Target sells them now! Mine have tags on the parts that go either by your foot or head board that say that's where they go. They also have extra pleating at the corners so that they stay tucked deep under the mattress. Iove them! Oh, and elastic around the entire thing so they tuck under the entire mattress.

Why even bother? It's not like anything is ever done about the non-anonymous threats we currently see. Ffs.

I got one the other day that had the third column of images completely cut off on mobile. Didn't matter what browser I tried. I had to wait until I could get to a desktop to try and access the site.

I had this once, it was awesome! And then my next flight was the worst one I've ever had. So prepare yourself just in case life is currently snickering behind its hand at you because it plans to fuck your shit up next go-around :(

They did this to me decades ago and I ended up having to get a new card so the old one would no longer work. I haven't used paypal since. Fuck them.

Not on Home edition

You can do it on home. Takes a lot of googling and monkeying around, but I did it on my father's computer years ago.

I can't see squat, there's a hurricane outside.

It looks like he's missing a flipper. I bet that really wreaks havoc on his balance / equilibrium.

I mean, nothing is stopping you now. Live your dream!

I think you're right. It certainly seems pretty, but it still looks like every other generic 'motley group of ridiculously attractive misfits save ____" that Netflix and its ilk churn out.

I have lots of stomach issues and can't eat a lot of foods, which means I mostly eat the same few things over and over. One of the few things I can have reading out is a particular local restaurant's chicken strips, and I'd get them for lunch a couple times a month. They've raised their prices twice in the last 6 months, and what used to be 6-8 strips for$6 is now 5 chicken strips - just the chicken, no fries or other sides - for $10. If I'm feeling masochistic, I'll get myself and my father each one of their chef salads. Two of those are now $27. They are a very, very popular place and usually crazy busy, but since that last hike I've noticed the parking lot at lunchtime is often half empty. This is not a wealthy area, people can't afford these prices. They are going to greed themselves right out of business.

They've also lost every single long-time employee they had. And when I say long, I mean 15, 20 years working there. I watched most of them grow up, get married and have families. Every. Single. One. is gone, and I've seen most of them at other restaurants now. Their staff is now different every time I go in there, and service sucks and orders are frequently wrong. My work stopped ordering food from there for meetings because of it. Greed, greed, greed, with a healthy dose of apparent staff mistreatment. Story of the world at large nowadays.

He's a good bit older than that and has cancer, and is not able to sit at a computer long enough to learn a new operating system even if he wanted to. Which he really, really doesn't lol. He hates the thing with the fire of a thousand burning suns and only used it for his necessaries.

I'm also not familiar with any other operating system besides windows, outside of a brief foray into pi-hole years ago that I don't remember much about, so I'd have to learn it first. While I'd love to start playing around with Linux some day, unfortunately that day isn't going to be any time soon.
