Geico cavemen !
Love those cavemen commercials! 
Geico cavemen and any car commercial (nm)

Green in the wallet is a good thing
I don't like the color green at all so I have no green clothes whatsoever.
Not intending to be racist, but have noticed in our area Sonic Drive Ins (sm)
are now being purchased by Indians and immediately all the poles around the building are being painted green. This is not one but 3 different ones in 3 different towns that I have noticed. I suppose the green signifies something. We live in a relatively small town and now the only motel in town is owned by Indians, 1 of our 4 gas stations/convenience stores is also owned by Indians. Now the Sonic, which is one of 3 drive through restaurants.
Eventually we won't have to worry about our MT working going to India, they can just do it from right here.
Cavemen
I never understood the appeal of those ads.
If they are Cavemen, why are they speaking English, or any language, why do they have apposable thumbs, visit therapists, wear clothes, fly in airplanes, and why do they NOT live in caves?
The first time I saw the ad, I thought, this will be pulled, it's the stupidest thing I've seen in years - yet, the commercials keep coming.
Hate that gecko. But I also hate Jared with those Subway commercials.
I remember when commercials used to be entertaining and cute. Now, maybe one in 40 commercials is cute. Maybe I'm just old and crabby.
With Geico...
We have Geico...we also have a 19 YO son living with us, with his own car and insurance. As long as they have a benefit statement from his insurance company, he doesn't have to be on ours.. Check them out, they're very reasonable and paid the one claim we had very quickly! good luck...
I like the cavemen, too.
My mother's calling. I'll put her on speaker. 
Love the cavemen!
My favorite is when he is with his therapist. My kids walk around saying shmart all the time.
Geico lizard and
the prehistoric cavemen.
You've seen cavemen on TV? There ya go.
s
GEICO, Progressive, or Mercury
State Farm is one of the most expensive, I do believe and definitely the ones who NEVER came through for many Hurricane Katrina victims.....all over the news back then..........
The neanderthal guys for GEICO!!
It is so dumb and I cannot believe they are going to try to make a sitcom out of them!!
Generally never, but I am tiny -- sm
AA and A - only sag a little on the A side. Much more comfortable without, but do wear one when necessary (i.e. white shirt, dress, etc.)
We like to go mid-July generally - sm
that way it is not right after they got out of school and it breaks up the summer. I also take them on my own up to my dad's for a few days at the end of June and again in August; going again up there last week in August as I am too busy to go earlier.
Anyone else sick of the Geico caveman commercials?
Getting OOOOOOOLD!!
The "big whoop" is generally...
missed by those who only focus on low prices and fail to notice the impact Wal-Mart has on its neighborhoods, the environment in general, its suppliers, the economy, etc.
Someone above posted a good link which explains the "big whoop."
I wish more people educated themselves before deciding whether or not to shop there. For me, it's not enough to simply have the lowest price.
I think your view does not generally match
up with most.. She looks like a real gold-digger to me. What about others out there?
Steroids generally do not work for
FMS type pain as it is not inflammatory. In fact, steroids made me WAY worse! I'm sure everyone does not have the reaction of making them way worse, but most people with actual FMS do not get relief from steroids. Botox is said to help, although I refuse it because it's not only expensive but is poison (something about that just gets me, LOL).
Narcotics can be wonderful and give you your life back if you have constant pain that doesn't go up and down (as far as the time-released meds go). I was on OxyContin at one time, but I had bad side effects to it, severe drenching sweats and it really didn't do much for my pain as I couldn't raise the dose enough to do much. I have been on multiple different narcotics until I found the right one. I have tried methadone, OxyContin, Kadian, and now I am on a fentanyl patch with breakthrough oxycodone (which for some reason doesn't have the same side effects as the OxyContin did, probably because it's not time released). At any rate, it took a while to find the right drug, but the Fentanyl has been the best fit for me.
It just takes time to find the right med and then the right dose of that med, but hang in there. If one doesn't work, there are a lot of more that can be tried. I will say this, not a single one of the meds that I tried gave made me too tired or "out of it." You don't get a high feeling from it or way too fatigued as long as you do have severe pain. It just takes some of the pain away. In fact, I feel LESS fatigue on the medications since just being in constant pain is exhausting. Once some of the pain is taken away, you will not believe the difference.
Good luck to you and anyone else suffering with chronic pain. Although they can't take it all away, they can make your quality of life much better! I have been on long-term opioid therapy for a long time and have suffered with chronic pain since I was around 20 at least. Feel free to post again or e-mail me if you have any questions. 
we generally give $4, my DH usually tips 20% - sm
everywhere we go, also for pickup orders as well which I am sure most people don't do but should do something (I do 10-15% when I pick it up, depends on the place).
I don't feed sea gulls. It's generally a bad idea.
It's not a good idea to interfere with the feeding habits of any wild animal, and they are wild. They may be very accustomed to having human food, but it's still not right to feed them. The birds do become accustomed to humans as their source of food, and that will encourage them to fly too close to humans. Then, they'll become a nuisance. Do check for signs or other information in the area about feeding the wildlife. I know that in my area, more and more signs are being posted.
That being said, it's also not right for someone to use such language, especially in front of children, or for anyone to throw sand at you. So, I think the other woman's reaction was out of line.
Next time you go to the beach, bring sand toys and leave the bird food at home.
I sort of agree, but generally those kind of men don't

