Good morning all. I woke at 430 am due to sinus pressure again. I have done everything to prevent it except sleep upright in a chair. A recliner may be in my future .

I'm not a Dr, and all the legal disclaimer stuff. But over the counter nasacort helps some...

I would be a terrible manager....
I would occasionally like to win at something and for my manager to not always take the option where underperformers aren't Molly coddled and given every opportunity to continue be an underperformer...
And where the option she pics doesn't cause me to have to do more work and for them to do less

I think you’d be a great manager. You have a excellent BS detector

Good morning all... we're halfway to the weekend
Doesn't feel like it to me, but facts are facts
Quick catch up before I dive back into work...

Caught up early again tonight!

I'm so tired! I had gym today; my trainer really made me WORK! Then I had some errands to run afterwards.

It's cold and overcast again tonight. No chance to see the full moon tonight. I hope wherever you are, you get a glimpse! ️

Glad you got an early night... sounds like you may have needed some additional down time after that workout at the gym.

First, you need better dirty secrets!

Now the boring bit. Managing people is one of the most difficult jobs there is because people are complex.

Some hard truths dropped this morning.
PSA: The threshold for Dirty Secrets has been increased. Please plan accordingly.

Beautiful!

You are feeling veeeery sleeeepy

Thank you to our Foreign Office for stepping in when there was an unsanctioned meeting of the 3am Club.

I can so relate, @Oldermom935. Thank you for the morning memes.

Speaking of dentist, I have my regular teeth cleaning and hope for no issues.

Maybe mention your sinus issues to the dentist if you haven't already? The sinuses are very close structurally to the mouth and teeth. Perhaps there's something they can suggest??

Thank you all for the wonderful replies to my tooth situation. The oral surgeon was recommending the root canal, and since the "experts" on here agree, I think that is the path I shall travel.

Good luck moving forward on the tooth sitch.

Last night I had dinner with my daughter. Was really nice to get some 1-1 time to really catch up. She is very excited that her 12u volleyball team made it to the national tournament in June. They’re quite good!

Lovely - so glad you got a chance to connect again.
Go Team!!

Same. I've been told I have high standards.
Told in a way that implies that's a bad thing.

There was a guy that died down here from an infection after getting a root canal but I guess that could happen getting an implant.

Every procedure has its horror stories. While they don't get as much good publicity... every procedure has its success stories, too.

I died once from getting a Q-tip stuck in my ear, so nothing is 100% safe.

Fair

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...

I know a lot of the success stories, I have had a few. An implant and a root canal. The root canal was a great success, the technician had the dentist ask me if I was interested. I was but I was also married. I am sure she knew but I will keep it a secret how she knew. Then you can add on 3 major surgeries if you do not count tonsils. I had never heard on about a root canal goiing bad but obviously it can happen.

I wish the drugs helped. I'm glad it works for you!
My reactions aren't what people normally think of with allergies, and unfortunately this is a bit more complex than just popping a pill. We've tried them all, with little to no benefit. (OK, prednisone works, but I'm hesitant to use it long term).

The last major discovery was the office chair I was using had post consumer material (recycled) that was most likely contaminated with mold. It was making me sick. But that's only one of dozens of thinghts...

When this old pup goes I'm pretty sure she'll be our last. I'm sure she isn't helping things. She's part of the family and she stays until she's passes on.

I would suffer for our pup too. We have had 7 over the years. We have a Shih Tzu now not an OES. I wish you the best, allergies suck. My grand daughter turns red if she goes into a house that has a cat.

For those of you in the southern Mid-Atlantic, the rain has been nice. But...the humidity today feels like a swamp.

Good Afternoon everyone

The forecast keeps promising rain here... can't come soon enough. With warm days that showed up early... so, too, the wildfires. I think we're up to 3 major blazes right now. Several days of Red Flag warnings for fire conditions as well as Air Quality Warnings - as much for the smoke as the high pollen counts.

Stay safe, Rj... some of those look to be intense

That would be heavenly!!
Alas, I've had professional massage therapists work on me, then refund my money. I'm so ticklish that massages put more knot in than they remove.

Mrs. Mitt doesn't have a ticklish bone in her body. It's a huge source of disappointment our togetherness as I am a giant flirt, teaser, handsy person. *Sigh

We are gonna have so many pears this year. This tree was old when my parents bought this place. I don't know what they are called. Mom use to say the were baking pears because they are rock hard and round.

I hope no one is eating dinner and scrolling through this thread right about now.

So envious! I'm the other end of the scale. So ticklish that it's not enjoyable at. all. when on the receiving end or trying something therapeutic like a massage.

Been catching up lately. My brother and his wife came over yesterday to help us look for any of my moms insurance papers, will, tax docs, etc. Her mind went so fast. She is in a home to help her get stronger and developed a home plan for her when she gets back. So much to do.

Finally got my truck and tractor from Florida and brought the last of the boxes back as well. That feels so good not being stretched in two directions. Everything that is "us" is here now.

So envious! I'm the other end of the scale. So ticklish that it's not enjoyable at. all. when on the receiving end or trying something therapeutic like a massage.

I think it would be easier to adjust to someone that is ticklish. There is absolutely nothing to experience in someone that is not ticklish at all.

For example, can you tolerate someone lightly blowing on your skin? Using ice to help curb sensation? How about using layers of silk or satin as a barrier? Do you think it has a mental component? Can someone get very serious/sensual to alter your state of mind?

See! There's more to be experienced if your ticklish than not. Don't envy those that have nothing to experience.

Just my two cents.

Like getting older, being a manager is not for the faint of heart.

I do not miss it at all.

I lived in Edison for a few years and took the bus in everyday and then a nice subway ride down to Wall St. Fun times. Good to hear you got some time with your daughter!

It was a nice dinner. I see her every few weeks 1-1. It’s always good to catch up.

I feel that way about my old dog. He is family.

Thanks as I do that as well. When it gets humid, that is when they get clogged and painful.

Laughing with you... with you

It's like the cold just won't go away.

I prefer the cold - blame me.
But what my area really needs? Rain - lots and lots of rain with minimal lightening. A good portion of the northern area of the state is on fire right now.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good night all. Be here in the morning.
