Life At A Snail’s Pace
Life At A Snail’s Pace
Usually I warn my 81 year old dad about these scams. Don’t think I need to worry about this one, he wouldn’t be tech savvy enough to find the windows button
Yeah but developed a quick explanation for it: Industrial water treatment tech for HVAC. You know how having a swimming pool or hot tub requires some chemistry? I do that for water in boilers and cooling towers used to heat or cool big buildings
If it was Russia the whale would have fallen out a window
Nobody lies about having worked at McDonald’s
Food server/bartender jobs come to mind. Not only do you meet a lot of people but they often are repeat customers. People would rather hire someone they are familiar with than a stranger off the street and it helps if they see you have a good work ethic. If you are like me and don’t have a college degree don’t underestimate qualities you may have that will work for you. Just by showing up with a positive attitude and being trustworthy puts you ahead. Every job I’ve had in adulthood came by word of mouth and they have all been small businesses. The job I wouldn’t recommend is a factory job. They often will pay a couple of bucks more and seem ideal if you don’t want to deal with the public but you won’t meet many people besides your coworkers unless you work the dock. I hope this helps, good luck
Find yourself a job where you meet lots of people. This will make it easier to find a better job
It doesn’t matter your age, put up a bird feeder and you’ll soon hate squirrels. You spend $40 on a bag of seed and they’ll scoop out all the stuff that they don’t want to get to the stuff they do want. Seed on the ground attracts animals you don’t want like rodents or Canadian geese that shit all over. I found it easier to pay the squirrels off like the mafia. Buy a bag of corn or cheap peanuts and sprinkle some around to appease the bastards. It sucks but it’s worth it in the long run.
It vibrates
Haha your grandma is awesome!
I don’t have a X/Twitter account anymore but can still read tweets or whatever they’re called these days
Why not? Norm Macdonald had a career in show business and he had the blandest monotone voice ever. People tell me I sound just like him
I was at a lull in my life and needed a passion when my girlfriend’s brother gifted her scuba diving lessons for her birthday as he was instructor. Scuba always looked cool so I signed myself up and eventually saved up enough to buy my own equipment. It eventually dawns on me that the oceans are quite a ways from Ohio. Now the price of traveling is a factor so camping is a way to keep the costs down. This soon leads to me taking up backpacking. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper than scuba. Diving is incredible but you spend a lot of dough to be underwater for an hour or less. While backpacking you are immersed 24/7 and it’s practically free once you have the gear. In fact I could argue I save money because I’d spend money at home just keeping occupied. Gas money to Pennsylvania is the biggest expense. Fast forward 25 years and carrying a pack is getting harder. By this time I’ve run into a lot of fly anglers along the trail and knew when it came time to hang up my pack I’d give fly fishing a try. Trout seem to live in the prettiest places and the sport attracts the nicest people.
So that’s how I became a fly fisherman. A long rambling point that I hope comes across to others seeking a passion is to just try something that looks fun. There’s no reason you can’t drop it if it’s not for you. Doing things exposes you to other things. The important thing is to not do anything
The band Native Howl just had their gear ripped off while on tour. They also had an AirTag in with the gear but the charge died while they were tracking the thief down
I have a few Fiskars products I really like. Hatchet, garden trowel, craft cutting board. They use a very durable, lightweight plastic
I have a pair of Oboz that have held up for quite a while
YKK zippers have a reputation for holding up though I’ve had one or two recently that didn’t last (you can see YKK on the handle)
Howdy fellow Buckeye!
My neighbor inherited the house he grew up in. He passed away and his grandson got the house. Turns out his grandfather took out a loan against the house and blew all of the money at the casino. His grandson is now paying for a house that was paid off fifty years ago
I remember the first time I was at someone’s house and they asked a visitor who who was about to light up to take it outside. It seemed so.odd. My mom, grandmother and aunts would sit around the dining room table with a thick haze. Nobody thought nothing of it
