November 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 13, 2013 -> 03:01 PM) Anyone use Dollar Shave Club? I do. Love it. I always a new razor every week. The $1/mo is actually $3/mo with shipping, but still worth it. I never think twice.

November 14, 201312 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 07:44 AM) My wife's grandfather, a 90 year old WWII vet who fought at Normandy, died last night. Not very many WWII vets left. My condolences. I was hanging with my grandpa yesterday. He's 91, fought for the Polish Army during the war, spent several years in a Russian POW camp.
November 14, 201312 yr My grandfather passed a while back. He fought in the Pacific Theater. I really wasn't old enough to understand what it meant that he fought in the war when he died. All I knew, funny enough, was that grandpa had four belly buttons. That is, he had one belly button and four permanent indentions from the gunshots. I later found out that I very nearly didn't have grandfather (and thus, no mother and thus, no me). Once upon a time, a grenade came in his bunker. Next thing you know, grandpa is laying on this grenade, hoping to save his buddies. It was a dud. Thank goodness

November 16, 201312 yr After about 4 1/2 hours of lockdown on campus for a possible gunman, we've finally gotten the all clear. Only 1 round was fired.

November 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 18, 2013 -> 11:57 AM) Sigh...Has anyone here dealt with racoons in the attic? I dealt with many raccoons in our barn when I was growing up. A .22 solves the problem. Though probably not a good idea if you live in the city.
November 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 18, 2013 -> 11:57 AM) Sigh...Has anyone here dealt with racoons in the attic? Yep. either trap and release far far far away, or get an exterminator. They will come back. And, you better find their point of entry and block it up good

There's a hole in the roof..It's an "unfinished" attic meaning its just beams up there to walk on, I don't trust myself to get up there and not end up f***ing the ceiling

November 18, 201312 yr It's amazing how much volunteering to host Thanksgiving at our house inspires us to clean. The really deep once-a-year type cleaning where we just go through the house and start throwing out crap that we haven't seen or used in who knows how long. We are probably going to end up filling our suburban up with bags of stuff to take to the goodwill.
November 18, 201312 yr Random question - anyone collect coins or stamps? I was at a fundraiser a couple of weeks ago and ended up winning an assortment of coins and stamps. They're supposedly valued at about $1,000 (for a $40 donation...not bad!). Anyways, one of the stamps in particular was valued at $400 bucks. Some used 1920's stamp from a zeppelin flight or something. I have no idea where to go to (1) get an idea of what this stuff is worth, (2) whether it's worth holding on to, and if not (3) where to sell them.

There used to be coin and stamp stores, but I would assume those are all gone. You should try and see if anyone is selling the same ones on ebay.

November 18, 201312 yr I know there's still a store open across from the Daley Center in the temple building. I just wonder how much this stuff really appreciates in value over time. I'll probably just throw it in a safe and give it to my kid(s) one day.

I've read a "stat" that 80% of the time there is babies involved. If you trap the female the babies will die and stink up the house.

There's still a store in Hawthorn mall if you're near the North suburbs as well.
