So, sad to say that our trip to NYC is over…
It was such a wonderful week, getting to spend time with one of our best friends.
She even tried a piece of Alligator jerkey, what she said she would never try in a million years, and she absolutely hated it. Lol.
The being sick on New Year’s Eve curse continues.
Think it’s just bad sinuses from the weather being weird and I pulled something in my shoulder doing laundry. Still every year like clockwork.
At least it’s not food poisoning again.
Sorry to hear that the dreaded sickness haunts your new year once again.
I could make you a TAN Shrine thread for next year, to warn off the bad New Year’s Mojo.
And I appoint your new’s Bishoujo Claim Alisha, as your Shinto priestess.
To bring you a lucky new year’s resolution, to be sick free on New Year’s
So, funny story about this: When I had my wisdom teeth removed, they only removed three of them because one of them was near a nerve, and they didn’t want to risk damaging it.
Well, it took an extra 12.5 years, but the wisdom tooth they didn’t remove then is out now.
hurray?!

Congrats! You have no more wisdom. 
Also, kudos for finding your post from 12 years ago in order to quote it.
Turns out, not a lot of people have said “Wisdom Teeth” on here, so it was easy enough to search 
Oh man I’m so sorry. I actually just went through this myself and had 4 of them taken out on January 10th, 2025. Recovery only took slightly over a week with nothing but liquid food. Then I could eat everything I wanted again.
At the local Kissimmee Walmart, which @mgosdin may frequent as well.
They’re taking out all of the self checkout units.
EXCEPT the ones for Walmart plus. So, you have to pay $90 a year to just check yourself out at the Walmart now. LOL
I haven’t seen them doing that, but we don’t go to that particular WalMart all that often. Not surprised since the self checkouts make it easy to walk out without paying for an item.
Not fooling with Walmart +. Not worth it.

Bought a figure New with a slightly damaged box.
Weights over 7 pounds. Open up to inspect. The base is the size of a frisbee and a mirror. Was wondering why her shipping if I got her from overseas would have been near $80. It’s the mirror frisbee.
I thought I’d post this here. With Slowhand gone it’s going to take us a little bit to figure out how to manage things without her. Some stuff probably will not be updated by us Mods we just don’t have the same amount of energy as the eternally young mistress. Going to try to keep up with the Birthdays and TANiversary threads at least. I have a little more free time during the day then the other mods usually but last week had a loss in the family. I’m a bit less emotional than the others in my family. So trying to gather photos from the others for a slideshow (which has not been the simplest of matters) and help where I can for the services. Been using a tablet for so long forgot how much of a pain a normal computer can be to use. 
Sorry I’ve been gone so long, guys.
After losing Sagwa, I took a trip to see my friend in NY.
Got back Tuesday evening, and then my new store had me working at midnight…
And despite leaving at 7:30, had to stay until 11, cause there was a meeting at 10am…
Then came home and crashed…
Then had to go to work as soon as I got up…
And this morning, had to go grocery shopping…
I’ll do my best to be more active and help around what I can as soon as I get everything situated.
Hopefully by the weekend…
Life comes at you FAST my friend. Keep on keepin’ on.

Glad to see you’re back!
Sorry that it has been trying for you.
But I encourage you to keep on pushing.
You just maybe will get a little something good through the bad. You never know.
Sincerely. Your TAN friend
AnimeOrder.
Found while I was stocking the Coke this morning…

For context, Mama Maou’s name was Evelyn.
