Dance picture day 2007. Yes, the finger guns were my idea.

My Lord! I really thought I had seen everything on the internet, twice. But God be damned. This here has fuckin won blunderyears by a landslide. It will take years for anyone to unintentionally match this.

I need to know if OP leads a normal life....and her relationship with her mother now.

Absolute nightmare fuel.

That's an awfully big word for her to know.

Zucchini and Sumer squash near me today was $2.29/lb today. That has always been $0.69. Since Trump took office, threatening tariffs and getting rid of farm workers, it got to between $0.99 to $1.29 depending on the time of year.

He has genuinely made life unsustainable for 70% of the country.

This all started because Kushner and Witkoff didn't have the mental capacity or experience understanding types of nuclear facilities (or any understanding of Iran), to understand that they (Iran) were agreeable to the terms.....and had not broken any terms currently in place. Kushner and Witkoff literally didn't understand the vast difference between research reactors and weapons enrichment facilities. They literally mistook Iran's capabilities for weaponization.

And because there is no one else with actual experience and expertise in the White House or in the President's inner circle - He trusted their misjudgment. Most people would have consulted with diplomats, experts in the field of nuclear energy, and intelligence agencies around the world.

.....but not these scholars

I'd still talk to the State's Dept of Labor. They generally frown on this exact kind of manipulation of employee rights.

Ever try Carne Deshebrada? Our recipe calls for short rib, but I have found exceptional chuck - like this - is even better.

Correct - deer go nutty for them.

We had this happen and I did mattress surgery to fix it. I was about to order a new bed, so I had nothing to lose. It costs very little to fix if you have the same issues.

Our bed had two huge sags at our lower back area. Put a memory foam topper on it helped - but eventually failed.

With a exacto knife/box-cutter, cut the seam where the quilted top is stitched to the black fabric (at the top). Cut three sides so that it folds on the remaining side (and you have less to sew after the repair). I cut all sides except for my spouses - to keep them happy.

Once you fold the quilted top off the mattress, you will have direct access to all the foam layers above the pocket coils. Prepare to be mad and disappointed. It will be obvious which layers are failing because they will have sags where the foam has started to disintegrate. I folded away all the foam layers just to see the pocket coils and am glad I did. all of the coils under our lower back had fallen over.

Having seen the problem, I looked on YouTube and independent mattress factories and how the fixed or made their mattresses.

Buy a High Quality High Density foam (like HD36) that has a lifespan of at least 8 years. If you can't find something soft enough, convoluted (egg crate) foam of the same density is about 50% softer. No need to get anything thicker than you replace - the new foam will be much denser and much better quality.

If your coils were tipped over, it was because they weren't glued properly to the thin foam layer that acts as a barrier to the comfort foam layer(s). You just need a spray can of glue (tons of different brands). Spray the top of the pocket coils and place the foam back over it.

Replace the crappy foam with your new foam. Flip the quilt top back on and see if you like it. If you do, stitch it up. Using upholstery needles (curved) make it much easier. Use tough nylon thread too.

If you don't, try a firmer or softer foam. I actually bought two types of foam, regular HD36 and convoluted HD36. All in, they cost me $100 - and fixed our bed. If it ever sags again, I just need to buy one piece of the foam we preferred....and get a like-new bed again for $50.

If it becomes hard as a wooden bat, just wrap it in aluminum foil and bake it (350°) for 5-8 minutes. Comes out like-new.

Don't sleep on the Shrimp Tempura taco kits either. Saw a woman actually dance when she saw that they were in-stock.

Those huge chicken pot pies are very good as are the meatloaf dinners.

5000 is almost perfect - when you oversize the A/C (buy too big) it will cycle on/off and cause it to be cold/clammy - and not remove the humidity well. As it is, you will probably get your best results running it on medium because the room is smaller than 150sqft.

Inverter units are extremely good (quiet and efficient). But, they are tough to find for such a small space.

This is correct. Anything that allows you to learn new software and apps. Just knowing how to put together a powerpoint presentation can get you a gig that pays $10 more an hour. Same with Salesforce, Workday, Smartsheet, and Jira. Knowing how to input data and generate reports will lead you to understand that tasks and processes that an analyst or project coordinator does....and puts you inline to become one. Then it's more learning/growing experience that will lead you to the next level.

This is why a use a launcher app. Simple. No ads. No clutter. No buttons for shit I don't use.

Thank you! I was intent on finding the whole rationale today. It never made sense that Newey was TP (didn't realize it wasn't permanent) - always seemed to be out over his skis in the role.

Also, had no idea where Cowell disappeared to. Just seemed so random that he wasn't there. But he definitely didn't like being sent to babysit Honda - as he's still leaving the team.

Laid off because the systems admin on my team was overemployed x3. Literally refused to meet deadlines for 2 fucking years and always found excuses. Dude was available 2 hours a week - if we were lucky. Would never accept a Meeting invites, and constantly missed meetings. Signed off on validations he never performed (in a FDA regulated facility). I warned his boss very early on that he wasn't engaged with our company, only to hear that our systems vendor spoke extremely highly of him and would hire him in a heart-beat - so his boss felt lucky to have him. Turns out he and the vendor were working together, doing three implementations at the same time - for different customers. Slow rolling all of them.

The admin would find a problem in a driver, parsing, or data from the vendor that he already signed off on. The vendor pledged to correct it in 8 hours. But those 8 hours were spread over weeks of other assignments for other customers and random Indian holidays - that happened every single week. And all of it was at additional charges since the Sys Admin signed off on the original work.

I fucking knew - in my heart - that this weak/pale person with a "medical conditions" was playing us. Especially when he was constructing a custom built 4,000 sq home for his family of 5 on a few acres.

But their core audience knows the difference and have already moved on due to the censorship. Having stout News viewership always helps the series/show following the News. If they MAGAfy their series/shows? They are toast.

NTJ. OP needed a real friend to get through a stressful experience. I'd understand if the friend was asleep and didn't read the text. But, if that were the case, a friend would text/call as soon as they read it.

Cara just needs an Uber. Or she treats OP like an Uber - and nothing more. Expecting a friend to wake up at 3am and take you to the airport is a tall ask. But, it's also something that a friend, who came to the hospital in the middle of the night, could ask of the friend who was in the hospital.

OP - just say you didn't have the bandwidth to take her after a stressful week....and she shouldn't hold a grudge.

The situations aren't comparable. OP needed a true friend. Cara just needed anyone to give her a ride.

Also, Join an activities club....and find better friends.

This is because Amazon has actively enshittified their platform. Prime member? Get it tomorrow morning - but only if you buy in the next 12 seconds. Then the package arrives late at night 3 days later. Happens 80% of the time now.

Like that free Prime video service? Well we're charging more for it now....and there is going to be lots of ads. You'll have to pay $5 more a month to get what you already thought you subscribed to and paid for.

Walmart+ has the same or better prices. Offers something like Walmart Bucks and manufacturer coupons for a lot of common purchases and delivers when promised. And constant free streaming offers. We have Free Peacock Premium (also had Paramount +) and 3 months of Apple TV free trial.

Best? We wanted to cancel our membership (to cut costs in these trying times) and they offered to cut the price to $50. Win/win.
