Absolutely fucking brilliant.

That’s really a valid point.

Boredom after some period of time, you will have some everything there is to do.

Why? Is it not Hamas run? If it’s not Hamas run, then it shouldn’t be called Hamas run, but if it is Hamas run what’s the issue?

I use Plex’s download feature to make sure I always have music available. The same could be done for other media but I don’t bother.

My Plex server runs in my home and all my media is available outside my home. A travel server seems like a solution for a problem that doesn’t really exist.

I think PE teachers often get a bad rap. I’m grateful that you got a good one also.

Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.

I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the “captain” and I got to pick the teams.

My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.

Those two men were definitely my champions.

Today is my wife’s birthday, when she opened her gift it was a reMarkable Pro. So far we’re both impressed.

I’m a fan of capitalism, but not the kind of capitalism that decrees something is too big to fail and must be bailed out.

She was on a team in Kentucky 6th through 8th grades. She’s starting her Freshman year in Iowa.

Her response is sadly always the same. “Dad! I’d get in trouble!”

My daughter is an archer. I have asked her this question many times.

Your worth, your value is not determined by what someone else makes.

Also, I’m a bit ignorant of this subject so forgive me if I get it wrong, but did he not go to school significantly longer for his MD than you did for yours?

I believe he also had to go through the hell that is residency, I didn’t believe nurses do.

If you’re envious of his salary, improve your skills, or your education. If you’re happy where you are at In life, then don’t let the fact that others make more than you interfere with that happiness.

No matter what you do, there will always be others who make more, one of those sad facts of life.

When you call the cops you’re calling people who can kill you with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so. Just say no to calling the cops.

My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I’ll share anyway.

In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we’re touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn’t have it anymore. We left early.

Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.

It was sad.

Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash’s new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.

Hello ramble81, I am calling to check if your refrigerator is running… It is? Oh my goodness you better run faster and catch it!

What a lovely post. Thank you for sharing it.

I’m 60 years old, my father passed many years ago. I have still not come to grips with all the complexities of our relationship. My wife knows that if we ever see a film or TV show where a parent, but particularly a father shows any form of approval for something their son did, I will turn into a blubbering mess.

That said, more rational me knows that there were many ways in which my father was a good dad, if am willing to take the time to look for them.

I have three sons and a daughter, my greatest hope in life is that they won’t have the same issues with me as a father that I did with my own dad.

Thanks again for this amazing story about how even small things we do can have a great impact, and not necessarily on those we expect them to.

I really want to move my domain from Google to Proton, but family accounts at Proton are so dang expensive. Fastmail is far cheaper than Google, so that looks like it might be a really good option.
