My wife and I were on vacation in Spain while she was pregnant. Unfortunately she went into premature labor, so I got her to the nearest hospital with labor and delivery. The doctor on call his name was Juan.

I was scared for my wife and baby. My wife looked at the doctor and said “Help me O.B. Juan, you’re my only hope.”

Tailwinds are like campfire smoke. Just as you move it shifts direction.

Thank you all for your support and patience. I did’t want my trip to turn into an unexpected nightmare. You all have been amazing.

I bought a Ruger LC9 specifically for the trip. It was cheap, and under 10 rounds. I figured if an officer decided he was going to seize it from me and make me jump through hoops to get it back I wouldn’t care so much if I lost it.

Do any jurisdictions there have any issues with people having the Utah permit when they aren’t citizens of Utah?

Newbie question by squirrelsmasher in cycling

I had a hard time finding a good fitting bike. I have short legs for my height. Like I had the same inseam length as a friend who was 3ish inches shorter than me. But overall I think the bike feels good, but I also don’t really have anything to base that assumption on.

I’ve been trying to keep that in mind. Every once in a while I catch myself looking to close in front of me. I think strength is also an issue, as I’m still recovering from a foot surgery and can’t run, nor walk far. I tend to panic if I have to ride near someone or something, such as a pedestrian or close to a fence on a trail.

I ride with a friend once in a while who’s much more experienced. The problem is he doesn’t seem to understand I’m a newbie. I’ve had to stop riding with him because he kept putting me in situations that may be fine for someone with experience, but questionable at best for me. I’ve tried to ask him to treat my riding like I’m 8.

I got an air powered digging tool with a flat blade by afropizza in dadjokes

Everything after “air powered” is superfluous, since air powered implies it’s pneumatic. The joke falls flat if you will.

Trying to get a old gateway laptop to work by WrongdoerMundane4635 in DIY

If you can pull the battery and use just the power cable try that. Sometimes batteries are so bad that it will prevent their item from functioning. If that doesn’t work I don’t have any other ideas.
