exactly why I don't live in California even though I love it, I live in one of the shittiest cities in RI, but I don't have kids and don't care that the school system sucks. I get really good ethic food though, and my home purchase price was a fraction of that
Mark, I've been happily married for over 20 years, she digs the jorts. I didn't feel the need to have mini me's, probably saved the world from alot misery by making that choice, ymmv
I was so sure that I didn't need kiddos that I got fixed at 18
Long after, been a lifelong fan of the jorts. I have left explicit instructions that I be buried in them, the ones with holes worn in the ass. You're welcome to come and pay your respects when it happens
That makes sense. I believe that you subconsciously recognized the trauma your jhorts would cause any future progeny; and that was the major driving force in your decision to check your genetics out of the evolutionary soup so early.
or more likely, just maybe, my family wasn't the nurturing, safe space kinda peeps and I didn't have any interest in re-creating what I went through, again ymmv
But they, like you did also not approve of the jorts so that is likely why I love them so, a peaceful protest I will carry on till I no longer breathe
not that I'm aware of, but I haven't seen or spoken to them in over 2 decades, maybe one day you and them will see the light. I don't care one way or the other
I purchased a new Winter Coat a week or so ago, but it has a "lifetime warranty" and was marked-down from the former, already cheap price. It's a 'North Face' brand that's very Wind-proof.
Got a new hydraulic log-splitter for a great deal, as my other one has some minor mechanical issues. It's almost paid for itself in terms of dealing Firewood compared to piddling around w/ repairs and NOT dealing Firewood. That machine was on clearance, and I had a 10% coupon + no sales tax, so I can always sell it. Hydraulic splitters hold their value pretty well.
Transmission lines were rusting out on the Truck, and I paid someone else to do it, even knowing I could save a few hundred if I did it myself. However, that was worthwhile, because a running Pickup can deliver Firewood, which make$ income.
So I've got food in the pantry, and the Dog is eating well. My guess is that it's a break-even Winter with slight profit after expenses.
Life is a roller coaster and I'm adjusting to changes. My dad is 1217 months old and I'm spending a lot of time with him
The in-laws are aging and struggling a lot. I may consider myself retired but I don't think I can handle it. Some of the five kids are An endless PITA. I just started making a Stainedglass and of course I start with the most complicated piece in the world that's just the way I roll
One thing that shook me up on Monday When Phil started Txr I made a commitment to see him as much as possible because who knows how long all of this lasts. I was super committed the first year and then seen him dozens of times each year . Not all of the experiences have been that amazing edpecially those involving the Terripin family band
last Monday at the house party he literally blew my mind as one of the most melodic and amazing and beaming players I've ever had the pleasure of sharing time with
I will figure out my metamorphosis and Soar again towards the heavens. there maybe an occasional icarus flying to close to the sun but that's all part of the big party. hope you are well

The gf made fun of me because I wouldn't buy myself a $4 sandwich last weekend. Was having a slow week and didn't hit my financial goals so I didn't spend. Next time I make my goal I'm going to get a trim at a salon.
