Kids had their first day back from winter break today. Finally snapped the cold spell that caused a lot of schools in the area to close last week, even though my kids were still on break. And with the increased temps and precipitation today, the roads were sheets of ice. School closed. I'm sure the wife will be happy not to have to drive them, but at this point, they need to go back to school. LolActually, I take that back. Just remembered the wife has a doctor's appt today, so now she's gonna be pissed that she'll have to take them with her. And it's a new doctor, too. Smart money is on her cancelling that appt.

Today's Highlights in History:
On Jan. 8, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson outlined his Fourteen Points for lasting peace after World War I. Mississippi became the first state to ratify the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, which established Prohibition.
On this date:
In 1642, astronomer Galileo Galilei died in Arcetri, Italy.
In 1790, President George Washington delivered his first State of the Union address to Congress in New York.
In 1815, the last major engagement of the War of 1812 came to an end as U.S. forces defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans, not having gotten word of the signing of a peace treaty.
In 1867, the U.S. House of Representatives joined the Senate in overriding President Andrew Johnson's veto of the District of Columbia Suffrage Bill, giving black men in the nation's capital the right to vote.
In 1935, rock-and-roll legend Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.
In 1959, Charles de Gaulle was inaugurated as president of France's Fifth Republic.
In 1968, the Otis Redding single "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was released on the Volt label almost a month after the singer's death in a plane crash.
In 1976, Chinese premier Zhou Enlai, 77, died in Beijing.
In 1982, American Telephone and Telegraph settled the Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit against it by agreeing to divest itself of the 22 Bell System companies.
In 1987, for the first time, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 2,000, ending the day at 2,002.25.
In 1998, Ramzi Yousef (RAHM'-zee YOO'-sef), the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, was sentenced in New York to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
In 2011, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was shot and critically wounded when a gunman opened fire as the congresswoman met with constituents in Tucson; six people were killed, 12 others also injured. (Gunman Jared Lee Loughner (LAWF'-nur) was sentenced in November 2012 to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years.)
Post by: Travellin Dave on January 08, 2018, 06:42:51 AM
Five years ago: Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, launched a political action committee aimed at curbing gun violence as her Arizona hometown paused to mark the second anniversary of the deadly shooting rampage.
One year ago: A Palestinian truck driver rammed his vehicle into a crowd of Israeli soldiers, killing at least four people in one of the deadliest attacks of a year and half-long wave of violence (the driver was shot dead). "La La Land" won seven Golden Globe Awards, including best motion picture, comedy or musical, while "Moonlight" was recognized as best movie drama; Meryl Streep, accepting a lifetime achievement award, criticized President-elect Donald Trump without mentioning him by name.

I had contacts, didn't work well with carpentry/dust so it was really great for me. They used to actually cut your lens about 3/4 of the way around, lift it off your eye and then laser out cells.

I've had people at work tell me the same thing. And I've never heard of anyone having any issues. But I don't know, I just don't like the idea of them pointing a laser at my eye. Maybe if I had problems with my contacts, I'd feel differently.

At yourselves, as you think of all the insulting jokes to make about me. Amiright?At ourselves or you? ???Sure it is. It's really hard for everyone to talk when laughing hysterically.Speechless? No, I don't think that's it.Raz entrance lull?Must be. I have such a charming personality, no one knows what to say.

So what was the final verdict?Kids had their first day back from winter break today. Finally snapped the cold spell that caused a lot of schools in the area to close last week, even though my kids were still on break. And with the increased temps and precipitation today, the roads were sheets of ice. School closed. I'm sure the wife will be happy not to have to drive them, but at this point, they need to go back to school. LolActually, I take that back. Just remembered the wife has a doctor's appt today, so now she's gonna be pissed that she'll have to take them with her. And it's a new doctor, too. Smart money is on her cancelling that appt.

It was the first appt with the doc, and they didn't have anything convenient to move her to, so she took them with her. And they actually behaved, surprisingly. So they're sure to be a nightmare when I get home and we all go grocery shopping. LolSo what was the final verdict?Kids had their first day back from winter break today.

Sure you can, you just have to train them first. I remember 30 or so years ago, my kids were with me in aOof.

supermarket, and they started acting up. I quietly said the words, "One, two", and they turned around and stopped fighting with each other. A mother came over and said, "how did you just do that?", I explained it's really simple, they know if I get to three, they will be punished.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
