    B&M’s in Fort Leonard Wood MO...???

    Didn’t really know where to post this one but here goes... does anyone know of any b&m’s in/near Fort Leonard Wood MO?

    Final update on Dads & Birthdays... I hope.

    So my Dad didn't have cancer. We found out it's Sarcoydosis. An infection that has no cure, never goes away and causes many different symptoms, but simulates cancer in x-rays. So yay!!! No cancer for Dad. My anniversary is on the 19th and kid turns 2 on the 25th this month. I'm struggling with...

    Update on Dads & Birthdays...

    So I got a call from my Dad while I was at work, couldn't answer my phone so he left a voice mail. He got the results from his biopsy. The oncolagists were wrong! It's not cancer. The results said an infection in his lungs... nothing a heavy dose of antibiotics won't cure! :) I'm extatic about...

    Dads & birthdays

    Just found out last nite that my Dad has cancer. The doc says we caught it really early so they have high hopes of beating it. My Dad is a fighter and he's trying to stay upbeat about it. I'm trying to mirror his attitude and not bring him down about it but the truth is I'm terrified. I still...

    Sacramento CA public transportation & pipe smoking...

    Just saw a sign at the lightrail station this evening, watt & i80 for those local to my area, that smoking will no longer be allowed at, in, or around ANY Regional Transit stops or stations. It doesn't matter if its a openaired bench or just a bus stop sign either! Stupid RT says I can't smoke...

    Peterson's Sherlock Holmes ...

    Hey guys, I'm planning my next purchase 3months in advance. I got a really good deal on some mason jars. I'm very fond of Peterson's Sherlock Holmes. I'm looking for it or something very similar in bulk. I've checked on 4noggins and my local B&M won't tell me who makes their bulk Holmes mix. Any...

    DIY Pipe stain

    Hey guys, can any of you recommend good sites for pipe stain or leather dye? I'm having trouble locating a B&M that sells in my area and I'm unimpressed with the selection on Amazon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Handlebar mustache

    A friend of mine had a really nice handlebar mustache that he kept very well groomed. His manager at his place of employment told him that waxing his stash was unprofessional and that he could keep it and his job if he stopped waxing and curling the ends. Instead of threatening legal...

    My kids first birthday!

    I can hardly believe my son turns 1yr old on April 25th! People see him and they think I'm lying to them, his shoe size is 18 - 24months! At six months old, he was in nine month clothes! I'm only 5'10" and taller than my wife, so he's gotta be getting it from my side of the family (all my uncles...

    A new way to fund my TAD/PAD!!!

    Here in Sacramento, it is illegal to sell your blood. But it is not illegal to sell your blood plasma. A coworker told me he does it at a clinic and they give him 25 bucks a draw. They say you can do it 2 times a week. That's an extra $200 a month! My cellar will be growing soon! Now if I can...
