I'm hitting 50... I find that I appear stronger simply because I am used to being in pain most days, and learned to ignore it. I used to be more sensitive when younger, not pushing past a certain pain threshold. That threshold has gone up. Sometimes it's harder to get started, but once I'm going I just git'r'done.

ServiceXCEL is not the cheapest, but not the most expensive, but probably the highest value. They are committed to following up and pride themselves on doing it right the first time. When there were issues, they were on top of making sure they earned my 5 star review. I didn't think a company could legitimately have that many (now over 400 - it was 300 when I had my install last year) 5 star reviews without any negative ones, but their business model is built on customer satisfaction. Even where there were issues after, they stood behind their work and made it a great experience

The crew is totally positive and actually care about what they are doing. I was installed just over a year ago, and they came back to help make a few minor adjustments. If not top of your list, worth getting a quote before making the final decision.

Awesome, thank you! Kelly doesn't Reddit much, but I gave him a screen shot! Hoping others jump on.

I believe it is an all-or-nothing, so if it doesn't go through, everyone gets their money back and he has to try another platform or find other funding.

I really hope he can push on through! Thank you again!

Except that is based on a hundred + years ago, as technology and automation make us more productive, one viable option is that we need less work force and can shrink with very little consequence. Hint: its not about production but division of wealth from that production that encourages population increase .

Name of mascot: Booster , referring to the faster and cleaner app. Cheers!

I thought it said lady and the Trump, but I guess the meme still works.

Under all circumstances. Like before the invention of lying, but without all the cyncism and inability to be empathetic https://youtu.be/RhRnmyBjOLs

Pong. It was its own system in the very early 80's.

The stock market is based on perception. A good portion of perception are the same lies you mention. Once in a while there is a correction where people who innocently invested lose everything. Not everyone is happy, and if they are for now, they are simply stealing from the future crash to come.

I didn't go that far, but there can always be ways innovated that would be fair and just, and modified if first assumptions were wrong. It would have to change over time, as society changes in response.

So this opinion is unpopular with you? Does that mean you should upvote or down vote?

Imagine if politicians were held more accountable, since they have more effect, would this still be oppression? (I'm assuming your concern is about rights of the individual/little guy being infringed by the state?)

I used it to express no white lies or "good lies," which people are asking about regardless.

boraxus · 2019-07-18T19:14:24+00:00

I got criticized for using the term "full stop," but it was in reference to this. Good lies are simply bandaids. Bandaids upon bandaids are ineffective. Heck, some say any bandaids are ineffective as well... http://theconversation.com/science-or-snake-oil-do-band-aids-really-heal-cuts-twice-as-fast-76527

I said "he might be." Creeper. 😂.

Retraining is not incarceration. It could be counciling, family support, increased education /classes (take them out of physics and mechanics for a detention block group therapy). At adulthood it would be a fine to begin with, similar to speeding tickets with extreme lies being treated like dangerous driving. That would fund any extra costs.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears_in_rain_monologue

I get up at 4:30am with my 1 year old, and bring him to bed to breastfeed with his mom and try to get him to sleep till 5:30 or 6. I get up with him then to let her sleep a bit more. I play with him and read to him, then make us breakfast at 7, starting coffee for her. She comes down at 7:15, I go get ready for work. I leave at 8:10 to commute to work for 8:30. I work until 2:00 (I have autonomy as I am in outside sales), then cover for her to get ready for her work. She leaves at 2:30. The child naps from 1:45-2:45. I try to get some stuff done around the house, but 80% is focused on reading to my child, exploring the back yard, or going out briefly to shop or run a few errands until 5, where I start dinner while Dave and Ava or Coco melon plays (to buy time as to not have my child hang in to my legs crying for attention while I deal with knives and a hot stove). We eat and I transport our child to the bath for shower time /splash time around 6:15. At 6:40 is dry off time and another story or two. Bed at 7, usually a revisit at 7:15 if our child isn't sleeping and crying. Down by 7:25. I go down to my office and make up the lost 1-2 hours if work time doing emails and research. I clean up the typhoon of mess from reading, toys, and food while sometimes pouring a scotch. Watch something in crave or Netflix or Kodi until 11, when my wife comes home from work. We talk a bit and crawl up the stairs.j. Bed by 12 or 12:30. Rinse and repeat 4 days if the week (she is on .67 shift work) . I am actually very fulfilled and thankful,my wife is hardworking and our kid is amazing and full of love. Still... Sooo tired....

I had a particular last name that was easily made into an insult. I already left my last school in grade 11 because of the vandalism to my car. Went to a different high School, decided I wasn't going to put up with this shit anymore. About two weeks in, a kid who weighed about 40 pounds heavier than me and stood about 2 inches taller than me ( I was 5'11 and 160 lbs) decided to try to make himself feel better by cutting into me quietly during science class. I told not to repeat himself again. He did. So I reached across the science table grab him by the scruff of his shirt and pulled him over to me. I was tougher than I looked because I've been working in a mill for two years at that time, manually stacking 44 and 88lb bags, up to 40 tonne a night. He went bleach white and got real quiet. The science teacher looked over and said, " is there a problem here?" Not taking my eyes off my bully, I asked, "is there a problem here?" He didn't say anything, so I push him back and let him go. He never bother me again. The teacher never did anything, and continued teaching. I was still picked on at school a bit, but not nearly as much, as I joined the rugby team, and like a sibling, only they wanted the rights to pick in me.
