Paper maps are still available and free in (most?) welcome centers along US interstate highways. My mom had me stop and get her new maps every year whenever I went somewhere. She passed 5 years ago, and I still have the urge to pick up a map when I’m roadtripping.
Some folks prefer slightly green bananas. Either way, I’ve converted to opening from the bottom, and find it generally less messy.
There’s a whole series!
Very good points. I based my comment on a personal experience with family, and they were not endangered by waiting a few days to see a cardiologist. I didn’t know there could be other causes that are critical enough for the ER. But I should have guessed because I know it is similar with tachycardia. Sometimes someone’s had too much Red Bull, and sometimes it’s a birth defect in the nodes in the heart and heavy sedatives are needed to calm that down.
One just opened in the old Rite Aid building near me. I haven’t gone in one in ages. I may wander in just to look around.
I remember having lots of Pickachus, a few Ashes, maybe a Naruto or two. One year I was visited by a Totoro, but otherwise nothing very niche. Did any adults recognize your character?
Dad lived there once upon a time and now makes an annual trek to Fantasy Fest. I’ve done Zombie crawls, but never a bike ride. How does one pedal or steer with mangled limbs? 😄
Haha, the year before the carport harness thing, Dad did a mummy in a coffin since we had ready access to refrigerator boxes. I love that you held the candy in there! Gotta face one’s fears to get the reward!
I don’t know what to say. That’s a whole lot for anyone to process in one month, much less a 9yo kid.
All on the same day or did you space them out?
Sounds like a dumb question, but I am married to an action figure collector, and we have made a few marathon toy runs to allll the stores over the years.
And I love that your anniversary is Halloween!
My husband would get wild upset stomachs before we went out on a date. His aunt would tease him that he was allergic to me. It was anxiety.
I could spend the whole weekend with him in his apartment, and he’d feel fine. It only happened before we planned to go out to dinner specifically. Lunch was nbd to his brain.
If it’s bugging you not knowing and you don’t want to wait until your clinic appt, then yes, urgent care would be able to at least tell you if it’s an emergency cardiac event and send you on to the ER, or if it’s something like afib and it can wait to follow up with an office visit.
Guys, I think it’s time to talk about the elephant in the room.
I do want one. I’ve even designed it. I can’t decide where to put it that aesthectically pleases me.
Never have I ever gotten a tattoo
I wanted so badly for the app icon to be a potted plant.
Yes but it’s also a pun for “shit zoo”
I thought it was taken out so we could fit the giraffe in there.
So the last time I used TurboTax, it was all bubbly, asking questions and providing reassurances that we were “almost done”. That’s not realistic. Realism is going to the post office to look bewilderingly through the boxes of paper tax forms littered around the mailbox area wondering which ones apply to you, bringing home a handful of weird-smelling newsprint instruction booklets, and sifting through that shoebox of receipts you’ve been hoarding while you nurse a handle of whiskey and curse the tax reform act of 1986. Professional tax prep software somewhat recreates that vibe. Turbotax is a marshmallow fluff game guide complete with cheat codes.
I’m in the US but I bought a TomTom in 2008 instead of Garmin because at the time, their maps of Europe were better and we were still traveling there a lot.
One of my favorite memories was the time TomTom had us drive through someone’s sheep pasture in Scotland. The day before we had driven a paved road that went through pastures, and online comments mentioned that the road was indeed open to the public and you had to get out, open the gate, drive through, then close the gate.
So when it said to do it again, I trusted it. But the road was not paved. It was rutted and muddy. We were in a sedan, not anything with adequate ground clearance. And we totally got stuck in the mud. It was very likely not a public road. I’m so glad the farmer who owned it didn’t come out to yell at us. I rocked the car enough to get us unstuck. We came out the other side of the field, back onto pavement, and I didn’t let TomTom try to send us offroading again!
This TomTom also struggled with extreme northern latitudes. Wherever we went in Alaksa, it assumed we were about 100 yards off to the side of the road, sometimes out in the middle of Turnagain Arm 🤣, and constantly fussed at us to navigate back to the marked path.
