Never talk to management over the phone. Get it in writing either as a text or email.

I read a post on Mastodon from someone in Ontario Canada that was proposing shutting off all export of oil and electricity to the US. The thing that made me doubt this was they were also calling for impeaching 45 (again!). That would leave Vance which scares me even more.

My father's career advise to my brother and me was "Make lots of money so I can come live with you when I get old."

My brother didn't like that advise so he did a bunch of research and asked a bunch of people about their careers. He got a masters in an Engineering field but hated working in that field. So he got another masters. He doesn't use it for his career.

I studied Chemistry and left grad school to do software development with no degree in it (it was the 80s). I never used my degree either.

Confronting my dad about his bad career advise would have just gotten his Standard Response to Criticism™--But I'm lovable.

And no he never lived with either of us. But then he never go old.

When some random #MAGAidiot complains that one of Trump's new policies is hurting them, instead of blaming Trump, just remind the idiot "Isn't that what you voted for?"

Also, when some #MAGAidiot complains that Trump's new policies are impacting them, don't blame Trump. Ask the idiot "Isn't this is what you voted for?"

I wonder how well these would work over today's VOIP lines. AT&T and my local phone company don't sell wired lines any more in my area. All I could get is a VOIP line.

An ADA lawyer would be filing an accommodation lawsuit for each unit. It'd cost the landlord $40K/unit on average.

They should have hired a graphic designer who knew typography. Or someone who knew what kerning was. Extra points if they also heard of leading (as in lead-ing), although not relevant to this post.

Blink Blink. Stammer. "Ummm."

Before Medicare, I paid $1500 for a mid-tier Kaiser plan. It had a $6000 annual deductible which I kept in a tax deductible Health Savings Account. For the most part, I paid for routine stuff like vaccinations, yearly checkup and bloodwork, meds like statins, and a bid discount on stuff from their pharmacy. With Medicare, I pay $185 to the US Government and $199 to Kaiser for their Advantage plan.

I always thought it was named after Maynard G. Krebs. [you rang]

I wonder to this day what happened to mom's Lladro figurines and the Royal Dalton tea cups. I'm sure my sister got Nana's sterling and Mom's plate. It's really sad that the Danish modern furniture had to go before she moved up here but she was happy with IKEA and CostPlus replacements.

I got her pots, which was all that mattered to me. There's something symmetrical in making Boeff Bourguignon in the same pot you learned to make beef stew at age 14.
