"Jenny"? Everyone knows her name is Vera.

I use Carbonite and like it. It's easy to use and I can access my files from any computer. It doesn't have the "share with others" feature of Dropbox.   I have a spare HDD in my PC that I also dump stuff to as a backup. Makes it easier to just copy from the spare drive if I ruin something, but Carbonite has me covered if the whole PC goes south or is stolen.

Understatement of the night:   "Confrontation's never been somethin we've had trouble with."

  No doubt, but you replied to gjohnsoniv's "FIFY" post as if he was editing your post to remove your comment amount pandemic drug abuse.

As to the topic at hand, it's a legitimate topic for a pediatrician, but no more so than general safety in the home. It could easily be handled with statements rather than questions. That gets the information to the parents and it remains none of the Dr's business.   Examples: If you have chemicals in your home, like bleach, detergents, bug spray, or a jug of battery acid, please keep it locked up and inaccessible to your child. They don't understand that it can hurt or kill them. Please be sure to always use a child safety seat in the car. Here's a pamphlet with contact information for where you can get one at no charge if you can't afford one. Look for one with (whatever seal of approval is the one to go by these days). If you have firearms in the home, please keep them locked away from your child. Hiding it on the top shelf doesn't cut it. Kids WILL find everything in your home. Here's a pamphlet from the NRA with some suggested safety guidelines. While we're on firearms, here's another pamphlet from the NRA's Eddie the Eagle program with a child-centric approach to gun safety. even if you don't have a firearm, you still need to teach your child the information in here because you never know what they might find away from your home. Be sure to check the batteries in your smoke alarms. If you don't have smoke alarms, please get some. The local fire department usually has them for free for people in the community who can't afford them. etc.

  The "fix" was changing "the desire of the Dems to take 'em up." to "the desire of the .GOV to take 'em up." It wasn't about the drug issue.   If you think there aren't people in Washington with an ( R ) next to their name plus a crap ton of un-elected bureaucrats with neither a ( D ) or an ( R ) who would love a disarmed populace, then look closer.

Guns and Leather is $10. I think it's a bit more ($15 or $20) for the computer-controlled lanes at the Greenbrier location, but the regular lanes at Greenbrier and all lanes at Hendersonville are $10.   I think Sumner Gun & Supply is also $10, but don't quote me on that.

Don't get me wrong. While my own postman is great, USPS as a whole is something I do not trust. If it's important, it goes FedEx or UPS if at all possible.

My postman is awesome. Much like Trekbike's. When he comes by on Saturday's if I'm out we always chat for a few minutes. He always gets a Christmas card and gift.

These should have been invented earlier. Foam-rubber ear muffs for elephants in 1969 to protect them from the jet noise at Heathrow airport. There's a video here: http://www.britishpathe.com/video/elephants-with-ear-muffs

Here is an interesting look at the aftermath of the Cecil incident on lion populations and the hunting industry in Zimbabwe:   http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/02/25/cecil-effect-dangerous-for-lions-guides.html

The M1 Carbine is up to $881 with the buyer's premium. Just a touch on the high side. :)   The Gen3 G23 Glock with friggin' laser is up to $467.50. The condition looks OK and with the Crimson Trace that's not an awful price. It's no steal, either, but probably the closest thing to "deal" on there.

No problem with the TFOs on my G26 or G19, but admittedly I'm not a gun abuser.

  Plus that means fewer crayons and Starburst candies melting into your floor mats.

  Doh! you're right. Crew Cab Std Box = 239.57"

  A Chevy 1500 with the standard bed is only 1.5" longer than a Tahoe, according to Chevy's website. Most SUVs are based on a truck platform and the exterior dimensions of the SUV vs. truck don't change very much.   Tahoe = 204" 1500 = 205.57"

I agree with getting it back to the town ASAP. For all they knew, there was a case or 10 of "pop" in the back of that truck. Don't stop for a vending machine. Just get home. They don't know whose truck that is, and with Darryl's double-run in with Negan's guys, they know there are others out there and they're not the friendly type.   The hole in the story right now is why has Darryl run into Negan's goons twice, but Aaron never did in all of his runs? Maybe Negan is new to the area.

Zombieland Rule #1: Cardio

Everything's going to smell like watermelon for a week! That was awesome!

Then it must have been on TTD. Someone definitely said about two months.

Thinking about the PC, printer, photo thing: I should add a thumb-drive to my bug-out kit with family photos on it. I'd hate to lose those and my cloud backups would probably be useless if there's ever a need to bug out.   It also makes me wonder why the kids don't have XboxOne and PS4, and the adults don't have a killer DVD collection and big screen TVs. They have electricity. It's not for a lack of free time. The kids have time to hang out and read comics. The adults have time to sit on their porches and make art sculptures.

  About two months. I don't recall if they said something about that during the episode or if it was on TTD. Probably got a few rain showers during those months to help wash down the streets and such.   Aaron had pictures of Alexandria for recruiting so they have some photo capabilities. That's not surprising though. These are modern homes so you'd expect them to have PCs and printers. If not, it wouldn't be hard to find some along with digital cameras and ink cartridges. I doubt anybody raided the local Staples for printer ink during the zombie apocalypse.

I assumed the noise was him bouncing around on top when they turned down the dirt road and it wasn't as smooth as the paved road, but yeah, I'm with you. I expected him to be on the back bumper and was surprised when he wasn't when Rick pulled away from tied up Jesus and they showed the back of the truck. But I did note that they did NOT show him in the side mirrors and it seemed as if Lincoln was trying real hard NOT to look at the side mirrors.

  I was waiting for Yakety Sax to start playing at any moment.
