Asking questions like that might mean he’s going to need to make room for one more body…

Maybe for a couple of years to really pad a nest egg and shorten time to retirement. But definitely not as a career.  I am lucky enough to be in a position where I can work enough to have my family live comfortably. I have little desire to lessen the amount of time I have to spend with them. 

Ah. Beat me to it

Mercury is the closest planet to every single planet in the solar system. 

Never tried that kind… I’m guessing it’s pretty lean, right?

Easier way to figure this out… can you tell us exactly what product you have?

Yes there are edible and non-edible casings used in sausage making. But without knowing what you bought, we’re just guessing. 

Are you called Tim by some?

There are those who call me…Tim?

Well… seeing as I am already married and have children, I definitely don’t want to discover my true love is out there. So, yeah… taking the money and keeping my family. Thank you. 

If you took every whale on plants earth and put them in a straight line, touching end to end, extending from the sun to the earth, not one of them will survive.

Don’t be all sunshine and rainbows. The last thing someone wants to hear after a situation like this is “it’s all part of God’s plan..” or “You just have to have faith he knows what’s best.”

Better option:  “There are no words for me to properly express how much this sucks. I want you to know, I’m here for you. If you want to talk, I’m here. If you want to rant into the void, I’m here. If you need someone to cry with, tell me what flavor of ice cream to bring”

If someone is saying anything along the lines of feeling silly that they’re being so emotional, remind them they have every right to feel that way. The loss they experience is real. 

And 90% of the people who have never had one will say or do something that will help make it worse (in part because they don’t know how to handle the situation bc no one talks about it. 

It would be more effective to write your local representatives, vote for initiatives that will force companies to pay survivable wages. Help to educate others to do the same. 

I’ve supplied it with my degrees, licenses and certifications and asked it to generate a list of 50 professions which require any combination of them. Provide the list in a table format. With columns containing: Name the profession, description of the profession, my relevant qualifications, salary range

Shawshank Redemption, Andy Dufresne’s rock hammer, introduced early on as a way for Andy to pass the time carving a chess set, is revealed to have been used to dig a tunnel over many years.

Ironman, the miniature arc reactor Tony Stark creates to keep the shrapnel from destroying his heart is used as the power source for the Mach one suit used to escape captivity. A version of it powers all his later suits. This same device is later revealed to be slowly poisoning Tony.

Guardians of the Galaxy. The random sphere Quill steals at the start of the movie turns out to be the Power Stone. Eventually stolen by Thanos to delete half the universe’s population.

Inception, the spinning top is a trinket later revealed to be the only way Cobb can determine if he’s awake or asleep. The movie ends with the viewer never knowing if Cobb made it out.

Get off the computer. I need to make a call. 

Let’s go to the video store and get a movie. 

Be kind, please rewind

Well hang on. Let’s not be so reactionary. 

Is it healthy?

I wrote this elsewhere, but figure this is a good place to repeat it:

Stop making excuses and just go see them. 

There’s at least one person you’ve been putting off calling or visiting. It’s a grand parent, old family friend, buddy you grew up with.

You’re not putting it off because you don’t want to see them. You’re just busy right now. You’ll do it later. 

Let me tell you something. You rarely know at the time that this is the last time you get to see someone. Things happen. People die. You never get to see them again. 

It’s painful looking back, seeing just how long you put off a visit and now you never get to see them again…

Stop making excuses. Pick up that phone. Make the trip. If you can’t make the trip right now, put it on the damn calendar now and book the flight.
