Nothing was missing. Nothing was messed up. It's like these thieves realized there are cameras everywhere two seconds after they stole it. Btw, if the police do recover your stolen car you have twenty minutes to pick it up or it is going to impound. However, they will not charge you for the first two days it is there. He's lucky, my friend Kim's car was stolen and the thieves peed in it.Taylor SwiftLove the new album, but we couldn't help noticing the racier lyrics and themes. My husband teased me saying she is not a little girl anymore. However, I am just not used to Tay Tay dropping F-bombs. D-bombs and talking about Travis Kelce's Redwood tree.

I can’t seem to get my mom from getting upset and taking this as a personal slight. Tips? Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming, and I don’t need the drama.(Talkbacks, please) K-Pop Demon HuntersCorey watched this movie over the weekend. She fell in love with the song, 'Golden,' which made her want to see it. Then Bad Bunny did a great sketch on SNL which was hilarious. Now, Marcus feels left out.

It was dark and the hammock was put together with metal bars. My neck landed on the metal bar. I have been seeing a chiropractor, but the pain just got worse and worse. I had an MRI and it showed stenosis, However, that wasn't the culprit. The nerves were already somewhat arthritic, but the fall exacerbated the situation and my nerves are in the seventh circle of hell. This is where "ablation" comes in. It's basically burning the nerve endings...which could keep pain at bay for up to 16 months. They do grow back but that is better than all of the pain killers I am taking. Thank god I am not pregnant; I'm keeping Tylenol in business. #autismSecond Date UpdateAlex said he met Marissa online and their rooftop dinner felt magical.

As a kid, I would just knock on my friend's door and ask them to come play — no warning. If someone showed up at my door unannounced now, I would take it as a sign of deep disrespect, because why would you not call first? I could be busy.""I started babysitting other people's kids at age 10. All babies through toddlers. No one thought anything of it. I couldn't imagine hiring a 10-year-old to babysit my baby and toddler while I went out to dinner and a movie. Seems wild.""If we were just getting a couple of things from a store, my mom would send me in by myself or let me stay in the car alone. I was 8 or 9 when she first let me. An 8-year-old shopping by themselves would raise a lot of suspicion nowadays.""How about when shows cranked out 20+ episode-long seasons every 6 months, rather than 8–10 episodes every 2–3 years?""Toilet papering your friend's house was a typical tween slumber party. Now, it's a felony.""Getting a ride from someone who knew your parents, but you didn't know the person.""Speed-dial and status assigned by which button your name was on. It was such a massive convenience to be able to just hit one button and call someone."Unintentional InsultsOver the weekend, someone complimented my hair color.

Healthy Eating Mistakes You Could Be MakingEven if you know what you should be eating, putting that knowledge into action can feel like an Olympic sport.
