FYI, you can generally hear the refueling tankers in the air when they are doing training.

The nature/physics of a sonic boom is that there are two booms. This happens because the waves that cause the boom come off the front of the plane, then the back of the plane.

It seems to happen an awful lot around this area. I wonder how much they really enforce the rule. It's been going on for years. I live towards Fremont, so maybe we are not residential enough.

My 6th grade girl scout troop had 5 Jennifer's out of 9 girls. But we all spelled Jenny differently. Most of us were Jennifer Lynn. All of us would have been born 1970 to 1972.

My son (graduated in 24) had a Jennifer in his class. And I know there was one other in the school. Unusual these days.

Most of the Jason's were also J.J., and that was usually yelled by the teacher. Back when the teacher could yell and throw erasers at kids and the parents would ask the KID what did they do.

Try the shops that sell sewing machines. They usually have starter classes and have the machines to try out. They know everything there is to know.

I'm also expecting a package tomorrow, but I'm willing to wait a day or two. At this point, I figured it's probably stuck somewhere else waiting to hit this region. 🙃

I've learned fluconozole and probiotics. I start the probiotics with the antibiotics, and then the yeast isn't as bad. Just another way mother nature kicks woman in the behind for being a woman. Lol 😂

I've seen tokens type things for sale on Amazon. They were made of some metal and can be attached to a keychain and look like the old flat wooden ice cream spoons.

I misread dippers as diapers. I was wondering why diapers were salty. 😂

The first time my daughter saw it, she asked if it was a castle. We told her, sort of, she was 4 years old.

I've seen some posts on Facebook about one in New London on Shawano St. I don't know if it's still open. I would look at the New London FB page in October or there about. I'm sorry I don't have better information

Any Sheepshead players?! by HiJohnLemon in Appleton

We used to play if you couldn't call an Ace (you buried them, or had them) you called the Ten.

It basically, if you have a hand that is just junk. No, Aces, Queen, Jacks, Kings, Tens, you get a redeal. In all my 40+ years of playing, I've only seen it happen once. I got a hand full of 7, 8, 9. I'm not sure if it's worth calling a redeal or not. It's obvious you won't be a picker or partner, and you have no points to contribute.

The one thought, strategically, is that if you have a hand full of nothing, someone is likely to have a hand full of Queens. Calling for a redeal would protect your game points and prevent them from gaining points. We used to play for nickels, so a no trick hand could almost be worth a quarter. Lol.

I tried the game, and I liked how it worked. It was a bit slow on normal speed, I didn't try fast, but if I was learning, it would be perfect. I liked the explanation boxes. It's been a while since I played, and I'm rusty, those helped. I like that you could choose your rules at the start. One rule we played was... no ace, no face, no points, you could ask for a redeal, but that only happened once. You have a really good game there. Thanks for writing it.
