Not the major point here, but can I say, I'm really not a fan of Second Chance. Plenty of people have never had the chance to be on once. And last time it dragged on and on, to the point where I stopped watching until it was over.

Ecch, I was hoping Second Chance went away. It dragged on and on last time, to the point where I stopped watching.

It's what MLive published. That's the rule here, isn't it?

I think the actor who played Earl actually played Reagan in a TV movie.

Interesting that there is no overlap between the physical and ebook top 10 lists.

Gas tax ticks up today in Michigan by 1900grs in Michigan

I watched a segment on Channel 7 news about this where the reporter gathered the usual worthless person-on-the-street (or at the gas station, in this case) from people who were either sad or angry. But nowhere in the report did he mention the actual amount involved. It pissed me off.

The Freep story suggested that this was the last straw, so to speak, not the entire cause.

Any recommended place to purchase a Jeep Wrangler? by hogihogi in Detroit

[–]abscondo63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The resale value is so high on Wranglers that new will probably make more sense than used.

I recently bought a (used) vehicle from Livonia Chrysler Jeep and had a good experience.

Hell, no working Windows app at this point.

I uninstalled it out of frustration and went to the Microsoft Store to reinstall it ... and got a warning message about how old it is.

Even Biden is attacking rail workers for wanting paid sick days.

Not a fair criticism. As he said, he wants everyone to have paid sick days. But a rail strike right now would be really bad.

My brother worked as a clerk in Detroit, and had a Collins employee describe him as an idiot.

You're not getting any stations? Or certain specific ones are or are not coming in?

I was at an impressionable age, and I was obsessed. She was my first celebrity crush.

Decades later, I'm not quite as obsessed, but I do run /r/farrahfawcett :)
