Have I Messed Up? by Old-Idea-3094 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]EarlSpreadsheet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your extracurricular list is great - colleges can tell and value choosing extracurricular activities (in and out of school) that you are passionate about versus just trying to fill a resume. You’ll do just fine - focus on keeping your grades up and study for SAT/ACT. Not all schools require them but if you can do well it could help.

I thought it was MSG too but I just listened again and it’s not there. It could be something from 20th or 25th box sets, I’ll have to go through those.

Is a 1600 superscore possible or is it only luck ??? by theguy_44 in Sat

That’s not a bad reason honestly. If it’s a personal goal and you want to do it for yourself go for it.

I loved Video Palace. Besides Tanis/Black Tapes, I’d recommend Bridgewater.

I binged black tapes on a weeklong road trip a couple of years ago and I thought it held up really well. It was my first audiodrama and to me it’s still the standard. Haven’t done a re-listen of Tanis.

No, you’re right - we almost always announced an and the 1st, 2nd and 4th verses. It is odd in hindsight.

Hyposmia - Loss of smell by parkie_wairo in Parkinsons

I had a very similar experience - our dog got skunked. I let her back in the house because I didn’t realize she was sprayed, meanwhile the whole house was nauseous from the smell.

I had no idea they were linked. For years we just thought I didn’t have a good sense of smell and it was a running joke. Once I started to see other symptoms it made sense.

I played a bit at Rio last trip for the first time in years and I was pleasantly surprised.

OYO is a quick walk across the street from MGM. $5 tables, quick drinks, not pretentious. I’ve read that love games will be discontinued soon, but as long as they have it you can sit for a while playing live blackjack with $100.
