I enjoy poaching while in meetings, helps me think so it just made that easier. I used to stand 80% of the day now I find myself sitting 80% of the day.

I tried arguing with them that my name wasn’t “Current Resident” it went about as well as expected… lol

I put my girl down a year and a half ago. She was an eight year old rottie that loved life, Loved kids and loved me. She had cancer growing in her brain/snout that was making her angry, agitated and a danger to others. Could I have waited a month or two longer? Maybe, but she wasn’t happy anymore so it was time. I paid for an autopsy because I wanted to know, the cancer was everywhere in her skull/ muzzle taking up 1/5th the brain cavity.

Holding onto her for longer was unfair to the years of happiness she gave me. In the end I couldn’t be selfish and had to let her go. So maybe try that route with your wife? It was the hardest decision I ever made and I cried all the way to the vet and thought about turning around a couple of times.

My company does 16 weeks of fully paid paternity. I’m taking 9 weeks at the beginning and breaking up the rest over the year to help with this or that.

I am a little concerned as to what my job will look like when I get back especially with the political climate. But at the end of the day that isn’t what is most inorganic to me. My family is.

Is it always the same discord server? I got the message the other day but ignored it.

Then you are doing work from home right

“Allows you to control the downtime”

*unless your company infrastructure was designed by a 2 year old, you don’t have infrastructure admins that believe is still the wild wild west, and your Security team knows how to manage it’s av and doesn’t block the file servers

If I’m having a crappy day especially at work my answer is "Another day another dollar, how about you? "

If you absolutely have a desire to do any of these artistic, repurpose or whatever with these: put them out 100 yards and put a bullet through the top of it to make sure there is no propane left in it

You don’t want to give the people chasing you time to identify and disable the deadmans switch

Yeah I think the ability/know how to use the wood burning smoker is more important than actually using it. I can do it but after starting a family I don’t have the time for tending those longer sessions. But putting it on the pellet smoker and being able to forget it until the thermometer chirps is bliss

This is the way. I taught my gf this when she was wondering why her chicken wasn’t to temp after 30 minutes in the grill and mine was always done near the 20 minute mark.

It allows for a more even and quicker cooking.

I’ve thankfully been in a relationship for over a year. But when I was looking the dead ending the conversation was huge for me, I’d say a third of the matches did it. I used the 3 strikes rule, because sometimes people are busy and they just want to respond but don’t have time to continue the flow of the conversation. Which is fine.

I once has a girl follow up 2 weeks later asking why we didn’t go on a date? I told her that was the first question she asked me and I felt she wasn’t into the conversation.

Don’t be so desperate to get into a relationship that you try to carry the whole thing on your shoulders.

A surgery that my little one needed was being denied by insurance two weeks ago. Yesterday when calling for the pre surgery instructions we were notified that last surgery was approved. So we were doing all three requested surgeries at once and only having to put her under once.

I don’t know if this was the cause but there was a 180 on the approval.

Cold turkey worked for me. But it wasn’t this big thing. One day I didn’t want to go to the gas station to get more and that turned into, how long could I go? And now I smoke once a year on my friends birthday and HATE the taste.

It’s not a word but ‘…’ ok… thanks… I guess…

What do you want? Is it on our do you want something else? It’s fine…

Cmon…

I’m not sure if I was clinically depressed or not. But I definitely went through a couple months where I wasn’t feeling myself. My GF moved in with me this year and I thought it was just me adjusting with a new “roommate”.

I eventually realized it was the house. It was a mess and that was what making me feel depressed because it was hard to talk to someone about being a slob if you loved them.

So I guess maybe think hard about things that have changed and when you were happy and see what you can do to change them?

I know it’s probably not great advice but it’s free and it worked for me
