We set the water levels. Like paving a road. Constitutionally mandated. "Common Highways, forever free of duty or toll." 9 foot channel, harbors (of refuge) are congressionally appropriated. Like the USPS... Who else will do it?

Name brand is best. Choosy Mom's still choose: Followed by: Then that QueerBait: NOT that there is anything wrong with it...

Sure does! I work next to a landfill too Cupcake! LoL... Rub some dirt on in, take a deep, dank breath of that dirty air! You can stay here...

Be prepared to read and weep your ill educated take on automation... Maybe there is a lawyer algorithm... But in the work a day world... Things gotta get moved. Never (reply to your post)! In the last 50 years we actually added a worker. Crews were one person years ago. Now two! S.A.F.T.E.Y. ...Will always need four boots on ground. Good read about shipping, economy, if you care to read the "back story" https://www.wbez.org/shows/curious-city/mystery-boat-alone-and-idle-in-waterlogged-corner-of-chicago/7833e5d2-0936-46c3-b68b-3d3da75acde8 "...Overall, the shipping industry is still relatively active, but the Port of Chicago is not the economic engine it once was. According to a 2011 report, the most recent data available, the Port generates nearly 2,700 jobs, 25 percent less than it did nearly a decade prior. And the jobs the Port creates indirectly have dropped by 22 percent over the same period. Industry-wide, shipping on the Great Lakes faces headwinds, due to the phasing out of coal and a steel industry that has yet to return to its pre-Recession peak. “It’s an industry that will never die. But it will never get better,” Hansen said. “It just gets smaller and smaller and smaller. As we lose our steel. As we lose our cement. As we lose our coal.” Still, marine transport is the most economic way to get cargo from one place to another — far cheaper than trucking and even rail. But a struggling manufacturing sector mixed with low commodity prices, means ships like the C.T.C. No. 1 are left waiting in the wings, stuck in a kind of limbo where they’re too valuable to ditch, but not useful enough to repair. ..."

Welch's Concord Grape & creamy as a kid. Super chunky today Goober grape right out of the jar now. No carbs. LoL.. People with superior immune systems. LoL... How the world has not really changed, the weak and allergic are still calling the strong: "Peasants." /smh

Thats recent.

Not born till 4 years 7 months later. But my sister was 4 months old.

Today production is outpacing pay by ~8%... Even as I chat on my phone via a message board, with one eye looking out and an ear to the ground listening for the bossman. Is it 4 o'clock yet?, so that pencil-pusher can go home. ? CC: @BringBackFergy @Cripple Creek (My two biggest skeptics and eternal foils.)

What's NOT made in China, consumer goods that is?

"They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes They called me fatso, they called me buckwheat They called me Eddie..." Actually, my father called me: Chico when I was a small boy. I wonder if he knew it meant "small boy" in Spanish or because I looked like Freddie Prinze? I am not a "Francisco."

What did Jackie Robinson do? Smash a racist with a bat?

Is this a paid testimonial? IF so, by law you have to disclose it. LoL...

I will see you that J.Allen .gif & raise you. Flossing JA: This will be his SuperBowl TD celebration when he scores 5 rushing TDs for the game... BUT only throws for a Buck-98 and rushes for 101 yards. Put that 299 yards all purpose yards in your pipe, haters! CC: @Gugny (Because he cares!)

Deducting his Gas-X bill as a major write off! Hey, that's believable.

Intent is part of the law. "Scienter": Intent or knowledge of wrongdoing.

Yeah... True. Then she will toot one and she'll think it's the most hysterical (I use that word in a totally egalitarian and non-sexist way!) comedic event since the The Three Stooges! Probably why it's so funny: Female Farts Smell Worse than Male Farts & 6 Facts YOU Need to Know About Farts

This too. I got Wife and I cellphone numbers 20+ years ago. The last 4 numbers of those are same as last 4 of landline. The exchange* is just first number different. I am on the "3", she's on the "5." Landline has local area exchange first three numbers. *Exchange is NOT area code. Not last 4... But middle 3 or so I always thought going back to named exchanges. My inlaws are in 80s... That's all they really know is our landline, but MiL is starting to call the cells...

Don't get me started Mister! What are you implying!? ?? Working previously as a concrete company foreman in New Jersey is a prefectly appropriate credential for becoming an NFL ref! Wasn't he on that Giants Stadium job 40+ years ago? ?????

Want E-Lighting?

How do cells work with 911 systems? Are VOIPs handling them properly now? Once again... Safety. A landline is 24 volts. How do you charge your cellphone in case of an emergency. Landline can provide emergency power:

There's always one in the crowd. Heres a little tactic you can use:

Cellphone you can block the # and at times your carrier will recognize it as high volume spammer, spoofer. But... A blocked call will still appear as blocked in your notifications tray. Or, in the log.

Dorothy, you're NOT in Kansas anymore...

Because... Safety. Everybody is cutting cord, that means "all cell circuits will be jammed in the event of emergency or disaster." Landlines will be less stressed. My new landline cordless phones block 2,000. And had Bluetooth... So cellphones (up to two) will ring thru on my landline cordless... Or dial out. Put the cell pn charge and use cordless landline.

I did that with my Son's iPhone in on a ski slope a bunch of years back. What an idiot, kids, taking things for granted. Zipper the damn pocket... Ski upright! Then... We are lift and some other girl is calling her dad saying she lost her debit card. WTF... Is this what privileged looks like in the 2010s? How about zero fail... Don't lose your shi... Nail, tack it, strap it down! Watch, I'll lose my phone tomorrow. Old neighbor lady was in a panic a bunch of weeks back, she left her iPhone on top of her sister's are before going to church. Baby Jesus with the help of GPS found it, albeit cracked screen, on the road. LoL...
