Congrats! You've completed the hardest part!

My advice: Start some sort of exercise -- especially if you can swing it in the mornings. Maybe start with walking a mile or so until this becomes routine. Graduate later to something more vigorous. Men also need to lift so one day add that. I do HIIT most mornings now, but you have to figure out what's best for you.

Anyway, this helps with alcohol avoidance because you feel even better and something you look forward to. A drink can really drag you down and knock you out of that groove.

ETA: Not meaning to blame the victim. The blame is 100% with the alleged drunks. He just put himself and his family in a risky position and was terribly unlucky.
Here's an article with more detail. Sad situation. LINK
The news around this has been super vague. Any word on what actually happened?

Maybe you don't understand the role of the majority leader.
Don't be fooled. They are only doing this to get re-elected -- sort of like so many GOPe sell-outs who act conservative during election season. When the time comes, the commies can count on their vote.

Same here. I ended up skipping all of my classes until I finished it. :lol:

Everything about this Samsung phone is amazing but having so many issues with apps
If this were me (on either Android or iPhone), I'd consider backing up my data, resetting to factory settings, and reloading everything. Sucks, but it's unusual to have the issues you mentioned.

I have been using Android for probably 13 years and never had any app issues
Same here. I switched to iPhone for a while and actually had more problems with it -- particularly the UI & gestures.

That said, I was surprised that the Pixel hasn't advanced much since the 5. It's funny to watch all the fanfare about each new release and it's usually little different from the one it replaced.
White Oak Animal Hospital is very good.

She's doing what Thune wants. Not sure how Trump can impact any of this.
Agreed. The only thing would be for Vance to step in (and stay eangaged) as Senate president but that's extremely unlikely.

Fixed it for you ??

This 100%. NetGear has some good (and easy) mesh options.

I agree this is what they do, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I also think it discredits them in the long run as viewers quit paying attention to his posts due to too much BS around them. Which is a shame, since he's done some good exposés.

I don't entirely disagree with you here. But why the addiction to promising something HUGE tomorrow? Why not just drop the huge revelation now? And why is the revelation, once made public, usually not as big as they made it out to be?
It's a necessity in some sandy bottom situations, like at Wax Lake. You use reverse to dig a five-foot trench so the prop has enough water to get on plane.

ETA: This is true for a GatorTail or MudBuddy surface drive. Not a sure with respect to a ProDrive with their full-power reverse design.

Problem is, Article 5 has only been invoked once -- following the Sept 11 attack. Kinda like winning the first pot in poker and leaving with the money.

If we're going with a poker analogy, would you agree it's fair to quit the game if you're the only one paying the ante?

This is spot on. Who would have thought??
