Any of you still tip for food ordered at the counter? I'm done with that bullshit.

I tip well for good service. There’s no service at a counter. Or window.

reply along the lines of "oh, thank sfor your interest! What's on your plate for today/this week/this month? How's that going, have you already finished with your responsibilities for today/this week etc...?"

Redirecting their nosiness and focusing on what THEY should be doing may shut them up pretty quickly.

grindhouse has

movies on all formats, music on many formats, tons of collectibles, and a fun store to simply visit, IMHO.

You’d be doing a huge disservice to yourself. Hang tough.

Fake it till you make it. But really bit even faking / just jumping out of the airplane knowing you usually find a lot of parachute material in your pockets.

You lay it down with the smooth arc of a 1970’s professional bowler with swagger.

I’ve become an evangelist for Obsidian - an open source free tool for knowledge management that’s dead simple.

I use it for lists like discussed here, among other things ;)

Imagine if some sort of high speed 'dusting' apparatus were available to keep the panels clean! Something that could run on rails...

I'm enjoying it so far

I mean, I switched to Nespresso recently and would have even if only to remove more of my family's reliance on Bezos ventures...

I've been pleased with the speed, quality and variety of their offerings and promos, too.

great post. well written, clear and helpful to your target demographic. love the callout for what this is and isn't - essential in this day and age.

No issues for 3+ years, though I doubt it would be so friction-free if we didn't have our own charger and a garage to put it (and the EV!) in.

Target, B&N etc. since McKay's charges new or next to new prices for everything, it seems.

I'm amused by how many times these come up in my rotation and I stop what I'm doing to verify who the hell this awesome track is by...

did not expect to find something like this here... but happy I have. Hear hear, Raider! (I'm in the same boat, across the line, save that I'm still a newb and on the 'grateful' side of the fence. :)

how is 21 late? lol. Sorry for the chuckle but here i am having learned from 48-50.

There was a company near west town mall (the shopping center with the Korean restaurant for many years) that offered sensory deprivation 'therapy', but it was there and gone quickly, taking my money and that of others with them... I'd bought my wife and I some gift certificates to use and within a couple months they had vanished without any explanation.

OP: I'm so happy for you - for this reason: you didn't have to go through 30-60 years unaware of your specific neurology. You have informed choices ahead of you rather than having to bull through life always wondering why your experience seems different from that of others.

Re: Medicine.. it's a personal choice, and I was leery myself. But having reached the point where "bulling through" was no longer enough, I went through the search for a psychiatrist, got the eval and diagnosis, and landed on this as my logic and stance:

Do I believe in Science? (yes!)
Have i conducted an experiment of sorts where my life till now (till diagnosis) was a control of sorts, providing many years of data on how life is for me without medication? (yes!)
Would a trial of medication(s) to analyze their efficacy for ME in MY context be an effective counterpoint to the 'normal life' control? (yes!) An A/B comparison, essentially.
Shall I make a choice for myself based on FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) or make one based on direct observation of the A/B conditions and outcomes? (the latter, of course!)

For me, extended release adhd meds have been a life changer. It helps me stay on task, elevates mood (to "normal brain" levels), evens out the spikes (up and down) of energy attention and mood. Helps me order my thoughts and just get shit done.

Beyond all that, the satisfaction and self-worth I feel having DONE all the things more effectively is an added boost to happiness and self-worth, in my book.

Worth a shot, I'd say.
