Lord Liaden Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Cygnia said: New Zealand claim to world's largest potato is actually a tuber As usual, superficial headlines promote ignorance. A potato is a tuber. There are other types of tubers, such as yams and sweet potatoes. Gourds are unrelated plants, like pumpkins and cucumbers.

NTSB Says 13-Year-Old Was Driving Pickup Truck in Deadly Crash Involving University of the Southwest Golf Team I remember...I think it was my first real boss, back around 1980. He was born and raised in Nebraska. It was...pretty common, for kids to be driving on the rural back roads. Figure: this goes back probably to the 40's or early 50's. Might've been from someone else but I definitely remember kids driving in those circumstances. Man, this just makes me sick though. The kid's family is going to be wrecked too. archer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that in the event a vaccine is developed and approved, that it should be required? Because my answer there is no, not at this time. Publicize it widely, sure. Get it approved for insurance, yes. Require it? I don't think the problem's severe enough to go that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I said nothing about requiring them. Not in this environment. When parents don't even want the Polio vaccine nowadays, I wouldn't dream of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I know I have Epstein-Barr, because I contracted mononucleosis when I went back and finished college in my 30s. I've wondered about chronic fatigue syndrome and asked my doctor about it a couple of times, but it's never been confirmed. My constant lack of energy is probably just a function of having young kids in my 50s.

csyphrett Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 When we moved here, I was in the third grade. Two years later, we moved across town. The local place to eat for me and my brothers was Kermit's. It was a throwback to the drive in burger place. You could eat inside and listen to the jukebox, or eat outside at picnic tables, or in your car at a curb. Later on, I would take my wife and boy over to get them something to eat. So the place was a local landmark for the neighborhood for years like Arnold's from Happy Days. Last night, I saw it on the front page of the paper. Someone had shot it up while some firefighters were eating on the curb. The police were investigating but had no suspects yet.

csyphrett Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 As a follow up to the kermit's story, the police had arrested two guys and they are supposed to be arraigned tomorrow. That was incredibly fast CES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
