    they just give you two pre-filled pouches with the paperwork.

    Les Schwab did the same thing with braces and tires; they’d just give you some small bits of wire and squares and tell you to figure it out. it was too good a deal to pass up at the time.

    unfortunately self-administering braces is harder than you’d think. I’ll never be able to eat like I used to 😔

    great tires tho

    You know I learned recently that it’s impossible to be outside long enough in some areas of the world to get your daily dose of vitamin D? Areas not as remote as you’d think!

    —oh, right, politics. Uh, yeah no, Love is more powerful than hate, but sometimes it takes tough love to really suffocate the hate, y’know? Really put that pillow over the face and just… don’t…

    …Seattle, for example! Can’t get enough sun in Seattle!

    Likewise.

    Unfortunately everything else I learned was ethereal and went away, and I’ve got a learning disability that really doesn’t like it when a new system is slightly different than a previous system I’d learned.

    I was all in on .shtml (anything but php or css), Shockwave/Macromedia Director 7 and Bryce for graphics.

    I could never get back into it using the mainstream stuff.
