Reading history I’d say Walter Lord is my first favorite. Cornelius Ryan and John Keegan are great reads as well. My sister gave me a copy of Ian W. Toll’s The Conquering Tide. Second book in an unfinished trilogy. I can’t put it down. It is a grand strategic history of the War in the Pacific. Not a detailed account… Read more »

Regarding glucose testing in a medical setting: I don’t know if you have watched them do it, but they may be using bigger lancets that draw a larger blood drop. I complained back in 2013-14 while in Mem-NW for 4 different events, the big whacker they use HURTS.

#75 I’m pretty sure Texmo knew the meaning, or could find it if he didn’t. I’ve never seen a translate offer pop up in WordPress, though. It happens in FB for the silliest short bits of non-English.
Anyone else getting excited about watching the Democrat debate coming up soon? Now if I can just chew through these leather straps and change the TV…..
I’ve only been able to check y’all out a few times this weekend, but I’d like to say that taking Max to see his mom was good therapy for her and him. I’m sure she missed him and I KNOW that he doesn’t understand why she’s not home. Remember DOG is GOD spelled backwards.
It was interesting and I’m sure there is a simple explanation, but Max very predictably lays down about 4 minutes into any car ride.
Not this time. Sat up and looked around for 90% of the inbound trip.

#79, I know a lot of middle aged women who drive crossovers. They were too cool to drive station wagons when young, nor would they drive one now. Function over form I suppose. The mini-van was an evolutionary step between the two now that I think about it.
It annoys me to watch the Subway retro commercial set in the mid-60s and see a mid-70s Ford Country Squire station wagon in the parking lot. Couldn’t they find one of these?

Likewise, I am staying away from conspiracy theories but my guess is that the US military decided to deliver something of value to Iran. The military personsl being “captured” could perhaps be a cover story. I am offering no evidence to back up my suspicion, it’s pure speculation.

I haven’t caught that one.
But I love the Dodge commercial about the old farmer and his daughters. Most creative commercial in a long time.
If I recall Max is a Beagle. How does one keep that critter quiet enough to sneak it anywhere?
