OT - NO POLITICS The Dog Days of Summer continue

[RoccoF14]

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.

Same here. I was born without my lower ones, and my upper ones came in just fine. Whenever I go to a new Dentist, the first thing they ask me is when I'm going to have them removed. I always tell them that they aren't hurting anybody, I'm keeping them clean and I like them right where they are. Its never been an issue for me.

Glad my parents listened to me last week. Pass this Pizza place coming home from work and suggested we tried it. Better than the one we were going to.

Greek/Italian. Reminds me of Christos in Brockton. Wonder if theyre still around

The place in Brockton closed. They do have a 'Christos to go' in Whitman.

A few Ground Rounds are still around, but none in MA. The 99 still has a lot of locations..

Grew up running around FOURs Boston. I remember playing with those old cig machines all the time. Them closing hurt.

Ground round was my families favorite when I was younger. You only paid your kids weight or something and I was a really skinny child.

Mass has changed so much dont think ill ever move back. Hoping when my girl finally here we can work and save the next 25+ and retire in Hawaii.

This is more than a confused driver. She got into the mall and then some.

She managed to get through all the doors with minimal damage.

I'm stunned to be honest.


Edit: She drove over the pedestrian bridge that connects the garage to the mall AND through the automatic doors

You can't make this up - The T put up signs downtown with the WRONG start date of the shutdown.

Well, we won our first playoff game in my 43+ Men's Baseball League on Monday night, 17-5. Opposing team protested that we used illegal players and the league DQ'd us and we are out. Complete bullshit. Come to find out that we didn't submit our regular season stats correctly, and the stats we did submit weren't recorded by the league correctly. We were partially at fault, but so was the league. In our league, you have to have a minimum number of regular season at bats, or innings pitched to qualify to play in the playoffs. All of our players met the minimums, they just weren't recorded correctly.

The real kicker is that the team that protested our win, ended up forfeiting the next playoff game because a bunch of the guys on that team didn't want to win that way and didn't bother to show up.

What a dumpster fire. Either way, my season is over. I ended up tearing my Plantar Fascia during the game and am out 10-12 weeks anyway. Totally worth it though........I love playing this game, even if my 54yr old body has other ideas.

Yeah, I'm a Baller.....LOL.

We used to go to the ground round in Cleveland Circle all the time. So many memories

actually, the company went employee owned, based in Freeport.... The only 2 that remain are Bangor and Hallowell (and that's inside another business.... all corporate owned were shuttered in 2004.... Margarita's replaced the one here in Auburn....

Ground Round hasn't been the same since the incident back in the 80s which led to Dukakis' happy hour ban.

Tuukka knows how to party, and so does his PM.

Finland PM Marin Sanna denies taking drugs after wild video leaked

The 36-year-old world leader is in high spirits in the video, which appears to take place in a private apartment, as the group cavorts and dances for a mobile phone camera.

Went to the GR on Soldier's Field Road many times during my MIT days, and before that the GR near Alewife, often on the way from Vermont to Fenway Park.

Just got back to the hotel after renting scooters for an hour and a half and tooling around DC.

Beautiful weather and the city is amazing at night.

Can‘t recommend sight seeing the city this way enough.

Lots of fun!

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.

Congratulations!!!

I may have to get that book I can’t figure out Excel to save my life.

I'm a bit of an Excel geek. The day I learned pivot tables I was a happy camper.

It's actually ridiculous the amount of things it can do. Most people probably only use maybe ten percent of its full capacity lol. I can't imagine the brain power that went into creating it. But then again, as I like to say, if the world was up to me, the wheel wouldn't have been invented yet lol.

Yeah, there's so much stuff I run into that I had no idea you could even do with excel. But now if I have to do something complicated I just google "how to...in excel" and usually can find a tutorial. Like last week I learned how to make an entire column of positive numbers negative with a paste special command instead of having to copy it, drag it aside, multiply by negative one, and drag it back to the original column. Makes reimbursement import batches so much easier. Also taught myself to format cells to automatically change color if they're a certain value or if it's a date reaching its expiration, etc. I've been shown pivot tables before too, they're pretty useful from what I see.

I'm sure there's so much more that would make life easier that I just don't know about yet.
