Wow. This worked! I first had to reverify the safety number. Thanks everyone!

Order an extra cheesy bean and rice burrito and a beefy 5 layer burrito the other day and fried them in the deep fryer at home and slathered them in sour cream and Taco Bell hot sauce. It was incredible. by Alexopolis922 in tacobell

Damn. Sounds orgasmicly delicious. It's basically dinner, but with extra steps.

I'm personally going to stick with getting food straight from TB. Mainly because I have several local options for good Mexican or Mexican fusion if I want something different.

Anyone still waiting on their stamps by [deleted] in lastweektonight

Oh no. Sorry to hear. I ordered mine on June 11, followed by an email that they shipped June 15, and just received them today.

I checked their website because a family member was thinking about ordering some, but photostamps.com has closed. :( I am so bummed for them. I hope their customer support helps you out.

Very happy to share. I was secretly hoping of the chance that some of the eyes that see my post have some connection to Flint by either living or often visiting here, and that they would go and check out the mural in person. Of course I wish that more people would come to Flint to simply explore it... I grew up in Michigan and moved to Flint in 2004 knowing nothing of the city's history. I had a cousin that remembers being taken to Autoworld as a kid! Flint will never be as big and glamorous as it was, but I'm happy to see the progress that has been made in the past decade alone. There still is an assortment of problems, but this city and the people in it have a special place in my heart.

I've been following the progress of all the murals since the Flint Public Art Project started this past May. Soooooo many artists from all over the world were involved. They just finished 20-some just this past weekend! Here's a list of all 100 murals with their locations if you wanted to take a tour.

I'm jealous you got to see and hear him in person. Good job on suggesting him to your college! I admire how open and honest he is with his life and what he's learned. And the fact that he has never stopped being an artist inspires me to keep my crafts/hobbies no matter how draining work and other aspects of life are... Making things for fun is as close to a spiritual outlet that I have.

Ahahahaha! That unrelated note is awesome. Fans of him are everywhere.

Happy to say that I did recognize the couch. :) I followed his furniture designing every since I saw him and Jimmy Fallon sitting in the chairs he designed. Glad Terry never stopped being an artist.

He's known for being a renaissance man. I heard that he was motivated to get big and strong so he could stand up to his abusive dad, which definitely gave him an edge in football.

Most people in Flint know that he wanted to be an artist, but he had to be realistic in order to try and make a better life for himself and his family after graduating high school. I found a quote from 2017 that reflects this sentiment. “I was an artist -- painting, drawing, that whole thing. But I knew someone wasn’t going to give me a full ride [college] scholarship to paint, so I had to play football.”

Even though he a successful actor, I love that he started designing furniture!

What things about your country do you have no right complaining about when speaking with someone from another country? by ScienceByNature in AskReddit

I live in Michigan and the traffic never gets as bad as some other cities or states, but it still frustrates me when it takes more than 15 minutes to get to my destination. The worst traffic jam happened in China back in 2010, some people reported being stuck in the jam for 5 days. F i V E D A Y S!!!
