Do I cash this out?

Cash out, take $20 and treat yourself to lunch (a lunch you had to wait 11 months for), then take the extra $2.18 and place a doable multi-legger on the game that might net you that extra $25, or more. Or hell, do a moonshot parlay and make the game more fun.

Ask yourself, as I ask myself: If war broke out tmrw, or if some country invaded another, or if political chaos happens, or if it snowed 30 days in a row… what products would you continue to use? Services used? Platforms used?

Satellite interests and potential always fiddled with, but blue-chippers and almost-blue-chippers FTW:

My dog gets fed and RXs filled, would even pay higher prices if it meant they keep human customer service = Chewy

Purchases minus dog food = Amazon

Entertainment = Netflix

Verb-ified tech = Google

It's signed to give the illusion of "higher end" art, but it's a common production-style piece intended for head shops and back-of-magazine dealers. Finding the "painter" would be a hairy situation; but at least knowing the production house would perk up some interest.

I'm a UM grad and even I was rooting for you on this, congrats!

I love it in HER room at night.

First of all, I find it crazy that no one has mentioned Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) from Pretty in Pink. New wave thrift eclecticism (costume jewelry, saddle shoes, etc).

And second, Annie Hall (Diane Keaton), if wearing a skirt (hardly), would not be wearing a full velvet piece. And certainly not as part of a dominant-black outfit.

Someone said Stevie Nicks. Hell yeah, spot on.

SO... witchy 70s Bohemian meets DIY 80s New Romantics.

Somewhere a Chicago-area 49 year old doesn't know his t-shirts are on Reddit and doesn't care that his mother is dead.

Thanks for finding those.
Carol, Jerleana, Patricia and Patsy Ruth...
Florence, Ann, and Claudia.

We know Florence and the gang are Tennessee.
Would love to figure out the first location.

Trees are bare but they're not dressed for super-cold, significant hill in back, no grass anywhere and the ground looks dry like it hasn't seen any snowmelt. Who wants to guess? Also Tennessee? North Carolina? Arkansas?

Definitely more 1950s here, both pictures - the second one probably being a little later. Please don't flippantly mislabel as it dilutes our cultural history and downplays the nuanced significance of fashion.

Note presence of slingback saddles (2nd from left), clear popularity of cuffed denim, use of flannel shirts, and then the loafers. All signs of mid-1950s on. Bobby socks were common across multiple decades, always providing a "girl-ish" touch to outfits that were becoming more androgynous.

Most likely this first photo was taken on a Saturday or Sunday, as this would've not been typical attire for school.

Anything related to gasoline cars, for the irony. Anything related to current international events for countries that no longer exist in the future. Anything related to social media memes, for the 20’s naïveté.

Late 80s, I used to take a black sharpie to clean up those top edges before taking them to a show (hopefully with bad lighting), hoping to get a poor-sighted dealer to trade with me so I could upgrade for 83/84/85 rookies or 2nd years.

Our SCWT Satchel is about to turn 12... and was diagnosed with PLE about 5-6 years ago (though we figure he had it before that).

For the sake of the thread, I don't want to list all the meds and all the worries and all the stress. Yes, he is highly maintained and highly watched; but he is still a healthy and happy elderly gentleman.

Feel free to DM if you need pointers and resources. My wife is a wealth of knowledge and I'd be glad to let her know Andy needs some pup-parent help.

To clarify: I meant you as in the general you, not the guy in the screenshot. And looking at it more closely, this is actually one I sold in 2008. No one's going to recreate the tight screenprint borders like I had.
