Maybe this should go in no stupid questions, but I’m curious to hear the explanation too. Am I just outdated? I thought every good home first aid kit should have a bottle.

I would do this to incentivize shoppers to take as many as possible. Like at a charity shop that needs to make room for a sizable donation or just to churn the shelves a little.

The sign is still pretty amusing tho.

Infrared photography be weird like that

I don’t require assistance to change a tire. I like to play with power tools. I do the fixit jobs around the house and know how all the systems function. I can hook up my camper to the truck by myself and I prefer to get a back in spot at the campground.

You’re in Aww, are you lost? Do I need to trap you and hand you over to the rehabbers too?

Hm, hard to choose. Cookie Monster appeals to the hedonist in me. Ernie is just a sweet loveable goof. I’m an accountant, so… Count, natch. Pulling from the larger muppetverse, Swedish Chef embodies me trying to be less perfect and embrace a gleeful “fuck it” attitude. Animal is pure unmedicated ADHD. And I have been known to have full blown Beaker freakouts.

I did! It took a few years of trying various things, and in the end a beta blocker was what worked. That and figuring out one of the triggers was sleep deprivation.

Nope, made it worse. It was chronic headaches. If he wasn’t happy with the pop and crackle of my spinal discs, he’d try harder to contort me. I was not a fan.

Also, I saw an eagle try to catch a snake once, and the snake was a constrictor. The snake wrapped itself around the eagle, grounding it. Neither were letting go, neither were going to survive. It was pretty metal, and it wasn’t beautiful. Definitely grotesque and brutal.

Dead and desiccated bodies around a body of water that has dried up. Fish, antelope, wildebeest, etc.

How I felt when I was going to a chiropractor.

(When you’re in pain and nothing is working, you’ll try anything)

I could make an argument that Director of Development positions at community charities would fit a Robin Hood role. They aren’t fundraisers, they are tasked with schmoozing and convincing rich folk to hand over large sums “to leave a legacy”. And then the charity turns around and helps whatever group of less fortunate they feel mission-driven to help.

Begging doesn’t really work for the big dollars. You have to use psychology, and that can be twisted to appear as manipulating/robbing the rich.

Oof. I do this to my sweetie. Thank you for the reminder to work on that some more.

Bluevine is a great online bank for new LLCs. It’s free. It’s easy to set up accounts. You can get a debit card. They will send you 200 free checks a year (upon request). I’ve used them for 2 of my LLCs and a nonprofit.

Don’t worry so much about interest rates right now. You’re just trying to get established. Once you have banked enough for operating costs for whatever joint maintenance there is, you can turn your attention to how you invest any surplus.

True. There was that one annoying dude on GoT that experienced such.

I find I can generally wait, but I experience pain when a group decision can’t be made. Just pick one already. We’re not disarming a bomb, we’re trying to get some dinner.

Lead, thallium, mercury… metals not friendly to direct human contact. I find it rad that if we add a few more protons we get a pretty, shiny metal that won’t melt our brains.*

*that we know of

Many amine endings are like that for me. I’m hooked with fun action, adorable creatures, and badass robots, and then it just derails into endless monologuing.

But watching something when I’m not into it? Sometimes, just so I know what happened in the end. If I like some element of it enough, like the setting or one of the actors. Other times, a wiki plot synopsis will be enough to sate the curiosity. I’m getting better about not forcing myself to finish something I’m just not into.

Seems to be radius

Ah this sucks. Would your advisor or the registrar know if they would accept credits for these courses from another school… and if there are any summer programs available… so that you wouldn’t have to wait until fall semester?
