Funny, we just bought a new stove (FINALLY!), called an electrician to fit a new socket as the old one sticks out of the wall and it can be flush. "Sure, is 10.30am tomorrow OK?" No show, no email, no socket, no nothing. Still, it's better than the guy who was supposed to install our new deck who did pretty much the same thing after taking $4000 of our finest American dollars. "Sorry, my father just passed away", "Sorry I'm not going to be able to do it this year", "Sure, I'll arrange for a refund"...."Sorry, I thought my office had already taken care of that".....".....silence...." Asshole.

Drumsticks for me, though last couple of times at KFC we had their 'boneless bucket'.

That makes it around 70 year old.

Nope

We’re running into a small hangup. Our regular bank has a 30¢ transaction fee for all transactions over 300. I’m reaching out to the billing processor to see if they aggregate the payments daily or if every invoice is deposited separately.

That guy's a monkey in a human suit.

Interesting. Got me to lookup whether organ transplants between identical twins require immunosuppressants, and the answer is negative.

Are those unsolicited offers "better" than they one you get from your credit union? Just trying to see if you benefit from FICA selling your information to other lenders.

Yep. That's three months income to put into investments. You don't get opportunities to get ahead like that often.

Some dramatic crashes during the last 5k into Dunkirk yesterday, stage 3. One chap somersaults into the barrier, also the Green Jersey leader out with a broken collar bone. Busy day for les paramedics

The latest information is the girl fell through a porthole while her family was playing shuffleboard. I'm surprised there isn't more information, pictures, or footage of exactly what happened (I guess Disney is controlling that), but some folks are saying all the portholes have plexiglass, others are saying some portholes don't, but I'd have to imagine this is a negligence nightmare for Disney if a child could somehow fall through one. I'm also surprised (but also not) that we haven't seen the dad/child doing tv interviews yet.

It’s the city of Hebron which is in the West Bank. So what they’re proposing is succession from the Palestinian Territories, they form an Emirate (like the gulf states but with no oil or money) and they’d recognize Israel.

Sorry for you and your family's loss even if a partial blessing. My father suffered from dementia - and my brothers and I fear our futures. All of us would rather die too soon than too late. I really can't say when I lost contact with the person I thought of as my father - though it seemed to come post surgery, perhaps from some mini-strokes.
