Sprite, 7-up, and Sierra mist are almost always found on a soda fountain but never the diet/zero versions.

Its a long story but basically, I hurt my shoulders/arms/neck and its incredibly difficult for me to open screen/storm doors. You know, the ones that are "spring loaded" so they close automatically.

My parents are going on a trip and I want to be able to go outside. Inside the garage there is a storm door and regular door. They were thinking of leaving the storm door propped open with the metal piece that stops the pneumatic door closer from closing.

The car will be in the garage. Could fumes from the turned off car seep into the house even with the storm door open and the regular door closed? Also, is it bad for the storm door to be open for 5 days? Could it break the pneumatic piece?

What'd you do, buy a Twin XL thinking it was a regular Twin?

No, there was a super old twin spring mattress that became horrific to sleep on. It fit perfectly in the platform. Decided to get a new mattress in a box and its a little bigger to the point where it doesn't fit and we didn't even put the protector and sheet on it yet.

The platform has like a raised lip so it doesn't fit. I thought all twin mattresses were the same, but apparently some are wider and longer than others.

did anyone else have the big sewer set?

dealing with undiagnosed shoulder injuries that never bruised or swelled right now

I don't get the appeal of houses that look like the inside of a doctors/dentists office. its so cold and clinical looking.

without doing an "in between" type of game like a 2D side scroller using 3D models (like New Super Mario Bros) or a Super Mario 3D World type of game.

They went full on 3D with open levels. Its still so impressive that they pulled it off. It could have been "meh" like other 3D platformers that companies were trying to make at the time.

They would put cameras on them and make them go into "haunted places" and do challenges like put your head in a box for 30 min.

In the above case, it's hard to say why they settled without more info (which is public record actually. So you can look it up.)

I found one case of his on some site. It seemed to be about a person who had a wrist injury who wasn't properly taken care of. I wanted to read more but the site doesn't let you back in after you view it once. You have to sign up.

Where are the public records of these cases?

The healthgrades website has doctor information and reviews. I booked an appointment with an orthopedic doc from a practice a neurologist gave me a business card for.

I came across his healthgrades profile and he has two malpractice claims:

2 Malpractice Claims Found

• Settlement (0)Hide details
• Amount or Range: $124,500.00
• State: Florida
• Settlement (0)Hide details
• Amount or Range: $275,000.00
• State: Florida

Not sure what this means.

The problem with "wait and monitor" is that many people have waited long already. Most people do not like going to the doctor for obvious reasons (cost, scared, etc...)

People will wait to see if they might get better on their own and if the problem doesn't go away, then they will go as a last resort. I feel like most people know if something is seriously wrong with their body. An appointment might be weeks away. If the patient knows something is wrong and the doc doesn't run tests, the patient feels like they wasted time and money.

If the patient doesn't get better after being told to wait, they lost trust/faith in the doc and doesn't know if they should go back to the same doc or try a different one. The doc probably thinks, "oh my patient didn't come back, he must be fine."

The size guides only tell you the waist sizes not the lengths. Unless I'm completely missing them.

Went to Aeropostale, American eagle, and Hollister sites and they have small, medium etc listed with size charts that state the corresponding waist size but never the length. I even chatted with customer reps and even they didn't know.
