Fire and rain - James Taylor

Or sometimes Never Going Back - Fleetwood Mac

When it’s driving me nuts I blast the song and sing along on repeat a few times and it stops.

Couldn’t even find Havard.

Navigated Boston a few times using only a road map (long time ago). My spouse and I always cite it as proof our relationship can handle anything.

Been using this lately and really like that all my searches don’t result in 200 pages of products.

I love all this but it would survive contact with my family. :)

I have tried to set stuff like up but mainly in my wfh office and then just as an experiment.

As someone who has purchased gas there several times and once entered a Walmart, I can attest to the fact that Red Deer exists.

S-mart sells replica gauntlets just like this.

The “Russia has more freedom than the US” narrative is almost as confusing to me as the idea that Trump is someone you want to represent you. I know people think this but I just can’t understand how they also are able yo navigate the day to day requirements of life.

Like, how do they determine what food to eat? Nothing but Pizza Pops eaten thawed but cold? How do they survive?

I feel like science should have been able to achieve this by now.

UHC systems sometimes get overloaded and lead to overworked doctors and nurses making errors, too. I am Canadian and the provincial government where I live is very conservative. Their goal is to wreck the public system so people are ok with increasing privatization. It’s working.

And this is why you don’t exit a job by soaking the bridges in jet fuel and lighting them up with a flamethrower.

I have left jobs where I literally wanted to punch my boss out but stayed professional and got a
good reference.

I have also watched people lose their minds and yell insults and threats while being escorted out.

Your ego is bullshit. Leave on good terms and get a better job.

First Gary in sales, then it’s time to take on Putin.

• Always have a folded up piece in your pocket and a pen. As you complete your transaction write “grocery $37” on it. Later enter into a spreadsheet (do the same with a phone by using a note taking app, Google sheets, or whatever)

• have a set of folders, one for each month, in a file drawer or a hanging file box. This month’s file is first. When you get home dump your receipts in it (and bills, etc). At the end of the month pull out the file and track what you want to track and shred any unneeded paper. You can leave useful reminders in there so they turn up next year and remind you to renew things, etc. Place the folder in back. Now this month’s folder is in front.

And so on.

Wouldn’t snowbirds just load up before leaving our socialist paradise for the winter?

I have a hunch it’s them telling all their Bridge partners about how they access medication that contributed to popular support for this. :)

I have been using computers since the 80s. I had a hiatus in the late 80s/early 90s. Seeing an ad in a magazine for HyperCard is what made me want to get back into it.

My brother is ten years older than me and works electrical. I worked as a cook then got into programming. I’m in my 50s.

We both have a chronic illness that causes spinal fusion. I look like a hunchback and his posture is normal.

So trades can wear you down, I got out of cooking for my health, but all the movement and exercise can be good for you if you don’t wreck your back and knees, I guess.

I know few people who earn a decent living as a “handyman”. Jobs too small for contractors or not sure who to call, you call them. You can get a lot done with a truck or trailer, some basic tools and outdoor yard equipment.

Edit: word of mouth recommendations are now you grow the business. Always give out two business cards and ask them to pass one on. One guy sends out a carefully written, well designed email quarterly with things you might want to do around your home and his reasonable rates.

Electrical involves less working in messy situations but you’ll also be cold more often.

I do think electrician offers more ways to specialize (network cabling, alarm tech, etc). Plumbing may also but I’m not as familiar.
