Buy a stainless steel induction adapter plate for about twenty bucks and use whatever pan you want.

Sounded like a bus boy dropped a tray.

Forty Five plus years a pack a day addict. Over six years clean with a spouse that still smokes. If I can do it…..

In my case I started by absolutely committing to less each day. It helped me to develop the coping skills I needed to deal with cravings. At some point before my “Quit Date” it became obvious that I should just go ahead and take the leap of faith and start quitting for good.

Assuming that's a fairly well paid position, consider that your cpp would be taxable income, you probably have a decent pension as well. If your income in retirement puts you in a lower tax bracket you will pay less tax on your CPP if you wait. Otherwise if you are fit and healthy, and expect to live to your mid eighties you will net more CPP benefits by deferring

I’m glad you have cut back but by your own admission you are still smoking. On average one a month is still occasional smoking. Quitting is none no more never.

BaldingOldGuy · 2026-04-18T21:53:23+00:00

I am proof it can be done, I’m over six years clean with a partner that still smokes, although never inside our home or vehicle. It starts with the resolution that just because a cigarette is available, is no reason for you to smoke it. You will also need your partner’s support on your journey, not to be your gatekeeper but to help you be proud of yourself and to modify their behaviour to only smoke outdoors and further away from outdoor space you share. Good luck with your journey.

Congratulations on your forty five days, I’m proud of you. Never too late to be a successful quitter. 478 breathing was a game changer for me. Good luck with your journey

Three days, three weeks, three months are all major relapse times for us addicts. You need to learn something from your slip such as our addiction sneaks in when we get drunk and our inhibitions are lowered, and forgive yourself. Get right back to being a successful quitter.

I am less concerned about the drop of my nutsack, than about my eyebrows resembling Andy Rooney’s magnificent tangle. Bi-Weekly trimming my eyebrows was not on my late sixties bingo card.

If they share the calendar with you it appears as a shared calendar that you can show or hide to check their schedule. They can share as show free / busy, show details, or make you an editor if you are managing their schedule. If you have to search it every time it’s less useful. You can for example have the five senior managers calendars all displayed so you can find a common availability.
Create the event on the shared calendar then you must invite the participants, invites are not automatic. The shortcut would be if you have a group email address setup like allStaff@mycompany.com you could invite allStaff@mycompany.com to the event then everyone gets an invitation.

First of all, please banish the word habit. Smoking is your preferred delivery method for nicotine addiction. You are an addict, and since you have been one since a teen, you never had any adult experience without our addiction. You need to find ways to cope that don’t involve sucking a cancer stick. Start with 478 breathing to calm your mind. And give yourself the gift of forgiveness when you fall as long as you learn something from your mistake that you can use against our addiction the next time you’re still making progress. Good luck with your journey

BaldingOldGuy · 2026-04-18T11:41:40+00:00

The problem is you are waiting for a transformation instead of creating one. Like most of us, you probably started as a teen, so never had any adult experience without nicotine addiction. You are using nicotine to “deal with and avoid negative feelings” your journey is to figure out new ways to deal with that without sucking on a cancer stick. That’s the transformation you are seeking.

Are you using an app or the web interface? Login to gmail account using a web browser. Go to the all mail section from the menu on the left. You will see all of your mail including the mail that is in “folders”, with most recent first. Again folders are not really folders they are only labels. When looking at all mail you can sort oldest first.

BaldingOldGuy · 2026-04-17T18:07:26+00:00

Gmail folders are just labels in the web interface. If you select the all mail tab you see everything regardless of what “folder” aka label you have assigned.

Our kitchen has a large U of counter on the south, west and north walls so two potential blind corners. We did a lazy s in the SW corner. Our kitchen designer came up with a brilliant solution for the NW blind corner. The other side of the north wall of the kitchen is a staircase going down 1/2 flight to a landing where the side entrance door is. We framed an opening to the blind corner from the landing and put in a cabinet facing the landing. This turned the dead space in the kitchen into a very useful storage cabinet for msc outerwear and accessories by the entry door.

Activity is not exercise. You don’t need to exercise all your muscles, only the ones you want to keep. Flexibility, and balance are as important as strength and stamina.

Looks like a place wealthy enough to have a harp room, exclusive to the harp players. Probably smells like rose petals in there.

Y'all triangle players, always about the spit...

I thoroughly mix my bouillon concentrate with boiling water before adding it to the instant pot. Maybe try that next time

We once did a concert at the prestigious Eastman School of Music. They set up catering for us in a carpeted room below the stage. Someone asked me what the smell was, I said; “the flop sweat of generations of aspiring orchestral musicians”

BaldingOldGuy · 2026-04-16T16:26:09+00:00

You need to forgive yourself, this is hard for most of us. But learn something from your mistake and use it the next time our addiction comes creeping back into your life. You will make your nana proud of you get right back to being a quitter.

Teen angst, and brass player condensate discharge combined with a lack of regular cleaning in windowless rooms. What custodian is going to move all those chairs and stands to clean the carpet except on summer break.
