With everyone overbooked you don't get to choose fair weather here in the Twin Cities. Been like that for the last 20 years. I won't do it for replacement but new constructions a different matter. Certainly won't do lightweight shingles. Mine are the heaver Timberline architecture relief ones and I know it was cold when they were placed, can't remember but think it was early winter. Now in their 16th year. Even survived the golf ball sized hail a fews years back. I was pretty amazed after walking the roof afterwords. Was expecting more than just a couple broken edges but that was about it.
The description mentioned children in the 10-12 year old range, and playgrounds. It reminded me of the girls, but the show itself was a completely different angle.
Most of my neighborhood is on pretty decent sized lots, some fairly large. There are a handful of 40x120s that are grandfathered in. Neighbor is on one of those. The house next door to her was on two 40's, so 80x120 but they tore it down (it was trash) and since it was originally platted as 40z120 amd 40x120 they let them build two house, each on a 40. Kinda just an old grandfather in situation. I just wish they had mitigated the height by going with a flat roof.
As much as it could be a better design and as much my neighbor is going to hate it, it will increase the value of her property. The old landscape architect in me looked at the sun angles and at least reassured her that the new house will not shade out her electric English style garden.
Not too badly. Iowans were portrayed as normal small-town folk, with gossip and kids too immersed in computers for their own good. "Hamelin" referred to an old fable. A little more detailed story-line:
Basically, a guy steals kids using hypnotic emails because of small town gossip. No kids were directly harmed (although one injured herself while in a trance state), and none of the stolen kids died.
So excited about the big win that you threw caution to the wind and got yourself knocked up!!!
Just wanted you all to know that yesterday I went in for a routine physical and before I left I agreed to the first (of two) shingles shots this year. A little trepidation based on what I've heard and read here, but so far just a slight soreness when I rub that area of my arm. Hope that's the extent of the potential bad side effects. At least I didn't get hives.
Only two alleys in the whole neighborhood, maybe in the whole city and I live on one. Rare enough that substitute snow plow drivers don't know they are there and forget to plow them.

A) my sore arm lasted for almost a week, but sounds like I reacted a little more than you did
B) the shingles that I got were totally unrelated to the shot, and were probably a much milder version of what I would have had without immunization
C) NONE of that will prevent me from getting the second shot next month.
Good on you for getting immunized!
Does that mean you have a 1 in 6 chance to become autistic? Or what is supposed to happen to you when you get immunized again. I’m too old for the kid shots and too young for the codger shots.
Or is that why all the old folks are getting hepatitis? Or is that the clap? You guys did have that free era culture.
I not sure about any of this. One day I will see a doctor, probably come summer time. The dr neighbor still mows his lawn.
I've been debating bringing up getting tested for hep C with my doc. I had mono when I was 18 and had hepatitis along with it. From what I've been reading on it, it was a fairly common virus back then, and can remain in the body but inactive (like the varicella-zoster virus that causes chicken pox). It doesn't pop up with a new intense symptoms like shingles, but instead can quietly wreak havoc on your liver, and you don't even know it. Seems reasonable to check to make sure I'm not harboring it, ya know?
I got vaccinated against Hep A, B & C when I was supposed to go to India 10 years ago. I have no idea if those are for life or if you would need a booster at some point.
Go with papaLew and see if you can get a 2fer discount. Seriously, if you know you have had it, it would probably be prudent to at least get screened for it.
JC are you still good with the shutdown? Hard to see all of these controllers not getting paid.
