Aussie Bruin related the unfortunate tale of Cocaine Bear further back in this thread.

I figured, lol. No way some other fan didn’t spot this first.

I hope they called him Pablo Escobear

I know I’m getting old because that pun made me laugh.

Aussie related same after another poster mentioned the "meth bear," a phrase and its origin I had never encountered. And I recall those patches on either arm, because I had a Cam Neely home white jersey back in the early 90s.

couple more issues out there:

Mystic Seaport under fire and virtually destroyed;

Mauna Loa Volcano erupting in Hawai'i

This is not accurate- it is a marina in Mystic, not the Mystic Seaport:

Thank you for clarifying. You should have heard the discussion between my mom and I this morning lol.

I finally had to put in the address of sift bakery and the fire to show her where it was. Sift is ok as are all of the Water Street stores but they are directly across the water from the fire.

Have they said what caused it?

This amoxicillian shortage is getting scary now. My 1 year old niece has a double ear infection and CVS has none. So she can't fill her prescription. Just extremely frustrating.

Calling around to see if any pharmacy can fill it/hass it.

These poor kids.

I bowled in leagues at Lucky Strike when i was just 6-7 years old. Then when the fam moved to the south shore i joined up at Timber Lanes in Abington, and bowled in leagues until i was 13ish. My average always hovered 78-82, and there was always one kid who had me beat by a half pin. I was always #2 every week, every year. Still remember his name too!

From what i remember, it was $2 a week paid cash every Saturday. They would come around with a little box and check everybody off. Very unofficial. Bowling is far more expensive now.

I went to Catholic school and every Monday we got out at 12 to make room for the public school kids' CCD. We'd go bowling in Roslindale Sq for 40c a string. I think the shoes were free. My pal had a 90 or so average,so always beating me,maddening.

Penicillin is the next option

It should be. But she's allergic unfortunately.

So it's a mess either way.

I thought they were broad spectrum.

The fire not only got the marina, it got several boats & a nearby house. Shifting winds made it hard for the firefighters. No cause determined yet

A car drove into a fireworks store in my area tonight. The result was what you would expect.

I thought they were broad spectrum.

Same family but work better against certain bugs. Amox is more broad efficacy and more easily tolerated. Dont know exactly why. Id have to ask my pharmacist son but he’s not around.

 

[Mione134]

Costco?

Trying everything! CVS is out of stock. Trying Walgreens. Walmart. Rite Aid. Etc

But we need a referral from the doctor for the others it's a nightmare. Apparently there's a shortage in Canada too. These poor babies. I feel so bad for my niece. Like, what do you do in the meantime? Just trying to keep her comfortable.

Hoping to hear from her doctor tomorrow on what to do next.

90 is damn good as it’s just difficult to sustain. I would crack 100 here and there but the average is the average. Always around 80.

Then again, the league i was in scored pins above average, so kids would just throw the first few weeks and start with an average of 60. Suddenly week 1 they post 40 pins over average for the day.

Sadly the driver died The store employees were able to escape uninjured

They believe the driver had some sort of medical episode. The car hit and pushed another car through the intersection and into a pole (the white pickup truck on the left, in the video i posted) before hitting the store.
There was a another trailer full of fireworks right behind the store. I think they were able to prevent it from going up.
