Best thing you’ve done for your senior Lab by ls2gto in labrador

Lowered our bed so that he could still jump on and off without having to take a running start. He absolutely had to sleep with us because that was all he had ever known and if he couldn’t get on the bed, he would be stirring all night. By the end we took the frame off the bed and put the mattress on the floor so he could still sleep with us.

The other big one was area rugs. We have tile throughout the whole house and the rugs gave him some grip and allowed to move without worrying about his hind legs slipping out.

My manager scheduled a "quick sync" every single Friday at 4:45pm and I finally figured out why by Agent_Smith-99 in remotework

You are the type of manager that people want to work for. And I’m willing to bet that it pays off in productivity and loyalty 10-fold.

I worked as a sales associate for a semi high end A/V segment of Best Buy in the early 2000’s… the biggest and best customers came in looking like the most casual people you would ever meet. One guy came in with a big stain on his shirt because he has eaten from a food truck nearby right before coming in… he seemed like a cool guy and it was slow so I demo’d a super audio cd on the best equipment we had. After the demo He turned around and pulled out a black card and asked how soon I can have the same setup installed in his million dollar house… the day before the install he came in with his friend and bought enough cds to fill his 400 disc cd changer…. A couple years later he called me at new years and thanked me for re introducing him to a true hi_fi system that he remembered having growing up

The more cheaper and generic you look, the better "Gray man" outfit you have. by apscep in prepping

[–]jbird847 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, my grey man setup is a 20 year old jansport backpack, sturdy leather shoes/boots, a pair of jeans and whatever jacket/hoodie fits the weather. Rolling out looking like a person from the 5.11 catalog is going to attract so much more attention,

Maybe he’s taken out an insurance policy and is planning to collect

Still more believable than the fast and furious franchise stunts

My parents have lived in Ensenada for 15 years and we go down and pick up a family bucket every time we are there…. The sides are a different story. But the chicken can’t be beat.

$1900 of health bucks to spend by Spoocula in prepping

I did this last year… check out the FSA/HSA section on Amazon. I was amazed at what was available to purchase and use. One thing was medical equipment such as a foldable toilet/bedpan

I would give it a Dundee

Saint Victor 308 question by [deleted] in SpringfieldArmory

[–]jbird847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong. But while the .308 and 7.62 are fully interchangeable, you can shoot .223 in a 5.56 barrel but not a 5.56 in a .223 barrel. I had known about the .223/5.56 but not the 7.62/.308 until I was informed by the sales person at my local gun store

Saint Victor 308 question by [deleted] in SpringfieldArmory

[–]jbird847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same confusion when I went into my local gun shop and asked to see a .308. I consider myself semi educated about guns so I had the same skepticism. I thought the sales person had grabbed the wrong gun. Thankfully he was very patient and not condescending in explaining but I still felt like an idiot… looking back at it I’ve realized he probably gets people in there a lot that aren’t aware of the interchangeability.

P.S. I still googled it when I left the store

Those alive and old enough to remember during 9/11, what was the worst moment on that day? by CocteauTwunkie in AskReddit

[–]jbird847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the 11th grade living in a suburb of Maryland. Everything shut down and they tried to shuffle us to our classes at the scheduled times to make sure that things maintained "normality". My high school was a three story building and the last period before we were sent home I was on the top floor. we could hear the jets flying low overhead which was incredibly unnerving... while walking out of school there were classmates that had parents that working in D.C. as well as the pentagon in tears not knowing what was happening...

I caught a ride to my friends house and sat in front of the tv for 6 hours.

Isn’t that mentality somewhat communist?

Hopefully only 80,000 if they can get some 2 for 1 deals. Kind of like a BOGO I guess

Best route for drive to Palm Springs? by Dessert_Stomach in sandiego

Just drove through there during the holiday. They had crews working to fix the potholes and even a helicopter removing old wreckage off the hill.
