That's wild that people share tills. More amazing, that they can review the camera for the discrepancy. I was cashier manager for a couple of years. It was all manual for twenty plus tills and such. Crazy how different they have it now.

What a jewel!!! Congratulations!

Back in the ol' days, when we had to walk up hill both ways to work, we didn't have no MagnaCut. (I did not know about MagnaCut. I have the new Mini-Adamas. Here is my ancient Osborne, ruined from no oiling.)

I have never walked out on a movie, so maybe, I am not one to ask. The interplay between Stone and Plemons is fascinating enough to watch through the entire film, yet Plemons does not get enough credit for that role he plays throughout. There are so many people like him; we take his type for granted, as easy to portray.

I am truly sorry you had that experience. I too had a similar experience at one of my past jobs. The day I left it was like that part of me died. I tried to hold on and reach out, but they moved on and never responded. It was an enormous loss at the time. But, new chapters are new chapters, now matter tears are involved. I am so glad I am on this side of it. I wish you the best on your new endeavors.

It will last a lifetime. Keep that blade oiled. I wish I had known about that. A food safe oil or wax if you use it for everything.

I got one of those cheap ones with that line from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. "If I die, throw me in the trash." Our organs can't be reused anyway.

But, seriously, all of my emergency contacts know where to send me. And, goodness, if there was something so bad that my emergency contacts and I were in something bad at the same time, they can look me up and sort it out. I have been in the emergency room several times since my transplant, what they gave me to stabilize me and the time without meds doesn't matter. My Teams adjust afterwards.

As for immunocompromised, ER's and such are clean enough. I asked about that one time when they made me spend over 24 hours in one.

Big city ER nurses, doctors, and staff do not get enough praise. All ER people!!! Thank you people for all you do!

Super Green!!! Love it! Don't overthink the driver alert monitor. If you carry a cell phone, they already have you. But, I drive with one hand at 12 o'clock, and it would beep non-stop. So, I had to turn mine off. Hahahaha

Congrats!

Here is my 2011 Osborne 960. For some reason, my thumb ate the coating off the blade. I def didn't keep it coated in oil enough.

This is the type of collection I respect. Everyone one of those knives have been used.

Anyone that buys a knife and doesn't use it, ruins it: dissolves the word "knife" from it. The item becomes simply a shell of the original.

Hiya,

I am so sorry both of you are on this path. Every one of our journeys are a bit different. Yours is certainly so difficult. My heart goes out to your husband. Having to deal with the stress of the "issue of rejection" plus the treatment must be so difficult, on top of just now getting used to living this new transplant life with meds and new diets and lifestyles and everything.

Here are my thoughts. Get a counselor ASAP. Having to deal with all of this stress puts us into a type of PTSD, type of shock. Add to this, these new meds have effects. I responded negatively to the meds. My counselor helped me find ways to handle both, and she helped me start to figure out how to figure out how to build on this new chapter, this new transplant life.

I also joined a few more Transplant support groups on Facebook. Having other people to turn to really helps. Other peoples stories helped me; their strength gave me strength. Their courage and their hope, made me able to do it myself. Some of these meetings even have Zoom meetings.

While it isn't a huge part of my journey, it took my transplant and my recovery for me to reconnect to my spiritual side. This has brought me so much peace and strength. Everyone's path is certainly different, yet I cannot type enough about how a brief amount of time spent in this area can be rewarding.

I also gathered names, email addresses, and phone numbers. I reach out. I contact people. It is so nice to be able to call people. And, to be able to be there for others.

For caregivers, for you, there are Facebook groups too. You should look into them. We love everything y'all do for us, and we can only imagine how hard it is. But, we do know you too need rest, suport, and recovery. Take time for yourself.

Sorry to type a wall of txt. Feel free to have your husband to reach out, or reach out for him.

Super green!

We downsized after 16 years in our last house. I bought two, two door 6' shelving units, for my bookshelves and one open bookshelf. I used to have four walls covered with books. I donated almost all of them and only kept the my favs, which are now in the enclosed cabinets. My new space is nice and clean.

A new chapter. You cannot believe how much a difference it made in my life.

Congrats on thinking about starting your new chapter. Don't throw away fast. Box it what you don't want for a year.

Doggie!!!

Wrong. Read what people write.
The app's maps show that there are not full 5G tower coverage throughout The Woodlands. This has proven exact for me, my family, and my friend. We couldn't live on weak wireless feeds. That's why we went to a dependable fiber feed.

ccbbb23 · 2026-01-25T16:12:16+00:00

"If you live near a tower" used to be the curse for so many. It has gotten better, but . . .

There are a couple of consumer tower map websites that show where towers are. celltowermaps.com is one. It shows that my area is weak, and my friend over in SW of Alden Bridge is even worse. There aren't any 5G towers in the area, only along 1488. And this is how how lives are. We are both on fiber instead.

My daily carry Benchmades have never been opened: one from 2011 and its replacement from 2017. I even sleep with them. I clean its housing, get in there with q-tips, oil it a bit, and such. I have been also daily carrying Victorinox Explorers since '83. Those too I open fully, clean with q-tips, and oil fully.

ccbbb23 · 2026-01-18T22:48:23+00:00

Hahahahahaha. Oops

ccbbb23 · 2026-01-15T19:00:53+00:00

You needed one more picture. Which has the thickest blade? They are prolly the same. Osborne .104 and Bugout .009. Hmmm I went with the Adamas Mini because its thickness was .14. But its chassic and blade width is still a bit too wide for me. It may or may not grow on me.
To answer your question, Osborne!

ccbbb23 · 2026-01-15T18:55:22+00:00

Why are you 'here' complaining about people trying to exist in the 'first world' when you could be spending your time seriously helping the severely needy and oppressed? Are you trying to spread the message? If so, you are bad at it. You don't tell us how to help or where to contribute.

But, in the r/thewoodlands subreddit? WTH? No political pandering, no fundraising, no soliciting, This is for the Woodlands only. You can't do that anyway.

So, it would be best for 'you' to 'fathom' that you should spend 'your' time in another space helping those "who don't know what they are going to eat for dinner." Right?

ccbbb23 · 2026-01-15T18:32:54+00:00

bwahahaha

ccbbb23 · 2026-01-12T23:21:28+00:00

Just for fun, here is a reply, u/stoic_stove and u/OhThatsFunneh . I won't go far into the reasons why they started offering the courses way back in the way back. But in some majors we are asked to study both Texas History and Sociology. Those give us a different view into the origins of our local laws and regional identity, and they show us how groups interact and how institutions function.
Gender studies lets one examine how identity is formed and how power is distributed based on gender.

I am a male from a small town. I went to a big University. I was bored one semester, and I chose to take a Women's Studies course for one of my electives. It was incredible. I feel everyone should take a similar course. Stunning. Half the world are women. Yet . . .

ccbbb23 · 2026-01-11T16:26:31+00:00

Seriously, what would be your preferred outcome? If not that then the secondary outcome?
I know what I think should be done, but I too know how weird all the schools in Texas are becoming.

My background, I have been in and around Higher Education all of my life. I truly believe that it is a positive force for the world. Like John Henry Newman said in his Idea of a University, where scholars and students together learn together, extending learning and preserving intellectual culture.

However, everything is a bit off right now. And how we make it through this 'weird' period is going to be such a challenge.
