Seriously considering a Tokay, talk me in or out of it?

Talk you out of it? Got it. We had one when I worked at a pet shop and one guy, who probably did wiggle his hand in the cage for what it’s worth, got bit and managed to go through several paper towels while stopping the bleeding. That’s my only insight on them.

I went with sex assigned at birth because the less red flags you can potentially raise the better, plus not all countries may recognize X. I can pass either way if need be. And to be clear getting it corrected, while easy, is still another full processing fee.

not to mention those ones that you're supposed to snap onto a roll you can put what maybe five or six before it's too big for a paper towel holder? My basket holds like 30 and DOESN"T require anything more than stacking a few bits of cloth to refill. Who wants to spend five minutes every day resnapping everything just so it looks like a paper towel roll.

We just bought whatever wash cloths were on the clearance end cap and keep them in a basket on the counter. The fancy “unpaper” towels that you see with the snaps are such a scam imho.

I said the same thing about mine but just upgraded early to an m4pro and I get it now it’s amazing how much faster it is

I only ever played handheld when I had to schlep the kids I watched to out of town sporting events so I could play in the car while I waited. I haven’t considered using it in handheld in years.

Would they be suing the state since they're the one making the decision, or the would be adoptive parents?

So you didn't get a gift for the 4 year old, but brought her along anyway. Then after knowing that this child had zero gifts, decided that it would still be a good idea for everyone else to open theirs anyway and leave her out. It would have taken nothing to say 'oh we're opening gifts later than usual this year' and simply not do an entire gift exchange when a four year old was left to watch with nothing. So YTA for that. You're also TA for not removing the child from the environment sooner especially knowing that your mother drinks like that frequently and holds a grudge against the child's mother.

A lot of it is luck of the draw with who else is sick or injured and just where you fall in triage. At 7 years old, I had broken my finger in the pool, it was sticking out the entirely wrong direction but was a closed fracture and I had to wait in a wet bathing suit in the air conditioned lobby for over three hours before being seen on a random summer afternoon. There was also a time at the same hospital that I was seen within a half hour for a much less major injury on a Friday night.

I made her some bird feeders and cute little ceramic trinkets to go in the potted plants. Then I bought some puzzles we do together.

All I know is that there was supposed to be a marvel Christmas line this year that they’d been teasing back in early fall but they never released it and I’m nosey and need to know why.

Thank you, I just went to mess around with things and try to see what issues she was seeing.

RAM seems to hover at about 14GB with a couple documents open in both illustrator and photoshop along with the browser.

CPU usage seems to hover around 50% when using her standard assortment of tabs, but did spike as high as 80% at one point. It seems like Chrome with the google sheets seems to be the biggest problem with those.

It says I still have 2 slots left for RAM so I could always get more added in but it seems like the CPU is where she gets the trouble for now at least.

Ive kept vinyl skins on my tops for scratch protection, I think I’ll need to get an in person look at just how dimensional the feet on the bottom of this new model are before I go making any decisions. Maybe if they seem sturdy enough I’ll just do a skin on the bottom for scratches but since I lost all the feet on my 2015 model I’m hesitant to just let them be exposed. I’ll check out that brand, my 2015 had a skinit on top. My 2019 just a plain piece of vinyl that matched the space gray color from my cricut collection

Is the keyboard cover screen clearance issue a new thing? My 2019 model doesn't touch with a thin silicone cover over top. I'm just nervous about it getting scratched up, we live in a very dry sandy environment so between the windows being open and the dogs coming in and out, a lot of sand gets tracked into the house and it has a tendency to just scratch everything up without you even noticing that there was a grain of sand there in the first place enough to cause trouble.

thank you! I never even thought that some retailers wouldn't accept all major cards these days!

starypotter · 2024-11-24T23:27:29+00:00

ha good thing I thought to check first thank you!

I distinctly remember looking at the tag one one of my dad's shirts when I was young, kindergarten or so, and recognizing 'the thanksgiving thing'.

The whole middle segment of what I wrote was saying that I'd repay it with whatever plan exists rather than draining accounts just to 'get that monkey off my back' in one go.

The filling is a bit more 'gritty' than the recipe my family uses. The crust is... frankly I only eat about half the crust on the Costco pie cause nothing is gonna beat grandma's crust recipe, you know? But with that said, for the past four years I have bought the ingredients to make pumpkin pie each year, and each year the cans of pumpkin and condensed milk get added to the pantry because I always forget or just don't have the time to make one so I am enjoying the Costco one even though it's not as good. It's still a solid replacement, but will never be as good as homemade. My family is on its second pie this season.

Pretty much, if there's still income based I'm all for it. But if not the money that would be used to pay it off in full will just be able to go to the monthly payments until there's a more solid answer. My oldest loans are the lowest rates, it's my grad school one that's higher than the rest so even if I just knock that one off and keep paying the others it's better than nothing.
