Have you watched the Hallmark movies? They started Christmas in October.

Yes. That's what i am watching now. The one i am watching now is called Christmas in Vienna. I also watch some of the Lifetime movies as well. Netflix has some good ones also. I am also looking forward to The Christmas Chronicles 2 starring Kurt Russell which comes out Thanksgiving Eve.
 
Keep in mind, due to the sheer volume of seasonal crap Walmart gets on the reg, if they never put stuff out early they'd quickly run out of warehouse space. Ever been to a Walmart supercenter backroom? Check one out sometime, then you'll begin to understand the world a bit better.. ;)

Ibuprofen is mainly an anti-inflammatory. Tylenol is a better OTC pain reliever than Ibuprofen.

The funny thing is Tylenol does nothing for me. The other funny thing is higher pain pills such as Lortab makes me sick as a dog. Ibuprofen is really all I take besides the Off brand sinus pills which have Acetaminophen in it.

Speaking of which, I’m thinking of inserting a hot steel poker up into my sinuses at this moment!

I wonder in this day and age is it even easy to see a dentist for an emergency situation ?

Back in April at the peak of the lockdown here I had issues and a lot were emergency only I ended up driving around a half hour to one I found where I eventually got my dental work done in May and June. They were checking temperature and you had to fill out a form to say you had no symptoms. I never had concerns though they had mentioned straight up the state was watching them to make sure they were following protocols

Oh and I will never have another tooth ache again lol as I've mentioned before

You might have a hypersensitivity to either opioids or the synthetic opioid in those. It’s not that uncommon.
 
The only Christmas movie a real man watches is Black Christmas, 1974, directed by Bob Clark, of Porkys fame.1605502417701.png

I do know my mother has big reactions to Codeine. I remember trying to take a lortab to try to ease a horrific migraine. Big mistake and the last lortab I’ll ever take.
 
Spent the weekend at Blowing Rock/Linville NC. Blowing Rock has its own climate. Sunday morning intense fog, 49 degrees. Drive 4 miles north towards Boone partly cloudy and near 10 degrees warmer. Drive a few miles south of Blowing Rock on 321 partly cloudy and warmer. Drove over to Linville/Grandfather Mountain area and foggy and cold.

I bet for those that live in Linville and Blowing Rock you can see intense snowfall even with a miniscule clipper. Those towns, along with say Maggie Valley can score big on limited moisture.
 
I just want it to be at least right at average for my birthday. I always go to my grandparents for thanksgiving in southern Alabama, so a break from 75 and sunny thanksgivings would be welcome since I’m staying home this year

Consider asking for access to the political thread to post political articles. It was fine up until just after election day or so outside that thread, but since it is well past that time this thread isn't the place.
 
Three positive things:

1. At work I managed to control my anger which has been a huge issue, I didn't snap at a nasty customer and instead put my hands together, said god bless you and have patience mam

2. Getting trained to teach F45

3. Making my first payment on my student loans a full 3 years early before the first payment due. Beating myself up because I really really could have paid off a good amount last 2 years had I got started earlier.
 
Thoughts on item 3? I have both sub and unsub loand. Unsub loans accumulate interest while sub loans dont till I leave. Someone suggested it would be better to save some money then pay them off when they are due. I hate debt period lol. Thoughts?
 
How is it that such a liberal state like Georgia ( the only state in the south to vote for Biden) consistenly has Republican governors ?

How is it that North Carolina which votes republican in every presidential election since the 60s just about still elects democrat governors most of the time ? State politics are always a bit different than national ! I’m still in denial about Georgia lol! Seeing the electoral map and seeing the blue hole in Georgia surrounded by a sea of red is odd !

Not trying to be political, just speaking from historical information, but to be fair, Georgia has only started electing republican governors somewhat recently. From January 1872-January 2003 Georgia had all Democratic governors. Since then they have had three republican governors so I am not sure it is fair to say they consistently vote republican governors right now.

And yet not one of those democratic governors was black. How does a state with over 30% black population not ever have a black governor ?