Trolls like this generally are very unhappy people.......... sm
the problem is they don't realize it. She obviously does need people in her life, as evidenced by her posting on this board.
I can't stand the Gieco cpmmercial with the cavemen. They are now getting a sitcom. Go figure. n
!
I liked the green guy the way he used to be
I don't like him now. I can barely understand him. I really hated that commercial recently as I was shopping for car insurance. I walked into an agency and asked if they could save me money on car insurance (green man popped into my head although it wasn't a Geico agency). They did. I was paying $1500 per 6 months with my old one (again, not Geico) and with the new one I am paying like $700. Boy, I was a happy camper. I called my MIL and said I have got good news, we are going to save over 50% in car insurance. Again, that green man popped into my head.
Green olives here too!
What's really, really good is a cheeseburger with grilled onions, tomato, and green olives on it.
I could eat that every day. :-)
Ha! I got to see a green snake
in my yard once. It was the kind that climbs, and was in an azalea bush. I had no idea we had green snakes here in NC until I saw that one.
green onions
The patient may be mentally unbalanced. Certainly sounds like it.
Green and red chili!!!
In my opinion there's not much that can't be made better by the addition of green or red chili. I cook pinto beans with lots of green chili and bacon bits with a bunch of spices and they are sooooo good. And the combination of potatoes and red chili to me is just one of the best things ever.
Is the green stem from the strawberry...

Green eyed monster
I posted a while back about a woman who was divorced sat down at a football game with dh. I was at home working. Anyway, dh told me about it and he said he did not ask her she just sat there and they enjoyed the game together. I said okay. Anyway, 6 months later dh asked her if she was willing to lease out that 10 acres of land that she has so he can plant hay. She said he could. He did ask me if I was okay with it. I said I was. Well dh went to pay her first months rent and boy did she ever give him the old sob story about how her ex was. She also tells him that several men, married men, have been out there coming to call. She turned them all down because all she wants to do is raise her kids and ride horses.
The only man I ever really chased was dh and I was pretty cut and dry with that. Most the time I admired men at a distance. I have ran around with some pretty wild girls and they would give their potentials a sob story about how awful life is just to play on sympathy then they would brag about how every man in the world “wanted” them. Is this what this girl is doing? Trying to play on DH sympathy and then telling him she is a catch of the town.
I do know my dh. He is more likely to run off with a tractor then he is with another woman. I can almost 100% guarantee it. There is always a slight possibility I could be wrong but who knows.
Another thing that worries me, is if this gal really is flirting and dh doesn’t want to “join her circus of men coming to call” is she going to run him off the property after he put all that work and money into it.
I don’t know why I worry so much. She probably is just one that likes to talk, it could be innocent.
Green-eyed monster
My husband was an attorney who would come home at night and tell me about how his secretary would flirt and carryon with him. He had little derogatory names for her. She had sad stories for him as well, about raising three young daughters on her own, etc. When I was in the hospital for emergency major surgery she even offered to take care of our home and make him dinner, etc. I wasn't jealous at all, but I did warn my husband to be careful of her and the situation. Long story short ... they had an affair, our marriage was over, and I lost everything. (He's since married and divorced from the secretary.)
Just because your husband shares with you about his time spent with this woman does not mean he is or is not having/or will have a relationship with her. The man I am with now would never dream of spending any amount of time for any reason with a single woman without me along with him ... not because I have asked, but because he believes this is the right way to show respect and love for me.
Jealousy isn't that great, but being smart is. Some men with really good hearts can be kind of naive. Just something to think about. Your DH sounds like a good person.
Went semi-green with car purchase
We traded in my minivan (which was getting about 16 mpg) for a slightly used Yaris. They get 40 mpg and my car payment will drop significantly. They rate very well with Consumer Reports for reliability, etc. My sister has one and only has to fill the tank once every 2 months.
Back when we got the van we had plenty of money and the economy was fine. These days, with work changes and gas prices, it should be a big help to be out from under that expense. Plus I have a nearly new car (5,000 miles). It is silver mica color, the sedan model. The little 2-door hatchbacks are adorable, but you can't find them anywhere for some reason.
My rule if not green and fuzzy it is okay. EXCEPT

