Disney is cool once every 10 years or so, maybe less. Knoebels is only a few hours away and it is a far far superior park for pennies on the dollar.
I’ll have to keep that one in mind. We ventured that way last summer so i know the kids can make the drive. Hershey i think is out there as well.

There isn’t a man alive who has done more than me.

Aside from the home deal, I worked direct care in a residential program for kids for 15 years.

15 Boys in my unit = at least 6 full loads per day.

3-4 shifts a week x 15 years = a whole lot of laundry
I’m impressed!

This was the same idiot who tried the skydiver airplane swap in mid-air a few months ago and caused a crash....

There will always be a market for this kind of stuff, and there will always be a few crazies willing to try it. People have been enthralled by death-defying activities since Roman times.

In general I don't have a massive issue with it, but when a guy like Aikins has a wife and child, as he does, then I think that's problematic. The partner can consent to it, but the child cannot. Risking depriving a youngster of a parent for no good reason strikes me as unethical.

In their first game of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., Middleboro withstood a 2 hour 25 minute rain delay but suffered a 5-3 loss to Nolensville, Tenn., at Howard J. Lamade Stadium.

Makes sense. I have all of my wisdom teeth (not that it's helped me at all, as I'm still not very bright) and my litmus test for a dentist is if they see them and say we need to remove them, despite me having zero issues with them. If a dentist I'm seeing says that, I find a new dentist. Sadly, more often than not, they try to get me to have them pulled, and it seems needless and like a scam to me. If they started giving me issues, I'd have no problem pulling them, but I won't consider it until then.
Yup, when I was 17 my dentist (15 years ago) tried to get me to make an appointment to get them removed.. I refused and said no at the time. 32 now and they all grew in fine. I understand a lot of times they grow in impacted, but it's kind of a scam.

Since Sunday night i haven’t eaten right due to the wisdom teeth removal. I’ve survived with water, a disgusting smoothie, nasty ass Greek yogurts, and instant potatoes. Today i was able to gum some shredded pulled pork leftovers for lunch, and then I felt brave and had a whole box of cheddar bacon mac for dinner.

It was one of the most satisfying meals i have ever had, and I hate Mac and cheese

Went out to the backyard and my dragonfruit plants' flowers are starting to bloom. Pretty awesome to watch.



The part about Mr. T is still the funniest thing I've ever seen. Though I can't link it here because it absolutely is not politically correct in the year 2022.

Murphy pushed the envelope - 1984



and did it again in 2019

I had 2 impacted wisdom teeth and 2 partially through - two dentists told me different things - have them out when you are younger, it will be easier, the other said leave them because they may never both you. When I was about 35 years old I began to get repeated infections, so it became necessary to have one removed but I chose to get them all done since I am terrified of dentistry, so got put under and had them all out. It is hard to know what might happen with them but I still agree to wait unless they give you trouble. Repeated antibiotics were not a good thing for me so I took the leap.

As are braces. Growing up i remember maybe 1 person in school wearing braces,now it's nearly everyone-at $8000 a pop.

Had mine done in the Navy,woke up one morning with an awful throbbing and swelling,we were in the Med Sea off of Greece. The ship's helicopter flew me to the USS Nimitz where they yanked them,chipping a front tooth as well. After the extraction,one of the Nimitz' helicopter flew me back to my ship which had left its anchorage. I remember them following the wake a few miles to find the ship.

I got a 4.0 for my summer class :)

Excel is no joke but if anyone is looking for a reference book I highly recommend The Shelley Cashman Series Microsoft Office 365 Excel 2019.

It's a little pricey especially with the supplement but it is concise and goes through everything step by step.

Thanks!

Everything is step by step and includes pictures. The exercises are lengthy but at the end of it, you definitely come out knowing how to do things.

I rented mine which goes towards the price to purchase it in December.

Amazon has it for $95.89 for a new book which means you'd get the supplements which you do need for certain chapters. The supplements have all the data you will be using to perform all the exercises.
