I’m in the same boat, I love talking with my friends, but I always forget that I have that option. Once you leave my circle off proximity, you might as well be dead.

Nope. I actually remember a time when the Internet didn’t exist, and I didn’t have a social life then either. At least through the power of Internet, I can group chat my buddies when we can’t get together.

We homebrewers will be the thousandaires of the end times!

When the world collapses, nobody’s going to care about gold.

Stock up on bottlecaps instead.

So i need to annoy him into doing healthy stuff.

Sounds more like you get annoying when he’s sick.

I would not want to stay in bed drinking tea with an icepack when I’m sick, and it would frustrate me to be hassled about it when I’m sick.

Maybe just leave him be instead of getting frustrated with non-existent problems that YOU are creating in your head.

Some people care more about money and titles than personal well being. And there’s nothing wrong with that, for THEM.

By demoting yourself, THEY think that you are now less of a person than you were before because you don’t have any extra letters after your name.

But really, a 2% pay difference is nothing, and you’re essentially making the same money to do an easier, less stressful job that results in YOU being healthier than before. They might actually be a little jealous.

It’s not real exciting, but phone chargers make great stuffers. Everybody can use one more.

I’d be fine with a fake one, but my wife prefers real ones, so that’s what we do.

For a large bearded man, I do a mean Part of Your World.

The Widow- Mars Volta

Surprised to see Mars Volta! It’s a little too high for my range to try it in public, but I could get down with Televators.

Beautiful song

Under the bridge- Chili peppers

Jeremy - Pearl Jam

I will survive - Cake

Thanks for the tip. I saw many people saying both sides, so I figured I’d just avoid soap and not find out for myself.

This is a HUGE “Yes, but.”

Entering adulthood, I got cheap run of the mill non stick pans, they work until they dont.

Then we tried cast iron. Gotta oil it, cure it, and don’t use soap to wash it. Some extra work, but it worked great.

Now, I’m rocking stainless steel. Less work than the cast iron, but you need to preheat the pan before you put anything in it. If you do this, it’s just as nonstick as the others, and it’s a lot lighter and easier than the iron, and I think they are less expensive than cast iron, but I haven’t compared in a very long time.

It WAS magical compared to bring forced to watch/play all the stuff that was otherwise available to you, but your definitely spring some rose colored glasses here.

Yes, I also have great memories of walking the shelves searching for the Nintendo game we’d play this weekend while my parents picked out a movie or two, but I think you’ve forgotten the feeling of seeing that the one you REALLY wanted was out of stock, or rushing to head out the door in order to avoid a late fee, or forgetting about last week’s late fee and having to pay twice as much to rent this weeks entertainment.

It was an experience that no longer exists, but it was objectively inferior to what we have available now.

The BEST kind of good!

Reading this post made me sneeze.

No lie.

I do remember Homer saying at once point “Kiss my hairy yellow butt.” So, they do know they’re yellow.
