How would I disable all the double click cookies that some sites have? What I am talking about is when I go to some sites that have articles I will click on an article and I always click the back button to go back to the main page, but some sites load so many cookies that you have to click 6-8 times to go back using the back button or else I have to right click on the back button to get the dropdown menu to pick the original page, some sites are getting horrible and in the secondary page when I click the go back menu there are sometimes 6+ double click ad cookies that load after the main page. So how do I get around this to get back to clicking the back button one time to…

Gun Control. It already has started at Cabela's....There was a bit of confusion at the Cabela’s Sporting Goods store this morning.When I was ready to pay for my purchases of gun powder and bullets the cashier said..........."Strip down, facing me."Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control whackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.They need to make their instructions to us bitter clingers a little clearer!

Working at one of my accounts today, one of the Amigos told me the farm manager OKed me to cut and haul firewood off the farm!!!! Lalo, the amigo, showed me the first tree they'd like removed..............it's a monster white oak, with about a 36-40 inch truck that fell last year during the drought/heat wave. That tree alone is probably 3-4 cords of wood at least!! It also took out a few 10-12" maples in the process. Looks like I'm gonna be set with wood for a while. Gonna start cutting and hauling on Sunday!!! Should probably get a new chain or 3 also!!

There is some discussion in Oregon and other states to place a higher tax on vehicles, 3/4 ton and larger trucks. Are they picking the wrong people? Should EPA and state gov'ts be looking at airlines instead?How many gallons per person is burned to say fly an hour.In the same 6-700 miles it only takes about 33 gallons for two people to get to point B with our trucks.If I'm taking my rv it takes 46 gallons but don't need a hotel when I get there.Anyway look at the sky in the morning between major cities. Contrails everywhere.Do the planes have cats, DFP filters, exhaust gas recirculation or any kind of smog control like our trucks?Just kickin' it around for any thoughts/ …

Havent really talked much about it on here but was just wondering how many of you are into trail riding? (dirt bikes, atv,s, side x sides, etc) I grew up on dirt bikes and quads. Had a handful of 125 2 strokes, but mostly 4 stroke bikes. I also had a 86 250r quad and a lt 250 quad racer. My wild days are over (have 2 kids to think about now) but I still get a thrill out of being on one. In 2005 I sold off my last sport bike and bought a new Honda Rincon 650. Its been an awesome machine. Its alot bigger than my old sport quads but not as big as alot of the monster utility quads theyve got out there today. Its like the best of both worlds for me. I can still push it if I wa…

Well in case some of you didn't notice I have been gone for the week, I was at a "Failure Analysis" class at a Caterpillar training facility this week.Although it was put on by Cat it is a general course that can be used to troubeshoot anything made of metal, we had parts from many other Brands of engines and equipment as well.All I can say is WOW!!!! I wish I had the knowledge learned at this class 20 years ago at the start of my wrenching career instead of the tail end of it.Taught us a lot about metalurgy and being able to look at any kind of part and be able to tell WHY it failed from from several different objective angles. This was the first class there is another a…

Sooo I might not be in college much longer. In october I was in the hospital for this reoccuring heart issue that they never have an answer to but gladly charge $12,000 for. I end up forking $1,500 of it. Well it happened the past April as well so thats $3,000 total. This last time it happened at home and we went to the hospital and they decided to take me by ambulance all the way back here and that was another $400. The issue is just that something infects my heart for about 30 minutes and makes it seem like I'm having a heart attack. Doctors don't have a clue so they say I can sit in the hospital for months until it happens again, constantly monitoring me (what a …

He writes: My lead flight attendant came to me and said, "We have an H.R. On this flight." (H.R. Stands for human remains.) "Are they military?" I asked. > > 'Yes', she said. > > 'Is there an escort?' I asked. > > 'Yes, I've already assigned him a seat'. > > 'Would you please tell him to come to the flight deck. You can board him early," I said.. > > A short while later, a young army sergeant entered the flight deck. He was the image of the perfectly dressed soldier. He introduced himself and I asked him about his soldier. The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk about them as if they are still alive and still with us. > > 'My so…
