Does Supercuts count as a beauty salon?

A guy I used to work with was big like that, and had some medical issues that required surgery, basically they removed so much of his stomach that he was going to be on a liquid diet the rest of his life. Saw him years later and he had lost so much weight the only reason I knew it was him was by his voice. At least there were employees working. Here in Syracuse back over the summer there was a day the employees just left, so customers were going behind the counter and just taking keys to the cars they thought were for them... Hertz staff abandoned post at Syracuse airport, so people just took random cars (report) - syracuse.com

Went and saw TSO this past weekend, or as DCTom would call it, Grandma's Heavy Metal concert. Fifth time seeing them, but the first time for a different story. We usually get the girl sleeping in the theater, who ends up going home. This year we got the business man who gave up his son after he was born. I liked the girl in the theater story better. Different stage setup also. So was it worth it, yes, since it was different than other years.

My wife's family will have over 30 every year. Even though they've been doing this for decades, they still have to discuss and debate who is bringing what every year.

Don't forget to check out "Christmas In The Spotlight" on Lifetime for your "based on a true story" pop star and football player romance.

Got the email from the Bills, season ticket holders will see charges for playoff tickets Jan 6th, unless you opted out of the automatic sale plan. Extras can be purchased December 12th.

I used to take a former car to the dealer for service, it seemed every time my bill would be $3XX. I joked one time that I wondered if someone had a car payment due.

The title says it all, what song or songs bothers you the most? I'll start...

Actually, he was a really great guy. The only people that did not like him, were the type to always be in trouble with the law.

Both of those were on the "Do Not Play" list I gave my wedding DJ.

Way back when, during Drivers Ed in high school, if the teacher (who was also the local Chief of Police) felt that you did not stop long enough at a stop sign, you would have to get out and apologize to it. And to ensure that lots of people knew you screwed up, he would roll up all the windows and turn the radio up, because if he could not hear you from inside the car, you were not doing it right. He even had a printout of what to say to the stop sign for you to read.

If you want something more football related, there is Get Back Up by Barenaked Ladies, but it's not well known, and not quite a sing along except for these lyrics... "Get back, get back up You gotta get back, get back up You got a whole stadium on their feet, it's not about a victory or a defeat See you gotta get back, get back up You gotta get back, get back up"

Or how about this, which I actually did hear at a wedding reception. The couple is no longer together, don't know if the song choice had anything to do with it.

The Bills 2023 game in London against the Jags was considered a home game. So the only way they go next year is if they're the visiting team.

Or someone hates the band.

Hi New Era, my wife is actually a Geriatric Social Worker here in NYS and offered some insight. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover much in terms of Home Care Services, etc without a skilled need or post hospitalization requirement. However you should have a local Office of the Aging or Area Agency on Aging who can help guide you on what services she may qualify for. She did a quick google search and found this website (not sure how helpful it will be but at least it is a start): Las Vegas Aging and Developmental Disability She also suggested connecting with your local chapter of the Alzheimer's Association: Desert Southwest Chapter as they may also provide some insight and guidance (here in NYS the Alz Assoc offers care consultations where they will meet with the family free of charge to talk about concerns, provide education and help with planning.) As for your medical question, while she is not a doctor she has worked in the field for over 20 years and explained that COVID can take a lot out of a "normal" person but when you add in the effects of COVID, your mom will likely take a hit. The hope is that she will recover some from her bout with COVID, but as with any older adult, she may not get back to where she was prior to getting sick. She also looked up potential Geriatrics offices in your area for more medical guidance (here in NYS she works for 1 of 10 Centers of Excellence for Alzheimer's Disease within a Geriatrics Office). It looks like UNLV has a Geriatrics program that may be worth looking into with regards to medica care focused on aging and her dementia. UNLV Health - World-class doctors close to home. Hopefully this will be helpful to you and your family.

Bills fans are not nasty to all visiting team fans...

Do you just give her the finger to the lips "be quiet" motion, or do you go and gag/duct tape her mouth shut?

It's the same argument as with Rob Johnson after the Titans playoff game. RJ had the lead when he left the field. It was the defense/special teams that lost that game.

When table jumping first started to become a thing, I looked to see if there was somewhere to buy in bulk, like a truck load, to bring to games and resell. Just couldn't find them cheap enough.

How did your actions yesterday help the Bills win? Something you ate? Did you change your shirt at halftime? Kick that annoying friend/relative out of the house? Stay in a Red Roof Inn and fear for your life, since your room was a crime scene? I’ll start… No Bills gear worn at all and played games on my phone while glancing up at the TV every so often. You're welcome.
