Ok, so two other friends and two other family members all tested positive just today. None of us have been around each other. That’s more positives in my immediate circle than ever before in this thing.

I won’t be leaving for a couple of months. Need sort out visa, place to live, moving dogs and family.

Didn’t really need this, but what are you gonna do?

The fact that there's only one country in the entire world that needs armed guards at elementary schools says it all. And these bought and paid for assholes in government deflect and create strawmen and invoke prayers to a God who would let 9 year olds get massacred... if they were real Christians,...

Against everything within driving distance from Atlanta. So maybe obx to Daytona to St Pete and Pensacola/Alabama. Florida beaches are all way better in terms of beach and most towns. Probably not Jacksonville. I've enjoyed panama city way more in terms of town and the nicer destinish areas west to...

Mazel Tov Degen! Your sleeping days are done. My son was born at at 31 weeks, and to cut a long story short, he's a healthy, intelligent 25 year old now.

So this has turned into a lot bigger life change than anticipated when I started the thread. It’s not public yet, and we have to figure out how message is conveyed, so please no Twitter comments. I also have to tell other company, but I’m confident they will understand. It’s the one thing they can’t...

So the meeting went well. I pulled no punches and was very clear with my frustrations. He scheduled 30 minutes but we ended up talking for almost two hours. He was really receptive to my complaints/observations, and didn’t even try to convince me to stay in my current role. Made the point that I’ve ...

I'm in the minority but I probably wouldn't want to move to France or most other countries. I mean, if I really wanted to do that I'd probably have just done it. Complicated for me. I’m not the kind of person who would be comfortable just winging it and moving. It would always have to be structured...

Our business unit president is in the states and on site the next two days. He’s requested a confidential 1:1 to discuss why I want to leave and what it would take to convince me to stay (and he specifically calls out the France option). I’ve made up my mind to be 100% transparent with him, includin...

Well done to Jake, and blackpool as a club have come out with guns blazing in support. Really good to see. The support from lots of different directions has also been neat to watch.

What would y’all do? My step son is 24, so it would just be the wife and I. I know the France thing sounds like an amazing opportunity...But...you've made the decision to walk away for a reason. And even though you may be in a different group/division, the same issues that drove the decision to lea...

If they come through on the France option, my choices are travel back and forth from Alabama to Knoxville, relocate to Colmar or Grenoble France.

Thanks gpj, I’ve been thinking about getting a good one. Shirley, they didn’t walk me out. I expected them too. Exact words from plant manager were that I wasn’t going to learn anything in the next two weeks I didn’t already know. They made clear that they didn’t want me to leave, and that ethically...

I know Buffalo trace isn’t fancy, but it’s allocated in Alabama so is actually hard to find. I typically have to head to Tennessee to get any.

My collection is getting fairly healthy now. Off hand, I told the wife that I’m not buying anymore for a while, because I feel guilty even opening any of it. Given I have to hunt for it, and it’s expensive, I have to convince myself it’s ok to have some of it. Came home from work two weeks ago to a ...

A lot has happened for the ‘gonz in recent months, so I apologize for a vanity post, but I haven’t been around here much. i want to share some of it, as it’s big changes for me.

Had to look that up. And it reminds me how bad at crosswords I am.

Apple music finally got me. Free for 6 months. That's plenty of time to decide I don't need it. Well. The algorithm isn't perfect, and I suppose it takes a while to reengineer the way that my amazon had done, but overall I'm pretty pleased with apple music. It isn't what I would call user friendly,...

If any of you jack-legs can get Weller near you, I’d be happy to buy it. It’s my favorite (along with Blantons) and damn near impossible to find anymore. Wife was flying in to Nashville last weekend and I picked her up. Went early and hit five different stores. Nothing.

Pokes played like shit. Ike was tight early and they didn’t move the ball quickly enough for me in the second half. They had a few guys knocking down shots when they moved ball rather than just Maldonado and Ike playing two-man games.

I usually ignore the first 4 games, but intrigued by Rutgers v. Notre Dame and Wyoming v. Indiana. Have enjoyed watching Ron Harper Jr. and think Brey is a very good coach (too bad Terps did not get to him when Gary Williams retired). I think the Pokes and IU will just be a fun matchup (or my eyes ...

Say it again, I've never seen a more Night/Day basketball team than this version of MI.

This is so tragic. No clear cause of death yet. Kind of disgusted with anti-vax ghouls on Twitter happy to use her death to their advantage.
