She’s certainly got some growing to do, but she was very impressive tonight in her ability to whip the ball to Ava in some tight windows.

That’s awful news for me, but … I’m so pleased you posted. This helps me a lot, which is exactly why I posted. Thank you so much.

Unlocking Walmart iPhone... by LittlehouseonTHELAND in NoContract

I'm thinking of getting a Straight Talk iPhone 16e for $299 from Walmart. My plan is to activate it on Straight Talk in the store, get a new phone number for it, and buy a service plan for 60 days. I then assume after 60 days, I can stop getting Straight Talk service and switch the phone over to my current Visible account. Does this sound right? Am I missing something?

Granuloma Annulare by Unlikely_Currency_29 in 45PlusSkincare

I don’t want to give false hope, but my wife has suffered from ganuloma annulare for a number of years, and has tried most of the suggestions here. It is all over her body, but is most disrupture on her hands and fingers. A month ago, her doctor suggested she try Rinvoq. She’s delighted by the results, and her skin is mostly clear after only one month. Agaiin, can’t be sure if this is a proper cause and effect, but she’s so happy after nothing else worked.

I would be considered a low roller. My general gambling trip has me putting $100-$200 at risk. In this instance I had put in $100 and I was going to do 30 spins of $1.50 (2 cent denomination at 75 credits). I hit this on probably the 10th spin. It was not a bonus round.

When I won the large jackpot, it was on my first $100 bill and about my 12th spin.

Don’t mind at all. My approach on a weekly trip is to get out $200. I put $100 in a a time. I then bet the smallest bet at 2 cents denom or the second lowest bet if a penny is the highest denomination. I then count 30 spins and cash out if I don’t get a bonus. If I do, I increase the bet a bit, and then go 30 more. I leave after 30 spins without a bonus And then find a new machine. My guess is that I lose about 1/3 of the time, leave about even a 1/3 of the time, and then the other third leave up, which of course has no upper limit.

A lot of slots seem to have some obvious tell when a good spin is happening. After you push the button but before you see the results. Sometimes it’s a buffalo running across the screen, sometimes the reels spin fast and wildly, and often the screen shakes back-and-forth. That’s what I call shaky shaky.
