k per person and we weren’t on unemployment/furlough long enough to go past 20k combined, so we got all the tax back from unemployment.

First tax refund in a while for us, even with owing for my photography side business.  I always owe because I don’t pay taxes on that income until I file.

I wondered why you took such good pics, I didn't realize you were a professional.

Why do people call black flys may flys?  Makes me mad. 

Everyone around me calls them May flies, probably because they're at their worst in May.

Having my yearly battle with violets. I've yet to find something that kills them.  If you don't keep on top of them they're  a nightmare.

Edit went to lawnsite.com and found a few herbacides but they can't be shipped to Massachusetts.

In Mass you have to hire a landscaper that has access to those herbicides, I have the same problem, I golf with a landscaper and he told me what to use and had the same problem, won't ship to me. In the meantime I constantly spray it with weed killer and it keeps them under control. I'm going to call a couple landscapers this year to see if they take care of them.

Oh I’m sure I would.... I just can’t bring myself to go near it 

Bite down on a stick or something similar while you wife does it, it'll be over in a second, like ripping off a band aid.

I bought a Dewalt - push/not self-propelled $399 - used once. worked fine. I'm finding that lawn mowers and ethanol gas even with stabilizers don't mix well. It was nice to press a button and start right up. I now have two old combustion engine mowers I need to get rid of...neither work

I've had that problem with mine, probably just need to clean or rebuild the carburetor, ethanol does a number on them. I only used non ethanol gas in my chainsaw. Ethanol is terrible stuff for small engines.

Yeah... she said since it’s not a recurring problem and it looks like it was more an issue of how it was cut, the antibiotic should be okay.

If it keeps happening, I may have to get a partial piece of the nail removed or something.

If hasn’t spread of anything, it’s just one side of the big toe, so hopefully the antibiotic clears it rather quickly.

I had to have mine yanked one time, a new one will grow in nice. I dropped a piece of cordwood on my toe and it got infected so maybe different than yours but still hurt like a mofo, I hobbled for a couple weeks before I went to the doc.
