I picked up this Shun knife set yesterday at 40% off but still happy with that deal. I received the same chef’s knife as a Christmas gift a few years ago, so I was excited to see a set with an extra slot in the block. They also had a very nice set of Miyabi knives left. But beside that, there wasn’t much left. I had my eye on a few scanpan cookware but they were gone.

The substitutions usually work out in our favor. For this week’s delivery though, I ordered three of the crystal light flavor squirt bottles for the kids. They substituted it all with a caffeinated version. Definitely not giving that to the kids and glad I saw it before they used it.

The delivery is legit. I subscribed to the unlimited deliveries for $100 per year. I do at least one delivery per week and have started to have some delivered to my parents’ house so they don’t have to venture out to the grocery stores.

I’ve been getting my crabs and crawfish from a guy in Gonzales by Ralph’s, Doghouse Seafood

He posted today that he had a bushel of #2s for $100.

If I could live through a vasectomy conscious, especially with the smell of the cauterization, I think I would be ok with being awake if I had to.

Thanks again for all the info. You definitely helped alleviate some of the thoughts running through my mind.

Hope to update this thread in 6-8 weeks and hopefully again months after that. :cheers:

Will definitely drop everything to go donate if all works out.

Three objectives for my post:

Find out what donating is like
Give a call to action for others to join the registry
And yes, brag that I have been given a chance to try to save someone’s life

:cheers:

About five years back, there was a local girl around 10 years old that was in need of a bone marrow transplant. One of my friends asked me to join the Be The Match registry. I ended up not being a match. Every now and then, I get the email asking to confirm that I want to remain on the registry. Other than that, I never think about it.

Yesterday I get a call from an unknown Houston number. I usually let these calls go to voicemail, but for some reason I answered. The person introduced themself and said they were from Be The Match and said that I’m a potential match for someone with a blood disease. This person had exhausted all options of testing relatives for a match, so they went to the registry.

To say that I’m excited to be able to donate is an understatement.

It especially hit me in the feels when they shared this video with me to post to my Facebook: LINK

I searched and saw a few posts about the registry from earlier this year.

Has anyone donated bone marrow for a transplant? There’s two options to donate. One is where they put you under and extract it from your pelvic bone. The other is by getting a shot that increases bone marrow production, causing it to flow into your blood stream where they extract in a manner similar to dialysis. There’s pros and cons to each.

Also, please consider joining the registry: LINK You could possibly save a life.

I got the same Calloway rangefinder on prime day for $150. Have enjoyed using it so far.

I like being able to walk through my house and go through the fridge to see what we need. We have the delivery option where Walmart partners with DoorDash. I use it almost every week. $10 per delivery plus tip. Walmart recently announced that they’ll be doing a $100 per year subscription service for unlimited deliveries. Will definitely be signing up for that.

I can’t go to Church Point to visit my wife’s family without stopping at Sunny’s. Not sure if it’s considered a hole in the wall chicken place but Church Point is definitely a hole in the wall town.

Used it in Vancouver last year with no issues. I keep it on my plan now for future international travel. Unlike their previous discounted international packages that charged you monthly, it only charges you each day you use it out of the country. My wife has it on her phone and has used it for work in South Korea, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium.

ETA: for all the international trips, it has used the standard package that we subscribe to plus the $10 per day. There are some countries that are excluded from the day pass.
