Right? Ha. My dad won't exercise, he says you see old guys working out and then they die of a heart attack. He would rather just relax. My grandfather had full denchers (age 94). Watching him brush his teeth in the sink and leaving them in a cup on the counter to soak/clean didn't seem half bad.

Not the parent, but what I've recently seen in Northern California is all underbrush and low branches gone. They were specifically prepping the area to manage fire. Quincy area.

Northern California gray water and black water is treated and sent to Southern California as drinking water.

So it depends on where you are.

I was getting 1-5 three second voicemails a day. Robots being detected and sent to voicemail, then detecting and hanging up on my voicemail. I added 30 seconds of music to the end of my "please text or email me" message the voicemails have all stopped.

Honestly, if you are wondering "why I'm spending time with these people", you should find a different group of people.

People you are excited to share with, see and spend time with.

Good groups of people are hard to find, but make a big difference.

I don't think he was asking for advice. Ha. To your points, being honest is important, being sensitive and not rubbing something hurtful in is also important. Some times you can share your excitement, sometimes you need to share your feelings without your excitement.

I've been married for 14 years.

It could be a deal, it could be a steal, or it could be too good to be true.

In either case it's a red flag that should be carefuly evaluated.

If you are talking about fast food, I would opt for self checkout so that I can place my order in 10 seconds instead of waiting 2 min for a cachier to fumble with the machine. (or miss understand me, or punch it in wrong, or whatever) Grant it, not all cachiers are terrible but consistency in fast food sells, and machines are consistent.

That's what we did with our TI86 calculators in the 90s. Fake memory Clear was the name of one app. Teacher looks and sees what looks like a formatted calculator, clears the calculator if they want, then you exit the app and access your notes, games, and apps.
