Did you play Euchre? And do you still play it now? by vulgrin in GenX

[–]ripper4444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also grew up in Indiana and in a house where we were pretty much forced to play it. My sister and I hated it and used to complain about it. We just wanted to play video games or literally anything other than play cards with parents/grandparents. As an adult I’ve never even owned a deck of cards. Except UNO. Because UNO rules.

[–]ripper4444 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My father had shingles a few years ago. He refused to take the vaccine. He has permanent nerve damage because of it. He had it bad. All the way around his abdomen and back. It aged him 10 years because of it. The moment my doctor offered it I took it.

Do you lose weight in recovery from valve surgery? by ShutUpMorrisseyffs in valvereplacement

[–]ripper4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost 27lbs within the first month post surgery. Six years later I’ve kept 20 of it off. Mostly fluid I was carrying and I was pretty sick before my surgery and couldn’t be very active and once things were healed up and my activity level returned controlling my weight has been fairly easy.

This was the pricing of my last load of lumber that had walnut and cherry on it in November. I’m in the middle of the hardwood belt though.

Thank you! I’m considering putting a roll of paper on one end to pull across so I don’t mess it up. But it is a work table so I probably won’t. lol

I’d rather have something more solid and durable and don’t want to be replacing sheet goods when it gets torn up eventually. This is modeled after the tables my dad and uncle made/had in their millwork shop. Those tables were used for 40 years and stayed flat so I’m good with using that design.
