Mon 00:03:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, A father and son in Illinois a few years ago were cleaning out the attic of the grandfather's house. He had been in Korea.

Mon 00:05:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The one in Indiana did.
Mon 00:06:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And it said the father in Indiana died but the son was injured.
Mon 00:06:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "While the Wilmington grenade incident was resolved safely, a similar event ended in tragedy in nearby Indiana two years ago. In that incident, a family was going through a grandfather's belongings when they happened across a grenade and someone pulled the pin, causing it to detonate, police said at the time. A 47-year-old father was killed, while his children, ages 15 and 18, suffered shrapnel injuries."

Mon 00:44:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Someone said they'd rent me a room real cheap so I just have to decide when I want to move.
Mon 00:44:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's really no danger of the room going away because it's something they said they'd hold for me.
Mon 00:44:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They don't want to rent it to some random person who could turn out to be a total freak.
Mon 00:47:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, So something funny.
Mon 00:48:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I pay for goodrx gold which is a pharmacy discount program for people.
Mon 00:48:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They let me put family members on it. But really that can be anyone since the name on the prescription just has to match what's on the card.
Mon 00:49:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The vet called in a prescription for a human medicine, but it's for my cat, but it went to the grocery store pharmacy.
Mon 00:49:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And the prescription is for "Leeloo Cat".
Mon 00:49:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :)
Mon 00:49:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So I added "Leeloo Cat" to my GoodRX Gold card and filled the cat prescription at the negotiated price.

Mon 00:49:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ allegedly elsewhere pets (or at least cats) would receive their human caretaker's last name

Mon 00:53:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The podiatrist told me that you could wear the same pair for 3-4 days.
Mon 01:09:21 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, These socks apparently have a lifetime warranty. No questions asked. They don't even ask for the sales receipt.
Mon 01:09:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If they get holes in them you mail them back and they send you a code for a free pair from their website.
Mon 01:11:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You have to pay to mail them though so I've been told it's best to wait until you have lots of them that have a hole in them then send them a bag of socks with holes.
