Based on his character in the show and his interviews, I was more than a little surprised to see she was a woman.
Same - just like Eric Stonestreet after watching 11 seasons of Modern Family. It cracks me up when I see him on sports shows talking about his extreme Chiefs Fandom and his wife and kids.

this show kind of lost me in the last two eps.
it started off great but now not so sure.
This show is very bipolar to me, too. Eps 1-4 were GREAT TV. Since then, it's been alternating between great and 'WTF did I just watch?' It's definitely very Severance-like in that aspect. I'm hanging with it because I have to know how it pans out.
FWIW- I gave up on Severance mid way through Season 2. I got so lost on what exactly was going on, I quit watching.

Do you remember How much did you pay in premiums over that time?

Bump- $168.94 & $43.92… pretty disappointing, but I’ll take it

Wonder if this is going to entice farmers that previously turned their soybean fields into solar farms to go back to soybeans :lol:
I know it's not really that easy to get out of a solar lease, but those fields seem to have just gotten a lot more valuable.

My dad is a delivery driver for Honeybaked Hams. I think he gets $15/hour, ham or turkey at the holidays and the boss offers him a sandwich pretty much every time he's on the clock. Last week, they overmade for a catering order and they gave him the extras 5 sandwiches. Not a bad fringe benefit.
It's not every day, but he probably works 10-15 hours a week. He used to deliver for Nothing Bundt Cakes, too, but they shifted all their deliveries to DoorDash.
Check with the dealerships to see if they need a courtesy car driver or Enterprise to shuttle cars from one agency to another. These are the kind of jobs I'd like to pursue when I retire.

Kickin’ Kay Lynne with bacon, cheese, jalapeño and hot sauce is my favorite. Lauren’s Lemon Basil is also really good.
It’s a nice lunch that’s not fried. I usually get a 2 or 3 scoop meal so I can have different flavors, and a pile of delicious crackers to go with it.

Everybody I know that has been down there has raved about it. I’ve got a few trips south over the next couple of weeks for camp drop off/pick up, and I was thinking about making a stop for lunch next Sunday. It’s a brunch buffet menu, but for $20/person, it looks pretty solid.

could power wash 24/7. I am tempted to power wash my power washer.
I need to power wash my patio again. Last time I did it, it took 2 hours to do about 1/4 of it. Then I found out my brother had a power washing disc. The remaining 3/4 took about 2 hours. It’s like running a vacuum over the grime- amazing.
I don’t mind detailing/vacuuming the car, but I only do it in spring/fall when it’s not 112 degrees and 980% humidity.

The previous high was $900ish and they'd paid $80k in premiums.
Damn- I think I paid $50-60K through the 5 year period. I’m pretty sure it was always over $1K/month for the 4 of us

This gives me hope. For the time of the claim, we were self employed so we paid thousands of dollars per year. I went and dug up our old tax returns to submit the figures. I’m going to be a little upset if I only get $300. I’ll still cash the check, though :lol:

As it happened, and Deborah said goodnight to Ava in Paris as they smoke looking at the Eiffel Tower, I thought Deborah was gonna die in her sleep and then Ava is sitting there waiting for her to wake up with her treatment options
I thought Deborah was going to leave her at the restaurant so Ava wouldn’t try and stop her.
There could definitely be a spinoff with the new agency and the new show.

Can you be flexible with dates? Google Travel has a great calendar with prices for each day. I think you can also make your airport flexible, too so they can include prices for other surrounding airports

Costco hasn't implemented their version of scanNgo because they've shown that from in to out the door, it doesn't save their shoppers time.
I don’t believe any of that. How could it possibly not save time to scan as you shop instead of waiting in line at the end? Only way I can see this being true is if you have a large portion of your customer base that can’t do it right and have to be stopped on the way out. I’ve only been stopped one or two times coming out of Sam’s for either forgetting to scan an item or still having an item scanned that I ended up putting back.

All the things previous mentioned, and their produce is significantly cheaper. 6 heads of Romaine lettuce for the same price as 3 in Wal-Mart. Apples, fresh and frozen broccoli, riced cauliflower, etc. if you have the freezer room, it’s definitely worth it.
Protein shakes, club $2 pizza slices and $9 full pizzas, cheaper wine (not cheaper than Total Wine), delicious cakes (sheet cakes and cookie cakes). Grab and go meals like the taco kit, chicken Alfredo, enchiladas. Chicken salad needs a little work- I add brown mustard, pickles and celery seed
This might be a coincidence, but I find more often than not that my cart averages out to $10/item.
ETA: my parents and brother have a card on our account, and the cash back pays for the renewal every year, plus $50-75.

I'm talking about trailers to move things

The bigger question for me is why would you want t
Because it’s Louisiana in June, July and August and synthetics are generally lighter and breezier.
Fishing/golf shorts and shirts are the closest I’m willing to get to being naked in public
I’ve known people in the past to ‘flip’ trailers. Buy a dump for $2500, put $3000 in it, then owner finance it for $7500 and 10% interest. I think the premise is that you can ‘sell’ the same $7500 trailer 3-4 times because they always fall behind on their payments and get it repo’d.
I’m not sure how much they made in the long run, but it seems like a pretty low risk, high reward strategy.

usually hit the UA Factory Outlet store for these. If you time the holiday sale, you can get them for 50% or more off.
I have 2 pair from the website and 1 from the outlet, and you can tell difference between the 2. The back pocket in the outlet shorts barely fits my wallet. The outlet shorts are maybe a hair smaller in the waist, too.
I have some old Columbia fishing shorts that I got back in 2017 that have held up well, too. Super light weight, very comfortable
re: Anyone got a rec for some good summer shorts?

Cotton or polyester. I caught some Lululemon shorts on sale last year for $39 that I really like. Before that, Under Armour Golf Shorts were what I wore- they have a bit of stretch in the waist which is nice, but they are a little long- some are 10” inseam.

think it's massively over diagnosed.
I think it’s more like autism- there’s a spectrum and the spectrum keeps expanding. People that used to be ‘a little off’ or ‘weird’ are now on the have anxious/depressive or autistic tendencies. If you make the spectrum wide enough, then we’re all on it.
Used to be called a worry wart, now it’s an anxiety disorder and it ‘needs’ to be treated with medication.
