I’ve had 16 clients call in with pipe bursts since this cold snap. These homes in the south are just not built for the extreme freezes.

I’ve been at a friends house last 3 days helping him dig and fix is line. His main line in some spots were only a few inches under ground. What’s a freeze point? Haha

Russians, esp ones in the employ of Russia, typically speak Russian. Wait, this is a setup.

So your issue wasn't the fact that they spoke with Russian accents. You wanted them speaking in Russian, and you want to read the subtitles. That's not my preference for movies, but whatever floats your boat.

I wasn’t real high on him….. he has a fantastic arm with great mobility…. He is not ready yet and the titans are doing him a disservice by playing him…. You have to tailor your offense to fit his strengths like the Ravens do for Lamar Jackson.

I haven't seen any evidence of this fantastic arm that you're referencing. Granted, I have watched very little of the Titans this year, but in two games that I've watched, his arm looks serviceable at best and more accurately described as weak.

Long story short..In mid July 1998, after several years of drug addiction had destroyed literally everything, I was sitting there on the front steps thinking seriously of blowing my brains out when a miracle happened. It was one of the most surreal experiences I have ever had, and I would be a complete utter fool and liar to deny that God exists after it happened (I've had several experiences like that in my life, but this is the one that pertains to this particular event)

A complete stranger walks up to me while I was sitting there on my front steps smoking a joint and hopelessly thinking of ending myself, and bummed a cigarette, then he oddly looked at me in the eyes for long moment and tells me that he sees a darkness around me and that he felt compelled to tell me his life story, so he asks if it is alright and I just kind of looked at him like he was crazy and said "go ahead I ain't got no where to be"...

So he tells me how as a young man he had been a preacher with a wife and a young daughter, and on the way to a revival meeting a drunk driver had hit them, killing his wife and daughter...after that he said he blamed God and lost his mind and started drinking heavily.

There was a lot more after that part, but the point is that when he got finished he said "Son...call your Momma to come get you, and go home and make it stick"

I just sat there bawling the whole time he was talking and when he said that I said "I think I will"...I then said something to him about my brother getting married in a few weeks in St Pete and I was supposed to be there for the wedding, and he said that was weird because his great niece was getting married in St Pete in a few weeks...turns out his niece was the one marrying my brother..like I said this was one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had.

After that I walked up to the convenience store a mile away and called Mom collect on the pay phone out in the lot...she asked me exactly where I was at and said she had to go get my baby sister from West HS and would be there asap. From the time I called her she made it from Knoxville to Murray County Georgia in just a little over two hours.

I went home, went cold turkey and God turned my life around...I have many flaws, but I am not the person I used to be.

Especially today it rings loud and clear.."For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son"

Merry Christmas everybody.

Obviously, a couple of days late on this, but thanks for sharing, McGill. Great, inspiring story about what He can do, what He does, and why He came in the first place. And we're not perfect yet, but because of what He did, we know we will be in time.

In what world do we think this ok? I'm old fashioned I suppose.

It goes without saying she was wrong.

It's never okay to hit another person,
Unless they hit you,
Unless the person that hit you was female,
Unless the person that hit you was female and you're also female,
Or unless you're male and the female is universal pro-equality,
Or unless you're male but don't identify as male,
Or maybe unless it's a female that's assaulting another female. Like hitting your mom, sister, wife, or daughter.

Hmm, maybe more nuance than we typically attribute to the situation...

Typically a woman with an Adam's apple, wouldnt open hand slap you. I mean, since we're all generalizing, when in Rome.
