Wait, a grocery store is charging customers 30 cents each for single-use bags that the store buys for one or two cents each? If that's the case, then someone's ethics are in question and that someone isn't this employee. :rolleyes:

Thank you for sharing your knowledge in this area @Naturally. Clearly there is a lot of misinformation and unfounded speculation circulating regarding the Francis Scott Key bridge incident at the moment. Your posts should help clarify things for those who are willing to pay attention. (y)

hmmm . . . It's light, gets dark for a little while, then light again. I think I'll wait or the movie. :rolleyes: :LOL::LOL::ROFLMAO:

Since childhood I've been able to tell when the barometric pressure drops sharpy. I get a sort of an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's not problematic . . . it just IS. :rolleyes:

It isn't unusual. The summers aren't necessarily short . . . but the winters, albeit nice, get to be too long. :ROFLMAO:

We had our private well tested before buying this rural house. Nutrients, metals, volatiles and semivolatiles, PCB, PBB, total and fecal coliform bacteria, and radon. We have that done every five years. A bit costly but worth it to me. Our water is perfectly safe. I'm not sure how effective...

I took a look at the keyboard. Only one X and one Y, so it must be male. :)
