My wife and I watched that when it was actually on TV. It started out good but did have it's ups and downs. Sometimes it was a struggle to get through and I think they started running out of ideas. The finale was pretty good though.

I've actually fallen behind on my book reading. I've got at least 3 or 4 new books sitting on my shelves that I haven't even started on yet. Just got "Will" (Will Smith's autobiography) for Christmas. Have had Stephen King's "Billy Summers" on my shelves for a couple of months now. I also picked up "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" this past summer.

Traditional: Any instrumental version of Carol of the Bells. (credit to Quin) Contemporary: Mary Did You Know - Kenny Rogers & Wynonna Judd Baby it's cold outside - Barry Manilow & K.T. Oslin Dan Fogelberg ~ Same Old Lang Syne Novelty: Way too many. I have a ton of them.

Same. Although the brand I like seems to get harder to find every year.

This looks pretty cool. https://www.autoblog.com/2021/11/16/adaptive-high-beams-finally-legal/?icid=autoblog|trend|adaptive-driving-beams-are-finally-going-to-be-legal-in-the-u.s.

The ones where you sign up for free or reduced price X number of days or weeks or whatever and if you forget to call to cancel that it automatically renews at the "regular" price. Although calling up and simply threatening to cancel when you just want to get lower price for another 6 months is a common tactic to combat this.

Green goblin's laugh and one of his bombs were in the trailer they released weeks ago...

Theft of catalytic converters has been happening for many, many years. RVs are particularly vulnerable since they typically have a lot of ground clearance and sit in unsecured storage lots for months at a time.

I don't have any more free time now than I ever did before, I've never been one to sit down and watch an entire game start to finish. I'd check in for a few minutes to see the scores but that was about it. I have the field of dreams game recorded on my DVR and have yet to watch it all.

Luckily social media didn't exist back then to spread the stupidity.

Yes, get the vaccine but also hope you don't need to go to the hospital for any reason at all. https://news.yahoo.com/alabama-man-dies-cardiac-event-223018300.html?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9tLmZhcmsuY29tLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADLUHRQaQkad56IHE2fpLWo2UE3lO7AzOGWQ1O9yMaAFH0wTZTS2OJZBFelddpfrQZYn3x-KeGQ-WkkEwEJVShZvZ4KW-SudZKLNbL4P0HF4lIqzjpMdq6vwPnUQRU0oPDsgJS81tNR8Cjo7GRhibwQA6ZpEmN_xXjCfVuklFTuR&guccounter=2 https://www.texastribune.org/2021/08/23/texas-hospital-icu-capacity/

This country decided a long time ago that public heath > personal choice. It's why we can't smoke in buildings anymore. It's why there are certain codes and restrictions restaurants have to follow for food handling. It's why babies have to have X number of shots before they even leave the hospital when they are born. Then X number in the many years afterwards including the numerous vaccines required for attending school. This is not new.

We gutted our entire kitchen for around $12K about 5 year ago.

I didn't think the HIMYM ending was all that bad. I never understood the hate it got. The ending of the original Rosanne was an all-time WTF moment though. Although with the new show they basically erased the entire final season.

So you believe that all these people that are out there not wearing masks, spreading the virus everywhere, filling up our hospital ICUs, stressing our health care workers to the breaking point and essentially prolonging this pandemic waay past when it should have been over need to have a voice? Need to be "heard"? Need to have someone in their corner justifying their moronic ideas and actions? Good to know...

You think if I could find 42 more stories like this (and I bet I can) it would scare the vaccine-hesitant into actually wanting to get the shot? https://www.yahoo.com/news/25-old-had-double-lung-122554850.html

True. Some just have 1500+ posts on a random baseball message board. Then continually claim they aren't really an anti-vaxxer but a "voice" for them.

It's amazing how many times I've read stories exactly like this. Unvaccinated person dies, everyone that knows them immediately goes out and gets vaccinated. Person who was loudly anti-vax/anti-mask dies of Covid. It's an easy pattern to spot, yet it seems to keep happening every. single. day. At this point it's difficult to muster up any sympathy for these people.

I have Synchrony for my Discount Tire card and my Care Credit card that I had to use when my dog got surgery. They've been pretty good.

Same.

I'm confused. Did they show up and then just leave again? Why didn't they install it?

Those stories are few and far between. Again, just like with most things in life, it's not 100%. Even many birth controls are only 99% effective. That doesn't mean people should just stop using them if they want to prevent pregnancy. The information is out there. You just have to look for it instead of waiting for the media to spoon-feed it to you. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html Myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. As of September 8, 2021, VAERS has received 1,413 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis among people ages 30 and younger who received COVID-19 vaccine. Most cases have been reported after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), particularly in male adolescents and young adults. Through follow-up, including medical record reviews, CDC and FDA have confirmed 854 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis. CDC and its partners are investigating these reports to assess whether there is a relationship to COVID-19 vaccination. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis. Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. More than 380 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through September 13, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 7,653 reports of death (0.0020%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.

What are you considering "physical" problems? And yes of course people are dying after having been vaccinated. It was never said to be 100% guaranteed to make you not die. That's not an excuse to not get it. That's like not wearing your seat belt because you've heard one or two stories about people dying while still wearing them. AFAIK, nobody has died because of the vaccine either.
