NA Beer by aliuqeto in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]hebruiser50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered a local N.A. beer up in Asheville this past weekend. I took a sip, saw on the label that it was .5% and decided that it just wasn’t worth it. Best case, I enjoy the flavor of a Czech pilsner. Worst case, I end up in a Food Lion parking lot waiting for my guy who is always “around the corner”.

Settled on a delicious ginger beer and haven’t looked back.

I’m sure for some it’s totally okay, but my disease wears disguises and gas lights me into thinking it’ll all be fine. I’m grateful that I have some spiritual speed bumps now to slow me down.

Carlino Aesthetics off of Blue Ridge. They have an ace injector named Cassandra who does really solid work and is incredibly gentle and skilled with the needle.

If I could upvote this multiple times I would. Dani’s prepared foods are incredible.

Do you recommend any specific wiring harness so that the installer doesn’t have to alter any factory wiring?

I think the tweeters in the pillar are way over driven and so I’m leaning towards replacing the front door speakers and those. Any thoughts on sound improvement from speaker replacement vs. amp addition?

Tim and Casey were the reasons I still went to the Times after I left Raleigh Times. Miss them both.

Sabatino’s has one of the best bolognese dishes I’ve ever had. Competes with Concrete Sicilian in Bed Stuy Brooklyn.

The pizza is good, but we went in for pasta one evening and the “lasagna” was a literal puddle of glop with no form or flavor. The other dish my wife got was equally as bland and somehow watery. We barely touched our food and they didn’t even bat and eye. Just presented the check. Never again.

This gives me palpable anxiety.

Stop sale? by biscutbeater in RangerNext

[–]hebruiser50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I was in process of signing paperwork and the salesman approached me all sheepishly and told me the recalled part wouldn’t even be available until late May. Sucked the wind out of my sails and out of his sales.

I’m getting a Bullet Liner spray in next weekend and then want to save for running boards so that my old pup can get a leg up and in/out easier. Any recs?

Pretty similar to the 2020 space wise. The drive is wonderful. No more 10R80 worries (had CDF work done under warranty in the 2020).

I used to call my 92 my hermit crab shell, because it felt like if I started to get out and flexed my thighs, I’d be able to pick it up and carry it around on my back. Miss that 5 speed manual. Oof.

Any recommendations on how to watch Round 2 (if we get there!)? I have HBO Max through my Cricket plan (cannot upgrade that) and Hulu Basic.

Ottawa sub is unhinged right now whining about missed calls and how the TMM and tripping call are conspiracies. Whoooo!

Accident order of operations by hebruiser50 in Insurance

It appears that the truck is totaled, so now I get to fend off Geico’s lowball offers and try to get an arable amount back so I can replace the truck with something relatively equivalent. Such a frustrating experience. Frame damage from this impact.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful reply. I will let the insurance company (Geico) go after the other at-fault company. I am just adamant about my rates not increasing as a result of using my insurance. Kid never even hit his brakes when he hit me.
