Jersey is the only place I can think of in the world that sucks more than here. That includes most war torn countries.

Yeah been there a few times and the weather is great. I still prefer my little corner of California where it rarely gets above 90 in the summer or freezes in the winter. Summer temps average around 75 with the ocean breezes coming in but far enough inland to avoid the constant ocean fog. Very few bugs and no humidity. Wish I was there right now instead of freezing my ass off here.

You fool.

No truer words have ever been spoken Bart.

I've seen more rotten teeth and plumbers crack in the last 3 days than anytime in the last 10 years. The men are even worse.

Oh I'm not Joe. Just very frustrated. I have much better job offers waiting for me after 6 months here so I just need to suck it up until July.

Yeah that's what my family was telling me. It's 34 here with a wind chill of 24. I now know why I put up with all of the bullshit California has to offer, the weather is the best anywhere in the US.

Looks nice Joe. I would take almost anyplace over where I am now. I'm supposed to be working only the 11 western states and usually the I-5 LA to Seattle but did the Chicago run as a favor and it's coming back to bite me in the ass. My return load to the west was canceled by the shipper yesterday, and then had a mechanical problem with my truck today. Having serious second thoughts about my new career choice right now.

Not a fucking thing. Been stuck in this God forsaken state for 3 days and going nuts. Cold as hell, bumpy roads, and just plain miserable. I need to get out before the next mega-storm hits early next week. I can see why Bullet and Window love it so much. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday Van.

Happy birthday Hexe. I hope you had a great one.

Happy birthday Starfire. I hope you have a great one.

Great post Loader. The greatist generation is quickly vanishing. If you happen to meet one in person take the time to talk to him.

That's great news loader, thanks for the update. Stay strong caracas.

Great post Johnny. I can confirm that it really pays to shop around if you have to pay a large portion of the cost of prescrptions yourself. My wife was in a bike accident nearly 20 years ago and ruptured 3 vertebrae in her neck as well as breaking her jaw. She decided against neck surgery because of the high risk for more permanent damage and opted for being on pain meds for the rest of her life. We had coverage through my company until 5 years ago and never gave the cost of them a second thought because insurance paid for it all. Then when we got on plans with lousy prescription coverage and had to pay most if not all the cost, we quickly realized that her pain meds were well over $1,000 per month. We shopped around and found an online web site where we could get them for $200 a month. We shopped around some more and found that most retail stores wanted between $400 and $1,200 a month, and our regular pharmacy (Safeway) wanted $10,000 for a month's supply. Not quite sure how they justify the high mark-up. The US has demonized the health insurance industry because premiums are so high, but nobody cares about what the insurance companies have to pay for prescriptions and hospitalization. Those costs are completely unregulated and many politicians have become millionaires many times over because of their inside knowledge on stocks for these companies. We wouldn't need the Affordable Care Act if politicians weren't in the pockets of the health care and pharmaceutical industries.

Sometimes difficult decisions must be made for the benefit of the server as a whole, and for those who play the server most frequently. We have made these decisions in the past on the COD2 servers, and while never easy it was always the right thing to do. If one or two players are ruining a server for the vast majority of regular players, action should be taken. XI is the best clan because we take care of our own, and we deal with disruptive behavior quickly and as fairly as possible.

Congratulations Nostradewmus.

Happy birthday my friend. May you never come across the last cold beer and your fridge always be full.

Why, because the word politicians is in it? There are numerous discussions about weapons in other forums besides the political one. It's ironic that we're all here because we pretend to kill each other with weapons, but some take offense at discussing real weapons.

Congratulations Black Cat.

Welcome back Dawgy. I hope that the coming year is much better for you and the family than the previous one.

To you as well dadda. We still have over 10 hours to go here.

Same problem for us on the COD2 servers. The Canadians are getting pings under 30 with some as low as 10. Those in the central US are usually between 50 and 80, and for us on the west coast and other parts of the world we're extremely lucky if it's under 110 with a lot of lag. It's tough to compete with the guys who have the really low pings.

Happy birthday Captain. Haven't seen you on COD2 in a while. Hope everything is going well.

Sorry, it's not youtube. You'll have to click the link, but it's worth it. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c8e_1451423040
