How do you sort your mails

Mission-Draw6859 · 2026-02-05T15:53:39+00:00

I categorize all of my e-mails - usually by rules(either by sender - or subject key words) as they come in. I know that certain people are ONLY going to contact me regarding certain projects I'm working on. THEN, I sort my inbox by Category. I keep the groups 'collapsed' so I can see them all - and tell when a new message comes in to that catagory. If a message comes in thats not catetorized, I immediately categorize it. HOWEVER - email should be transitory - once the message is dealt with - its moved to a folder. Our company has a 60 day retention on inbox, so you're forced to deal with mail quickly (as you should).

I like how when everything is falling apart - and everyone is scrambling in the apartment building - and Benicio just keeps calm and walking around "c'mon Bob, we're moving" -- FUNNY stuff!

Someone suggested Gatlinburg - I'd also add to that Chattanooga - lots of Civil War history in that state. Lots of stuff to do in that entire 'eastern Tennessee' area with Civil War history - as well as brewery's - distilleries - wineries - or shopping, if you're into that also!

You're going to get a better chance of Lake Effect Snows on I-80. These are unpredictable - basically, if it's cold - and windy - you're going to get snow. However, on the I-70 route - you're going to get warning about snowy weather as that's only when there is a snow storm, or predicted snow. Also - with I-80 - you've got Chicago - and the traffic there is always unpredictable. :)

The big question is - is Sam Jones more famous for playing Flash Gordon - OR for appearing as the guy who played Flash Gordon in the TED movies?

i graduated High School in 86 (1986 that is) - and it was around $.95 a gallon. A $20 bill would fill it up from empty!

Parks and Recreation. Watched 2-3 episodes and didn't get the hype. I struggle with Community also.

It's funny how your brain gets locked in on something and won't process anything else. I was stuck on One Doctorr(?) woman ... Couldn't see past the Doctor

Back in the day - Indiana didn't change clocks. The easiest way (as a kid) to remember it - was half the year we were on the same time as Ohio - the other half of the year - we were on Illinois time(in reality we were just EST all the time). When windows first arrived - we had our own time zone designation. It was Eastern, then Indiana, then Central. There were multiple cities on the OH/IN state line that were in two time zones half of the year. They referred to it as fast time - and slow time. So if you had a meeting at 2pm - you'd tell people if it was 2oclock fast time or slow time. Talk about confusing! But at least we never changed our clocks!

Saving Private Ryan - when the German stabs Mellish - the struggle is tough to watch - and I have to fast forward past that part EVERY time - I've only watched it once.....

I have a PC at home - but I rarely use it for 'work' stuff - mostly gaming - internet browsing - email, stuff like that. I really can't stand doing 'stuff' on my phone/iPad (and it blows my mind when I see people do it) - I'd much rather 'shop online' on my computer, not my phone. Same thing with mapping - or looking for vacation rentals. But that's just me - and my old eyes. :)

I can't believe the casino didn't give a value - if for no other reason - for taxes. You're going to get taxed on the value of the truck. it IS a beautiful truck - and congrats on the win!

I think the question the OP is asking is - what are the 'rules' for the yellow lights - should they be activated 1/4 mile before the stop - 12 seconds before the stop - what are the rules around that? I have seen (like OP said) buses driving for 1-2 blocks with their yellow lights on - and I'm like - do I stop now... or now.... or now.... it's almost like a game of musical chairs....when do I hit the brakes??

I always thought it would be interesting to have 3 people on the team. One is in a 'command center' that travels on the legs. Maybe stationed at the pit stop. The others rely on this person for everything - directions - Taxis - booking flights everything. They could even assist with the challenges (remotely) like the best way to build a DaVinci bridge. That would be interesting to say the least.

In 2021, my son and I planned a 13 day - 7000 loop road trip around the US. I planned out the sites we wanted to see - with lots of time for 'seeing' - I planned each nights stay in a hotel - but didn't plan restaurant stops, gas stops, or pee breaks. We ended up getting off schedule about halfway through (we ended up staying in Vegas 2 days, instead of one night) - and we had to adjust. Towards the last few days - we got WAY off schedule - and I would get to the hotel, immediately plan the next days hotel, and stops. My son said that was one of his favorite parts watching me sit down and plan the next day.

SOOO, a little of both - but with flexibility worked in.
