OT - NO POLITICS We’re on to Thanksgiving

[Gee Wally]

I hesitate to share this but here it goes. My (half)Brother died last weekend of heart problems caused by vein injury and infection in his knee. We were both lone wolves and only moderately close because of it, but I am still sorting through it.

He was one of a kind. Rough but kind, full of conspiracy theory and dry, sometimes off-color, jokes. He worked mainly as a handyman, but was also a very good artist who sold his stuff for fifty or a hundred a pop....People would see work he did as a hobby and say "How much? I have to have it." Unfortunately, he did not have the confidence to paint and draw full-time. imo

I request prayers for my sister who was very close with my brother, and has other serious things on her mind and heart.
As for me, i tried to call him more the last few months, and I am glad I did. I can't feel his presence anymore, which I sort of used to, and I wish him Godspeed. May he rest in peace.

Im so sorry for you all and your loss.

Sorry for your loss QBF. He sounds like quite a character. May his memory be a blessing.

Somebody needs to tell TSN that Green Day is NOT a Canadian band.

My prayers are with your sister and you. No matter what or how you are sorting through your feelings. Family can be complicated. But I will pray for you too to find clarity through all of this.

Thanks we were closer than I make it sound.

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. I believe in the power of righteous payers, so thank you.

It rains in Vancouver?

So rarely it's barely worth mentioning.






(Please, for the love of god tell me what the colour blue looks like. Is the sky always grey? Is everyone constantly drenched. My family has me hostage.)

In the past I have signed my name on important documents as “Jed Clampett.” So often apparently, that I had been entered into “the system” as having an alias. For example:

rfournier103
DOB - XX/XX/XXXX
Address - XXXXXX
Known aliases - AKA: JED CLAMPETT.

This came up in a job interview once, and thankfully my interviewer was a fellow Westfield State Fighting Owl who had the means and authority to delete that from my record. I had no idea it was even in there! I’ve told that story here before. I suppose the biggest lie you can tell someone is that you’re actually someone else. I’ve told some whoppers in my day, but I’d say that’s the biggest.

This reminds me of Gilmore Girls and Squeegee Beckenheim

My uncle passed away in his sleep last night.

He was 91. I feel very, very sad. But I feel sort of at peace knowing he went in his sleep and is now reunited with his wife. Just an unexpected type thing.

I don't know what else to say really. Just wanted to say something. Life is just short. And time is not enough.

Comforting Blessings to you ....

Thinking about getting a Fitbit....just need something basic for tracking steps.

Any suggestions?? Android only please..

Not mad about staying cozy at home prepping for thanksgiving on Wednesday.

I love a rainy fall day.

Still feels surreal that my uncle is gone. He was such a great man. If you knew him, you loved him. I will miss him so much.

I have the charge 5. Very accurate gps and step counter. I'll walk 1000 counted paces then check the counter and it will be within 10 steps or so.

I had a charge 2, or 3, to register steps and get a Health insurance discount. The steps were very accurate, but i must be insanely out of shape because it was super generous with giving me “active minutes”

Overall, if you just need a step counter there is no need to get the latest and greatest. The only gripe on the older Fitbit charge models, the adjustments you make are all on a phone app and can be clunky and limited. Things like which exercises can be selected on the watch, the default display, the order of certain menus, etc. just a pain in the ass to tweak

This is the most useless week at work.

Cancel it!

 

[Seidenbergy]

This is the most useless week at work.

Cancel it!

Motion seconded.

And a preemptive motion for Christmas week next year when it falls on a freaking Wednesday.

 

[NeelyDan]

I get a huge portion of my *actual* work during the holiday season

 

[rfournier103]

This is the most useless week at work.

If this is the most useless week at work, then the week between Christmas and New Years is a very, very close second.

Ain’t nuthin’ get done.
