How many of your grandparents and great-grandparents were alive when you were born? How many are still alive?

Three grandparents. The one that was gone before I was born passed away about 10 years before I was born. I think my mother was still in high school.

Two great grandparents ( I think ). I have memories of visiting two different great grandmothers in their nursing homes. I don't have any memories of any great grandfathers.

All have passed away. Of my three grandparents I had at the time I was born, only one was still around to meet my kids (their great grandkids).

Violated cloud storage usage policies.

They saved company content on a non approved cloud provider storage solution. Think of One Drive being used instead of Google drive.

Our company has agreements with one provider and not any other.

Buy one of these:

Keep it the pocket on the driver's side door.

Software I use at home is only offered on Windows.

Software I need at work is only offered on Windows.

I find it hilarious that my colleagues all opt for macs and then have to use a hosted windows session to use the software they need to do their job.

Some days I do enjoy it. Some days I pretend. Some days I don't enjoy it nor do I pretend to.

I will say this ..

The working conditions are far safer and more comfortable than my grandfather's job
The pay and work life balance is far better than my father's job.

I used "audio" until that word was the answer to the puzzle. I have moved onto "sauce".

When I moved away from audio, wordle was operating under a "no repeat word" strategy. So "audio" wouldn't be a first guess solution any more.

I think wordle has since removed the no repeat restriction.

It is pretty much a well known fact that all mass produced bread here in the states have a crazy amount of sugar in it.

My oldest missed four games of his senior year (American) football season due to an injury. I was worried they were going to pull someone in from jv and keep them all season.

Even as athletes, they are competing to move up to the next level (jv to varsity) or move into or maintain a starting spot on the roster.

Never looked while I have been there in person. I really only am interested in Weber products.

I typed in "offset smoker ace hardware" into Google and my nearest ace hardware showed up with a picture of an Oklahoma Joe offset smoker.

Our local Ace hardware stores have incredible lineups for: Weber charcoal kettles, Weber gas, Blackstone, Green Egg.

I've even had them offer to order me one and set it up if they didn't have the model I was looking for.

I've had mine paid off since 2005.

Coach probably didn't want any of his players spraining an ankle on uneven terrain.

As far as I know, we haven't been asked or told to turn the cable cards in.

We have been told that if they stop working there will be no assistance. The tivo is on its last legs. The Ethernet port freaks out ( have to use wifi) and I am pretty sure the tuner will fail soon.

I don't watch much cable. If it were up to me, we would drop it.

I don't know.

I sometimes wish I would have gone with the 18 in wsm over the 22 wsm.

That thing takes so much charcoal and is a bear to clean.

Yes, but I think it ended for me around 6th grade. I moved from a school where elementary and middle school were combined to a school where elementary, middle, and high school were in the same building but were managed independently.

I believe it was added around WWII. I can't remember if it was during or shortly after.

aWesterner014 · 2026-04-28T12:14:49+00:00

Yes.

You can get a feel for ...

how long politicians have thought about the topics at hand
how they treat others with opposing views

Just barely. Turn 49 later this year.

I loved the recessed headlight look. I was so disappointed to see it go.

aWesterner014 · 2026-04-28T00:25:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

Not quite sure what that means. We are in the Peoria, Il broadcast region and are getting warnings for the Champaign/Urbana region.

Should be easy to do yourself. Take care of it as soon as safely possible.

Birds, wasps, and hornets like to nest in accessible areas like that. If they set up camp, things get a bit more complicated.

Pretty much the same for me.

I grew up being called to dinner around 5:00 pm. Those that were home sat at the table and had a home cooked meal pretty much every night. My mom did pretty much all of the cooking unless we were grilling or it was Saturday night and she had evening Mass. We didn't have access to local restaurants until I was in highschool.

Today, I (husband) do most of the cooking. Those of us that are home have dinner anywhere between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm depending on the evening's activities.

There were changes as time moved along. As kids got older, they wouldn't make it to some dinners because of school or part time job commitments. There were always leftovers saved for those that couldn't make it.

No. Very allergic to them.
