There’s nothing worse than someone on an absolute power trip.

You never disapoint

My legs are still not used to all the walking I have to do every day. I think it is time for some new shoes. Does anyone wear sketchers and if so, do you like them? I am looking for support but also lightweight because it is hot as satan's balls here.

Brooks Addiction..,pricy but your feet and legs will love you for them....

Cheers, you bunch of geeks!

Be safe and have fun!

We had a big situation back east. We lost 7 men on a fishing vessel, the ship caught fire in the Atlantic, they were missing since Wednesday. They abandoned the ship and were found safe on a life raft yesterday. I’ve never shed so many tears in my entire life.

Absolute miracle.

That is a miracle! Thank you for sharing!

It’s insane man.

nothing short of a miracle. The odd of making it out alive is probably 1% - These guys are so tough too. One of the guys was upset because he lost his guitar in the fire, but even more upset that he didn’t have a smoke in 2 days. He lost his darts.

There will be a movie about this, no doubt.

Those guys are built different, man.

Wow... thanks for sharing. That is THE best 2024 summer story!

No politics I'll respect.... but what a time the world is going thru right now! And the free world country is struggling imo.... which is not a good thing for all of us.

A while back my then-brother in law had a warehouse gig at Frito-Lay. Union work, just loading and unloading trucks all day with boxes of deliciously salty snacks. Pay was great, union backing, but hours could be long.

It's certainly worth checking out if you are looking for a change of pace. Keep the food service thing in your back pocket still. You just never know.

Job im interviewing for and the one I really want is merchandising. You basically drive to stores in ur own car and stock the market with chips that were delivered in the back.

M-F I believe 40 hours $20 an hour benefits and all that

Starts at 8am ill be there between 730-750am

Sorry to hear you’re going through a lot of shit right now. That sucks but you’ll come out the other side stronger. You got this man.

Only thing I can do is keep going. The world wont stop and I have bills.

Merchandisers make good money. Especially if you can put in some time and get your own route, or a couple extra stores. I have a friend that owns his own bread route…left his career in Walgreens management where he was crushing six figures with ease.

Merchandisers have a good gig. You get milage, get to drive most of the day, just put chips on a shelf. I wouldn't mind that if I needed a job.

That is a lot of wear and tear on a car that you will be responsible to pay for

The best line ever I heard from a south Bostonian.

“Olive Garden. Fine Italian cuisine for Irish people.”

The IRS business mileage is .67 per mile, supposed to cover that.

The bigger liability in driving for business is insurance, actually. He'll probably have to get coverage up to a higher premium.

I also have this app called shotstaf. Its basically for restaurants or whoever is doing some sort of event or are short staffed. They list what they need and u apply

Like right now im awaiting 5 day shifts that will net me $500

My point still stands

Learn a trade. A real one. Or will be stuck in this cycle. Never to old to learn something new.

Go where she’s wanted and seen as a key piece, especially if the coach knows what they’re doing, which should be development and having fun.

My 10-year-old son got cut from a BHL American North team, despite being the fifth leading scorer on the team. He’s now on an EHL team that missed upper gold in parity, but has a coach who teaches and isn’t trying to win with an all-star roster. While I have some concerns about the competition level not being high enough, he’s with a coach who will elevate his play and hockey knowledge. That’s a huge plus in my book, one that supersedes the concerns.

That's where I'm leaning towards but will ultimately leave the decision in her hands as it's about her being happy and not what I think. My wife and I will certainly advise her and give our opinions, but she's the one playing so I want her to be comfortable and confident.

He will need to buy commercial automobile insurance, personal auto insurance policy will not cover what he is going to do.

Looks like she learned a lot this season.

She really did. I was downloading a lot of video from my phone to my laptop on Friday because I didn’t have much space left and I watched a bunch of clips of her at bats from 2 years ago, last fall, and now and it’s night and day. She’s improved so much defensively as well.

Okay, hear me out....

On the day Wally comes back let's all pretend things went to complete shit today and it was a historic day of fighting and deletions. Everyone just vaguely make reference to it without being specific.

But nothing interesting happened today, how would he believe it?!
