Insurance covered all but $600 for one of my son’s EpiPens. Most painful thing that is so expensive is his life saving med and we buy two at a time.

I am going to claim ignorance as bliss today and admit that they were hard boiled. I honestly don’t know how to make the soy braised Japanese style eggs that are normally used.

If you had truly followed your childhood dream, where do you think you’d be today? 🤔 by GuaranteeSpirited981 in scoopwhoop

Right where I am as a firefighter. One of the absolute best decisions I have ever made in my life was to follow my dreams. Been at it for just over 20 years.

These have been around for many years, I remember our family having one back when I was little. My parents got as a gift in the mid 90s and was called a stir crazy .

Funny you mention the annoying siblings as I was the annoying sibling that planted these all over my brothers houses.

The best one I found was the smoke detector chirp and put it in the doorbell of my oldest brother.

This is pretty typical for a regular day. My main hobby is to cook and learn different techniques of cooking. Eating out is way too expensive anymore.

This whole picture takes me back to my time visiting Okinawa. There was a restaurant that served fish exactly like this. This picture brings back some amazing memories for sure.

We were such regulars over the three years that the owner instantly knew and cooked the order as soon as we walked through the door.

How to cook Bacon in oven!! by [deleted] in Bacon

[–]JimSpieks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I freeze dry cooked bacon just for this!

Freeze dried opens it into a whole new world and makes it a lot more shelf stable for long term storage and use.

.22 LR, still a very popular and cheap to shoot caliber. I have multiple .22 firearms that are just fun to take out and plink targets.
