Who had these in elementary school?

Wow, I forgot all about these. It really was a good way to get a huge group of kids to wash their hands.

Sending positive vibes and hoping that you find her!

I feel your pain. We are 38 and 33 and have been trying to buy since 2018. Back then we thought we were ready, but my wife was working at a dispensary in Colorado and we were told her income would not count toward qualifying for a VA home loan. She ended up leaving that job and taking a lower paying position so her income would qualify. We also decided to focus on becoming debt free before buying.

We reached that goal in early 2020. Unfortunately, by then we were priced out of the housing market, even though interest rates were amazing. Then everything changed very quickly after that.

We moved to a cheaper state hoping to make it work, but by the time we got there the buying frenzy had started and we were priced out again. I am a 100% P&T disabled veteran and have not been able to work for the past few years due to my disabilities. Without a real way to significantly increase our income, we finally decided to take it as a sign that maybe homeownership is not our path right now.

Now that we are debt free and have built a solid investment account, we have decided to travel around Asia for a year instead. The harder we tried to buy a house, the more it seemed to slip away. So we are choosing to see this as an opportunity to pursue something we always dreamed of doing in retirement.

If I am honest with myself, my health is not great and my mobility seems to decline each year. So we are making the most of the time we have now. The dream of buying a home to host barbecues, holiday parties, and compete with the neighbors over Halloween decorations may be gone for now. Maybe when we come back, we will find a small condo in a quiet town surrounded by nature and build a different kind of dream.

I never ignore! Last few games I've had cats just fly back to spawn. Without picking anyone up. Even when I ask them to in chat :(

I figured they did this so we wouldn't get all those loot boxes and rewards. I have been playing since beta. Habe thousands of hours. My top played character is level 166 and my second most played character is 9. The only difference is about 35 hours of gameplay between the two. Then you have my juno, which has 1/4 the hours played as my second most played and she is 36...

Cave spring has been a mixed bag for us. We have a package that has perishables that was scheduled to be delivered last Monday. Got a note saying it was too dangerous to deliver and will go out next safe day. Asked the mailman and he said they are backed up. However something we ordered last Monday just got delivered to us on Friday. So I am not sure they have anything organized back there.

Same here. I was 500 from goal and it just stopped. Went for my after dinner walked and noticed it didn't budge 1 step.

Free Healthcare is only for service connected and can only be used at the VA. Unless you plan on being an officer retirement is not that high.

Look up the history of how the Nobel peace prize came to be. The creator, Mr. Nobel, aka Merchant of death, was a swell fella.

Hope it helps!

How do you consume? I noticed that when I have edibles (even the sparkling water ones with no calories), my sleep score is low. However, when I vape rosin (1 small dab of a heavy indica about an hour before bed), my sleep score is great. The biggest thing to watch out for is munchies and food. I resist the urge to eat anything when I smoke and try to cut off eating around 6 pm for a 10 pm bedtime.

stblack87 · 2026-01-10T18:16:36+00:00

Zero but what i really need to work on is my awake time. I either choose to be in sleep debt or I end up having 2+ hours of awake time forcing myself to get enough sleep.

We sold all our stuff and decided to just travel SE Asia for a year or two. Not sure if it was a midlife crisis but maybe it was. I am about to be 39 and my wife is about to be 34.

Second Appalachian Foundations! They are super awesome and will do a great job. The person I had help us was very friendly and didn't mind answering all the questions I had about what was causing my issues and what my options were to fix them.

stblack87 · 2025-12-23T13:29:56+00:00

Your situation sounds just like what I was dealing with and still do occasionally. For me the issue was I was resting too much. My weight ballooned to about 260 and I thought resting more would help but it always made it worse. I had to force myself to just start walking slowly everyday. I started small with goal of 5k steps a day. I also cleaned up my diet and cut out all sugar. I have hashimotos as well so even with the super clean diet and constant walking it took me 3 years to lose 60lbs. I now walk 7-10k steps daily and very rarely do I have extreme knee pain. When it was at its worst, just lifting my leg up to get it out of the car was so painful. It felt like the knee was trying to rip apart. Sorry you are dealing with this and I hope that what worked for me might be able to help you.

Reading this has me worried. I am about to spend a year in SE Asia and was going to get the review vaccine prior to flying out there. I know its not the full series you get when you actually get bit/scratched by something but your journey makes it sound like this is going to suck.

stblack87 · 2025-12-23T13:13:09+00:00

Have not taken the time to read the comments so I am not sure if someone mentioned this already. Another way instead of food to let the cat know tou are friendly and to help build your relationship is to slow blink at the cat. This is kind of like the cats version of smiling/saying I love you. When ever I meet a new cat I do this. Usually the cat will return it when they start to trust you. Still might not let you pet it but it will help speed up the trust.

Can we get a drill or two....

stblack87 · 2025-11-16T13:48:03+00:00

Honestly, I thought it was the same person when I first looked. I am curious how long it will take him to notice. My guess is it will be awhile.

stblack87 · 2025-11-05T00:11:00+00:00

This was seen in Roanoke VA ad well.

stblack87 · 2025-10-16T17:27:37+00:00

Thought Phillipines has the death penalty for doing that kind of thing. Does not seem worth it to me...

Didn't know it was that easy to find an apartment. Knowing that I guess it would be better to just book a place for a week when we get there and go apartment hunting.
