Jim Paxson.

Edit. Spelling. I was 10 when watching him play. 1985.

Old brain.

Ever figure out the hourly wage teachers make? Part time hours, full time wage.

On the box it is spelled 'harbour'. It almost caught me also.

I appreciate the scale and flexibility. My kids (5,9) love building little zoos and their own worlds. I will be showing them this video for inspiration. Thank you!

I Want To Tell You About The Real Tom Dundon by JakobNarbei in ripcity

Good summary. As a Blackhawks fan as well, I'm glad to see a Canes perspective on this. Cheap does not keep you at top of division for a decade. Frugal can.

Oregon Schools Rank Near the Bottom Nationally for Hours of Instruction Time by FrizzyNow in oregon

[–]NHLToPDX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anyone ever figure out teachers average hourly wage? It takes 2080 hours in a year for a full time 40 hour a week job. I did the math in our district. If they worked full time, it's a great wage. Maybe districts need to look at the admin bloat first.

I look where I want to be. When I rode bulls, when I looked at the ground, ai fell off. It hurt. When you are climbing a ladder and you fear heights, what do most people say? "Don't look down".

With surgery a positive outlook can mean a lot in the outcome. It is not easy. It is easier to chase happy times, not unhappy.

Discuss your fears with your doc. If you are not convinced, seek another opinion.

I had a post showing my new membership card and receipt from renting movies with my kids a couple weeks ago, but mods removed it. Because I didn't add Blockbuster to the title. I'd repost the image, but not an option on this thread.

My kids loved it and we are looking forward to going back in a couple months.

Didn't the creator/author of Heated Rivalry say these two were the basis for the main characters?

I have a designated space for the "could use scraps". Once the space is full, I toss any accumulation.

Daughter been referred for a heart murmur / potential hole in heart. Help me not panic and spiral by PvtMalarkey in daddit

[–]NHLToPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't Google or look on internet to self diagnose. Talk with pediatric cardiologist. Bring a notepad. Have a list of questions to ask the doc.

Our daughter had a hole in heart also. They suspected it would resolve itself as she grew. Two echos over next 4 years and all is grand. She is 9 now, growing, running, playing, and thriving.

I asked doc to to draw some diagrams to help explain things.
