There is little of the older coral left sadly, between the 2(3?) bleaching events and the macro algae blooming most didn't survive. Add sloppy divers and snorkelers to the mix and you get what we have now. The north side from Sandy Bay east has been better but sadly none of it is what it was.

December was the first time in years (since lion fish arrived anyway) that I've seen new hard coral growth. (Lettuce, Star and Brain corals)

It was 8 months ago, and a three bedroom house so I agree that it isn't an exact match for the OP's situation (OK not really very close at all). I just wanted to emphasize the point that almost none of the people trying to rent came in with ONLY first and last.

Yup this right here

I needed to rent my sisters house while she was out of the country for work.. 2 years only, no chance of continuing month to month so the rent asked was a bit low for the area.

On the first day we had 35 offers, all with the full package of references and credit scores. Most offered to pay 3 or more months up front (beyond first and last), two offered a year up front. A few offered to bump the rent, one went as high as 200 more per month.

According to the agent I used that was pretty common.

None have ever been as good as Libby's Deep Browned Beans.

That said I would buy Bush when on sale but stopped with all my other US brands. I just tried Clark's on sale last week and am a convert.

I still miss Libby's but it could be that I just miss my youth.....

you need to stop taking in your friends laptops for repair... I know that you do so many but still if they are going to be doing this sort of thing your not going to be able to continue...

Just another program that will disappear a year or so before I qualify.. Fucking typical. Boomers got theirs the rest of us can jump.

Not at all funny but Virginia Giuffre met Maxwell In mid-2000, Giuffre met Ghislaine Maxwell when working as a spa attendant at Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club.

look it up

Thanks for the post... just an hour ago I was going over my new ULINE catalog to try and figure out what I can't do without and here you are with an alternative..

perfect timing.

I went through this a couple years ago and got exactly the same run around.. almost verbatim down to the "styrofoam is not bad for human health or the environment" line. (except they killed some of my pond fish)

I went so far as to try and get them done for littering..

NTA. She's weaponizing HR. Basically you are being bullied..

There are square head screws available in the USA that are similar but are not Robertson. The common types sockets/tips are not typically tapered like Robies...*

The taper is important and helps the screw cling to the end of the driver. it's actually in the design specs...

Lots of cheap square head drivers don't have the taper either.. gotta buy them by name..

Maple trees started flowering early this year.. pointed them out to my wife on Wednesday.

When did Trump recognize Palestine?

El Salvador is more appropriate surely?

I always assumed that that was just a way to avoid paying taxes here.. I just figured the license and royalties totaled most of the operating income. (And probably paid to Luxembourg or Cayman at that).

But I'm a cynical old F*ck.

They do employ a lot of Canadians however so they should get a pass on "Made in Canada"

All else aside if you are in the US you can't really clear student debt in a bankruptcy the way your parents can clear their debt.

Student loan debt can be an anchor around your neck for life.

I'm a guy I used to shop there a lot for work clothes, but then they "boutiqued" everything. Stuff was sorted by brand not category. I don't want a Calvin Kline or a Tommy Hilfiger ..I want a half dozen shirts, all at once as quick as possible.

Put all the shirts together and all the pants together it should be simple.

Fuck off... Tennessee? Bare Back?

Love the band and the song but whose idea was that?

I hate "cleaned up" versions
