gf is actually like that, no ADD but she drinks coffee at night and it puts her right out

I believe they say coffee helps you hold focus, thus an person constantly distracted and unable to focus would benefit from it.

That stuff was gross. I slammed a lot of it that summer they had cute girls giving bottles away on street corners, though.

I liked it too! Sometimes I'll have a cup of coffee and an open bottle of Coke at my desk, and alternate sips.

Another gross-sounding (and -looking) combo is orange juice and Coke -- they sell it in some countries, and it's actually kinda good.

I read somewhere recently that Taco Bell is going to start selling OJ mixed with Mountain Dew as a breakfast drink.

To add to my **** day, my wife lost her debit card, which is our only access to all but $100 of our funds until next Tuesday. Sweet.

Some folks also keep emergency funds in a home safe. I think 500 bucks would be a good safety net for situations like this.

They issue temporary cards too until your replacement arrives in the mail.

Oh yes of course, I was speaking to the temp card. I lose/crack/break mine frequently and I just go to the bank and grab cash for a week.

Her bank account us a holdout from when we lived in Indiana. The closest branch is 50 miles away. She's stubborn and dislikes change.

According to the doctor that saw me wincing as I worked on his bike, my thumb was dislocated. I have no insurance.

Left thumb, for reference:

Sweet.

Thats really nice and rare of him. Most doctors if they dont know you personally and even if they do, wouldnt do it outside the office due to the abundance of malpractice suits out there today. (Grandpa and uncle are both Docs)
Im pretty sure I wouldnt even perform CPR on somebody out of fear of breaking a rib and getting sued.

Spoonrobot 09-07-12 02:27 PM

50 miles away? Indiana?

Epic century to Gary!

RGNY 09-07-12 03:27 PM

wrote All City to confirm that the chainline (as i measured it) on the Nature Boy with stock equipment (FSA Vero/110 bb) was 44.5.

answer? "I believe you are correct."

thanks for the non-answer. heck i think i'm correct to, but i thought someone there might -know-.

Scrodzilla 09-07-12 03:30 PM

Ha! Who did you hear back from? I may be able to get a better answer for you.
