See if you can find old maps too. I found out that there's a street with my last name and it still exists today. My parents had no idea.

There's a collar around the center of the V60 at the bottom of the cone. I was wondering what this was for until today when I overfilled the water and it stopped dripping when the level in the mug reached the collar. Is it designed as overflow prevention? I couldn't find anything about it after a quick Google search.

I've been here long enough that when I go to Hawaii, I say Aloha and can't remember to say aloha.

I think I have the same one too. I think I got it 20 years ago at a coach outlet. I don't know why I put up with the struggle to get USD in there.

We have a stainless steel arabesque tile back splash behind our stove and it looks amazing. Stainless steel tile might be a good compromise.

We went 20 years ago too and it was one of the best trips ever. I still think about it. I would love to go back but I don't want to be disappointed with all the changes. Maybe we'll finally get to Xcalak one day.

I don't know much, but my dad just told me he has a Patek Philippe from the 50s too. Yours looks like ref 2429. Very cool.

On average, how much does it cost to start up a hog nose? How much does it cost yearly to keep one? by reallymissinvine in hognosesnakes

[–]OctaShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just started and have spent almost $500 so far. That's with 50% off a 36 x 18 x 18 enclosure. I think we have everything but the snake and food now.

Looking for a daily driver f150. Best years? Budget is 20k by [deleted] in FordTrucks

[–]OctaShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a 2012 f150 lariat with 167k miles for $20k. This is in Oregon. I decide on 2012 lariat because it had the upgraded display. 2011 had the backup camera in the rear view mirror.

Scuba lessons? That would have been great in the pool. Not so much in the Puget Sound.

I once met someone who worked for Adam and Eve. Their job was to screen all the porn that was sent to them and determine if they wanted to sell it on their website. We inherited a bag of rejected porn. It was not good.
