The new approach is to have free speech,  not heavy BIASED moderation like we had under Guyb. 

And so we do. One aspect of that is bears.

I gather you prefer an all powerful one person decider of what stays and goes in Guyb then, as you put it, " A Vitalmx Social Club Clique ", where the direction of threads are based off the many?

I think it's more of a general vibe.  The bears don't normally come out if the thread still has legs but most folks can tell when the horse is dead.

This an interesting clip. The ocean temps are the warmest they've been since they've had reliable ways to measure it. 1950. "We don't know what to think because we've never seen this before, ever". Could be an interesting winter. I'm sensing an epic desert season 😛

Speaking of cats... My cat Amigo is on the right, he likes to start shit. Here he is across the street fucking with the neighbors cat Ollie, in his yard.  This one got settled with the hose 😄Better with the sound up lol. Pretty sure the notch out of Amigo's ear was courtesy of Ollie 😼😬

My OG Husky, Gorby, resolved cat-fights between his cat, Kirby, and any other cat in the hood…🤣

Gorby loved his tabby-cat. Any other cat was canon fodder to Gorby.

Good times. 😎

We have 3 cats. They are indoor / outdoor cats. They go out after 7:00am when most of the coyotes are done with their morning hunting. Then my wife calls them in around 1:00. How any of our cats have not been coyote food is a miracle in it's self. We haven't seen mountain lions in the last 35 years but we still have an over abundance of coyotes, possums, racoons,...  Apollo is the rodent hunter. Napoleon is he bird hunter, and Stormfly is the reptile hunter. They all are great, they do like to ambush each other when someone seems to be not paying attention. Last week we had a rattle snake sunning it's self on the driveway.

One off my neighbors walks her cat like a dog, not even a leash.   It just follows along. Hilarious!

Of course it still does cat things, like decide im just gonna lay down here for a while, I'll get up when im ready.

Cats name is Sarah.

Just the best!

Not the 2 new dogs, but the Aussi and the German (the 2 new dogs still like to chase the cats outside, indoors OK, outdoors not so good yet) anyway, we walk them as a group (2 dogs 3 cats) around the property. If they lag a bit, a short whistle and they catch right up.

Not sure how true that is, I just got benched for 2 months.....not a clue as to why.

I just find this joint entertaining, especially the libby/dems and the rest. Many a good poster has been "86ed" from Vitalmx sadly.

Move on bro. If someone pissed in your cereal, make a new bowl. Nobody cares!

We have all moved on because you're just being a Debbie Downer.

I never realized how hot the house actually was. It said 86 when I turned it on, I drank a couple beers fiddling around fixing a couple vent leaks. Got those all sealed up, opened up the door and the rest of the house felt like a sauna lol.  SOLD 👍

That should say “I had” and not ninjas. WTF autocorrect.


Money well spent. Life changing as far as your overall comfort and sleep. Does your model act as a dehumidifier as well?

Those units do condense water out of the air. And if you accidentally have the plug/cap off the reservoir it'll soak your floor. Ask me how I know lol

Lol yes I had a couple of different ones. My first model was like you described. It would fill up and then it had a little water tray I would unplug and empty the water. The last one I had didn’t need anything.

Many good posters have been clipped. But, you weren’t one of them. Still waiting for your response OW. Would you blow Trump on stage if he publicly gave you a shout out? 

Oh….. I benched 310 today. Pretty good considering how hammered my shoulder was not to long ago. 

Oh look!! My squirrel!!!
