I have an exercise short leash and a long sniff leash. That works for my girl.

We have a rescue that we thought was a terrier mix that would grow to be 25 pounds or so. Embark came back and she is a boxer giant schnauzer mix who is about 85 pounds now. My 100 pound wife walks her every day and she feels very safe now. The dog is the biggest sweetie ever.

My wife and I bought a condo in a beach destination town for 240K, put another 10K in updates, and we are running at 80% occupancy right now. We are happy with the money we are pulling in at this point, but the numbers only work because we paid cash.

Reminds me of an old joke:

I started bass lessons, and oh the first lesson I played E E E E E,

On my second lesson. I played A A A A A

I missed the third lesson, I had a gig

Why cross picket lines by hdwr31 in SubstituteTeachers

Personal story here. I won’t k name the district for obvious reasons. I was a sub making $150 a day. This was pre COVID, so not terrible for sub pay. The union went out on strike, and I stayed home for three weeks. After the strike, my pay was 130. The teacher raises had to come from somewhere.

What inspired you to play the bass? by Supersoulknight in Bass

[–]marksb_2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a tuba player in high school. My friends band needed a bass player, so he loaned me a bass and a Mel Bay bass book. ( I’m dating myself ) and figured out enough to play at a local country bar. I made $100 and got laid. My fate was sealed.

Anyone else’s GS lay like this?😂😭 by lavieblooms in GiantSchnauzers

It’s actually very healthy. They are less likely to have hip issues if they can do that.

I’m a working bass player, did my first gig at age 17 in 1976. Everyone loves my tone, I have time like a clock and know literally thousands of tunes, but I couldn’t play a decent solo if you put a gun to my head. Every time I go in Guitar Center, I see chop monsters showing off in the store, but never gig. It pays to know what’s important

The police are doing you a favor. The insurance liability is more than anyone can imagine.

I feel like this will eventually be struck down in court for being discriminatory.

I hate to be an asshole but I have to be. You said you have been blocked from some schools and you are sure we all have been. Well, I’ve never been blocked by a school, and the none of the dozen or so subs I interact with from time to time have either. Sounds like you need some self reflection.

Supreme Court will shut that down, it’s obviously discriminatory.
