One just opened in the old Rite Aid building near me. I haven't gone in one in ages. I may wander in just to look around.

I remember having lots of Pickachus, a few Ashes, maybe a Naruto or two. One year I was visited by a Totoro, but otherwise nothing very niche. Did any adults recognize your character?
Dad lived there once upon a time and now makes an annual trek to Fantasy Fest. I've done Zombie crawls, but never a bike ride. How does one pedal or steer with mangled limbs? 😄
Haha, the year before the carport harness thing, Dad did a mummy in a coffin since we had ready access to refrigerator boxes. I love that you held the candy in there! Gotta face one's fears to get the reward!
I don't know what to say. That's a whole lot for anyone to process in one month, much less a 9yo kid.
All on the same day or did you space them out?
Sounds like a dumb question, but I am married to an action figure collector, and we have made a few marathon toy runs to allll the stores over the years.
And I love that your anniversary is Halloween!
My husband would get wild upset stomachs before we went out on a date. His aunt would tease him that he was allergic to me. It was anxiety.
I could spend the whole weekend with him in his apartment, and he'd feel fine. It only happened before we planned to go out to dinner specifically. Lunch was nbd to his brain.
If it's bugging you not knowing and you don't want to wait until your clinic appt, then yes, urgent care would be able to at least tell you if it's an emergency cardiac event and send you on to the ER, or if it's something like afib and it can wait to follow up with an office visit.
Guys, I think it's time to talk about the elephant in the room.
I do want one. I've even designed it. I can't decide where to put it that aesthectically pleases me.
Husband sent me this pic that he found on the site formerly known as Twitter. I'm impressed that they either found sock yarn/#10 thread in dayglo yellow, or that they used basic cotton thread and found dayglo yellow fabric dye.
...The semi was headed west when its raised bed slammed into the overhead sign near mile marker 200 as it approached the I-64/I-295 split.
Virginia State Police said the crash happened shortly after 9:30 a.m.
"The cab continued on and then stopped, obviously, because it had separated from the bed of the tractor-trailer," Matt Demlein, a spokesperson for Virginia State Police, said. "We're still investigating as to what led up to it actually hitting the sign. It was empty at the time."
Troopers do not know why the bed was raised or how long it was up before the crash. But officials said the truck had stopped at a weigh station about a mile earlier, which is equipped with cameras...
Imagine a moonshiner so notorious, so untouchable, that even the law couldn’t haul her in. Picture a whiskey queen who ruled from a rugged fortress in rural Tennessee, and that’s where history buffs will learn of the legendary Mahala Mullins.
Catch-able, But Not Fetch-able Mahala Mullins wasn’t your average moonshiner. In fact, through the mid-1800s she was one of the most notorious bootleggers and sellers of illicit whiskey in Tennessee. It wasn’t that the government didn’t know about her. They did. It’s just that, whenever they came to arrest her, they couldn’t quite get her out of the house and down the rugged Appalachian Mountains.
Records report that she had a dozen warrants for her arrest, and numerous treks by officers were made through the 16 miles of remote Hancock County backwoods to her cabin. So even if the revenue agents made it all the way up to her house, they’d never be able to lug her back down. Because of this, lawmen would say she’s “Catch-able, but not Fetch-able” due to her tipping the scales at more than 600 pounds. Mullins would even taunt them by saying, “Take me if you can.”
Working from Home Sometime after giving birth to her 19th child, Mahala was infected with elephantiasis, which permanently enlarged her. Eventually, she grew too large to move from bed. And from her bedside, she’d pour and sell whiskey in large quantities to locals, confident in her immunity from any sort of punishment. At the time, moonshine was noted as a way to “let loose,” medicinal, a cleaning agent, or a preservative. Mahala’s famous pear brandy brought in customers from all across the mountains.
Mullins was too large to be moving around the home. So, she took on the entrepreneurial mountain woman spirit of conducting operations that supported her large family from her bedside. She was often open in saying that it was not wrong for her to make a living in that manner. Mahala’s cabin was a special reserve for her, as her husband and sons had lost their lives in mountain fights and were buried in the backyard so that she could gaze at their gravesites from her bedside.
Mullins always seemed to be confined to the mountaintop ridge in which she lived, having spent her childhood and adult life within a three-mile radius, never venturing to town or seeing a railway train. However, she delighted in visitors and conversations, having been known for telling a great story and offering cookies and milk to her guests.
Around age 75, Mullins passed away and was removed from her cabin through a hole that is now occupied by a chimney. She was buried in her four-poster bed beside her late husband and sons along the ridge on the homestead.
Melungeons in Appalachia Mullins was also noted as one of the most famous Melungeons of her time. Melungeon is a term that first appeared in print in the 19th century, used in Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina to describe people of mixed ancestry. The Hancock Couny area was known to host one of the largest populations of Melungeon people in the country. Melungeons were considered to have a mixture of European, Native American, and African ancestry. And, Mahala Mullins was just as about as mysterious as her heritage.

Very good points. I based my comment on a personal experience with family, and they were not endangered by waiting a few days to see a cardiologist. I didn't know there could be other causes that are critical enough for the ER. But I should have guessed because I know it is similar with tachycardia. Sometimes someone's had too much Red Bull, and sometimes it's a birth defect in the nodes in the heart and heavy sedatives are needed to calm that down.
