  1. I provide data to people who need it to do their jobs. I also automate the processes to retrieve said data and investigate & repair the processes when they fail (usually because of something upstream from me).
  2. https://wgntv.com/2019/01/04/a-would-be-kidnapper-chased-a-woman-into-a-karate-studio-that-was-a-bad-move/
  3. My GGGrandfather was in the Illinois Volunteer Regiment (I think 91st or something like that). One thing you may find is if you ever come across a picture of the person in their uniform & it looks like someone painted stuff on their uniform, that did happen. Pictures then were too expensive to get repeated pix every time someone got promoted, so they'd have someone paint the chevrons/bars/buttons etc. on the old photo. Such is what happened to my GGGrandfather, after getting a battlefield promotion to Captain. If you can find out what regiment your relative was with, you can look up the movements of that regiment. Following mine, the movements of the regiment seem pretty haphazard. They finally ended up in Macon, GA, guarding prisoners until they were mustered out & sent home.
  4. It was "Peggy". Your Microsoft License has expired, you owe money to the IRS and the Sheriff is coming to arrest you, they have arrested your grandson and need $50K to bail him out, a rich relative has left you money and they need $$$ to process it and send it to you, your Microsoft Windows has viruses that can only be corrected by calling a number and giving them your SSN.

  6. You're also an hour closer to the holiday being over.

    DTS?
  11. A Tarot Deck might be more apropos.
  12. The king of hearts is sometimes called the "suicide king" because he appears to be sticking his sword into his head. This is a result of centuries of bad copying by English card makers where the king's axe head has disappeared. No further information as to why the King's head looked like an axe.
  13. Darn, and I found him help...
  14. Bubblegum Flavored Pumpkin Spice
  15. I wish. I did find out after he was fired that the PD was a former small-time wrestling "manager". Someone at the station found a picture of him dressed up in a tiger-striped suit! It was hilarious.
  16. Tried to find the original, resorted to copying from FB.
  17. I think the station I worked at had that same board.
  18. If you've been this way for a while, you can expect it to take multiple treatments. It is kind of like your body thinks it's supposed to remain in the screwed up position and needs to be forced to think otherwise. I had a herniated disk and could only handle standing or sitting or laying down for a few minutes. That Dr. only had physical manipulation & a traction table and kept me moving during multiple sessions. Now I go to one at least once a month, and if I need it I request acupuncture with electro-stim. It's strange, the more pain that I can tolerate during a session, the better it will feel the next day.
  19. They filmed in or near St. George, UT. They hauled dirt from the area back to the studio for other shots. And there's this, that's a Gieger counter below Wayne's hand (seen with his 2 sons). https://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/374/did-john-wayne-die-of-cancer-caused-by-a-radioactive-movie-set/
