he was a good pope. the church greatly needed to take a step forward and evolve a bit, and he was the correct man to do it.

i'm kinda in on this. at least in our house it's become too much of a thing. i love my wife, but she comes from a culture of gift giving. her family wasn't wealthy, but for christmas those kids would be opening ***** for hours. so the last few easters, our kids have been getting more and more elaborate baskets. they're not filled with candy, but toys, crafts, books, etc. they're pretty elaborate. after the kids went through them, my wife then asks, "now...do you want your gifts from us?" That's when I had a bit of a moment. She come out with two bags filled with legos and other random today. not a ton, but why in the world do the kids need a packed basket, and gifts from us. it's far too much, but her response is that the kids are young once, so here we are. then we did the 10 am brunch. 80 bucks a person. even when we looked around, the majority of all the brunches were $70-90. two places were $40, but they're places i get wings at, so i just wasn't feeling it. then a few hours later it was off do another dinner i didn't even want. it's just become too much nonsense for us, so i think i'm going to retool some things next year.

Bold, yet disastrous.

But how are the schools?

i do get where people are coming from with the smell as it's just so potent. is it the end of the world? no...but people should use the same courtesy as the would when smoking cigs as mentioned. i think part of that is how ny rolled it out. if i'm not mistaken, the rule was that you could smoke pot in the same areas that you could smoke cigs. that always struck me as odd, as it created way too much of a gray area. enforcement would be impossible, so what can you do other than trying to be considerate of others. that being said, i do smell it a lot less in public than when it first became legal. i'm not sure if the freedom buzz wore off, but it's now rare for me. i've been told by everyone that nyc is the exception along with denver. the place stinks of weed.

they should put one in the new stadium. give the place a new vibe.

the dispensaries aren't the issue. the more dispensaries aren't suddenly going to produce more smokers. how many years has pot been legal and now we have 2 within a 15 minute drive from my house. i'm willing to be i can get to 6-8 liquor stores in the same radius. on top of that, the dispensaries are always clean and secure. the one i go to on occasion doesn't even let you in the door without showing an id. on top of that, i have no idea why a drive through somehow makes it worse. you can get weed in a number of ways. you can have it delivered or pick it up yourself. for pick up, you can preorder what you want, walk into the store and just walk out. what's the difference of getting out of your car to get it vs just driving through. it's just another service in our community at this point. the more tax money coming in the better.

i'm researching the cleveland housing market as we speak.

god i hated it. i remember talking to a colleague's wife that weekend prior about how we may have to shut down. maybe for a week or two...take a short break and go back into it. that monday we started talking to the staff about how we may have reduced hours coming up, and we may have to split days. The next day, (tuesday) we were all at home, no longer allowed to work. i just build my office months before, and i was panicked. i remember hearing that we could be closed until june, and thought that would be completely impossible. we were out of work for 10 weeks after that. i was stuck in the house with a 2 year old, a 5 year old, my wife, and no way to earn. it was awful. the profession still hasn't completely come back as there's still large staff shortages.

Super Bowl *****.

sounds like he was signed by god.

we treat mild to low moderate apnea in our office with mandibular sleep devices. I mostly do mild apnea, but I'll make appliances for someone in the moderate range if they feel they can't wear the cpap at all, or want on for travel. I think the story @Neo describes is important. those multiple episodes per hour are dangerous. look up an apnea video, and it's shocking to watch someone gasp for breath. the thought it everyone of those episodes pumps cortisol into your system, and those constant spikes are assumed to lead to heart attacks. this is why we hear stories about people dying in their sleep due to apnea. also as @Neo mentioned, looking for signs of grinding can help with the diagnosis. when you grind, you teeth have to meet. this means the mandible isn't resting passively on your airway, reducing the number of episodes. i took some courses from a guy in florida about it. this dude has two practices where the only dentistry he does is sleep apnea.

that's where i recognize her from! i only could tell who she was from one picture listed. good call.

my salary?

it's more of an attitude issue.

i've been married for 12 years, but i count them like dog years.

guys...this is why the nextdoor app was created.

my wife and kids were at the airport on a layover when this happened. she said people were just blankly staring at the tvs, soaking it in. it looks like i'll be driving everywhere from now on.

more plates...more dates!

i agree here. the guy is a total psycho who apparently had failed at getting help. he's dangerous #######.

you guys are not going to like my commercial next year for testicular cancer screening.

not a single, "super bowl"? you people disgust me.

i don't see the concern with this either. we all knew it was coming, and it sets up a potentially fun trip.

It would be nice to push a child down the stairs in another country.
