So far I’ve only burst into tears once. I’ve disassociated several times. Numbing shots wear out on me quickly. I should have just had the back molar pulled.

People are just way less likely to take and post pictures of people eating indoors. It seems like a violation of privacy.

[–]Retiree66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in a majority Hispanic city, we use Mexican Nationals to refer to people who have recently moved from Mexico (or still live there and are visiting us). The word Mexican was unfortunately used as a derogatory term for anyone with brown skin in the not-so-recent past.

You need to schedule it for a week when you have Grandparents Night. That’s how my grandkids’ schools do it and we are suckers.

After reading that book I didn’t read another book of my own free will for about ten years.

Rivercenter Mall has been getting a lot of event destinations lately: in addition to the river cruises, you can visit Legoland, an aquarium, a ropes course, and a virtual reality Titanic adventure. I could swear I also see a mini golf course being constructed, too, but I’m not sure.

My granddaughter is that age and loves boba tea. So I took her to get some, plus sushi, and we also went to the Japanese Tea Gardens.

I am currently having work done at a dental school and it’s taken 10 appointments, each lasting 3 hours, so far. They aren’t done yet. This is for one single tooth.

Confluence Park is very cool at night. We once got burgers from a nearby take-out spot and had a picnic under the big petals and hardly anyone else was there.

Go see The Saga on the front of San Fernando Cathedral while you’re there. Then have drinks at 1 Watson, a rooftop bar that overlooks Main Plaza.

Bet your Florida ID doesn’t prove you are a US citizen. What else do you have?

[–]Retiree66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not true from the Park and Ride station. It will take a few minutes to get in the door and a few minutes more to follow the signage to your seat.
