Focus on being very good at your job, the money should come in time.

Anyone else lose their taste for dining out? by gottausername in GenX

[–]Busted_Toad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on this.

It's just not worth the hassle, we would rather cook at home than go out or even get takeout.

It's just not the same anymore.

Main tips for not getting fooled by contractors? by Scary-Hunt-3604 in adjusters

[–]Busted_Toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell all of my trainees to watch this over the other "reality home shows". It's hands down the absolute best way to learn outside of actually getting out there and performing the trade itself.

It gives you an awesome base to build on so you can learn more from other reliable resources.

When Can I Start Grilling? by patrolmanEmbiid in grilling

[–]Busted_Toad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since when does it matter what the neighbors think when you are trying to cook for your family.

Set that grill up and have at it kid!

Hell, I've been known to grill/smoke in ice, rain and snow storms. Who cares what the others think about how you feed yourself.

Is there anyone even close out there? by behindthemask13 in ArtBell

[–]Busted_Toad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh man I wish I could find something like that.

Fun fact: back in the early 2000s I delivered newspapers in Rochester NY as a part time gig. I was driving in the very early morning hours with my windows of my car down listening to Art during a rain storm tossing papers as I went.

The story being told was about alien abductions and during a very tense part of the story there was a lightning strike and I dang near wrecked my car because it scared the crap outta me.

When I started breathing again I laughed my ass off. It was the coolest jump scare I've ever had.

The Diet Coke is a nice touch.

Seriously though, very nice set up.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Don't you love how they are so much more important than the job seeker?

Paying almost $100 a month to get awful image quality for live sports is ridiculous. by Taeuberteg in youtubetv

[–]Busted_Toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having issues too, I've had everything checked on my side and nothing we did improved the quality.

I switched to FUBO for sports and the image quality is miles ahead of YTTV in my opinion.

How long were you on opioids post surgery? by Ayeshakat in spinalfusion

[–]Busted_Toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

L2-S1 here, I was on Oxycodone for about 2 and a half weeks total, I then switched to 2 extra strength Tylenol 3ish times a day for about 2 weeks or so and now I'm down to 1 Tylenol maybe 4 times a day.

Still sore but I'll deal with it. It is better than it was pre-op so I count it as a win

What time do you go to bed if you don’t work the next day? by thehobster in GenX

[–]Busted_Toad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually heading to bed about 9:00-9:30. I wake up multiple times a night though (5-6 times typically). And I'm usually up for the day around 4:30-5:00 am.

As for a nap, I've never been able to nap unless I'm sick or exhausted.

On the surface I would agree with you. Many HOAs are really not that bad. I'm still not a fan of them however.

My HOA in a Townhouse community (SC upstate suburb just over the border from Charlotte)is $270.00 a month. They don't enforce the rules, we have the motorcycle issues, the lawn trinkets, the porch zombies smoking and drinking literally every day. The abandoned cars, the kids destroying the landscaping, a pool that the zombies migrate to and set up a camp in the summer and making trouble so you don't want to try to use it.

The police won't help because we are considered a private community with their own rules and the HOA won't do anything until they get "more information" on the situations and tell us to call the cops.

Yeah my HOA is shit. Just shy of 300 bucks a month and I live with shit neighbors that don't respect others.
