She's in the hands of the best! My mom's brother had cancer and the local Dr's told him there was nothing they could do so he went to the Cleveland Clinic. They found other affected body parts and came up with a treatment plan. He said it gave him several years that he never expected to have.

We have a mouse issue (not like the Geico commercial!) It happened once before when we left a cabinet on the front porch and Mickey and friends took shelter in the base so we unknowingly brought them in the house. Went to Lowes and grabbed a couple of the traps and the issue was gone in just a few days. This time, I presume they came in through boxes delivered to the house. I thought I saw one downstairs but before I got to go get traps again, one made it's way to the first floor bathroom. I went to Ace Hardware and got the Tomcat traps (they only had one style, which only opens about the thickness of my thumb)...needless to say, they were not resolving the problem. I went Lowes and got the ones like I had before that open about 90 degrees and they've been going for the peanut butter fairly regularly. Now I apparently have a smarter one as the one trap which has been the most successful, it keeps eating the peanut butter but not tripping it! This time I loaded it so it would activate with less pressure AND put some back farther on the hinge to make it stick its head in farther. Just looked, it took the peanut butter at the end, left the one back in farther and yep, didn't trip it! At this rate, it's going to die of heart disease or obesity!

Hobby Lobby re-opening

Since all the shows have been cancelled this year (so far) I grabbed this here. Wish they would make a four food version... -
Nothing automotive at the one near me. Several military ships and planes. I did grab one of the two Scooby Doo biplanes.

As I taught both my boys when they were young and in their car seats.....the pick-n-flick. Sometimes your nose itches and when scratching you excavate a moon rock and need to dispose of it.....right out the car window (so long as the car is not in motion or it will come back in).

I go by the philosophy of a local guy who came back from WWII and realized that if you give kids a place to play and help them organize sports, they stay out of trouble. 70 years later that organization STILL exists and offers baseball, softball and basketball from youth to 8th grade. I've bought cheap kits and given them to co-workers kids or friends of my sons to get the kids off the electronics. My teenager goes with me to the Cars-n-Coffee events and I teach him the history of the older cars and as well as the high end stuff so he ends up buying kits and die casts. I do the same with Hot Wheels at Halloween to give them a break from vegitating in front of the TV -
No but she had a great sense of humor so we could both laugh it off..... Ironically, my wife of almost 23 years is left handed (different woman)

I was in my early twenties and got set up with a beautiful, tall blonde (through a mutual friend) that was left handed. Had an absolute text book perfect first date.....until the kiss goodnight and we tilted our heads (didn't take into account lefties tilt left) resulted in a head butt.

Never did I imagine that I would ever say 'watching an NHL playoff game' for my birthday (today) but to watch the Blue Jackets come back from a 3-0 deficit to win in overtime was a great ending to the day Made Jambalaya with alligator sausage and shrimp for dinner.

Just found out from a co-worker who had plans attending

This was my first import and I didn't think about it until the battery died. Has to use an adjustable wrench to get the cables off and bought a set of metric sockets the next day. I was single and under 30 (neither good for insurance on a car like this). There was a 25% surcharge on the ES or the RT because of the 24v version of the 3 litre. Even with a spotless driving record, they wouldn't talk about insuring these.

Amen! I have one son finishing up college and one in jr high. I'm disappointed that they teach kids even less life skills now than when I went!! No home ec, no auto mechanics, no wood shop! My oldest was working for a catering company when one of the vans wouldn't start after and event. There was about 20 people standing around with no clue what to do so my sons grabbed jumper cables and started it. Even more shocking is the number of kids not playing sports. Last year in rec league baseball, my youngest played one team that had to forfeit (played the game for experience) as they only had eight kids? He had another game that the opponent had to reschedule as they only have nine kids on the team and only ONE pitcher (they had played the day before so do to the pitch count he couldn't pitch back to back...their relief pitchers threw like Ricky Vaughn!) Nine years ago when my oldest played these same teams, they had enough players to field two and three teams respectively!

No definitive date..... I had a base model...still miss that car. I wanted either the blue or the dark green, but it was two years old with 13k miles and $4,000 below market so silver was okay! Sports car that was still usable in the winter because of the FWD, except when we had a freak storm that dumped over a foot of snow (only had about 5" of ground clearance).

I found that after moving the wife divided box contents into "keep" and "why did we even keep this".
