I mean, I guess it depends on what the truth is. Clearly the two of you have very different perspectives on what the underlying cause of depression or mental illness is. If your view is incorrect, it could also be equally irresponsible, could it not?

Awesome. That is great feedback, already. Thanks!

As a side note, the phone that I snagged during that promotion just barely arrived a week ago. And I ordered it at the end of November. I think you just ran into some unlucky timing, at least in regards to the delays in shipments that you encountered.

Sounds like your phone was so delayed because of a huge black friday promotion they ran that put their pixel stock a month or more behind back orders. My experience with them, outside of this one massive underestimate of how many phones they would sell because of the phenomenal deal that they ran, has been really good. Phones are normally in stock and ship almost immediately. And customer service is very responsive.

I just made the switch off recently. It actually is a lot more seamless than you'd expect. You can still snooze emails, and then "archive" (mark as done) everything that is taken care of/replied to/no longer needs your attention. Those are probably the two biggest pieces of the Inbox workflow that are pretty much identical in Gmail.

It's not quite as integrated, but all of the pieces are still there. For using reminders, you'll have to use google Keep. And for tasks without reminders, you can use Google Tasks.

On the plus side, it feels like Google stopped maintaining Inbox a while ago and it was getting horribly slow for me. The new gmail is amazingly responsive in comparison. I'm actually glad I made the switch for that reason alone (I had to make the switch before march because the Android Inbox App stopped working - it would crash within second after I opened it every time).

Thanks for the insight. Good to know ranges and what goes into those rates. I think I'm liking the convenience of going through an agency at the moment, though if I get an itch for more money, nice to consider the freelance route.

If you go into business as a contractor, is there an easy target to pick for the contracts you'll go after? Known sources of contracts? Or do you typically branch out from opportunities you know of or learned about while in the industry?

Thanks, appreciated.

I definitely agree with this. I'm just exploring the concept because I have problems that occasionally limit how much I can work - and just playing around with cheaper living arrangements that also work with that. Though, if I can find ways to make a lot of money without working a lot, that would also solve the problem.

That's really cool and probably exactly what I was looking for. Sounds about as cheap as you can go.

How expensive was it to get any utilities hooked up to your property, or was that already taken care of when you bought the land?

Just google yurts and see what I find?

Where would you typically park them for an extended period of time? Is that what you mean with zoning problems? Do people usually try to hang out in a large parking lot for long enough? Or perhaps just get outside the city limit in what looks like abandoned land?

Also, how do you deal with the waste water in the long run? Stop by RV parks and empty out your septic tanks?
