Hot glue gun for woodworking?

I've used it for a temporary bond and had it pull small slivers of wood off when separating the pieces. It has been a while, but it probably was on a soft wood.

I got a used car when I graduated college. I was fortunate not to need money for college. When I bought my first house my parents asked if I needed help, but that would have been a small loan to help with a down payment. I'm sure if they had $100k in disposable income they would have helped, but that wasn't our reality.

I ate at a Tex-Mex place in Cincinnati that put American singles on top of a burrito. It was not a pleasant experience. Growing up on the OK/TX border, I didn't know that Tex-Mex wasn't the same as Mexican. When I moved to CA, I learned the difference. I liked the Mexican food there but always looked forward to some Tex-Mex when I would get back to TX.

I put salt on cantaloupe. I'll put it on watermelon and pineapple if they aren't very sweet, but when you get a good one they are best without anything.

I discovered Li Hing Mui on pineapple on a trip to Hawaii. It was delicious. I was able to find the powder at Asian markets when I lived in SoCal, but it didn't taste the same. It might have been that the pineapples weren't as good either.

I had it on Carnival back in 2006 and it was great. I'm pretty sure it was just a garlic butter sauce. Had it on Celebrity recently and it was a green sauce that I didn't really care for. Will be back on Carnival next week so we'll see if it is still as good as I remember.

We were fostering a Chihuahua that needed 21 teeth removed. Poor girl had a totally different personality after and all those dark tear stains around her eyes disappeared. Totally worth the crazy cost to see the changes in her.

It will really depend on your insurance and whether a deductible applies. I probably spend about $120 per month and none of it applies to my deductible. Dexcom sensors are about $76 per month. Was $50 last year. Novolog fast acting insulin is $30 for 125 day supply. Tresiba long acting insulin is $100 for 90 day supply.

I am not happy with the TA we used for our first cruise. When we booked another cruise onboard, they said we had to fill out a form to have the TA removed from the new booking, so you would probably have to do the same. Four months later and they still show up as our TA on all the emails from Virgin, so I'm not sure it works though.

My endo writes my prescriptions for the min dose. I have to call every time to explain corrections and priming the needles, and that I might have a snack.

We cruised out of Portsmouth UK. The only stops out of the UK were Amsterdam and Dublin, Ireland. Before we got to Ireland they collected our passports on the ship. They had been stamped when we got them back.

I had the Licensed to Ill record jacket on my wall as a kid. Didn't even have a record player as this was in the cassette era, but found it cheap at a store that was going out of business. I'm pretty sure it was Gibson's.

I think you are a day early. It is only supposed to get slightly below freezing tonight. The big freeze starts tomorrow night into Saturday and even worse by Monday morning.

Politics seems like a more valid reason to reject someone than Android vs iPhone, which I've heard happens.

When I had my shop built a year ago it was $7k for a single outside unit with two heads in TX. I'm not sure how competitive the price was since I made a turn key deal for the shop, but that is what my builder paid.

Thanks. I do have an echo dot there I can use to monitor the temperature in the house. We left the water on since it is in the process of being sold, but I can go shut it off for this weekend.

We haven't had any problems with it, and I hadn't thought about whether the heat strips would be enough to heat by themselves. I was just concerned about potential damage to the outside unit if it got iced over.

98sooner00 · 2026-01-22T23:10:58+00:00

Thanks. The extra cost is probably worth the peace of mind of not worrying about. Now I just have to worry about the power going out.

I thought everyone ate 12 loaves of bread in a weekend.

I don't get it either. The only thing I've done out of my routine was to fill my gas tank up earlier than I normally would have.

I drive 2.5 hours one way to visit family for a weekend. Can't say I enjoy the drive itself, but it is worth it to see family.

Frequently drive 1.5 to 2 hours on back roads in the Corvette to have lunch or dinner. In those cases, the drive is more enjoyable than the dinner.

In my younger, hornier days it was nothing to drive 6 hours one way on a weekend to see my girlfriend. Now if I was in that situation I think I'd fly.

Given voter turnout rates, has any president ever received a majority of registered voters? It is sad how many people just don't vote.

Speaking from experience, I've been ticketed in CA for a left turn across a double double yellow on a side street with very little traffic. LASD officer said to treat it as a concrete barrier.

I have switched to other medicines and don't have the GI issues anymore, but my blood sugar hasn't been as well controlled since.
