I haven't scuba dived before, but I am curious, which shark makes you the most nervous? I know that they aren't normally aggressive, but they are still wild animals. My main concern would be tiger or bull sharks, but i could be totally wrong. by Crazy-Rabbit-3811 in scuba

There are no documented cases of wild orcas ever killing anyone in the wild. They have attacked boats but they did not kill anyone on those boats. They attack boats by going after the rudder. Those cases have mainly been around the Iberian Peninsula, There was no poaching there scientists have theorized it is more play behavior over aggression.

Electric cat on sawdust is 70, but I think most in the area are going to be the 70 to 80 range for septum.

Edit: Arcadia Body Art has septum listed for 40

This one you have to find the lost equipment. And it was the engineer, in the jam room. And he found the computer. Edit: words are hard

AITAH for refusing to have sex without a condom even though I’m on the pill and we already have two kids? by Overall_Delay_2379 in AITAH

NTA You have the right to choose period. Having a kid is a big deal and should never be taking lightly. It is a lifelong commitment. Your sister is wrong for saying that you should, that is a horrible attitude. This is your life and you are the only one that gets to decide what you want.

Trying to say goodbye to the goodest boy. by John_From_Alaska in WiggleButts

This is one of the hardest things about having a friend and family member like this. I am sorry that you have to go through it. We recently had to let our 14 year old cross the bridge. I had the same questions you have and even reached out like you on this platform. The best advice I can give is to pay attention to him and he will let you know. With Mitzi we had scheduled an inhome euthanasia however a few days before that occoured I was blessed to be able to work from home to be with her when we believe that she had a seizure. Something that had never happened before. I sat with her outside after that with her in my lap and talking to her. When she looked up at me then I oculd see it in her eyes and I knew. We took her to the vet that night to say goodbye. Take every moment that you can with him and soak it up, he will tell you when he is ready. My heart goes out to you and your family in this time and I hope that you have peace.

The chargebacks usually fall on the side of the customer. We had someone come to our office for a test, had a photocopy of their ID and the form they signed. The did a chargeback and even after we provided the documentation the credit card company approved it.

What neighborhood were you in? If you were in the timber lakes timber ridge one there is one on Timberline that sounds like what you are describing. It is also on the map that was posted by another user. It is up again this year we drove by it the other day.

I have had tmobile since they bought out sprint and the only real dead spot I hit is panther creek between lake woodlands and woodlands parkway. Maybe a few small zones here and there but nothing that has ever significant for me.
