  maybe his top half was submerged and bottom out of the water?

This is what happens if you lose you balance while fishing for piranhas    ***WARNING VERY GRAPHIC PICS/VID!!!***   Don't click if you can't handle that kind of stuff     http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c33_1407012541

    If it is only about the speed doubling, most of Nashville has already been through that upgrade.  So if Dave had 50mb internet, 100 is the new normal... but most other people have been upgraded for months now. http://multichannel.com/news/distribution/comcast-boosting-broadband-speeds-some-bundled-customers/260726

  That sucks.. we use our own surfboard modem, pay for 25mb get 75mb and it peaks around 100 late at night & during the day when everyone is at work.

Best people we deal with is Dollar rentals.  We've tried all the big ones, but Dollar seems to have the best deal and are the easiest to deal with (rent cars on trips at least 2 times per year).  With Dollar, we just pay for whatever kind we want (usually a midsize) and they just let you go pick out your own car from their inventory at the airports.  If you see something better you like, just go ahead and hop in it and they'll figure out the price difference later.   Having the option to just pick what you want on the spot is worth paying a few bucks extra (although it's usually the cheapest).   Also to add in, we've had issues when not having the insurance with Hertz & Budget both - they tried to scam us, but I always take photos of the cars from every side before touching them.  In 4 different states and probably 6 or 7 times renting, Dollar has never given us an iota of grief over anything.

nothing here, must just be in your location.

Well, it appears that Troy industries is implementing a version of this device into their AR's now. Fortunately this company understands their customer base is too stupid to count higher than 1 so they simplified it: . . . . . . . . . . :D

  Not a derail, OP needed to see what the definition of getting dealt a shitty hand was.  It's hard sometimes for people to understand how good they actually have it when they're down on themselves.

  Not sure what you mean, we are talking theoretically here... if all of those plants die off, it will probably be due to that new outbreak of the ebolavine virus that only infects intrusive overgrowth.  Nothing btq could do to stop it!

  If they don't have that ground clear stuff or killzall  (never heard of it) check out the round up 365.  we needed to kill off some thick bushes where blackberries used to grow, sprayed that 365 on there and the next day that entire patch was literally brown.  Never seen weed killer work that fast, especially on bushes.   Spray it on the leaves on your side and up under the fence as much as possible at the bottom, that crap will kill anything that has roots below where you spray.

  Would guess that just about every one of us here came from bad situations, not minimizing your issues, but we've already been there done that kinda stuff.  But you've got two options, you can stay comfortable in what you know and keep dealing with the drama or suck it up and make something better for yourself.  People don't 'make it' in life by sitting around dwelling on how bad everything sucks, they make it because they suck that sh!t up and move the f*** out.   Gordon on here probably has the worst medical situation of any of us around, and you will not see him make one post about how terrible everything is.  I'm probably pretty close behind him, busted my ass in the military got money for college (cause I was too dumb to get a scholarship and too white to get a grant), got in an accident that almost killed me in 2011, and while in ICU my wife was holding up the laptop so I could type with one arm and finish my capstone project to graduate in 30 days.   Point is we all got issues, some more than others.  What makes us different is if we use those as opportunities to make ourselves better or use them as an excuse to sit and fester.

is your fiance's name "Sammie" by chance???

  That's pretty sad on a serious level man   Are you eligible to join the military?  I will take off of work and drive you to the recruiter if necessary any day of the week.

  I'm with this guy, trimming those back will only last a little while, you have a problem that needs to be addressed by unrooting the stuff or as enfield said, something that will kill it off completely.   As for the trimming, I don't think a battery powered anything is going to help that. 

Wouldn't matter if it took 100 tries, doing that is pretty good, but drawing and firing under a second down range is tough, doing both of those together is amazing whether it be trick shots or practical use.

That was quick!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL5IIvVWzXI

This is definitely the thread of the year, should send the OP a free t-shirt or something

We have all of our trees umbrella'd (if that's what it's called) up to about 7' and it has no issues trimming multiple 1/2" branches at the same time. I think it says up to 3/4" is the max size that will fit in it, but I didn't really try to max it out. Another great thing about that one is that it has a 5 year warranty, and 3 year on the battery no questions asked (or no hassle whatever the verbiage was). Oh, and the fact that it makes very little noise and not having to worry about hearing protection is great too. I wish they would figure out a way to make about a 1000cfm battery powered back pack blower cause I would get one of those too. Here's how much stuff we have to trim, this is just on one side of the house lol... the bushes go all the way around behind me blocking out the pond and that's not even the biggest task... on each side of the property line there is a row of some kind of hedges that are about 40' long, 6 feet tall and 4-5' wide all trimmed up.

    Good lord that caused an good belly laugh!  spent almost 6 years overseas in the lands where green cards rule and have never heard 'dependapotamus' used  :rofl:  :rofl:

  That kobalt battery powered hedge trimmer is awesome!  I thought it was going to be complete crap and expected to return it, but it ran for over an hour on a singe charge, only weighs 6 or 7 pounds and cut pretty much all new growth with zero issues.   The only thing it would not do is that we have two rows of hedges that are pretty tall and I went to cut them down about a foot on top and it would not cut that growth... but then again our 2 cycle power head wouldn't even cut it with the trimmer attachment, I had to go buy a 4 cycle ryobi to cut it down.   Anyways, the kobalt trimmer really surprised us on what it could do and how light it was.

All joking aside...   Maybe you should check out the military as an option, not only will it get you out of the situation, you'll meet plenty of girls that will be the new "love of your life" and the military will help you get your life on track.   Never too late to get your sh!t together and make a better life for yourself!

And every 'good' thread needs a meme to sum up someone else's statement

I'm the usual kinda guy; beer breaded catfish (nuggets or filets) and flounder from the grill with nothing but a little bit of spice/heat on it.   Nothing spectacular as far as that stuff goes

  That pilot is a wuss... everyone knows you have to keep your hands up to really enjoy the ride!  :rofl:

Hell I think the OP should make some bugout plans, then send the fiance a link to this thread.
