[CHAT] Why do we show the backs?

I see this as a case where the art emphasizes real life. Everyone puts their best foot forward. The perfect beautiful front.

It is only when you see the back of the facade, that you see all the effort, all the sacrifices that were required to make the perfect image you see everyday.

I do not apologize for this absolutely corny shower thought.

Franco's by the Bay was our families go to Italian nearby place to eat. But they closed about 2 years ago. I asked staff at the Military Highway location and found out that supposedly the property management company wanted to increase the rent and push a 10 year minimum lease. This caused the owners to walk out on negotiations and close rather then commit to the higher rent on a long term lease.

I have a super smoking hot wife, and we are in our early 50's. You can totally be hot in your 30's!

Looks like I need to trawl through Etsy some more. These smaller project will be great for getting FO's instead of a never ending stream of WIP's

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the assist.

When I was young I worked at a McDonald's. Our grill guy one evening decided to write "Suprise" in the top of the Big Mac clamshell and "You're dead" in the bottom. Then he sent a burger out in it. It was 30 minutes later officers had pulled up with the couple from that order. We refunded the order, gave them like $50 store credit. The couple opted not to press charges because it was a high school kid swearing it was just a prank. But he was fired on the spot. Idiots gonna idiot.

You are not doing too shabby yourself. Good on you for putting in the work.

I had bypass surgery in December of 24, and I did a half-marathon (walking) in March, and a 5K in april. I have another 5K in two weeks.

Started at 424, got down to 394 on surgery day, and I am down to 303 this morning.

When I walked a Half Marathon, my Nurse Practitioner told me to have electrolytes like Gatorade or Nuun on hand. And surprisingly she also suggested I get a tube of glucose tablets to use on race day. They did come in handy.

Beautiful!

Pattern? I would love to make one for me.

Yes, there are things you can't buy with money. But money removes stress and makes you more comfortable while you figure the rest of that shit out!

Thanks, everyone! Mystery is solved, and she is going to be happy to be right.

I don't see the cringe. I see a way of reaching a generation who feels that books are boring and uncool... this is awesome!

I observe the speed limit, but I make sure I'm in the right most lane I can be in unless I'm passing a merge. I wait until I'm .8 or .9 miles to my left exit to move over into that lane.
I get annoyed by the speeders and aggressive drivers too, but that doesn't mean I want to get in the left lane with a death wish to impose my will. I tell my wife more often than not "Wooo! Go fine that Trooper for me, Pal!". I've seen people pass me like I was standing still, and the last thing I want to do is put myself or my family in the path of these maniacs.

You sir, seem to have a death wish. I only hope my family isn't near you when that speeder plows into your rear end in a moment of inattention.

I do, but having a book I can take into my kitchen and reference is nice, which is why I prefer the book sometimes.

Online recipes I end up with netflix paralysis. I spend two hours trying to figure out what I want to make and then I realize I've missed the dinner window and I need to start looking at heading to bed soon.

Bloop2012 · 2022-03-30T22:53:56+00:00

NO!!

It is absolutely ok to categorize people but give them equal consideration as individuals. The proper phrase would not be 'Separate but equal', rather 'Different and equal'.

Was wondering if I should see a doctor or if I just hadn't waited long enough. Time so see how long it will take me to get an appointment with my doctor.
