That George Bush story was one of my all time favorites as well. Add that to his incredible shoe avoidance capabilities, and…politics and policies aside, easily one of the greatest Presidents of all time!!!

For the sake of Yogi and many others, I’ll abstain.
Spoiler alert- I didn’t die!
I think its snugged away in a “worst injuries” or similarly titled thread.

Haha. If it’s that bad, I’ll just abstain as well.
This made me think. Would I choose an excruciating 8 hours with a kidney stone or a summer outside welding in that heat, sweating inside the mandatory fire retardant suit? I think I might take the excruciating 8 hours of pain.
FWIW, if you are thinking of trying to look for the Drano story, you’re better off not reading that, or anything else in that terrible thread. No, don’t use this as a trigger to get curious about it and search, just go enjoy the rest of your day without that or similar mental images in your head.
I was partally kidding, but still not going to admit allegedly breaking the law publically.
Probably, I would say a bad thing I have done was to break up with a girl by not talking to her anymore. Wouldn’t answer her calls, wouldn’t call her I just stopped as if we never met.
I don’t regret much in life, but I regret that, massively. She deserved better and she was super sweet, nicest person in the world.
I’d take the welding (sticking with the evil I know). In the hoppers of the barges I used to weld it would get to about 120+ inside the hoppers every day by 11:00 am. By 3:00 or 4:00 it was just insane.
Beach Party! (or acid poached coal encrusted hell)
A nice umbrella helps too. 
(edit #2: we almost drew smiley faces on them too, but the paint we had melted the material.)

Nobody can beat war stories…wow!
i laugh whenever someone speaks of death. I had to hold my laugh when my dad told me my uncle died by falling off a staircase.
I remember laughing in my friends face when he told me his grandma died. We were like 11.
Idk why i do it tbh
I just remembered one thing I did, that almoust backfired to me recently…
When my dog was a puppy, my neighbours would often send their kids over to play with puppy. Which was annoying to me because I was basically babysitter for free. So I pretended not to see whenever the pupper was rough to kids, and I pretended to be stopping the pupper by calling it to come to me and secretly giving it a cookie…
Anyways kids soon after that didn’t want to come on their own. And their family also wouldn’t let them go in when they would see that puppper showing it’s small baby teeth at kids.
Just, today, it’s a really large dog. And I recently went to park to let it run and I had a close call because my dog wanted to attack a kid (I stopped it). So now I can only walk my dog on places where there’s no people around…
just let it happen. that’s how boys turn into men. if the boy falls he was not worthy. But if he wins, he is the chosen one.

Who is he working for? If he’s good Smith Industries in Midland is hiring. Large outfit. Midland is a heck of a lot nicer than odessa and he wouldn’t be out in the field that much, since they make vessels in a shop. So some AC breaks.

Hey, thanks. I don’t know, but I’ll ask and give him that information. He just moved his family to Texas, but closer to Stephenville, so he’s still commuting down for work during the week.
As an aside I know the going rate now.
For a code grade welder, it’s low 30s with a guaranteed 20 hours overtime, bonus, health insurance etc. So a nice six figure job. Not bad for a welder!

When asked whether I did anything I was vehermontly adament that I didn’t throw anything… Not my proudest moment
