I highly recommend Jennifer Dalton https://daltonfamilydental.com

I have severe dental anxiety too, and she has a very gentle approach. She’s also informative but will not pressure you to do anything you don’t need and don’t want to do.

We’ve just met a new kind of cyber terrorism—911 calls placed by bots. They call it bot SWATing. Had parents and students in tears all over the country today, so I’d say it’s effective.

Many Presbyterian (PCUSA) churches do an animal blessing in October every year. It’s one of my favorite services.

What part of town are you in?

That’s absurd. There’s no baptism fee. And if there is, you should leave that church.

The reason they require a class is because most people don’t understand the theology behind baptism. Many people want to dunk their children because they think it’s hell insurance. As long as I make sure my baby is baptized, I’m covered, even though I have no intention of raising them in the faith. What church should condone that?

And yes, they keep paperwork. You get a baptism certificate and the church keeps records because that community of faith is promising to help raise the child. Those records get used by historians hundreds of years later sometimes.

I’m not saying there aren’t churches that operate like businesses. And there have certainly been con-artist pastors, but it’s not fair to assume most churches are making people jump through hoops for no reason.

I’m sure any pastor would be happy to discuss the sacrament of Baptism with you. Most churches will not just offer baptism (especially if you’ve already been baptized) but many will do a reaffirmation of faith.

They need a better system for changing and disposing of litter. Cat litter can get very expensive if we’re talking about multiple cats. People don’t like to dump it all out every day because of the expense but they need to be doing that. Maybe offer to donate litter if this is the issue? Or heavy trash bags if it’s the trash that stinks?

They also need to make sure all of the cats are spayed and neutered. Unneutered males stink to high heaven.

If you sign the contract, it would be legal, but essentially they are asking you to take a voluntary pay cut in exchange for getting more hours. Say no. If you want the extra hours get a second job and they can complete for your time.

No way to know for sure. How much they take is directly tied to demand and limited by how much gas is down there. The wells I’ve seen only lasted about 10 years, but it’s not uncommon for them to come back 30-80 years later and re-drill the same land for different products. Our gas wells are on top of old oil wells.

It is baffling to me how little people understand about how utilities work. Seriously, an EMP is the perfect weapon against the US. We are definitely too stupid to survive without technology at this point.

My first year post divorce I opened a very expensive bottle of wine and baked hundreds of cookies. It was great. Do whatever you love to do.

Take it in and get it done. If you get caught, the ticket will be 3 times the inspection fee.

Sounds like you didn’t even get your full 30 days. Welcome to the neighborhood!

There’s nothing in the ordinance that gives someone permission to remove a cover from your car. You could definitely make a trespassing case. There’s no way for them to tell from the street if the car has been inspected or registered, and if it’s not in disrepair, then it’s only in violation until you inspect and register it.

They say covering the car is not sufficient screening. They don’t say you can’t cover an unscreened car.

I get not pissing your landlord off, and you should probably just deal with it, but if I owned the place, I’d be making passive aggressive yard signs.

Those specific lights are a part of a CMU and Google AI project. It’s a much harder problem to solve than you’d think. They’ve done it a lot of different ways over the years but that intersection is likely to be a disaster until they change the roads.
