Maybe it is not me that has Alzheimer's, I do remember posting that pic yesterday.....
Gave three or four kids in Honduras a Lempira each (maybe $1.30 total). They began chattering like monkeys. The Honduran GI with us said they had never seen money before.
I feel the same when I see a set of boobs for the first time…second time…third time…
Honduras was a cool country from what i briefly saw, but I only spent a day there. I managed a few weeks in Guatemala with the Kaibils, and got to see some of the little people mountain brigades. A bunch of soldiers that were about 1 generation removed from the Aztecs
. Quite literally they were all about 4'8".Boobs in person...yes. I still pester my wife every time she changes. Having to furiously scroll fast on my phone so my kids don't see over my shoulder an altered image of a euro-thot...not so much.
Shit isn't going to change for me, I understand that. So I just spend less and less time here.

Just curious. We see all these "Feed the Hungry" campaigns on TV, which seem to raise millions & millions of $$$ for that effort. But how much of that money is actually getting to the Hungry, as opposed to being "skimmed off the top" by corrupt governments and, perhaps, even the charities, themselves? I'm betting that these charities are focusing on the "short term" solution (i.e. "just send $$$") as opposed to eliminating the problem "long term" by teaching the Hungry how to farm, raise animals, plant crops, etc. and become "self sustainable." This, because if they did provide a long term, permanent solution, the charity would be out of business quickly. There goes that revenue stream!
I'm a strong believer in the "teach them how to fish" philosophy, rather than just "catching fish" for them every day.
That sounds like a line some here use with their wives...
I just got bifocals
.My vision is now 20/50 in each eye, but I still refuse to wear the bifocals.
Dude, my travels were almost all military. I have done a couple countries twice (again as a civilian).
I agree with you, but I had zero input in what we did and where we went.
I'll also say that many of the shitholes will never fix themselves...and any assistance causes them to be more lazy, and breed more...creating an exacerbated situation of what they were already in.
Wasn't referring to you specifically, just the situation in general...
Same as the US it would seem. Talked on your "Obama Phone" lately?
About 20 years ago I read an article about the US welfare system. Supposedly, about 10 percent makes to recipients and the other 90 supports the bureaucracy. In a third world country I suspect it’s not even close to 10 percent.
Cam phasers?One of my fears with a two post vs a four post lift. But needed it to do the cab-off engine R&R on my truck.
Today’s progress:
He's just doing an oil change.
Damn modern cars.
Damn modern cars.
I was gonna say spark plugs

Dishwasher unloading the dishwasher
Trust me... as a cave diver myself (refer to my Avatar), that would never happen. Not for me, at least. When we do cave dives, we ensure that the cave is well scoped out in advance and lined properly. One of the very basic rules of cave diving is "Always keep a continuous line to open water This, so you can find your way back when it's time to turn back. We would already know where "Devil's U-Turn" is and how it works long before we entered it. And it it was way too tricky, we'd bypass it for a much safer route. Believe it or not, there is actually, a training cave (where newbie cave divers go to train) here in FL called "Devil's Den." Open water divers can also dive there as the entrance is big enough for them as well. But there are portions of it that are gated off with the infamous "grim reaper" sign attached to encourage you to stay out.
We would never (or should never) impose that kind of risk on ourselves and our families... if for no other reason than it also imposes the same risk to the rescue divers that have to come in behind us and recover the bodies. Perhaps an even greater risk. Not saying all cave divers are that "dedicated" to safety, but they should be.
Just cause you can't see um without your bifocals.
No sir, because I was a barracks Marine in the '90's. We ran trains on stuff like that just for the story afterwards. You weren't a true barracks dude unless you were apologizing to your dick while you in the process of getting it wet. I mean, catch toes on the mattress and push off - only to have to rock back down to where you could catch the mattress with your toes again. Frequently, you had a cheering section too. It was a wild time, because we had some genuine gorgeous chicks that signed up for the same treatment.
The stories bro...
I'm reformed now (with bifocals), but that doesn't mean that I didn't run with the dirtiest of them back in the day.

Rulez because I've broken too many already.
Just one more dishwasher to put a load in before bed.
Even if you do not own (or every use) a trampoline, the chances of you being killed by one are never zero.
Yup…. Set #4 going in. Gonna do the new ones that seem to have finally fixed the issue. But at 115K miles, I’m just gonna rebuild the motor. It’s running fine other than the start up rattle, but it seems a waste not to just rebuild it since I’m already this deep into the engine.
And upgrading almost every sinhle aspect of the motor along the way. Will have the fuel and airflow to go ~1K hp, but will detune it to ~660-700 with the fattest torque curve I can get.
Transmission shit the bed last summer too…just out of warranty of course. I pulled that a few weeks ago, and it’s rebuilt to take at least 750. That wasn’t cheap! LoL.
Rules: $15K in go-fast parts in this pic, LoL
I worked a clinic contract for the local state prison. The most common complaint was surprisingly, indigestion due to eating a Vegimite-like product. It’s a soy product, and for some reason, the predominantly black population had some serious trouble with it. Stomach cramps, foul flatulence, explosive diarrhea. Someone ,probably ACLU, filed a suit, and during discovery found that shady deals had been made, so it was taken out of the menu, for that other reason. They went to pork and chicken because that’s cheap, over new complaints of the Muslims. The response was “fast”.
It’s still the sane. The woman under Biden said it about 10 and she was going strive for 30% to the end user.
This is the “scam” with NGO. They have administrative fees etc. and once it passes through 2-3 NGO’s it been syphoned away.
The NGO then has a big luncheon for the local congressman who got the bill passed or got the NGO involved. 2k a seat and the congressman gets a 100k speaking engagement fee.
Thats how they leave office worth 20 mill when they only earn 200k a year. It’s not insider trading like everyone thinks. It’s the pass through money on a program that might actually be a good idea but is skimmed 5 times before it gets to the kid with no breakfast in Chicago.
I think it’s pass through, or kickbacks as we say and insider trading.
Why you gotta talk about your mom that way?
