I grew up in houses with lead paint and still live in one, with an old gravity furnace covered with flaking asbestos. And yet here I am, so I'm not going to worry about a little PFA. But I'm glad to read the the AF is cleaning that shit up. We worry so much about climate change I think people are forgetting about all the other environmental crap we're responsible for.

    Dog fans, do you believe you can tell a dog's sex from its face? Googling the question shows mixed opinions, but I think my accuracy is better than a coin toss, though I never took the time to work through a large sample and check my results.

    Depends on the breed. Malamute males have a fatter face than the females do.

    I think a more reliable way is to check the undercarriage.

    For the last couple days TGR has been a snooze fest. Where are the controversies and personal attacks?

    Ok thanks for the tip. Haven't been in there the last week or so because I have a hard time following along when things get pseudo-intellectual. I'm more a fastfred vs. buttahflake guy.

    I enjoyed it. Quality work, on both sides.

    I have a family heirloom from 1895 that is engraved with the family name of my paternal great grandfather and maiden name of my great grandmother. It is the family rosary (Ireland born Catholics).

    It was passed down to my father (an uber-devout Catholic) and now I (a fallen Catholic/Atheist) have it.

    Even in my state of non-believing I appreciate the importance of this family relic and am honored to have it. It is a beautiful piece. Hand carved ebony and sterling silver.

    My problem/question is since I have no children what do I do with it? I have many distant cousins who share my/my great grandfather's name and there is an entire branch of the family which bears the maiden name of my paternal great grandmother but I know none of them. There is also a branch which bears neither name but they are practicing Catholics who take pride in the family name that is my paternal great grandfathers (their matriarch was my father's sister).

    I really would like it to go to a relative who would appreciate it and continue passing it on but I'm not sure how to go about finding that person in the family and what happens if I open a can of worms and get multiple people wanting it?

    Thoughts?

    Don’t open a can of worms. Choose one. Or choose someone else.

    I am nearing the end of a long stint of PT, almost 8 months, 6 months 2x a week and 2 months of 1x a week. The Therapists have been wonderful, gentle, knowledgeable and easy on the eyes. I have seen the same 2 the entire time.

    I was thinking a gratuity would not be out of line. Should I direct it to just them, or the entire group including the desk folks?

    Cash? Gift card? Fruit basket?
    I am grateful for all they have done and want to express it.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    OK, thanks for that.

    What about a fruit basket for the entire practice?
