Kinda? It contains a boatload of caffeine with other additives that are supposed to help your workout. It hits fast (in 15 or so minutes) and will sustain through your entire workout. I can't find what I was using, but one of my buddies swore by Ghost - www.gnc.com/pre-workout-supplements/528056.html#start=1
Some of them contain a lot of Niacin (B vitamin) which also naturally boosts your energy. Just be warned that some people can "flush" after taking these, aka get real red and itch. I had that and it goes away after a little bit. It's a super weird feeling.
I believe I've met the male version of a uhaul lesbian.
Dude is professing love after a few beers over 2 nights after a chance meeting, and then he's wanting to leave luggage in my hotel room.
The second Bridget Jones movie addresses this kinda, I bet he "forgets" his luggage and wants you to meet him somewhere with it, and BAM you're a drug mule.
We’ve been posting regular updates on this process because I ran on the “platform” of transparency. The two former board members, mostly the former president, have been taking every opportunity to ask questions that they know the answer to in order to make the new board look bad.
"This must not have been resolved during your term. Here is how it's going now..."
I don't know why people do this, it makes *them* look incompetent if they don't know the answers from their time serving.
In general I toss them. They don't add any value with used bookstores when you go in for trade. At least not the ones here.
I toss them if they are books I plan to keep. However, we have a really strong Facebook page for selling in our town and I sell a lot of my books on there too. People like to have the dust jackets on that, so if I think I might sell, I keep them.
Yeah, I think it's completely up to the secondary market. Personally, I find them annoying.
I got tired of the big ice my refrigerator makes not fitting well into all our water bottles. With this I fill them all up with ice easily. The ice cubes are tiny squares, so it's not sonic ice, but close.
Oh really? They are so light and airy. The starbursts are a bit more dense and stick to my teeth. Not a fan of those. I want to try gummy worms/bears next.
It's just big enough to provide ambience, but not too big. I can store it pretty much anywhere. I did have a bit of trouble with my order in that they sent me the wrong accessory, but customer service corrected it immediately and I got to keep what they originally sent.
Tell me why you like it so much/how you use it, please. I have looked at these and they're adorable, but I have no idea what I would actually do with it if I had one. We already have a big metal firepit.
Like, it's just fun to have it going on the table when you're outside? Do you roast marshmallows over it?
I'm a firebug at heart, but could never justify putting in a firepit because of reasons. Also, I'm not a big fan of how fire smells. This little thing scratches the fire itch by providing ambience without taking up a lot of space, and little to no smoke smell.
With the heat deflector it was perfect for those colder mid-spring evenings, and now that it's warm I don't use the deflector and it doesn't put out a lot of heat. There is little to no smoke, just a bit when it starts before the secondary burn and a bit at the end when the flames go too low to sustain the secondary burn. It has, with the pellets, about an hour burn time if you don't add any more. If you add more you can stretch it to about 3 hours. With the wood, it burns pretty much as long as you want as long as you keep adding wood. It's easy to clean because it's so small.
You can roast marshmallows, but we tend to not because I'm the only one in my family that likes them toasted. I live with heathens.

The teeny pieces of wood really make it.
LOL! It looks fucking ridiculous. Generally I use hardwood pellets (can use any kind), but I did grab a box of the name brand wood (lolololol) from Dicks because they were having an over 50% off sale. I guess the little wood is sold at a lot of stores because the wood fired pizza ovens take that size?
I am crafting an email to our principal about the school picnic. There were inflatables but not enough parent volunteers to work them. So at one point, one started to deflate because there were too many kids inside. My DD tripped and fell at the entrance and kids stepped on her in there haste to get out. She couldn't get back up in all the commotion. Basically, my kid was trampled - do better!
What would you have wanted the solution to be? Not inflate the inflatables that couldn't be manned?

