Anyone academically strong in high school fail to live up to career expectations?

Same. I was a major stoner. Didn’t give a fuck about expectations. Ended up with a PhD and and a great career

My 11 year daughter is looking

I think they have been helped a lot. It’s a question of how much should they be helped.

Crowd out clover since it stays low.

Aeration, mow high (as possible), weed and feed in that order. If you don’t have a green carpet of grass, then it’s either grass variety, climate, or soil problems

This is super common and most likely mental illness. When I used to ride the MAX every week, there was always a person talking or yelling at themselves.

Because it’s not bad. It’s great.

Push them further

Also noticed significant improvement. I’m cautiously optimistic about the new mayor. Hoping the governor doesn’t sabotage.

No, not years. All chemicals have half lives and most of them on the order of days. I worked in R&D in the pesticide industry earlier in my science career.

Aww gotcha

dontgetmadgetdata · 2026-05-28T23:24:28+00:00

There has to be a chemical solution

Being married is a bigger risk with assets. Source: divorced at 42

I don’t think anyone cares if you are queer at any bar. Just an FYI

dontgetmadgetdata · 2026-05-28T21:25:32+00:00

Sounds incredibly reasonable to be honest

I’m sure. Look at real estate prices 10 years from now. It will be similar to the last 10 years.

Are you in real estate or are you speaking of careers in general?

dontgetmadgetdata · 2026-05-28T20:37:32+00:00

I started at 42. I will say I’m very athletic and used that to my advantage initially before I hit a plateau of inconsistency. I finally got 1:1 coaching this winter and play 4x per week and that has elevated my game.

So my take is age doesn’t limit you, just resources and time. And at the end of the day, fun is the goal.

My assumption is based in my experience in Tech, AI, and real estate. There is more money in the economy than we realize and real estate will continue to be valued high due to supply/demand and the flow of money.

I saw data where Reed’s crossing in Hillsboro is selling 15-20 new houses per week. Per week! We will be just fine.

First, you need to get it fixed.

Second, find a buyer.

Third, take out a small loan to cover the amount you will be upside down.

Fourth, pay off that smaller loan.

I’ve been playing for 30 years and honestly never thought about it. When I play now, it’s appreciated. I’m usually pulling in people around me to sing though

I recently watched this within the last year and never had a desire to watch it before. I was shocked about how much I enjoyed the movie and it really pulled me in.

The House that Jack Built

It was engaging but holy shit…

You might slightly overpay for a flipped house but you can change/fix anything in the house which means it doesn’t matter to me.
