311 here for non-emergency.

Nice! But us younger ones will never see this. Pun intended! If I make it 10 years, I will be bumping into crap like my 15 year old cat.

First world problems... Gee... Coulda just threw it away in first place... That's what the savants @ The PO were hoping you'd do, they do it & it's Leavenworth for them.😜 Oh... Anything good? Like the previous resident's PornoMags?

Yes. Hope they sent your punk azz to a Turkish prison!

A vacay that you can't see?😏 Lots of people want the money so they aren't homeless... Who can afford $3-$6k!!!! Per eye? 😆 🤣 Medical debt is #1 leading cause of bankruptcy...

That's NOT what the bill collector says... They will attempt to get blood out of a stone... Hard pass... I'll go blind thank you! Only gonna get worse for the younger ones... Yeah... Worth more dead than alive. My father went almost totally blind from glaucoma. [Sorry to be depressing, but something always gives]

😆🤣 I guess I am going blind...

Kill switch, deadman cable staying grounded to coil OR grounded on a piece of metal somewhere... Bypass that ***** -er is the first thing. Just say safe and don't have a heart attack while mowing. LoL... That will give you hit and miss starts, frustrating the way they design some mowers, etc... I can't kill my mower after 20 years, a Honda... Which I think those basstards stopped making gas mowers in US. I'd squeeze together the kill lever high on engine with a cable tie, one easy way to stop it was to choke it from getting air by air cleaner... lol

...12k PER EYE! On high-end... lol... My luck I'll need the expensive treatment. 😔... "The average cost of cataract surgery in the United States typically ranges from $1,808 to $11,730 per eye, depending on various factors such as the type of procedure and the intraocular lens used. Insurance coverage can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses, so it's important to check with your provider for specific details."

Does insurance cover it? The way it's going now... We won't be able to afford it... Probably be cut out of benefits. Like a bunch of years ago, went in for colonoscopy and the anesthesiologist charged 2 grand... I pay $300 every 2 weeks for health, employer picks up $700... That's $18 grand a year... I ain't going back. I guess I will go blind and die of cancer... Healthcare is like a drug dealers, killing the customer one way or another...

Fixed every year? I haven't repaired my gas mower in years... What are you doing to yours? Always keep it full with gas. Right to top! I do absolutely nothing, except fill and put it in garage... Let it sit all winter too

The PO is the cornerstone of democracy, first thing we establish when we nation build. Reason why we have roads, etc... My wife is the #1 PostOffice FanGirl. They can do no wrong... Even when my sister sent a Vermont wreath to us that burned 🔥 up in a postal truck fire (so they say) in Nashua, New Hampshire... She blamed it on my sister's packaging. 😆 Dear Abby, I think she's cheating on me with a postal carrier... Postal Envy in Illinois.

SocialMedia will wreck us all, be our undoing... But still decent video.

Check out the calf... 😔 All the crazy stuff it's doing right now to some, this gives humanity a good name.

I am attacking Alaska from Kamchatka, prepare to defend yourself:

😔RIP

First Edition was in 1986. Just imagine how this would get ripped today! Share everything? I asked my wife this question today, I knew the answer before she could even speak it: "Share, be welcoming, & wait your turn."

Shave. Just grow into Cousin It.😉

Don't...

Not really a fan... IMO overrated... But like some of his music. RIP...

RIP...

Almost approaching 30th year of Jerry Garcia's death. The 'Days Between'.... August 1st & August 9th, the 8 days between his birth & death... "We're like licorice. Not everyone likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really, really like licorice." ~Jerry Garcia NOT sure if I posted this. Franklin's tower, 5/9/77....BFLo Memorial Aud: Clicking on all cylinders that year... Even when Garcia screwed up lyrics. Every song is a new song! The story behind it: "As you probably know, Robert Hunter has a great of love of American History. The song is about events during the American revolution. 'Franklin' refers to Benjamin Franklin. The 'Bell' in the tower is the Liberty Bell. Casting large metal objects is a complicated process. Casting bells is additonally complicated by the fact that bells must be able to withstand the stress of ringing, and they must produce a good tone. The Liberty Bell was not only very large, but it needed to ring loudly and clearly enough to be heard around the world. This was pushing the limits of 18th century technology. As you probably know, Benjamin Franklin was not only a philosopher and statesman, he was an inventor. He was involved in the design of the Liberty Bell in the following way: Franklin postulated that a process which he called "dewing" could be used to improve the production process of large bells. Dewing basically involves exposing the freshly cast bell to large quantities of steam while the bell is still hot. The steam causes a rapid cooling, producing droplet of 'dew' on the bell. After the dew is formed, the bell is rolled between large cotton sheets. He described this process as "rolling away the dew". Unfortunately, Franklin's contempories had a very hard time understanding his technology. He showed them sample bells, asking him to simply look at the results without trying to understand the process. This was when he uttered the now famous quote, "if you get confused, listen to the music play." In the end, Franklin couldn't convince the foundry to use his dewing process. Instead they used an alternate process developed by a Frenchman named Simon Legree (who eventually turned out to be a British agent). Simon's process involved planting small ice crystals (seeds) into the metal while the bell was being cast. As we all know, the Liberty Bell didn't last very long. I believe it had one good ring, but you can't really tell because it was so long ago. Apparently the one time it was rung was during a storm. After ringing, the famous crack developed in the side of the bell and the wind blew through the crack. They tried ringing the bell again, but the only sound was of the wind blowing through the crack. Benjamin Franklin was understandably disgusted. When asked later about the incident, his only comment was "They planted ice, so they harvested wind." The ice refers to an alternate dewing process they used at the suggestion of a rival inventor (I'll spare you the details, but he turned out to be quite a Tory). The wind, of course, is the lack of sound from subseqent ringings." https://people.well.com/conf/deadsongs.vue/topics/77/Franklin-s-Tower-page01.html

Ha! You got all 7 nailed!

#5/7 https://geediting.com/b-phrases-men-use-when-theyve-settled-for-emptiness-instead-of-joy-according-to-psychology/ "5) “I’m just tired.” When someone repeatedly says, “I’m just tired,” it might not always be physical fatigue they’re referring to. From personal experience, I’ve found that this phrase is often a subtle way of expressing emotional or mental exhaustion. Psychoanalyst Carl Jung once said, “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.” When we’re constantly saying we’re tired without a physical reason, it might be time to look inside. The frequent use of “I’m just tired” can suggest an acceptance of emotional exhaustion as a norm, a settling into a state of emptiness. Recognizing this pattern can awaken us to the need for change and to strive for joy in our lives."