OMG. She called the org to report that I forced my son to continue playing with a grievous injury and possible concussion, and that he was very upset throughout the whole game, and that the coach allowed it. The org talked to myself, the coach, and the coach of the other team and all our stories matched. I mentioned that she had sent me a harassing email, the coach said he'd been getting them from her since the start of the season (mid-May). The org person said "Hold on" and pulled up her side of the emails through the system and I could hear her say, to someone else in her room, "Log in and archive all of these." I was apologized to from the org. I responded that I'm glad they take the allegations seriously. They assured both myself and the coach that she would be removed from our team.
BUT, OMG.WTF.BBQ. There is something seriously wrong with that lady. Seriously fucking wrong. She didn't present as anything crazy until she emailed me. The coach called me privately and went over some of the stuff she emailed him and other parents about that she copied him on - kids not sharing the ball, ignoring her son, pushing/tripping, making them practice too long, etc. He said it's been non-stop since the season started. As a reminder, this is a team of 5-6 yos. He also said that the org told him that she would probably be removed from the entire org because of the repeated harassment, and that the coach last year submitted a complaint against her. The coaches are all volunteers. They don't get paid for this.
Part of me wonders if she's part of a message board that is validating all of this for her.
Ok, I'm glad I didn't engage with the email this morning. I don't say this lightly, but I feel extremely sorry for her kid. Extremely. She just blacklisted them from playing baseball with the org we're registered through. I'm on a call with the team coach and the org right now.
Right? I can't think of a single sport that 1) doesn't have risk of a minor injury, and 2) there may be blood.
Vomit is way more disgusting than blood. I'd have responded that you were surprised she kept a kid who vomited there.
Honestly, I'm surprised they stayed because he was pretty upset and took longer to calm down than my kid. He kept wandering on and off the field for the rest of the time there.
Dubai Bling - I asked this question in a May thread, but I'm asking again. Does anyone know why everyone turned on Ebraheem after his apology with Zeina fell apart? Like that entire rivalry situation poofed into smoke after that. To me, it seemed like it was Ebraheem's same shitty attitude he always comes with that people put up with, and then everyone started distancing themselves.
A federal judge on Thursday ordered former Trump political adviser and right-wing podcaster Stephen K. Bannon to report to prison by July 1 to begin serving a four-month prison term for contempt of Congress after an appeals court in May upheld his conviction.

Holy smokes pixy0stix , has this mother never been to a kids sporting event...ever? How about some damn sympathy for your kid and yourself? Maybe stay TF out of it? Ugh let us know if you need any "help" with this woman, lol.
She has no idea that I come from the mean streets of GBCN. LOL!
I have the most townie-est of townies show up from Angi to put together my outdoor sectional and I feel like I'm being punked. He shows up all "WHERE'S DA OTHA GUY? There's supposed to be two us!! You call those Angi people and let me know or they'll give that deadbeat my money!! Don't forget!! What's your wifi? And I need an outlet, I gotta charge my phone. You got a cushion I can sit on while I do this or something?"
Good lord.
Update: Almost had to call the cops, dude was screaming at me through the window asking for more money because it was more than a 2 hour job. He finally left and my outdoor furniture is only half assembled. FFS.
Oh shit. At least he left? What is wrong with people today?
I'm in sport's parent hell. I woke up to an email from the mom of the kid who barfed when seeing my kid's bloody nose last night basically calling me a bad parent for "inflicting emotional distress" on her son for keeping my kid in the game after he was cleaned up. And that I should have "sought medical attention" for my kid. After slow blinking a few times and taking several deep breaths I replied to her, "I'm sorry you feel that way." I hope her head explodes.
CO Republicans used to be more moderate. In 2016 they refused to endorse Trump. Since then many of them that were against Trump have been forced out of the party, much like what is happening nationally. As such, most of CO is blue where we used to be purple. All that's left of the party are the zealots and extremists. So then this happens.
DS got hit in the face with a baseball tonight and his nose started gushing blood. The kid who saw it and promptly barfed cried harder than my kid did. What a night.
