I had the same thing happen to me in Metairie back in January of 2013. They put mine on cinder blocks except one. They got the tire and rim but they woke up my old neighbor and she scared them off by opening her balcony door. They left the jack, so I guess I got that :lol: It was towed and I got 4 new rims and tires. I had Statefarm. I had to pay the $500 deductible and that was it.

On a sidenote, our CIO at the time was talking about how property like that was not worth defending (with weapons). Then about 2 months later the same thing happened to him right before he was going to give his car to his daughter. Karma is a bitch!

I had 4 taken out at once. If you get the procedure done at a dentist's office, they will usually give you laughing gas and numb you up big time, but you won't be completely asleep.

If you get the procedure done at a surgery center, they will most likely put you completely to sleep.

You will be pretty drugged up the day of the surgery and on your way home. The worst pain is usually the soreness (the next couple of days).

You can definitely tough it out with Tylenol, but they usually prescribe you something stronger.

Exact same thing happened for me. They gave me hydrocodone afterwards, fyi.

Amazon

I live in Berlin but bought it here on Amazon. I changed the shipping address to my sister’s in Ohio and it said it would ship, fyi. I don’t know a local US place.

ETA: They not only recognize Good Friday but Easter Monday as public holidays.

I live in Berlin and have this Friday and Monday off. Just to add, it was also strange to me when I moved here to have so many religious holidays off. They have ones off that I hadn't even heard of before as work holidays.

I'm a little bit the same. After everything that went on with Rueben Randle and what felt like a circus, I told myself I would never again let myself get so invested in what a teenager decides. I felt foolish at how much emotion I spent on in it as an almost 30 year old with bills :lol:

I just used it to make some emails grammatically correct, and sound more professional/appealing. It has a place in the world. Saved me time.

I kind of do the same when I have to write business emails in German. My German is ok, but not on a business level. I first write my best German by myself. Then I use AI to make sure it sounds business appropriate. I use it as a tool and use it less and less the more I learn the proper grammar. It saves a lot of time.

I remember seeing a map of Europe at the beginning of the ukraine war with their respective standing “armies” and I was frickin shocked at how unbelievably small they all were. Europe is completely demilitarized. They don’t have shite for weapons either

I have lived in Berlin for almost 6 years now and I can tell you it is much worse than you think. They don't have anyone here even willing to fight. Anyone that would be willing to fight is labeled as a 'Rechtsextremist' (Right-Wing extremist). I've come out of the grocery store before, seen a man dressed in military fatigues, and a person just screamed at them for no reason. I've been told by people that have become close to me (so I tend to believe what they tell me), that they used to think, just let the americans go fight and they will contribute money. They really have no idea and don't understand at all what the current climate is like in the US.

The light skinned lady in the back is the one who said Ukraine. She's the one who came up to me and showed me the paper. It's a point where I get asked a lot where the Bürgeramt (citzen office) is. That wasn't the building we went to. I spoke to her in german and she shook her head no. Then I said "English?" and she said "Ukraine". When I say none of them spoke english, I mean none at all. There was a line of about 40-50 people outside the building I brought them to. I thought the same, but didn't (couldn't) ask. In the end, I just wanted to be helpful :-)
