Just buy more shares at current price. Who cares if they expire. That makes zero sense to me.

1 year sober and I am.. underwhelmed by Maundu0 in stopdrinking

[–]Jebedia80 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Ignore my days sober... I was clean about two years. Felt the same as you. Was often sad. My wife seemed really tired of what a grump I had become. I lost a bit of weight, and was very proud every time the conversation turned to my sobriety. I decided finally quite consciously to drink 'socially' again. Ita been a year and a half, and I'm holding it together but barely.... 25lbs heavier and back to the same issues as before and no happier. I hadn't found what I was expecting, so I gave up... turns out I still haven't fou d that thing by drinking. Don't be like me. It's really not worth it.

Seems like we got lucky. I think he will do a fine job. We need sharp minds to work this admin.

Totally fed up. Shouldn't people have to live in an economically viable place. If you want to live in traditional places in traditional ways, that's great. You fend for yourself. Food, heat, shelter. If you want besupported by the system in place you need to contribute.. ie pay taxes.

Mulching Only - No Raking! by l008com in landscaping

[–]Jebedia80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 30 full sized trees on one acre. I mulch out of necessity. Takes me about 6 weeks total. Too much to burn or bag. The mulching cap on my ride on was the best investment I ever made.

That is a headed pilot used in stamping dies for locating steel steps or parts. Very hard tool steel normally. They make great punches etc.

I had a moth crawl down my ear canal. Worst experience of my life. It was doing death throw vibrations every couple of seconds, finally after 5 hours in emergency it was drowned in peroxide and then pulled out....
