So, you make the decision on what type of sandwich to have based on the bread, and not what's inside?

Here it comes again, your next round of Biden Bucks.... ....."The second enhanced Child Tax Credit payment worth up to $300 per child is set to hit parents’ bank accounts next week on Friday, August 13. In July, the IRS and the U.S. Department of Treasury sent out the first batch of checks totaling roughly $15 billion to families of nearly 60 million eligible children. The monthly aid is part of the American Rescue Plan that President Joe Biden signed into law in March. Eligible Americans should expect to receive five more payments, distributed one per month between August and December. In addition to receiving a payment on Friday, August 13, the plan is to disburse checks on September 15, October 15, November 15, and December 15. https://grow.acorns.com/second-child-tax-credit-payment/

Ha.... the good stuff is in the middle, the bread is just a filler!

Exactly what I've been saying.. A ticking nuclear bomb..

I'll get this back on track.. What wifey made for lunch: Taylor Pork Roll Ham, Egg and Cheese. Don't I have her trained well?

We're down to the fourth box, the last three didn't work.

I still don't get where it's legal for Murphy to get in between a contract between a landlord and tenant. And, in true form, he discriminates... saying the Walmart worker gets protection during job loss, but the upper manager doesn't.' Murphy signs law to help hard-hit N.J. renters. It also ends eviction moratorium sooner for some. New Jersey’s eviction moratorium will end early for families above a certain income threshold under a sweeping bill Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law Wednesday that will also provide $750 million in aid for residents who have struggled to keep up with rent and utility bills during the coronavirus pandemic. Under the moratorium, landlords have been unable to evict or lock out tenants, though more than 60,000 cases were been filed with the courts between April 2020 and April 2021. Under the first of two laws Murphy signed, renters making less than 80% of the area’s median income will be shielded from eviction through Dec. 31. Those with income above 80% of the median will see the moratorium come to an end on Aug. 31. https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2021/08/murphy-signs-law-to-help-hard-hit-nj-renters-it-also-ends-eviction-moratorium-sooner-for-some.html

The Wall Street Bets kids are pumping like hell, just like Game Stop. The volume and volatility is crazy...

True. The tide is turning, and they're losing the narrative. The people who will hopefully push back have A LOT of semi auto weapons... Question is, will that happen? The push back I mean.

Or, do nothing.... again....

Weighing in on the CDC's moratorium extension is constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who says "President Biden took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to violate it when he can use the delay in any final order to get the money out the door." Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley ...What was astonishing is that Biden acknowledged that it is still likely unconstitutional but that they could tie it up in courts to get the money out in the interim... In so doing, he is admitting that he would be spending federal money without constitutional authority. 5:02 PM · Aug 3, 2021 Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley· 6h Biden admitted that "the bulk" of the constitutional experts consulted said that extending the moratorium would be unconstitutional. Yet, he indicated that he would still like to pursue it due to a couple of scholars encouraging him. Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley Given the ideological makeup of law school faculties, it is chilling that most of the preferred advisers to the Biden Administration admitted that this would be likely unconstitutional. It is equally unsurprising that there are a couple dismissing such constitutional concerns. 5:11 PM · Aug 3, 2021 Stalingrad & Poorski @Stalingrad_Poor Top comment; "If the CDC ignores the ruling coming from the SCOTUS then why would any property owner feel obligated to obey the CDC?"

He's pushing again today during a meeting, there's no reason to bring it up... unless he knows something is coming: @JoeBiden again calls for ban on "assault weapons" and "high-capacity magazines," which he claims includes all rifles AND pistols that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. "It doesn't violate anybody's Second Amendment rights..." 4:12 PM · Aug 3, 2021·

Maxine Waters tells the CDC to ignore the SCOTUS... still think there's the Rule of Law in this country? Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters I don't buy that the CDC can't extend the eviction moratorium - something it has already done in the past! Who is going to stop them? Who is going to penalize them? There is no official ruling saying that they cannot extend this moratorium. C'mon CDC - have a heart! Just do it! 4:19 PM · Aug 2, 2021

So, is the Biden administration thumbing their nose at the law? Sure seems that way... CDC to issue new eviction ban effective through Oct. 3 ....."The Biden administration is expected to announce a new federal eviction moratorium on Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the matter. The eviction ban will be targeted at areas of the country experiencing high levels of coronavirus infections. The protection will last for 60 days until Oct. 3, and should cover around 90% of renters. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/03/cdc-to-issue-new-eviction-ban-effective-through-october-3.html

Interesting, I put in my zip, expecting to see my LGS, but they weren't on the list. They're a big store, and I checked their website, and there's tons of S&W handguns on the site. You might want to check the website of your LGS to see what they carry.

