I mean, we cured men’s boners before cancer - so I think that’s a fair ask.

This was my experience like 15 years ago on a Saturday evening… the people pouring were also very much over it by the 4th session.
The civilized people (like us, of course), tended to go the Friday afternoon. The other sessions feel like a fashion show booze fest.

No you cried your face off at a Sarah McLachlan concert.
My teen years were a tough time in my household - her music definitely helped carry me through.

I'd say an overcorrection for humans, but most important for dogs not to eat those pellets.

The landscaping service we use at my townhouse spread tiny pellets meant to go into the ground to prevent chinch bugs, and kills the hibernating grubs the crows like to destroy the lawn for in the spring. That said, we might be getting scammed, but our lawns do look decent.

Went solo to my neighbourhood bar for the first time in a while - and I got into an argument with a conspiracy theorist. I think I’m going to drink at home for a while.

One part is work invoiced before financial year end, and they're waiting for my deliverable. (Which, fair.)
2nd part is clients DRAGGING the project and thus not wanting to release final payment. (This should've been done before the summer.)
3rd part is balance on deposits for ongoing work.

Update, 22 days later... I have not made any headway yet. The honest truth is that I have a 5 figure number in unpaid invoices, and I am on the verge of having to live on credit.

I'm turning the big 4-0 in 5 months, and I've decided to set a HUGE goal of paying off my student loan balance (7642$ !!!) by the big day. I will then be debt-free (aside from Mortgage).
I am in a single income household and earn money as a freelancer. Let's go! ✨

Went to a networking/social event tonight - and the amount of old white men who literally stepped in front of me to speak with the person I was already engaged in a conversation with was absolutely next level.
This entitlement is why we can’t have nice things.

I didn't know what to watch on tv last night, and decided to start watching Seinfeld. I have seen some episodes here and there, but never watched the whole thing.
I powered through season 1, and, well... I decided that I am okay with Seinfeld lacking in my general culture knowledge.

My office is on Botsford, and I need to eat a patty melt at NDP at least once a month, for survival.

Okay! But I don't want to hear complaints about how Moncton/Dieppe is terrible, and has bad food when you ate a gas station lunch, Ray!

It shouldn't, but it hurts my feelings *a little* when a media (in this case, a radio station), unsubscribes from my email list.
That said, I've been working hard to be more intentional in my targeting when sending press releases. Most radio stations don't do any journalistic work, I get it.

Well, my initial assessment of "being beyond help" is playing out.
