I bought a Ped-Egg for myself because I tend to develop "Walk on fire coals with no discomfort" feet in the summertime.

They aren't just for ladies. :-)

Believe it or not I used to use 100 grain sand paper.

The ped-egg is quicker. :-)

I dodged a bullet by promising to refinish the dining room table this spring otherwise I would be swearing about assembling a new table as well. :-)

What?  You would pass up an excuse to buy more tools?

I would love to try woodworking and buildling my own furniture. ("Every man needs a shed." -- Captain Slow)

I used to have severe callouses on my heels. So bad, that they'd crack and split open and bleed. I finally got tired of that crap and took my belt sander with 60 grit sandpaper and went to work. (It was caused from going barefoot a lot, even in the snow and -10° F temps and some sort of fungal infection.) After a treatment of Lamisil (oral) and wearing shoes, my feet got all better. (I'm glad Uncle Sam picked up the tab on the Lamisil Oral!!!)

Well, no, unless one got careless with it......  :-)

I rented something called "20 Years After".  I hope it's worth watching.

Just got home from work.   I've had about enough of this place.  I'm not taking the HOBET aptitude test to get into the radiologic sciences program at this college.  After spring, I'm leaving Savannah for good and going elsewhere to get my degree.  Too many criminals here, and they get away with shit (like my stalker, for example) with the police watching and not doing anything.  Facebook doesn't give a shit either.  He actually contacted THEM, and they let him join my CR group without my explicit permission (I'm an Admin for the group and I pick and choose who gets to join).   I'm going to repeatedly remove the bastard until Facebook has no choice but actually do something about him.  :hammer:

I'm going to sit here with my peppermint Oreos, and a glass of milk, and try to relax, but it's very difficult to do so at the moment.

Initial thoughts -- Production quality: Mini-series(ish) with obvious "dramatic" closeups.  Reminds me of 'The Stand' miniseries that had Gary Sinise it in (which was on earlier today).

Rating so far: C+

My entire weekend has been the suckage...I won't bore with details. Just know this ranks in the top 3 for worst Thanksgiving ever and we never really officially had dinner.  :thatsright: So, I am on the campaign of everyone WILL have a Merry Christmas, damnit! I have a fire under the collective lazy asses who did nothing during the buildup to the non Thanksgiving, to get the house festive. Anyway, I'm also getting sick, again and this time it's moving to the chest which means working out will once again be thwarted for probably a week or so.  :banghead: Ugh...just a crappy end to the year I guess...I really had hoped for better. :p

I'm sorry you had a crappy Thanksgiving, jty.  :(

There was only four of us this year.  I was expecting a bigger crowd.

Meh, it's ok. Sorry it was quieter then expected. I really would love to have guests, but all of my family  save for my mother live down south. All of my closest friends live down that way too...sigh

What?!?  You have a stalker and he stalks you on Facebook?  That really, really sucks.  Are you able to keep yourself safe?

It's a crap shoot with my mom, since she's a alcoholic.  But she didn't start drinking until well after we ate.  :)

snip....

I should dust off some shooting irons and go to the range today.


Bingo. Right in my back yard (I live in the sticks where it's perfectly legal to bust a few caps).

One hundred rounds of .45 ACP, 10 rounds of 12 gauge, and 50 rounds of .22 LR later, I feel better now.
