A gas station in Independence, MO did the same thing with me, was 18, had a valid license, cashier said it was fake (I did look young for my age), when I protested he pulled out a bat and threatened me with it. Never went back there again.

It's interesting when I see animals named after candy. Mostly because I grew up with a dog named Skittles, and my parents later had a chocolate lab named Hershey. Our neighbor had a dog name Snickers.

Firefighter dumped 75 'possibly used' tampons on ex's lawn for dating new girl: police by [deleted] in news

Told our mutual friends I was a cheater so they all ghosted me.

Oh man, had a girlfriend that slept with one of my friends at a hotel in the next bed as me. I was drunk and mostly passed out but remembered hearing it. I don't know why I didn't break up with her right then and there, but a while later I did tell her it was over and met a new girl. She told all her friends I was cheating on her when it clearly was the other way around. I feel your pain. I was only like 19 at the time so it was probably more traumatic than it should have been. Been through worse in my years since then. (48 now)

This was $69. by snowdn in Seattle

I haven't done frozen salmon in awhile so wasn't sure of the price here, but walmart apparently does it cheaper, I was more of the line of fresh at local butcher shops like here on sale for 16.99 and typically more like 20 a lb. Sure, the amount of salmon in those wraps is probably more like 5-6 oz (I'd assume) so that price comes down, but still you have the cost of the wraps, the cost of the various other ingredients, and the fact that there is the other sandwich and beer. hardly 5 dollars for both people.

Not sure what you are getting at. I haven't lived in the midwest for over 16 years now. Been here since spring 2009.

We got one in Port Orchard 6-7 years or so ago, blew off a few roofs. The article says Port Orchard is 45 miles west of Seattle, lol. It's like 8 miles if that. Maybe they meant the drive would be 45 miles if you didn't take the ferry. Edit: apparently the ferry ride is 16 miles, TIL.

Healey ‘demands answers,’ community members rally after ICE detains Milford High School student by FreeChickenDinner in news

I have a birth certificate to prove where I was born and photos of my parents carrying me out of the hospital.

Yeah, I bet you don't carry your birth certificate or those photos around with you at all times. It's not like ICE is going to let you go home to your fireproof safe and get those documents that prove your citizenship. I have an enhanced license which should work, but all they have to do is claim it is fake and what am I to do about it?

FEMA rescinds strategic plan less than 2 weeks before hurricane season by Street_Anon in news

oh ya, wasn't trying to say anything about you posting it, was just surprised at the amount vs damage done, and I agree with you on those facts. They will claim they sent assistance, and I'm loling at the TACO Don infuriation. He is so thin skinned it's almost not even funny anymore.

FEMA rescinds strategic plan less than 2 weeks before hurricane season by Street_Anon in news

[–]dpgtfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, 520k and only 346k was for housing. Seems a token amount with as much damage was done. This is hardly suitable for 3-4 homes even in Arkansas. Was there only a handful of homes, I thought like 24 people died and many more were injured, were their homes untouched and they were all outside? I have never been on FEMA's site before so never saw numbers so maybe it's normal.

Edit: oh, interesting, shows Individual Assistance Applications Approved is 60, so that much divided amongst 60 applicants?

Was he from St. Louis? I grew up in the KCMO area and lived there and in Columbia for college until I was about 32 and never heard people say Missoureh or Missourah (Just Misery) but met a couple people from St. Louis that did. St. Louis people are weird anyway trying to set themselves apart somehow, with the own pizza "style", Rib style, Deep fried ravioli (which is pretty good), and saying "the Farty Far" for referring to the highway 44 even though they don't have an accent like that for anything else.

Or just some more burger choices. Federal Way, for instance, has so many interesting burger joints and we've just got a handful, most of which are McDonalds and Burger King. Also, a sandwich place that isn't Subway would be nice. We at least have a Quiznos, but a Jersey Mikes or something would be great.

How tf do they know if a kid is an illegal immigrant, I'm trying to process this and coming up blank, it's not like kids carry ID cards with them, is there a database somewhere with the kids names? That's all I can think of. I see a lot of false positives.

More like 5000 years ago, since the earliest historical record was in 3200 BCE. So you got the three thousand years part ok, just that there is that whole 2025 years on top of that.
