I worked in a kitchen the summer after graduating high school. Overall, the best thing I could say about that job was that it kept me motivated through college.
However, I always found washing the dishes at the end of the night to be a peaceful time of contemplation. The task required no mental effort, so my thoughts were free to wander.
That was a topic my retired friend mentioned. When she decided to retire, she wasn’t sure she wouldn’t miss working. So, she took a part time with another group where we work. She did that for a few months, then realized that she didn’t miss working. She re-retired and hasn’t looked back.
Movers are definitely worth it. I’ve done a lot of moves, first myself, then kids, and movers are worth the price.
My wife had a business for about 15-20 years, so it made sense to pay an accountant to do the work. The business is gone, but we still pay them to deal with our taxes. We send them all the papers, they send back the return with instructions and an invoice.
I’m torn on the yardwork concept.
I don’t like it, but I like having a nice yard. Or at least, I did 30 years ago when I had both time and energy to do it.
In the intervening time, I tried paying people to do it, but I was never able to find someone who didn’t do a shit job. Now I find myself trying to reclaim parts of my yard that the landscapers let go wild.
Andrew Johnson should have been convicted when he was impeached.
I got one that is just a little nozzle that fits into a used soda bottle or water bottle.
I hate the taste of beer, but I love horseradish.
I’m so confused.
If voting still works, and I hope it does, the other thing people need to do is run.
School board. Town Council. County government. State government. Friggin’ dog catcher.
We need real people. People who have worked and struggled. However, as you said…
the limited capacity of the overworked, underpaid average American citizen.
I’m not sure how anyone could manage it.
I suspect if they tried, the OSCE monitors wouldn’t be allowed to enter the US.
Don’t forget about their left.
No telling who they are apathetic about voting for.
If they are too dumb to know they should vote, perhaps we should let them be.
Sitting here reading this wondering what kind of shithead thinks cats are killing children. Is it the “cats steal your breath” bullshit again?
Then I read on. Oh “cars” not “cats”.
Ok… Is it a butt plug made out of tacos, a butt plug in a taco, or a butt plug for when you’re having tacos?
It looks like the only age group that didn’t increase support for Trump in 2024 compared to 2016 was 65+.
Am I reading that right?
I once said that you can overdose on anything, and the girl I was hanging out with said, “that’s not true! You can’t overdose on water!”
I sardonically replied, “They call that drowning.”
You can overdose on water, and it is different than drowning.
Drink too much water too quickly and it can cause a potentially fatal electrolyte imbalance.
Being debt free.
Because the flirting is working?
Like a male bird showing off an ornate and colorful tail to attract a mate, the male nerd demonstrates his earning potential by being excessively nerdy.
People around here acting like being a nerd doesn’t attract women.
I like to listen to Christmas music in season. I don’t start until after Thanksgiving is over, and I end on midnight of Christmas day.
I listen pretty much all day everywhere. At home, at work, in the car.
People have complained.
I explain that I spend all year wanting to murder everyone around me, and listening to Christmas music reminds me of a time when I didn’t believe everyone deserved to be murdered. It’s an annual mood reset that takes me back to a child-like baseline of kumbaya bullshit where everyone can be kind and love each other.
It doesn’t always work. There have been years when the ignorance and cruelty interfere with the reset and I stop the music and embrace the hate.
Those are not good years.
Listening to a month of Christmas music seems a small price to pay.
I like all of these.
