    2019 Hyundai Accent | Carvana https://share.google/t3bMNOiKr6cqln5Wm Practically the same car for sale after last one sold. I'm glad this decision will easy and quick. This is apparently a sub-segment of the market for this year, make, and model. I was talking to a neighbor I know at the pool. We decided to leave at the same time and he offered to give me a ride home in his BMW 3 Series convertible. He's a retired aircraft mechanic and it's his pride and joy. I've never driven or been a passenger in a BMW. I was very pleasantly surprised. I liked his car very much. It was all spontaneous and fun. Oh, and before we left, I complimented a man on his watch, necklaces, and cross pendant. He asked me if I had any watches. I told him about my Casios and told him they don't go under water. He said you like watches? Then he took his Amitron off his wrist and gave it to me. Extraordinary. I felt like I had been blessed.

    Those blocks Steve showed are very popular around here. I see them often. I didn’t know they were a Home Depot (cough, Trump donor, cough) item. But likely available elsewhere.

    @Axtremus said: @jon-nyc said: I saw some excerpts describing the damage some have taken, and many of the troops were evacuated before the war, knowing these would be targets. But they’re all (or almost all) still being used for aircraft sorties, which means they’re nowhere near obliterated. It’s not hard to disable a runway with a bomb. "Obliterated" in the same sense that Trump has obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities last year. They did not have nuclear capabilities. They had a nuclear program for industrial development. Their program was being inspected by the international nuclear agency. This is how we know. This pretext was bullshit. The rationalizations given for 2.0 were bullshit.

    Link to video I understand they have to cover this, and in fairness I saw what it said, and then skipped over it. But this is only the surface layer. Of course, this woman is deranged. The point is that it was almost certainly an attempted hit job. I have followed these crimes (i.e murders) in this industry starting with the killing of Tupac Shakur. It took me years to solve his murder to my satisfaction. In fact, I put the final puzzle pieces together very recently. The context of this deranged woman's crime is much more clear to me. I want to wait until more facts emerge before saying anything else. I'm relatively certain that I know who set this up but at this time I don't want to go out in a limb. I predict that the truth will come out and many people will be surprised. This was a terrible crime against a very significant artist, and it sucks.

    The Active brand. Pretty sure we had the Dirty labs one before but never paused the washer to give the enzymes longer to work. I do use the Dirty labs dishwasher powder and that's been working well.

    I’m glad it went well! It’s demanding and exciting to be in a group where expectations are set at a high level, or unusual parameters are set. I’m recalling my own college choir days, although half the time I was pressed into the role of accompanist. There’s so much great choral music.

    Speaking of which, I had to charge my phone charger at my secret place for doing that last night. I've mostly stopped eating sugar. I have/ had a sugar tooth. I took a notion to go to the convenience store. I spent $3.21 on an X-Large fountain soda and one creme filled donut with chocolate icing. As if to prove the point, I actually got sick. Boy, when you stop eating this stuff and then you eat it, your body lets you know about it.
