That’s right….and this is a “river city” and all the storm runoff gets to the James.

Have a place for everything, make lists, write things down, set up reminders

My advice is to look your buys over GOOD. I sometimes miss things like stains or torn seams.

I use my stainless steel julienne peeler often for salads and such, a good quality citrus squeezer, and a good stainless zester for everything from garlic to parm cheese. Small items that do big jobs.

I’m so thankful for Costco because I’ve picked up lots of quality items over time on sale or clearance that would be WAY so much money if I bought them new now.

Thanks! This is what I need. I didn’t know they existed!

Visit a few dentists and get a few ideas and quotes. It will be a good investment.

As someone who lives in one of those “select” neighborhoods, I wish there were more cameras. Clearly we need all we can to fight crime.

I believe that

Definitely not a “buy it for life”. Why would you give birth to all that new China fossil fuel plastic? I bet the thrift stores are FULL of them and you could get one for a tenth of the price.

Snapware-glass only. It won’t leak on you and you can reheat in the bowl.

Yeah, no doubt.

You can rent a truck for a few hours and it shouldn’t be too crazy expensive.

You’re right. He went to a county department but he had just started orientation on 11/16. It doesn’t say why he changed.
I don’t disagree with you that some bad eggs end up in the PDs. But, these are human resource heavy organizations. It’s not likely that you’re NOT gonna have some freaks. They don’t pay them worth a dag. I’m not sure why normal people would WANT to do that job. Hey, I’m not taking up for anyone, but the reality is being a police officer has to be a crap job. But, that doesn’t change the fact that, in spite of their struggles to get people among this labor shortage, that they should set the bar as high as possible including substantial psychological testing. Maybe this guy didn’t wave his “I’m a pedofile and a murderer” flag to these people. Serial killers live whole normal lives and no one knows.

Snapware from Costco! I agree the nesting glass ones chip. The snapware completely seal, lasts forever (I’ve had mine a long time). Costco seems to always carry it so you can replace a set if some disappear. And they stack well.

There he goes again, living a life of love and happiness.

I can see if he had performance issues that they might give him the opportunity to resign instead of fire him. So, there must be more to this story.

Well, he was only on the job 10 months and resigned in October apparently. So, he wasn’t a current State Trooper. No one noticed any signs of psychological trouble with the guy the article I read said. But, something must have been going on if he resigned after only 10 months on the job.

Maybe a membership to VMFA? Restaurants gift cards? Concert tix to area small venues?

I think it’s whatever you like! But, I’d recommend buying more than you need so you never have to worry that you can’t replace certain lost/damaged pieces.

Can you have them refilled?

I’ve tried the dollar tree ones and they DO wear out fast. Just get a decent pack and they’ll last a lot longer!
