Anybody here ever paid $240.00 for a popsicle? I just did.

This afternoon, my daughter calmly told my wife that she needed to go to the doctor. She had stuck a bean up her nose and she had to get it out. Wife takes a look and, by golly, something is up there. One trip to urgent care and a red kidney bean has been freed. To calm her nerves, the nurse gave my daughter a popsicle. She's now happy as a clam. Of course the children's urgent care we attended doesn't accept our insurance, so we got to pay out of pocket.

As we were leaving, little missy pointed back to the urgent care and said "I need to put another bean in my nose so I can get another popsicle." She's 3, and apparently a chaotic/good. Too smart for her own good and ruthless Jeebus help me.

Oldest Son, when he was about 5. Decided to see if a popcorn kernel would fit in his ear-it did.
Dr. tried to remove it but ended up pushing it all of the way to the ear drum. We had to schedule time at the surgery center so that he could be put under anesthesia so that they could get in there and pull the thing out.
We paid a lot more than $250 for that fiasco and there were no popsicles.

He's now a Kernel in the military.
 
CPM 3V starts as a 5000 pound melt that gets made into three high pressure isostatically welded billets. We used to buy the whole billet (a heat) to minimize variables in our production and have it rolled to our specifications but we have started buying pretty much the whole melt which comes with some additional advantages.

That is all.
 
My wife is heat treating fries in the oven and Kobe doesn't seem to like the sound of the air fryer...or he just wants to make sure one of the burgers is for him. Not sure what his issue is.

He's definitely not getting one of my beers.

You just can't please some curs. 🤣

CPKs for sale forum has been busy. I thought you were supposed to hang onto your commodities like Gold, Bitcoin and CPKs in a bubble market?

There's often a difference between advice given and advice followed.

(I still have all of mine, if it's any consolation. "All" being a very relative term hereabouts.)
