ikr?
Only thing I can think of is daughter 2 had us put up a yard sign for her preferred candidate in the upcoming election. But several neighbors have the same signs up. It’s a really quiet neighborhood so I am stumped.

That'd make me set up a home-hosted exterior camera.

I’m not entirely sure what you said, but in my wife’s case, all of her specialists say there is nothing wrong with her spine beyond normal wear and tear for a 69 year old woman and that her pain is all muscular and there is nothing that can be done beyond core strengthening, blah, blah, blah. One would think that after two years since her accident and fractures, the muscles and connective tissues would be fine. It’s a conundrum. ;foo:

There's often an unsuspecting family member. Watch a few Lifetime movies for more info. Better brush up on your self-defense skills for the inevitable gun/knife-wielding attacker.

Regarding the chain pin push and other stupid tricks, I was organizing some power cords today in my workroom and after removing all of the cords from a power strip and replacing them in an orderly manner, nothing worked. It's a really old power strip so I figured that it finally quit especially since the light in the switch wouldn't light up. Thing is toast.
I get another strip and start plugging them in to it and I have 5 plugs for 4 devices. The fifth plug was for the power strip. I had plugged itself into itself.

Oh! It could be a disgruntled patient/family member, too. I watched a movie about a brother of someone who died at a fertility clinic. He murdered two people with a giant syringe in his quest for revenge.
Lots of possibilities . . .

Hopefully it was a fluke. As I've aged many of my old injuries have continued to aggravate me. They come and go but lately the left shoulder has been pretty sucky. And the back has been hurting in a new, different way.

They never gave me anything other than a little skin anesthetic with those, but they did position the fluoro monitor so that I could see what was hurting like blazes.
So sorry and I hope it gets better soon. When I had that problem, I described it as feeling like my leg was having a ******g baby.

Do people here who have tried both have a strong preference between Sidi and Lake? I have Lake now, cheap ones, and they're somewhat ratted after a few years. I'd like to get another pair but need wide, which mostly drops it to those two. I think Sidi is "better" but the best Mega shoe they have is the Ergo 5, which uses their "Techo Dials" and a forefoot velcro (which drives me nuts) while Lake has dual Boa. And the Lake is cheaper. Are the Sidis better overall, with their replacement parts and all, or is that mostly a non-factor?

I heard Coca Cola is pulling their sponsorship from the NHRA but there were Mello Yello banners up at the venue. NHRA is suing Coca Cola and it would be a shame if the series went away.
