I get emails from dicks fans shop. I don’t open out of thinking it’s Pant’s site.

Had a friend who was ordering wrestling shoes for her son. Typed in dicks and said she learned to add sporting goods then.
My wife did the same thing while shopping for ice skates. The first item that popped up said "dicks, dicks and more dicks".

I wish there was a sporting goods store named bewbs.

Not exactly sure.
Had to put mom's garbage out. She was supposed to send something back to life alert, stuff that was not functional in our area, I knew this and told her the UPS driver would be arriving. She managed to decide that this company that sent her a backbrace she didn't order 3 years ago wanted it back and that's what UPS was asking for. So she packaging the stupid thing up and gave it to the UPS guy. Life alert is going to be confused with that package.

I just had to call to get their address so I could ship the right stuff back to them to save me 40 bucks a month.

Anyone have tips getting rid of fruit flies? Got a bad case at our house.
We put out a shallow dish with apple cider vinegar and a couple drops of dish soap, near where they like to congregate. The vinegar sucks them in, and the dish soap keeps them from escaping. We've caught dozens in a night using this method.

I don't think you can do that in the incognito windows she's always using.


Ok, help me with this incognito thing. I see it on my phone (at least on my old android I did) but I didn't know why it was there. What is the purpose of it? Does it hide your search so you can pull up porn and the boss doesn't know?

At first I thought it was a pic of KC as a baby...

Curiosity finally got to me on what the woman was wearing in the ad so I clicked on it. It is a Tankini, o.....k.....?

Positive part, swimsuit women are back.

Rule number one: never send unsolicited **** pics. If you get a **** pic from me, it’s because you explicitly asked for it.

Watching this ad that has replaced my swimsuit women, think its a nightgown. Otherwise it's one of those oversized T-shirts that some women try to claim as a dress. We had a girl in church wear that type of stuff about 7-8 years ago. Was always concerned when she helped collect offering, that she might have a check or cash fly out of the plate and she would have to bend over to pick it up. Some folks would probably have gotten one heck of a view.

Side note, she girl ends up marrying possibly one of the dumbest guys I have ever encountered. One of those that actually slightly slurs his words kinda dumb.
My nieces and nephews and my daughter go to Catholic schools. They have uniforms at both schools and a dress code for when they are able to go non uniform. I went to my nephew's first communion and was appalled that they let his teacher wear an extremely short dress to the First Communion mass that would have gotten any student sent home for the day or worse. It was so short you could just about see her underwear when she was standing up straight. Now with the new principal at my daughter's school the teachers are starting to wear short dresses that are a huge violation of the dress code. In a previous year my daughter got into trouble because her uniform skort that was actually a little big for her at the start of the school year was getting a little short by the end of it because she had grown so much.

If you want to have rules like that, make sure the faculty and staff are setting the example.

Now there is a good book! It led me into reading some other mountaineering books. Even though Everest is supposedly a giant long slog reading that cured me of entertaining that idea even if I had the money. Now a trip through Nepal with maybe a stop at Base Camp so I could see Everest would be pretty darn neat. Not too expensive it doesn't seem once you get there. Getting there would be the kicker though.
Most of the accidents/deaths actually occur during a trek across the Khumbu ice fall, which you have to cross to get from base camp to camp 1, IIRC.

Winner. That is the combination that we have been using. Dish soap coats their wings so they can't fly out of the vinegar. They can get out of straight water or vinegar. We have never had a problem in our 14 years in this house until this year.

Can we see your photo library from that first communion? I'm guessing somebody is in all of them. :)

Slightly cavey. Minnesota folks - have you seen the Dean Phillips political ads (both pro and con)? I have no idea what he's running for but this is the most bizarre campaign I've ever seen. Basically, he is somewhere between Mother Theresa and Idi Amin.

That could describe probably 90% of the world's population.

I've seen it on my computer but never on my phone. I think your boss would know if there's a decent IS department. I think the purpose is more so for the younger generation to hide their history from their parents and nosy friends. Now that I'm in the stay our of my yard phase of life I can't see myself ever using it.
