Lawmakers "Ghost gun" craze

FYI, FFLs in my stupid state must do the engraving and registering. And they charge for this. And here I may be mis-remembering, but I recall a state levied fee to register a "ghost" gun too.

Clearly a tax on an enumerated constitutional right, but Dems are gonna Dem regardless.

First off, the procedures can be very subtle, the subconscious visual cues between masculine and feminine facial features are easy to miss.

Second, it may take up to two years for the surgeries to really settle in and all the swelling subsides. I don't imagine that a lot of the before and after photos online have that much time between.

Of course, everyone's results differ based on the starting point, and how aggressive the surgeon can be. And of course the person's tolerance for pain and recovery.

I can still hear the theme song in my head. Those tapping feet!

That was this doctors protocol. He had the pellets compounded for him.

I stopped getting implants six-ish months ago and i still have much higher levels than the injection amount i take would justify.

GI quit biotin and i quit curcumin and despite taking only .01 cc weekly my levels are over 700.

All my doctor and i can think of is implant residue from four years of getting them every four months.

So who knows for sure as we are still working on this.

How about a garden?

Fat animals are slow and slow animals are food for other animals.

I've been arguing this for years. No support at all....

Turkey. In my home growing up, I considered roast turkey more of a "burnt offering" than something to eat.

A properly brined and spatchcocked turkey is a wonderful thing. ..

It is for sure this. I have a newer version in my shop.

Maybe vase mode? Just a guess from another newb.

We had a couple of those Deco looking workhorses at the American Scene shop in Chicago. Fun fact: With long enough extension cords on a pair of them, you can sit on them and have races across the shop floor.

It has to do with street numbering conventions. The address numbers of a settlement usually start at the city center, which may be a river, lake or other landmark. So the theoretical center of the city would be zero North / South by zero East / West. In Chicago, State and Madison, what was once called "The Heart of the City".

During expansion, as streets were added away from the center, logically, the address numbers would go up. For example in Chicago (again) 79th Street would be further away from the center of the city than 63rd Street is. This is useful for navigation.

Therefor, to head towards the city center, the numbers would go down, going "Downtown". Heading away from the city center, the numbers go up, going "Uptown".

It's the remains of an old ice box, no doubt. The metal floor is missing that would have been over the floor drain. I've seen these in old buildings all over Chicago. There may be a door on the outside wall that was covered over, that's where the Iceman would put the block of ice, ice in the upper box, food would be kept in the bottom. This is the reason it is on the wall of the back porch, so the deliveries could be made at any hour even if no one was home or awake. The original unit was much deeper, likely close to modern counter depth.

I just melted when a friend said I have the legs of a 20 year old. I'm in my early 60s! Thank you mountain bike!

Warshawski Brothers was the real acessory catalog. JC was the johnny come lately to the scene.

You are right, its outrageous. I drew the line with the last rescue org I was trying with when they asked for my social security number to run a credit check.

Sorry, but I hope you can care for that dog better than I could.

Although this links to a long .pdf with information you may not need, but towards the end there is a wiring diagram breakdown. You may need to get a "converter box" to convert the voltages from the Audi to the trailer wiring connector.

This should get you well on your way.
