We recently had a blood drive at our church & I volunteered at the check in, which had a list of everyone’s blood type. We had about 20 donors, one B+ (me), one O+ and every one else was A+, it surprised me that there were so many of them.

I knew George’s death would probably be coming since we knew from TBBT that he died when Sheldon was 14, but I was kind of hoping he would make it through the end of the series & Sheldon would just do a voice over saying his dad passed after her left for CalTech. The writers of this show are amazing!
On a lighter note, Missy calling Sheldon’s school “Cow Tech” was hilarious
As mentioned, I loved how they handled George’s “affair” On TBBT, he told Penny he always knocked 3 times because he walked in on his dad having an affair with a blond woman ( leaving us to always believe it might be Brenda), but when Mary returned from Germany, she put on a Heidi like costume with a blond wig & told George she had a surprise for him, which is actually what Sheldon walked in on.
Boy am I going to miss this show!

Ugh - weather updates during the last 10 minutes of Amazing Race - I don't even know who went home. I suspect who it was but don't know for sure.
That Canyon (water/rock) challenge looked tough - I mean just getting to the location looked hard but then all that swimming and trying to get the details of all the rocks - whew!!
Ricky just slammed right though that baseball challenge. I thought Vinny was a little more patient this week, seems like he is trying to be a better team partner, at least he's trying.

How do you explain to others your change in your faith? I don't think you really need to explain it. For you family and friends, if THEY bring up the subject, just state the facts. "My faith has changed over the years"

My friend and I were just discussing US women’s public restrooms a couple of days ago. We said “why don’t they make ALL stalls accessible, not just one?” Also, we said, “why is the baby changing station almost always in the accessible stall?”. I know it’s because it’s bigger, but it ties up the stall for a person that might need it, but they have to wait because a baby is being changed in there.

I agree about the language. I am surprised so many people are using handicapped in this thread. I thought that word had been retired. Like how we don't say "committed suicide" anymore. The proper term really is disabled as has been for quite some time. Maybe I've been living under a rock, but what is the proper phrase for someone who kills themselves? Most now say “They died by suicide”

I leave reviews and read them as well...it can help when making decisions about a product or a rental unit.
Considering that the VRBO you read was the only bad one, yes, it sounds made up. It would be hard to believe one family had such a horrible experience when everyone else had a good one. They obviously were not happy about something and decided to get even by leaving a bad review.

I think a President should be required to have served in the military. I think if you are commander in chief, it helps having that experience (just my personal opinion)
A president needs to be healthy, mentally & physically, be honest & moral. S/he needs to be somewhat charismatic, be a good speaker and someone who can take charge and shows authority

Boy, Vinny is condescending to Amber and I think she’s starting to realize this may not be the right guy for her. He really showed himself this week and was downright awful to her. I felt bad for her. I was hoping they’d be eliminated so she could go home and think about her future instead of continuing with his verbal abuse.
I LOVED when Cesar & Ricky were doing the song & dance on stage. They were getting into it & looked like they were having fun. I hope they win! I just love their attitude and enthusiasm.

I am sorry - I can’t imagine what it’s like to know your husband, who you loved with all your heart, is someone you truly didn’t know.

I would not expect help from the US government unless someone were trapped in an unfriendly country. Same here. I'm not sure why people commenting on the Go Fund Me page think the US Gov't should help. He broke his leg and had medical complications while on vacation. He isn't in a political situation or anything. We once had a girl from our church go on a mission trip to Honduras. The first day after arriving, she became very ill and because of her location, there were no hospitals nearby to help. (Turns out she was having some kind of late reaction to the vaccines she received). She literally almost died, but it was up to those that could help (mostly her family) to get her back to the US for treatment (where after weeks in the hospital, she eventually recovered). No one expected the US Government to help.

It is actually very sweet but I can see when you are trying to sleep how it could be a bit annoying. Basically, it is a way of soothing himself, just let making biscuits is a way of soothing himself. It's also generally a sign that your cat is happy, feels safe but may want attention. Even though it seems he gets plenty of attention, at night when you are trying to sleep, he isn't getting the attention he wants.
Unfortunately, I don't really have any advice on what to do to make him stop. He is still a bit young, so perhaps he will grow out of it.

If I was concerned the item I wanted was going to sell out, I would have ordered it again. Then return the wrong items & if I got the item I wanted twice, I’d return one of them.,

I feel you. It seems like our entire married life that as soon as we get a few hundred dollars ahead, the universe decides to screw with us. Dear CraftedbyS and family, I hear that you have an extra $200 by scrimping and saving and doing without. Well, we can't have that, now can we. Here's a vet bill/car repair/doctor's copay/broken appliance bill for $400. FU and see you next month, The Universe. It sure feels like that doesn't it. Seems like every time I get a little saved up, I get hit with something, like an unexpected vet bill or a nail in my tire or something...It's so hard to get a little ahead.

Totally agree, I haven't bought Ritz in ages for that reason - so many broken crackers, they just aren't as stable as they use to be. I don't buy crackers that often but when I do, I prefer Captian's Wafers (which are like Club crackers)

Maybe she should tithe 20% to God from now on. (Really the church, not God.) And she is cheap. Bet wait staff dread seeing her sit in their section. I thought the same...if she feels she shouldn't tip people more than she gives to God,then perhaps she needs to give more money to God...Tithing does say 1/10th of your income but it isn't limited to that, you can give more.
As a Christian, I have never heard anyone say something like that in my life. It does sound a bit like an excuse to be a cheap tipper. I have never worked a job that involved tipping, but have friends that have and after hearing their perspective on it, I consider myself a generous tipper.

The dating nurses Vinny and Amber. He is so patient with her! I don't get that feeling at all! He is quite impatient and snippy. There are times that he comes across as downright condescending - especially after they appear to have talked out things from a prior leg. I've told DH that I'm dying to know if those two are still a couple because what I'm seeing so far doesn't look like they would be. I thought the same. When watching, I was thinking that these 2 are probably not going to make it. He’s running the race at a fast pace, as he should but she just struggles to keep up, even when he’s driving, he’s going so fast that she can’t even see what streets they are approaching and then he blames her for not being able to read a map properly

I feel for his children & grandchildren. Of course I don't know if he killed his ex-wife and her friend (personally, the evidence to me seems he did, but of course none of us know for sure). The only human left alive that truly knew was O.J. and he was found not-guilty and maintained his innocence and now he has taken that to grave with him.
Up until their murders, I always admired O.J. He was a great football player and seemed like a good person. However, after their murders, and the spousal abuse info came out and my belief that he did actually get away with murder, well...my opinion of him, of course, totally was the opposite of what I thought when I was growing up.

I think so. 5 minutes or maybe even 10 minutes early is okay. But anything beyond 15 minutes early is just as bad as being late. I have a friend that we go to events together sometimes. When she drives, she habitually arrives to pick me up about 15-20 minutes early. I'm still getting ready. When it's my turn to drive, I go to her house a few minutes before we've decided to leave, and I always end up waiting for her. It's maddening! I agree with this. 5-10 minutes early is fine but I also have a friend that sometimes arrives 30-40 minutes early and often I am not ready and I feel rude making her sit in the living room while I’m blow drying my hair and such. If I am too early to someone’s house, I just drive around a bit until closer to our meeting time.
