I was afraid to read it - but I'm truly glad I did. I know I'll be closely "inspecting" my poop going forward. I had just started examining my testicles after reading yet another account of testicular cancer. His library

I cannot stress the need to get a good home inspector (my be even multiple) - even for a normal home. It's worth the money - I learned the hard way because I trusted a checklist inspector.

Being a parent, simply put, changes your priorities. It’s not about you anymore. Just be patient - in a couple of years you’ll be checking on them to see if they’re still alive - because they won’t need you as much. Being close to extended

Got to college not even knowing how to type - hadn’t used a computer at all but decide to study computer engineering. One major advantage is you didn’t take anything for granted... e.g 101 level classes were truly useful to me.
