I listened to that so many times on cassette! It and Sgt. Pepper are the reason i feel sad for young people who don’t get to experience the two sides of an album.

Lost my mom over a year ago. When something good or bad happens, i still reach for my phone to call her. I don’t know when that ends. I kinda hope never.

Weekend trips can be quick - day or two before. Longer trips that require time off take a little extra planning-maybe 2-3 months. Earliest I’ve planned was ~6 months for 7 people to go from US to Paris for a week. Planned about 4-5 months before Italy. It had to match dates with my husband’s work travel and i wanted to research lodging to make sure my 76 yo mom could manage the walking, stairs, etc.

I remember that despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. I think of it as the pumpkins’ version of the serenity prayer.

Pick the most lucrative and least likely to result in burn out as a job. Read, watch, travel to learn about and/or experience the others. Most people have interests outside of their jobs. I work in healthcare and i like to learn about new things in that area, but i also spend a lot of time on gardening, cooking, crochet, cannabis, and cute animal videos.

Honeycrisp or fuji apples. Cara cara oranges. Meyer lemons. Still undecided on the cotton candy grapes.

I don’t know why 25 people down voted that cute dog. I see posts all the time that have down votes and I have no idea why so i just move on to the next.

Health, happiness, and security for my kids.

My mom always said things like, “That guy is one tough motorscooter!”

Definitely not going to defend ercot, but that was a very strong wind. Easy for me to say; i didn’t really lose power or trees. I did lose a litter box.

I would stay bedside as long as you physically and emotionally can. Bank the extra $ and leave before you get too jaded. Then move to an educational or case manager position where students and/or patients can benefit from your knowledge and experience. You can physically work it up to (or even possibly beyond) retirement age.

Thank you for sharing!

That may be the best use for ai I’ve seen!

I’m oblivious and always have been. I assume every smile is a friendly smile and I’m ok chatting with almost anyone. I only really notice if someone says something creepy or touches me too much. My husband accuses me of flirting with everyone.

Good - I never have to work weekends or holidays (other than finishing a few things i didn’t finish during the week) and i get 8 weeks off in the summer. I have an office but i don’t normally have to go there. Unless i have a meeting or appointment, no one notices if I’m a few minutes late. I drive among about a dozen buildings so i get to see the sun and there’s always an opportunity to grab a drink. I work mostly with kids and some are hilarious! I love my team.

Bad- Driving and getting in/out of your car all day sucks when it’s hot, cold, or stormy. I haul a lot of things so my car is always a mess. Sometimes i have to work with or for unpleasant adults. Occasionally there’s poop or vomit.

My husband is an engineer. He loves his job most days.

I work with school kids who have disabilities.

My son does screenprinting. He really, really likes the job, but he works with an asshole.

Edit to clarify that he works with one asshole, not assholes in general.

I have electrical issues. Any chance you’re in North Texas?
