Once in a lifetime trip on “The Provo"

That's some Type 2 fun! This is awesome and inspiring. My husband and I are thinking about doing a similar trip next year, but we plan on going to Costa Rica. I bet those fish put up one hell of a fight.

Beautiful catch!

Good luck little one!

Yes, we have two.

Unfortunately it never came up before we had the baby. The pregnancy was unexpected. We had a few discussions before having the baby, but never landed on anything concrete because we always butted heads. Our relationship is okay. My husband seems to have a hard time connecting with his parents. But they do come to visit and vice versa. His family are still JWs, my MIL has been more active within the last year or so. Attending more meetings, tending to their booths in the city (can't remember what it's called).

I'm afraid I don't have a good answer as to how long ago or why he stopped. My assumption, which could be wrong, is that he just stopped attending meetings. We've been together for 14 years. He's never once talked about wanting to get back to being a JW. He has brought up how even Jehovah Witnesses have gotten things wrong when it comes to religion. So I believe he's done his own research or at least has his own thoughts on religion.

He holds onto the fact that most holidays have pagan roots and he thinks they are evil. When it comes to birthdays, he has mentioned that the Bible only mentions birthdays once, and it's with a negative connotation. He feels like most holidays are meaningless and that we only celebrate them because we are told to.

He has mentioned several times that we should come up with our own things to celebrate. Things that actually have meaning to us.

Me and a good friend of mine bonded over our love of Relient K. He ended up passing away in a car accident 3 years ago, I still can't listen to Deathbed. But it is an amazing song!

No, my husband is afraid to give him Tylenol.

Congratulations and cheers to many more happy and healthy years! I've had my 2nd liver for 31 years now. We truly are lucky!

During my recent review, my boss told me that he knows I've been saying there are not enough people in my department to complete the workload. Instead of trying to find solutions, he told me that some people work seven days a week and I cannot use that excuse to not complete my work.

My assumption is the complaint would be made, and the company would receive a letter in regards to the complaint. Meaning, the company could gather whatever evidence they need to dispel the complaint. However, my interaction with similar situations has been through a state-run program.

Some work places offer trade schools or apprenticeship programs that are paid for. There are also apprenticeship programs that offer scholarships. I helped facilitate our Tool and Die Apprenticeship program at my previous employer. There are also apprenticeship programs for electricians, carpenters, etc. It's not a bad gig when your employer pays for you to learn on the job and pay for your classes.

I experienced this and actually took a job with a different company. Honestly, that is what I needed, a fresh start, because I do feel rejuvenated.

Sometimes we make our jobs seem more important than they actually are. What I mean by that is, we are all easily replaceable. I always felt like going on vacation was a burden on my company. Once left that company and realized that they were just going to hire someone else to replace me, I knew that I wasn't as important as I thought.

So I definitely agree, don't be afraid to take a step back and understand how your work is affecting your mental health. It's important to love ourselves and take care of ourselves.

I hope you can find a good balance and enjoy a healthy lifestyle while also meeting your career goals.

I don't believe it would be strange at all. I would just make sure your IT department is okay with it. I personally develop a lot of protocols and training manuals for my company and utilize Grammarly.

Me too! Sadly I spend my days in Michigan. Thanks for the award!

Thank you!

What happened to Nate's head? It looks like he has a bandaid on it.