Is anybody wearing green today?
 I forgot, but when my kid tried to pinch me (oh brother), we realized I had a green coffee cup and some green lines in my shirt. HA. So, do you care about this green stuff? Frankly I care about the green in my wallet, so I am typing more than thinking about green beer today. LOL. Happy St. Patty's Day! (green face icon)
I could have sworn I saw one for a Green Card
-- I think this dude needs one!
That's often a great way to get your green thumb on. sm
I did it for a couple of years in Minneapolis (and I lived in the middle of "Concreteville" downtown). A grassroots (no pun intended) organization got a local company to donate (temporarily) their vacant lot next door, just outside of the downtown area, and the organization collected some ridiculously small fee from each gardener (like $15 or something) for the season, and then we each had a small (8' x 10' ?) plot to do with as we wished. It was fenced in, and locked (we had the combination) just to keep our produce from being stolen, and the plot was just a short bike ride away for me.
It's a great way to meet others in the community, as well. I'd be surprised if your city doesn't already have one in place, if not a number of them. I'd suggest calling one of the food co-ops (as I don't know how one would find the plots otherwise unless one stumbled across a notice about them), and they likely will know of such efforts near you.
Ro*Tel -- diced tomatoes & green chilies
Ro-Tel is similar to canned stewed tomatoes. In times past, it was marketed mainly in the southern states, originating in Texas.

I lived with dark green paneling for almost 20 yrs in the
living room then finally took the plunge. It took a coat of primer and 2 coats of the light colored paint I wanted, but it was so worth it. I took before, during and after pictures and the difference it made is unbelievable.
my fave too...along with Fried Green Tomatoes
I personally think green onions have a bit stronger
oniony flavor than a shallot, but still very close. It is very easy to substitute any of the veggies in the onion family for another, except chives. A bit more of a different flavor than the green from green onions. IMO chives are more of an herb than a veggie. Could be totally wrong, would love to hear other opinions as well.
my favorite, I think, is the little green round onions .....
that that you see topping soups or like that topping the Taco Bell Nacho Supreme. I think I love them all but those are my favorite.
why on god's green earth are 8 jumbo crayons
a pack of 8 regular sized crayons is 2 for $1. I can get a pack of TWENTY FOUR crayons for 17 cents. But a pack of 8 large sized is $1.50 a pack at the cheapest. I found them at winn dixie for 2.99 a pack. I need 2 packs. Six dollars for 16 crayons?? That's highway robbery...geez
I'm glad you liked it!! To me there is not much that can't be made better by adding green chi

shread it up, add some green chiles and diced tomatoes
and freeze for burritos or machaca beef later on...uumm good
The yucky green stuff is back today
Along with very painful sinus pressure and throbbing. Guess it is sinuses after all.
I rested all day today and I was going to go out to dinner but just taking a shower tired me out so much I couldn't do anything else. Of course, I hadn't eaten anything all day, but still....tired of this!!
Thanks for listening, y'all. I'll quit whining now. 
I've quadrupled it! Look up Green bean casserole....
and make sure to have a happy, happy Thanksgiving!! Yummmmm my favorite veggie dish you're making....yummm yummmm *laughs*
ENJOY!! 
Not to butt in but what's great about green bean casserole?
I made it once and it went in the garbage. It was horrible. Every year I tell hubby I'm going to try it again (jokingly of course) and he always says "The h--- you will!!!"
So much for that.
I agree! I have my sponge bob green desktop background
today. Also love that green beer! PS: Spongebob is dressed in green on my desktop, so that counts for me. LOL.
Add green chili and some cheese, and I'd have died and gone to heaven! nm

That tator tot-green been casserole runs in our veins here in MN. nm
