20 till I had kids. Now it’s 17/18.

Hockey requires manufactured ice.

Most of the world can’t make a suitable surface for most of the year.

Saskatchewan can make enough to field a whole league of players.

No. I get introduced to people who are “like me” and I don’t like them off the hop.

I recently hung out with my own father, and when he would say words that were in my head, they sounded awful.

People like me. I have friends. I like my friends. But I do question their judgement being friends with me.

You can never know.

I’m a proponent of having a long relationship before major decisions. I’m not saying people who have kids in their 20’s are doomed, but I believe that having a longstanding strong relationship prior to having kids is key. The fear is still there, but the knowledge of how your partner reacts to strife and hardship, goes a long way compared to NOT knowing.

As to changes, of course you’ll change. Parenting a newborn is different than parenting a toddler is different than parenting a tween, etc, etc, etc. Embrace the change. Embrace the challenge. Don’t have kids expecting it to be easy.

A good while back, Chrome was superior. Faster yes, but also more polished and intuitive as browsers go.

Today, Firefox is still good, and Google is evil.

In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the… Anyone? Anyone?.. the Great Depression, passed the… Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?.. raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.

I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.

The bus to the office was always empty.

The bus home was always packed.

Now I work from home

You just won the thread.

I’m sad they’re not videos, but what a treasure trove.

I signed up for the first one I saw, and subscribed across instances without ever considering that people might care where you came from.

People are going to judge. I try to not to be like people.

Grilled cheese sandwich. It’s as lazy or as fancy as you’re feeling.

Super lazy? Grease bread with cheese slice. Fry flip eat.

Feeling less lazy as you start? Cut a hole in one of the pieces of bread and fry an egg in it while you toast the other side, and upgrade the cheese. Just be careful. When you start eyeing meats and mustards to pair, you’re in danger of making yourself a pretty epic sandwich.

A few hours? Something about your post tells me that you didn’t play past 22 minutes.
