Sex. Also, I find that laying my head right on the bed (get rid of the pillow) does the trick. And, think good thoughts (beach, movies, sexxxx). Sex. Fretting over bills or work problems will keep you awake all night. Did I mention sex?

Or listen to passedpawn's late nite playlist. For your late nite soundtrack, Vienna Teng. One of my favorites when I'm up in the wee, wee hours. Sublime.

A good fellow on this forum, a NY city cop, once said something like - HBT is like a bar. We come here to have fun and find comforting fellowship. (those were not his exact words, he expressed the idea much better)

Cheers folks!

Never a bad thing.

After the day I had on Thursday every time I close my eyes I hear the sorrowful screams of my colleague replaying in my head. It's damn painful.
 
Morning All. Its 620 am, is the bar open?

Question for the members..Been a blade shaver all my shavin life, 40 yrs or so. Tired now of the nicks and such. Most are centered on my Kirk Douglas chin. Looking for a recommendation on a good electric shaver.

These can get kinda pricey, like to hit a good one on the first try. Don't think you can test drive one. I do know if will take some time to transition the ugly mug from a blade to electric.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Yep.

I was forced to update to the new app since the old one no longer works. I held out because of all the complaints. But I've been using this app for about a half hour now and I'm actually considering it an improvement!

Except for the ads, since Premium supporters are supposed to be paying for an ad-free environment. :mad:

Yep I had it off, but then I updated. I reset it to off by my next post. :mug:

I thought about changing it to say: "Sent from my iPhone 6 beta using Home Brew mobile app"
 
Melana, what happened to the girl? Every parent's worst fear is for their child to die before them. It's horrifying.

We don't know yet. She was found on the floor in her closet.

Oh I know all about the fear of a child's death.... My girl is 4.5 and she is everything to me. If she becomes anything close to the 20 year old that I was I'm locking her in her room.

Haha, I love that. I just picked up a new iPhone 5 yesterday. I do fear that the iPhone 6 will come out tomorrow and be revolutionary, and I'll be stuck in a 2 year contract with this one.
 
Passed, I don't know if you're able to change or make recommendations for the app, but I found a bug. It appears the coder was lazy and merely identifies signatures by the first two words, telling it when to switch the font.

I'll give you an example mid-sentence. After using the words "sent" and "from" in succession (i.e. "sent from" ), it adjusts the font to the smaller, italicized signature font. I actually found this out on my second post with the new app by accident, using those two words for an entirely different purpose. Just wondering if there's any way I can report this bug.
 
I should probably note that I am encountering the bug in the Android app. The nature of it suggests it depends on which platform the post is being read on, not which platform the post was sent from (intentional ;)), so it's entirely possible iPhone users don't see it, though posts made on an iPhone (or even a computer, for that matter) would still display the same bug for Android users.

Thanks. I copied your report to the Feedback forum. TxBrew, who oversees app development, sees everything posted in that forum.

(This post is very long. The bottom is a quotation and worth reading, please)

I found out a little more about my son's upcoming deployment to Afghanistan and it is a bit unsettling. I'm proud of my son, he is truly a good young man, the thought of losing him, even if it was honorably serving our country; it's a thought I don't want to think about but many families have faced.

We have lost too many of our young men and women to war. War! What is it good for? –Absolutely nothing! Forty Five years after Edwin Starr asked the question; there still is no good answer. It was the answer in WWII, we triumphed! But since then.. WTF have we won and why have we lost so many souls for nothing. I was just reading the other day that Iraq has gone to he!! In a handbag since we left.

I'm a Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) but to be honest haven't had the guts to make many missions. The last one I went on has been some time ago. As the flag draped casket of the fallen young Marine passed our Honor Line; all of us saluting, I was overcome with emotion and my hand, whole body shook very noticeably. It’s sort of embarrassing. I’ve thought about just being a flag holder, I could grip the flag pole and maybe steady myself. It’s a pretty selfish reason of mine not to attend a ceremony honoring a person who gave their life for this country. Unfortunately there will be another mission soon. I’m going to take it.

The PGR if you are unfamiliar with them first started out protecting fallen servicemen’s funerals from the goons of the West Hills Baptist church . PGR is now requested often for any veteran who has passed on. Color Guard, escort to the gravesite.. And they even honor returning (live) heroes back to the USA or departure, back to the battlefield..


Here is the background on the last young man the PGR honored last week, in my area. I didn't make the mission.

Corporal Farrell Gilliam, USMC.


On January 5, 2011, our 25 year old Farrell stepped on an IED while on a dismounted patrol with his unit, (3/5 Marines, Lima Co.) in the Sangin District, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He suffered many catastrophic injuries, including the amputation of both legs above the knee and several open fractures of his right arm including a 6 inch segment that is missing bone and tissue. His worst injury however was to the right side of his chest and abdomen, which took the full impact of the explosion, and left him completely eviscerated as a result of the blast.

With the help of Hospital Corpsman HM3 Brown, HM3 Gojar, Cpl Griff, and Lcpl Gutierrez, lifesaving measures were immediately undertaken to stop his bleeding in the field. He fought for his life in the back of the Marine transport truck which raced him back to camp. He fought for his life as he was Medi-Vac'd from base camp to a hospital in Kandahar where he underwent 9 hours of damage control surgery. He fought for his life as he was medi-vac'd again to Bagram Hospital in Afghanistan, where he underwent further damage control surgery. He fought for his life as he was flown to Landsthul Germany, where he underwent further surgery and again as he was flown to the US, arriving state side, on January 9, 2011 at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda Maryland (outside Washington DC), with trips to the OR continuing every other day since then. But Farrell is a fighter! The Doctors have said that to survive an abdominal wound like his is one in ten million - they rarely see them because nobody ever survives them.

We are sad to say that earlier this week Farrell succumbed to further injuries from which he did not recover. We pray for the family and ask for God's peace. We also pray for the brothers and sisters left behind. You know who you are!! Pick up the sword - be the heart, be the love and be the voice. As long as you stick together and remain as one nothing can beat you! You will make a difference!!

Semper Fi,
The Boys of 3/5

I'm sorry about your friends daughter Melana. That's really awful, tragic news. I agree that it's a parents worst nightmare, but I guess that goes without saying. My daughter is 21 now, and ever since she was old enough to start driving or go hanging out with friends on her I own I've always wished she would be little again. At least then I had a little more control over her safety and well being. Every time she goes out (especially at night) I worry. I don't suppose that will ever stop.

Dan, I can understand why you would be worried about your son with all of this said. I can also understand why you are so proud of him.

Does the bar close?

This is the shaver I've got. I'm happy with it. Shaving cream makes me break out, so I always dry shave.
 
I don't have a heavy beard. Both my brothers have a heavy beard but I didn't get that trait. I used an electric once or twice. My dad always used one, but when I did it just burned my skin.

I'll stick to blade shaving and foamy shaving cream. Sorry, Doug. No recommendations for ya.
 
Thank you Dan and Leadgolem. Appreciate the info and suggestions.

Dan, Im sure your son will be fine. Emotions are a release, no harm in expressing them. In my opinion it take more courage to show them than to suppress them. Im sure your rides and honor guards are appreciated very much by the grieving family, emotion in check or not. Thank you to you and your son for your\his service.
