I had a call from a Maryland number where the caller ID read “DOMINANT ONE”.
I didn’t answer, but sadly no voice message was left to appease my curiosity.
I told my wife, who said “well, if that’s how you want to spend your bonus…at least take some pictures for me.”

I really enjoyed this heartwarming story.
Nonpaywalled version:
Mine was gifted so should have been accessible?
Nope.
End of last year my son’s GF and I were driving together for an hour or two, we got to talking about education etc. She mentioned that she was thinking about going back for a masters. I went on a rant about maybe stop thinking about it and start doing it. She’s not tied down anywhere, their COL is dirt cheap, my son is making $140K or so a year and can comfortably afford to pay for their household and school, so stop talking, start doing. Which, she actually did. A week or two later she applied.
And today she just texted me her acceptance letter! Woohoo!
I just ordered her a hoodie from the school to give to her as a celebratory gift.

Damn Globe and Mail. They only give me three gift articles a month and this one was a dud.
Damn globe and mail. Back in the days of dead trees they used to call me once a year and try to sell me a subscription. I’d tell them sign me up, except you don’t deliver to my small town. Suuuuure they do, they would assure me. I’d sign up. Couple days later, sorry, we don’t deliver to your podunk backwoods town. Otherwise I think it’s a pretty good paper.
It’s the best paper in Canada but expensive: I pay over $1000 a year for home delivery and online access.
I have a Grope and Flail subscription: do you want me to try to gift the article?
I have re-posted the Globe link: can you tell me if it works now?
Worked. Thanks!

NA has been collecting dust in the corner of the garage all winter?

Well, given her progress in the Running Thread, once she’s dusted off - she runs like a dream.

After this bitterly cold winter, there is a great chance we need to replace our batteries before we are going anywhere!
