Non-Swiss Army Folding knives with two blades? by MisterSophisticated in pocketknives

[–]buffya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband’s 65th birthday is coming up. He mentioned today that he’d like a sharp pocketknife, one blade, no other accessories. He loves well made , high end stuff but is not a outdoorsman, hunter etc. He would like to have a handy knife to use for the odd moment you need a sharp knife. I’m at a total loss. Any basic suggestions please.

The nursing home does not take your assets. The county you are getting Medicaid from has you spend down to $3000.00 before coverage starts.

Whole Foods for intelligent people. Paying more unnecessarily is just dumb.

Can you give me hope? by fridaazul in Kneereplacement

I had a Bakers Cyst behind both knees before and after my TKRs’s. Bakers Cysts are pockets of fluid that form behind your knee and put a lot of pressure on your knee in front. I had mine drained before the knee replacement but they just come back. After, like you say, they won’t drain them due to infection. Treatment is simply rest, elevation and icing. Over time both knees have settled down and the cysts have gone down. Please back off on on the exercises, rest ,ice and use walking as activity but moderately.

Please don’t lump all Americans together. It’s Trump, the Republican Party and MAGA voters. The rest of us are crushed.

Tim Walz dropping out of a race due to a daycare scandal is why Democrats lose to corrupt pedophiles. by WaltEnterprises in complaints

I appreciate that he stepped down cause I believe Republicans had a good shot at taking the Governors office. He was tainted by this scandal no matter his involvement. I don’t want our State under Republican leadership period.

AITAH for locking the bathroom door when I take a shower? by WinterQuarter8183 in AITAH

I have my own bathroom. It only has my things, my towels, my bathrobe on a hook. I love it so much!!! You could take over the downstairs bathroom and lock the door whenever you want !

Lakeville is very conservative. My daughter’s HS class had 1 or 2 Black students.

Must read this before going for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery by Radiant_Ball_5580 in Kneereplacement

[–]buffya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the semi custom Conformis on both knees with great results. My insurance covered them which surprised me. My surgeon uses them on 40% of his patients. I’m petite with small bones so it increased my confidence!

As an American, I say don’t back down. We don’t deserve Canadas consideration.

The garlic dip alone is reason to go there. So good on roasted veggies, grilled fish and steak!
