Have you checked your local wrecking yards?
Not yet. That’s the plan this weekend.
Have you checked your local wrecking yards?
Yeah that's the route I took. Today he woke up & without any prompting he grabbed a bottle of windex & started wiping windows lol. I think he got the message.
After one day of no iPads, video games, or TV he said last night "this couldn't get any worse!". I told him before bed that I will take away his mattress & make him sleep on the floor, lock the basement door so he can't get to any of his toys, & make him ask permission to sit on a piece of furniture if he doesn't get his act together.
I kind of feel like I am on vacation today. Its super noisy on my roof, there is Mexican Banda music blaring from a job-site radio. 5 Latino men are eating tacos in the shade in my front yard. Its almost like I am in Puerto Vallarta. These gents are doing a fine job roofing my house. I appreciate their work ethic.
Haha, amazing how obsessed they are with their damn iPads. We force our kids to go on mile long walks with us daily. They complain and complain, but I told them that one day they'll thank us that we didn't just let them sit around being lazy ass kids like most kids these days.
Shit, went we took a trip to Seattle this last winter, we made them walk a total of 30 miles over 3-days!
I worked as a coordinator or sales or whatever you call it for a roofing company one summer in college. That's where I discovered my paralyzing fear of heights taking measurements for estimates . Come job day I was floored by the work these dudes would put in. I'd see 'em take a 3 section extension ladder, put it on the roof at nearly a 45 degree angle, and walk up with a bag of shingles on each shoulder while timing their steps to match the deflection in the ladder as they walked. Hell of a way to earn a living.
it's really dramatic what happens when you don't give the prisoners their yard time.
100%If you're driving down the road and there's a pigeon in the middle of the street, do you slow down? I don't, I think our social contract with street birds places the onus upon them to fly away before my car gets there.
I used to like them when I was younger with enough sugar. But I guess that was true for just about any cereal aside from kix. Never could do Kix.What's the deal with Grape Nuts? No grapes, no nuts! It's insane.
For a moment there, I thought you were talking about my boss. It’s a running joke with us underlings.Ya know what really grinds my gears? People who don't read emails in their entirety. I just sent an email to an architect regarding info for a project their working on for our facility. I told him about a fence alarm project that's going to impact the work he's doing and included the drawings and specifications in that email. He responds back asking if I can send him the drawings and specifications for that project.
FFS, did you even read my email?
The subject of tipping always reminds me of this scene from "Reservoir Dogs". Great movie!That can be a tough one. I usually try and leave as much tip as I normally would based on the cost of my food or 50% of the check. There are people that don't tip though and then that makes it look like you're the asshole if they get a small tip on a big bill if the other party doesn't pay to play.
I'm a FB refusenik, but I've found quite a bit of stuff on offerup and letgo.I've heard similar comments, that CL is dead, about motorcycles and parts for sale. I've read that Facebook marketplace is picking up the slack.
