This is a question many young men have to ask when taking home a date from a bar.
Especially in Thailand.-

What was missing from the OP's comments: pay to park, and pay to get in.
The nice thing about the free market: it is self regulating.
When these sellers start losing their asses because they can't sell over priced goods, they will either come down or go broke.
This is a buyer's market and high priced sellers lose out.-

Unless you have a steady diet of Gluten Free Ice Cubes, you are gonna find carbs in something.
Type 1 has to preempt their meal with a calculated dose of insulin prior to eating.
My testing show fast acting Humalog takes about 2 hours to peak.
I also find that simply walking for three 20-minute miles produces a very marked reduction in glucose.
OP, as you are finding out, you cannot sit on your ass and effectively control diabetes.
One of my clients is Latino and like so many, prone to diabetes.
He is a body builder.
He says "get big" and burn it.-

I get a whole lot of mail from various gun organizations.
GOA, GOC, CRPA, VCDL,The others appear to be more email harvesters, which cause all sorts of advertising in my inbox.
All these "gun" orgs are asking for money.Anybody have names known to be scams?
I like to donate to active litigators such as GOA, etc. -

My wife has friends in Buffalo and Niagara Falls who tell her the price of a hotel room for the eclipse is over $600.
The locals are very worried about the huge crowds coming to see this event.
The smart ones plan to hunker down and stay home until it is over.-

It matters not that folks vote.
What matters is who counts the votes.
The open borders have admitted huge numbers of military age men, Latino, African, Arab and Chinese.-

I looked into a tankless for our rental property, then went with a good quality conventional.
The tankless requires regular maintenance, meaning a scheduled event with the renters.
San Diego water has a high saline content, which might have posed a complication for an expensive tankless.
Be SURE you have a catch pan and drain under the heater.
When they let go, they make a big wet mess.
Mine was in an alcove off the kitchen floor... which got trashed when it let go without a catch pan.
I used my Harley bike jack to lift it up enough to slide it into place.
We were renovating the kitchen at the time, and I had to move a wall 5 inches to accommodate a standard diameter heater.
My house is 1960 vintage and the alcove was too small for a modern heater.
I chose a nat gas model that will light when our power goes out (frequently here). -

I live in spread sheets.
One of them has 346 places to live in the lower 48.Among many data points, I track the cost of living by median house price, property tax rate, and state income tax rates.
I have a "weighted" column that sums these three data points.
NV is the easy winner here.
Yerington, Winnemucca, Elko, Washoe Valley, Dayton, Carson City, Gardnerville, Reno, Fallon, Johnson Lane and Minden.
The downside is the eternal big wind that blows in the Carson Valley.
Maryville TN (home of The Widder) is #5.
Prescott, AZ is #36, and Prescott Valley is #37.
Boise, ID (my home town) is #54.
I filter out Blue states, and those places with weather I don't want.
I further filter out by Crime, Air & Water Quality, and Weather. -
They are already kicking around a progressive tax on the utility bills.
In my income bracket, this is a $73 per month tax.-

OP, you are beyond the 12 months period now.
My cardiologist is M9 and M16 certified, and said to wait 6 months.
I waited since September of 2022, still have not fired heavy rifle or shotgun.
I had 4x bypass, so 8 connections. You have even more.
A friend's daughter took some huge cannon on her first elk hunt.
She got the elk, but it damaged her shoulder badly.
She wound up in the hospital with a bacterial infection of unknown origin, which they cannot treat.
It is trashed her kidneys and wound her up on dialysis.
As of this writing she is still in deep doo-doo.
My suspicion is a broken bone that is leaching into the blood stream, but they cannot find it so far.
Tombstone Tactical is now selling the Ruger/Marlin SBL 45-70 on sale, but I will pass.
I really don't think I need that sort of pounding on my post-bypass body.-

My wife grew up in Buffalo, where they routinely had snow up to the eaves.
Not any more. -
Before they cracked open my chest for a bypass, they shaved me from neck to waist.
The floor looked like a torture chamber for Chewbacca.My sternum is wired together permanently with stainless wire, and is never removed.
It gives the TSA guys a thrill when I Assume The Position at the airport xray machine
Growing hair back is an itchy and actually long running proposition.
It took a damn long time to return to normal after growing in like hog bristle.-

OP, time to man up and face the facts: you are insulin resistant and cannot eat carbs without dire results.
You will have to be content with steaks, prime rib, pork chops, ribs, eggs, cheese, whole milk, half-half or cream in your coffee.
No more cereals, no more grains, no more potatoes, rice, no more cookies, cakes and pies.
If you can hunt it down, pick it off a bush or laying on the ground, yet can eat it.
If you have to cultivate it... nope.
If you go on a carb bender, you will find it takes about 4~5 DAYS of keto to strip all those carbs from your system.Your glucose meter will hate you for a week until you finally drain out.
You will become an intimate partner with the needle, and it still isn't enough.-

Somebody was telling a story about a catastrophe in one of those hotels that house migrants.
One bed collapsed, and 11 died. -
Yep.
I'm suffering outside in the 75-degree sunshine today, stripped down to shorts and catching the rays and my Vitamin D.There HAS to be some compensation for living in this political cesspool.

New guitar
in SASS Wire Saloon

So wonderful for you.
In 1963 my first guitar was the exact same as yours...
My instructor parted with it and I picked it up.
It was dialed in to perfection, and the best player I ever owned in a six string.
And then it got stolen.
The insurance replaced it with a Gibson 335 that sucked canal water.
It had a neck like a tree trunk, and was awful to play.
To this day, I think about that Casino every now and again... and it's been 60 years...
