Just a thought, may I suggest a jar where the 5 bucks could accumulate?

After a year, or 1,825, take a trip!

Come to think of it, a trip or a few hookers?

I’ve been trying to teach the kid who leases space at my farm about saving money since he was having trouble making the rent.

I always see him w a soda or pizza so I told him this basic math.

I guess I shoulda told him about the hookers too!!

The only accident I had in the snow was a slight tap. A girl in front of me made a turn, slid and hit the curb and came to a dead stop. I just tapped her bumber thanks to anti skid brakes. I could stop quicker with my foot on the brake as opposed to pumping them.

I’ve had one scary experience but was ice rather than snow. Didn’t really see it and got lucky.

Nite OM.

Damn close game. I'll be up awhile, I reckon.

I like both teams. The Bengals have been a big disappointment so far this year, but I think they started to come around.

It’s much more than the answer. It’s also how you arrived at it.

Which is why I don't like these online systems. Write a function that meets a specific criteria. Fine, but doesn't like pi()/5, or two spaces in the answer somewhere. Or does it not like the way you factored a fraction.

An on paper answer could show the work, answer, and allow the instructor to ignore extra spaces, or if you divide pi by 5, or leave as a fraction.

Leaves a lot to be desired. Almost as fussy as doing math in C...

Sweet Dreams

I'm heading out as well... hoping to bank a decent amount of hours tonight (i.e. put the book away already )

Harbaugh is less annoying now . . . for the moment.

Good morning to early risers and day to our friends in Europe. Grandpa’s taxi is back this morning and so is Grandpa. Today is a gift and I plan to enjoy it.

I spent yesterday recovering physically from the long day as election inspector. I also found I was needed by my son and sister to comfort and console them about their feelings concerning the election. My friends needed me as comforter as well.

I went to dinner with others so I could recharge. After a good night sleep I am back to engaging each day as a gift. I wish you all the same!

This is very good advice, B2. No matter what side we're on politically, we are gifted our days, friends, and family. ️

Night hun. Pleasant dreams... ❤

I didn't sleep as long as I wanted. I had to get up and get showered before the plumber guy turned off all the water. Waited ALL day and he never showed.

He has a complicated home situation, in the middle of a messy divorce and custody battle. I'm empathetic about his situation, however, every day he doesn't show pushes my project back just that much more. It is a first world problem and I'm trying ti be graceful and kind...

The bonus was that my girl and I napped on the couch for some really excellent sleep!

I would always go practice driving during the first snow. The reations required are a bit different. One thing I would do was slam on the brakes at aoubt 45 or so. There was the time the truck swerved for some reason and I almost rolled it. I can still feel that adrenalin rush.

I have a 4X4 truck and an AWD SUV. It's the idiots who think they can go as fast in the snow as they can on dry pavement just because they have a monster truck.

Thankfully, I can usually get what provisions I need and hunker down. But even when I was working, I'd call in when I had a non-patient care job.

Good morning everyone, wherever you may be

It has become clear to me, during my still brief tenure in this group, that coffee is very important to many ‘groupies.’ Don’t ask me how I’ve managed to work this out, let’s just say that I’ve drilled down through the posted words to decipher the hidden subtext beneath!

Allow me, therefore, to give you a little insight into buying coffee in France.

The French for ‘a coffee’ is ‘un café’ but, if you ask for this you will get a small black coffee, almost espresso size, served in a glorified egg cup. Bear in mind that there is no takeaway coffee culture in France, other than in Paris or one of the major cities, so you sit in a bar to drink it or stand at the counter to do as it’s cheaper if you drink it this way.

If you want milk with your coffee you immediately identify yourself as a foreigner. You can have milk but you have to ask for it when you order and what you get is milk milk! Stuff that comes from a cow. Don’t even think of asking for oat milk, soya milk, almond milk or anything that is not milk from a cow because you will probably get deported!

If you don’t want sugar…tough. You will almost always be given a packet of two sugar lumps. Many French people dunk the sugar lump on the hot coffee for a few seconds then eat it like a sweet!!

You can get a (slightly) larger coffee, ‘un café allongé,’ which is the original espresso in a larger cup but with added hot water. The previous comments about milk still apply here.

You can now get ‘un café crème’ (espresso with hot milk) or a cappuccino (espresso with foamed milk) but these are still small drinks by UK or US standards. If you want a 20oz coffee, emigrate.

Have a nice day
