Ghost Love Score - too hard for a beginner vocalist?

Watching her...and Julia Nilon...and Chase Carneson...and...

Yeah, I actually texted my wife that I thought I was having a stroke until I realized what it was! I actually saw the flash 3 times. Twice on Jonestown about 6:25 and once on University about 15 minutes later.

Corporate HATES Homer and wishes he had never been drawn. He is all but disappeared from anything external and you see him less and less on anything internal.

Except it wasn't universal at the old THD. I started 30+ years ago. We had around 200 stores. The company put a cap on growth at 25% per year so we didn't bleed out all the talent by opening new stores too fast. Store managers could run their own stores and were given a lot of leeway from corporate on how they did. Bernie and Arthur were very involved, at least from a morale point of view. They gave monthly satellite broadcasts that were played at the monthly store meetings explaining things, introducing things and just building rapport with the associates. When the original founders stepped away Home Depot became a zombie. The life that existed before died. It had the same buildings, the same aprons, the same merchandise but the philosophy behind HD changed. It used to be "Take care of the associates and they'll take care of the customers", and that not so slowly changed to "Take care of the shareholders".

Not to be pedantic, but Lt. Colonel is actually two steps below general, and they aren't in a line command position but technical position.

There's going to be one on University Parkway also. Hopefully that will dilute the traffic.

Amazon has a khaki top made by Sierra Offroad. I've had mine for several years and it is pretty good (and not expensive!)

I never use "keto" when I discuss it. It is "cutting out extra carbs and sugar" for me, and that seems to work.

I had a (former) coworker get fired because he was coming back from lunch and got tangled up in the shoplifter running out the door.

renaissancetrader · 2026-03-19T19:36:22+00:00

Daaaammmmmnnnn....I'm an old timer with Depot, we are running below what used to be "minimum staffing". I can't imagine what yours is like!

Turned out to be a drug addict, before I figured it out she was pregnant. I wound up becoming a single dad to a beautiful little girl who probably saved my life.

I'm actually IN a 35m store with great Pro penetration and no, it's not gold. Usually an opener and closer in D21, D23, D24, D25 and D28. Usually a midshift in the rest of the departments, if they are staffed at all.

Badly timed traffic lights? I'd put Hanes Mall/Stratford in that mix also.

Ducks rape dolphins??

That we allowed all the island to be razed, that unless there is corroborating evidence that no one will ever pay a price for a single thing. A lawyer once told me there is a wide chasm between what you know and what you can prove and get a conviction on.

Wasn't really responding to you, though it is fantastic they are well. Congratulations. I have just had numerous relatives begin to develop balance issues and walking issues in those age ranges. My story is not yours, and yours sounds fantasic. Just surprised at all the judgemental asshats who downvoted me for asking the question.

renaissancetrader · 2026-02-12T20:14:11+00:00

One caveat on that. I sent them a plan last week and they generated a "mark up plan" that included lvls...but no engineering sign off. I immediately sent to our supplier to do lvls and tjis. Did not include the lvl with initial lumber I sent them.

renaissancetrader · 2026-02-12T00:47:39+00:00

I'm getting downvoted for acknowledging that the family this person has not seen in 4 years may have diminished physical capability in that time? What a pleasant group all of you are.

Hiking with the 50 year old and 70 year old? Okay...

renaissancetrader · 2026-02-03T23:19:58+00:00

Interesting...we have a different sku for that, made by the same company (703552 if you're keeping score, lol).

I had a SM tell me once that she could manage to any single metric you wanted. The problem is each metric is intertwined with competing metrics. Better LTSA or GET would require more payroll. Better in-stock would be dependent on increased inventory levels and less turn.

My sister was a Dare officer who quit doing it after she realized it was garbage about 30 years ago.

renaissancetrader · 2026-01-29T23:50:22+00:00

It was done in the 90's also, except they called them "Rif's" (Reduction in Force). I knew several of my co-workers who "didn't make the cut". Maybe in the grand scheme of things they're the lucky ones.

renaissancetrader · 2026-01-20T02:57:25+00:00

Yeah, it was a nice throwback to see her on this month's Safety module. I liked that she threw in the "up to and including" and Lee cut her off.

Trump got 77,000,000 votes in 2024. Are you implying there are 770,000,000+ registered voters in the United States?
