  • Cat naps during the day

    nap for 30 minutes - no more - no less … go beyond 30 mins and you’ll be groggy … go under 30 mins and you won’t feel rested

    I worked on several construction jobs with old pros, guys that had been doing this work for decades. They would start work at 6am and work until dark … but during the day at least once, they would just go lie down for 30 mins, sleep, wake and then go back to work again.

    Whenever I get down during the day because of lack of sleep, I just go lie down for 30 mins and more often than not, it does work.







  • This is like … ??? … 40 freaking years ago … (damn I’m old)

    Since then, once us boys got old enough, we started making money for the family and actually building businesses and companies. We got it to the point where we supplied mom and dad with two full sized large freezers we kept running and filled year round.


  • I grew up in the north and we weren’t that wealthy when I was a kid.

    As soon as it was cold out, we had an empty old freezer outside by our back porch. Mom and dad filled it with frozen food because the outside was cold, the inside was cold and no need to run any refrigeration. Dad just put a padlock on it with a giant latch to keep dogs or animals from opening it. I don’t think the old thing worked at all, they just used it as a giant ice box. Inside, mom just used a small refrigerator for a few food items.

    Then in the springtime, mom would regulate the food to use up as much as possible while keep a small supply to move indoors to a medium sized freezer that she turned on for the summer months.

    In the law of the jungle … if one chimp wants to try to horde 100 bananas and not share them, all the other chimps will attack the one greedy chimp and take all the bananas.

    As intelligent humans, we’ve allowed a few chimps in our global community to horde a banana pile the size of mount everest and that’s perfectly normal to us.








  • The cost is not so much in losing the product but in deciding when and how much to invest in increased security. The more shoplifting happens, then the owner has to start investing in more security cameras, security guards and legal costs of dealing with law enforcement and courts. Then no matter what products or items you try to discriminate against, the owners and corporations just raise the prices of everything to cover their costs.
