I rarely catch my kids’ colds anymore. My son came down with one last week, a pretty nasty one, too. My husband and I never caught it. We used to get their colds ALWAYS. Maybe I’ve just caught them all at this point.

After last weeks storm, my house took significant damage. When I woke up the next day and surveyed the damage, the last thing I wanted to hear from anyone was “well at least you have insurance.”
But, I already had plans to repair my roof, so my roofer called me the next day and said “don’t worry, most of the work I do is insurance work.” And in just a couple of days, my roof was tarped, the tree and debris was cleaned up and the repair estimate was submitted to my insurance. I’m not necessarily glad I have insurance, I’m glad I have a good contractor.

I haven’t shaved since Wednesday morning. Tomorrow’s going to be slow going.

I haven’t shaved in at least a month. This is the only upside to winter.

I mentioned to a colleague that my FIL is in hospice and they told me they hope he gets better soon. No offense taken, not everyone is aware of what hospice is, and maybe they misread it as hospital, but it caught me a little off guard! I just said “thank you,” of course.

My FIL was also on hospice for several months . . . and it’s not always the case of “the end is near”. My grandmother is now “on hospice,” but only regards to her medical care is now focused on comfort rather than treatment.

Yeah, definitely true. Jimmy Carter entered hospice a while ago.
But my FIL is no longer eating, so…I don’t think we are talking about months here.

Whenever I see that Springhill Suites commercial about families vacationing with young kids, it strikes me as humorous that the song playing is Roam by the B52’s. Do they not know what that song is about?

This popped up a few weeks back when I was booking some AirbnBs for our Peru trip next year. I was surprised the Italians gave the green light for such a partnership.
This morning, as part of that free Amazon stuff I can order, I got a full size leather recliner and massage chair, and a lat pull up machine.
I don’t have room for either of those.
I need help.

Some stuff it doesn’t let me order in Canada. There’s about 2k of hunting equipment I would have liked instead. No Bueno.
On the plus side, I’m starting to order a bunch of kids toys I’ll pass along to the local nonprofit.

Do you have to play with them first and then review them?

I do have to open them up and review them. I just try not to make them appear used.

So, EV charging. Most of your basic household electrical circuits are on a 15A breaker. You can adjust it in some cars, but for the most part if you’re charging an EV on a 110v outlet, it’ll pull 12A (80% of the rated 15A). It’s no worse than a portable heater but it’ll draw 12A continuously for many hours.
If you have old wiring, or old outlets, this will stress test things.

Saw an accident in the opposite direction highway this morning. Two cars looked like they were playing Pass The Pigs with their cars – one of the cars was in the “Leaning Jowler” position.
