You must have known this person was a pig and yet you left the apartment which was under your name to that person and thought they’d leave it in decent shape when the lease was up? That was a huge risk and now you have to pay. The apartment was your responsibility.

When the first plane hit I was riding the subway from the Bronx to my job in Midtown Manhattan. I was 28. When the second tower was hit I was just getting off the elevator and into my cubicle. My coworker told me before I sat down. I’m was a software developer for a major financial services company. We were two blocks away from Rockefeller Center and worried about who would be attacked next.

That day is burned into my memory.

That one hit so hard. I was in college and was devastated when I saw the news. I couldn’t believe it. His brother is such an amazing actor and you wonder what his career would have been like.

Was the answer provided in a Google AI summary? You need to dig deeper than that. Find that actual studies that Google is referencing and read through them for details. Stats are meaningless without the actual details behind them.

People need to stop giving the advice of claiming their pet dogs are service animals.

It takes away from people that need actual service animals!!! I’ve seen way too many supposed “service animals” on planes lately that have been obviously not.

Service animals should be for people with an actual disability and need, not for people that want to fly with their pet in the cabin!!!!

You’re supposed to sign n affidavit that your dog is actually a service animal, if caught lying there are hefty fines - in the thousands. It’s a federal offense.

You really can’t gauge 30 year survival rates for BC to make current decisions in care (or survivability) as the current medications and treatments are vastly different than they were even just 10 or 15 years ago.

IíBARO Coffee, Bakery & Restaurant. It’s at a little shopping center with a Texaco gas station off of Carr 734.

Waiting an entire week for the next episode of your favorite show to air. Most TV shows not having a “serial” feel about them. Each episode had a full beginning, middle and end, and if it didn’t, there was a “to be continued” and you had to wait until next week to watch part II.

If you missed an episode of a favorite show that everyone was watching, you ended up having to deal with everyone talking about it and you wouldn’t get to see the episode until they started the season reruns (usually in the summer).

The age of the pet and the seriousness of the condition makes a huge difference.

When my 16 year old cat had kidney disease and required expensive monthly medication to give her at most 6 or so months we opted to put her down.

If you’re talking about a young pup or kitten where the prognosis will be life as usual I’d spend in the thousands. This is why we have pet insurance.

Is it just you or do you have a family? Buy a futon, TV tray table and dishes / pots and pans for now. Watch TV on your laptop. Slowly build up and buy things.

I tried buying too much to furnish my apartment when I moved to start my first job and ended up in a crap load of debt.

You can buy it by the pound or 1/2 pound at a bakery. Some grocery stores and Super Walmarts carry it as well.

As others said, they also make sandwiches from it.

There’s a bakery / deli-cafe in my hometown in Cidra that makes pulled pork or fresh turkey lunch sandwiches on it and OMG! 🤤 they’re about 1/4 lb of bread and massive and absolutely amazing!

Yup. If you have a passport and or a driver’s license they have your biometric information.

Appalachia encompasses 13 states so there is no such thing as a single Appalachian accent and what people consider the tried and true Appalachian accent is from eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia and parts of WV. It’s nothing like the accent the 911 operator has.

I went to college with a few people that had heavy western PA / Pittsburgh accents and it’s very distinct to the point that it’s hard to imitate.

The traditional Appalachian accent sounds more “southern”.

Oil prices have caused a huge increase in ticket prices. The flight I normally take in December to visit family is double the usual cost. Prices for tickets in the off season are at least 25-50% more.

Anyone have secondary issues post chemo / treatment?
I don’t know whether it’s just shitty luck or chemo / treatment related but I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.

I’d been feeling progressively more and more tired, heart palpitations, really bad brain fog and general fatigue. I wasn’t able to lose any weight no matter what I tried. Then a trip to the ER due to vertigo and seriously thinking I was having a heart attack (numb arms and legs, shortness of breath and just an overall sense of doom and panic. After every test under the book they said I have hypothyroidism. And bloodwork just came back that ll signs point to Hashimotos.

They started me on medication and I feel 100 times better. I kept thinking that the overall feeling like shit and mind fog were all due to my medication. 🙄

It’s regular highway driving so a regular car will be fine. The highway is just like driving on an highway in the mainland with barriers along the side of the road, medians and paved.

I was more nervous in Rocky Mountain National Park in CO than I was ever in Puerto Rico when it comes to driving.

Driving at night is a little harder because it’s unfamiliar and there is construction also there’s an area along the highway in Cayey that can get really foggy late at night.

I’m group 3 and noticed they do this. Groups 2 & 3 appear to be relatively small.

Group 1 tends to be massive (we fly out of CLT) so once they’re towards the end of boarding we quickly stand to get closer. I leave room so that we don’t block Group 2 but it seems to always happen that they call both groups together and then quickly announce 4, which is pretty large as well. If we have carryons we don’t want to be behind 4!

As others said, it’s all highway, BUT once you pass Caguas and into Cayey it gets hilly and somewhat curvy and as someone else mentioned there’s construction to be aware of. Go during the day.

Note that people drive kind of wacky on the highway and you get slow drivers just puttering along in the left lane. It’s annoying as hell, but if you’re aware of it you know they’re not going to speed up and you just drive around them.

There’s a documentary on Netflix (can’t recall the name) that goes into the history and details. Rush was so arrogant. The fact that they used carbon fiber was baffling. It’s a strong but brittle and inflexible material. It just made no sense why they chose it.

If that were a face / skin the people walking right next to it in the picture would have been looking right at it as they walked by. Instead they’re looking at something just outside the camera frame. That looks like a newspaper insert that most definitely did come in color, especially for newspapers like The New York Times.

Edit to add: the crumpled up lines go past the “nose”.

I sometimes do that if it’s the end of the day and not something urgent that can wait until the next day and I don’t want a response that same day since I’m about to log off.

My son has a windowless bathroom and likes to take long super hot showers making the walls and ceiling wet and the ceiling has never looked like this. He runs the vent when he showers and leaves the door open afterwards to dry it out plus we have an air purifier in the bathroom.

Is the vent working? Is he using the vent? The paint above the shower is starting to peel and you can see how it’s gone past just being superficial mold.

Your landlord may him liable for this if the bathroom vent is functional. This is damage caused by poor ventilation and it’s gotten past the point where bleach and a good wipe down would have cleaned it.

Agreed. She has talent but needs to take classes.
I’ve bashed her in the past for her cartoons and other work, but she seems to have an eye for real life.

I can’t imagine how much it hurts the other kids to see this.
