Anybody ever get a catch in their jaw? The right side of my jaw has been hurting like a bitch for the last 3 or 4 days. No idea why or when it started. Any movement at all hurts. Yawns kill me, as does chewing.
Did you try to stifle a yawn or something? I did that at church like 10 years ago and it popped and hurt for a while.

check it from the sizzource:
76 percent of samples bought at groceries had all the pollen removed, These were stores like TOP Food, Safeway, Giant Eagle, QFC, Kroger, Metro Market, Harris Teeter, A&P, Stop & Shop and King Soopers.
Just flew in from Tampa Fl last night. But according to BoA, I skipped Atlanta and went to New York and got an $84 cab ride At least they caught it and I'm getting that back in my account.
BTW- Tampa seemed pretty cool, at least the bit I drove around on Sunday. Saturday was spent at Sebring for the race. Yeah, Sebring 12 Hours....I honestly did not expect it to be spring break in Panama City without the beach and instead a race track. What a damn circus. There seemed do be a large number of people who were clearly not there for any racing. Saw a lot of REALLY ugy and fat people. I don't know if I'd go back to watch a race in person there again.
Ate lunch at an oddly-named Sally O'Neal's Pizza Hotline after driving around downtown, seeing Bayshore Blvd and the historic Ybor area.
So can someone from the area please fill me in on the random people wearing yellow vests that were at many intersections doing random things? Is it like a "thing" to occupy a median at a large intersection an peddle your wears? At first I thought it was a charity thing when I saw these people. But as I payed more attention, I noticed they were all doing different things. The best was an old man dancing around like crazy with a cane. Guy was just rocking the f*k out like there was no tomorrow. He tied his shirt into what looked like a bikini top and was using the cane as a guitar. I have not laughed so hard in a long time. Hell, I would have tossed him some cash if I was on that side of the road just for the entertainment he was providing.

Why craigslist sucks.
-Get a email from a guy wanting to buy my trash, he said he was interested and I asked him when he could come over and see them, he said "I just got out of church and today is family day, it'll have to be tomorrow" I said ok, only to have him back out today despite me telling him I had a ---- load of other people that wanted to see the wheels (truth, I've had like 6 people contact me in a day. If nobody comes by today the price goes up.)
-People who come by to buy whatever your selling and don't bring the agreed upon amount of money. Example: My bro sold an amp on CL and the guy that came to buy it brought like $10-$15 less then the agreed upon price. This pisses me the *** off to no goddamn end. If it happens today I will turn people away.
-People who ask for the "cash price" and expect you to accept a lower offer. I'M ONLY TAKING CASH FOR MY CHEEP WHEELS, THAT IS THE CASH PRICE. This goes if I'm selling something for $20 or $4000.

Whenever I have someone coming to meet in person for a sale (cash), I always tell them to bring the full amount cause I'd hate for them to make the drive and go home empty handed.
If I'm going to strike a deal it'll be beforehand, not on the spot in person after we already agreed on a price.

Beck/Arnley SUCKS!
Had to rebuild the rear calipers, because the parking brake was freezing up. Needs inspection, so it had to be done. Order a rebuild kit from Rockauto.com. So far so good.
Finally get the caliper apart (who the hell designed that hidden snap ring in the bore?), and start to clean up the parts. Only to find that the Beck/Arnley kit doesn't include the seals for the parking brake lever, even though the pictures clearly show the seals.
An email to the customer service address has not been answered. So, I can buy chinese made **** from B/A, and pay more, or I can buy the budget priced brand (also made in china), but at least not pay premium price for missing parts. Screw you.
You morons put a customer service email on your website, you damn well better at least send me a form letter. No reply means you don't value my business, so you will no longer get it.

Just found a Rolex in a box I've been waiting to sift through for months. I knew the watch was in there, but I had no idea it was a ------- Rolex!
Looks like it's price range is anywhere from $400-$1000ish. I'm debating taking it to have it cleaned and looked at or just selling it as is.
Not my taste so keeping it is a negative.

Yeah, the market for Rolexes has softened a bit just like any other high-end luxury item, but it's still a Rolex...the market never softens that much.
Just be careful if you go to an official Rolex dealer and they suggest that you send it in to Rolex for servicing...that can cost quite a bit.

Given the price range you listed, I'm guessing it's an Air King? The market for the lower-end of the Rolex spectrum is FLOODED at the moment. I've seen mint Air Kings bring less than $1k.
Vash, please post pics of the watch in question. If you have the box and the usual literature that accompanies a new Rolex, you'll likely fetch a little bit more.