Red Bank is a great place, and I was going to start there first. My local vet, who've I've been going to for over 7 years, has been a straight shooter, so I'll start with his referral first. But before the knife comes out, I definitely will be getting other opinions and diagnosis on what's going on. I'm not going to guess, it's too important. That's why I was hoping some others here might have had some first hand experiences. I'm more concerned on the long term results and experiences after surgery and rehab.

I just got my new bill last week, and guess what, another jump, what a surprise... even without a reassessment. I expect that next.

Thanks. We've already been there for emergency treatment when he was a puppy. My local vet referred me to a ortho specialist at Garden State Vet Specialists, right near there. He's got an eval there next week, and depending what they say, Red Bank is my second option. A few things can happen depending on the severity. The ligament over the knee gets stretched, or ripped, or can be completely torn from the knee. Hopefully, the MRI will give a better picture/idea what's going on, and if it really is the CCL, or something else.

Just like I alluded to above, the lawsuits now will be spewing out of the woodwork, just like cockroaches.

I believe that's the normal range for large breed dogs, 12-14 years. My first Lab made it to 13, and died suddenly from heart failure, in a few hours. I was prepared to do the same, and get her spleen removed. But the further tests showed it got into her kidneys, and the vet felt, at best, she'd get only another month, so why put a older dog through the surgery. That's why I want to tread carefully with my current dude's diagnosis, and not rush to a quick surgical decision, because it has to be fixed correctly, to get the maximum longevity, so he can stay active. We have a K9 Obstacle Course Competition to win!

I'm not concerned about the cost, I'll spend what ever it takes. I'm more concerned on the actually surgery, and which of the three methods are best. My dude is four, and very active, so If I go the surgery route, I want it to be right. He's got a lot of years left, and we got things to accomplish yet. Yeah, I've seen that in my research too. Seems like the dog puts too much stress on the "good" leg during rehab, and ends up injuring it too. Exactly what my last Lab died of, cancer of the spleen, at 10. Multiple tumors and metasticized to the kidneys.

The pup has been having more and more issues with his right rear leg. First blush, it looks like it could be a ACL or CCL tear in the right knee. Probably from running and playing hard, and this type of injury seems popular with Retrievers. I have an appointment with a orthopedic specialist next week with him, to do an eval and MRI. Doing some research on possible reasons for the injury, and seeing that there are three different types of surgery to fix this injury, if it's a CCL tear. Wondering if anyone went through this surgery with their pups, which method they used, and more importantly, how did the rehab and return to normal activities go. The LAST thing I want to put him through is going under the knife.

Running out of toilet paper is bad enough, but if this happens... it's Armageddon! ....."Alcohol sales rose dramatically during the coronavirus pandemic as some relieved stress with an adult beverage. But now, that could change as liquor shortages are metastasizing across parts of the U.S. Internet searches for "liquor shortage" have exploded to record highs this summer, especially in states like Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, and Ohio. According to local news reports in several states, liquor shortages are developing and leaving shelves bare. "I've never had it this bare," a bar manager in Durham, North Carolina, told ABC Action News. Take a labor shortage involving a lack of truck drivers, dock workers, and warehouse employees, then shake that up with backed up docks, slower manufacturing processes and more expensive raw materials, and you get a quick lesson in how supply chain economics is having a direct impact on small businesses all over the U.S. Everything from the labor market and the sudden re-opening of bars to a lack of glass bottles and aluminum cans is blamed for liquor shortages reported in Winooski, Vermont; Durham, North Carolina; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. -Forbes https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/liquor-shortage-looming

And, you didn't invite us?????

New report out that tells what percentage of renter are in arrears and behind.. It says that overall in NJ, that number is like 18% (data shows it varies by county, from 11% to 22%). So, one in five will be under the gun, and the moratorium ends today: https://precisionforcovid.org/rental_arrears
