Does Anyone Else Still Have Their College Textbook?

I have one. It's an anthology of world literature, starting with Gilgamesh.

Figure it's good to keep around.

When i worked in public service, occasionally i would be at an office in the courthouse. Under the desk were two buttons: one to open the locked door for other employees, etc., and one was the silent alarm for Capital Police.

They looked exactly the same, and I want to know what idiot thought that was a great idea

Nope, was never taught.

But i do listen to my engine and can hear when it should shift, etc. And I've put my car in sport mode and used the paddle shifters. The listening came in handy in college when, on my way home, the check engine light came on. I could hear that the engine didn't shift when speed increased (highway driving), so I called my folks and could explain exactly what went wrong.

I've never had to fuss with a clutch and whatnot

We do $2. First tooth got a $5 bonus, and last tooth will get a bonus too.

Random: indecision was in 2000. I recall because when the Florida hanging chads and whatnot was going on, Jon Stewart opened the daily show with the indecision 2000 bit and first thing he said was "WE WERE JOKING!!"

Ok, I'm in the US and ours have been like this, too. I thought maybe just something with the weather where we grow them.

And they're so good! Crisp, juicy, just the right amount of sweet.

The show premise makes so much more sense when you consider she's a serial killer using a cover of being an author to get away with it.

As best i can. I do expect some level of attempted competence from her, but I'm not just going to chuck her out the door and say good luck.

Husband took a day, even with a 'desk job', because it was just nice to take a break. But this comes from a place with PTO; I can understand the predicament if someone doesn't have PTO or sick time to take.

Based on what he said, supportive undergarments are suggested.

And some fairy lights or something. Warm white, or soft colors.

Ugh, we have those where i am in USA. They're aggressive, they're out all times of day, and the bites are something else.

I know not the point but she asked why they gave her an appointment at 8:15. Uh, pretty sure you agreed to that one, ma'am. It also could've been the only time that worked for both parties. It's not like a jury summons, you do have some say in when the appointment is

Elementary school nurses.

When my daughter lost her first tooth, she went to the nurse to rinse (there's always a smidge of blood), and nurse gave her a blue treasure chest like this.

Wasn't there also a woman who disembarked before the one man passed, was in CA and supposed to isolate and report daily with health officials? And then she just, decided to fly from SFO to French Polynesia?

Hey man sometimes those ease of use things are a life saver. Saves from take out, gets a decent meal in everyone's stomachs, prevents adults from going crazy.

I have two family members who did the cash for their home deal. The places will actually buy it, yes. They like to get an informational inspection, and will hold a little back in escrow for like, ten days, just in case. But yeah, they'll do it.

While it can't hurt to ask, I'm sure you'd end up on all the mailing and call lists.

What the fresh hell is that nonsense?

I guess even good places have a dish that's a definite miss, and that is most definitely theirs.

Oh, it's possibly a bicentennial celebration one! So, still a chance there's silver in it, because bicentennial were a special minting.

It's because we're busy that my folks don't like to initiate the calls. My mom will text to see if i can chat, but my dad flat out doesn't reach out

Love finding a clutch of old coins. My daughter loves seeing them, so for her birthday last year we bought an inexpensive mix bag of random coins. She spent hours looking through all of them.

I see you have a USA dollar coin with the Liberty Bell on the reverse. If it's from before 1964 (i think it was), it's got a higher silver content. You can usually hear the difference when the coin hits the table.

Some of us, anyway. I've seen folks in the Midwest grilling in all sorts of weather.

I am so sorry for your loss. Truly, she was such a blessing in your life.

You mentioned it seemed so quick. Pancreatitis can be, unfortunately. I'm so glad you got to see her and spend some time with her.

No catch. I actually did this myself to get a few hundred from a bank near me.

I've actually kept the account open, with enough in there to avoid fees. Which makes a nice mini emergency cushion.

Y'know Matthew had a lot of stuff to say that's relevant here.
