What? No self served with your "high-end" clients? Tst..tst...tst....Get with the program.
I sure didn't get the musical talent. One customer's husband does play for a living. She runs a funeral home with a crematorium. Real nice lady. :)

The kid has some ability but has just now seen the value. Xbox and all. :rolleyes:

Nothing stopping you from hiring a kid and doing the same.

The cover for my pellet smoker ripped because of the deadly Southern snow and ice. It snowed and rained last night. I wanted to smoke Christmas ham today so I went out to use my Big Kamado Joe grill. The lid was frozen shut so I decided to use my pellet smoker instead. But the vinyl cover for my pellet grill was covered in snow and ice. When I tried to remove the cover, the cover was stuck to the metal and ripped. :(. I should've used my heat gun to first melt the snow and ice. Now I have to order new grill cover.

I tried it with my nephews and nieces and the return was not worth it.

It is not something that you can try and try until you can get better. Just like you can't just get your family members together with a camera and be the next "Keep Up With The Kardashian". I still do not know how that family members can be relevant/popular for years without any skill.

I felt huge guilt, I don’t live large at all but our rent is paid, there was a holiday meal & asked for practical gifts under the tree.

The husband put a stop to it though, he told me you go out dressed in N95’s & face shields every day to work in a patient facing job. He works in retail. He reminded me that I donate & basically we risk our lives and for that we should be able to eat!

Since I don't go to the office as often, my automatic watch would die on me many times since I did not wear it at least several days per week as I used to.

I had to make four phone calls - two to Verizon and two to Comcast so I could get out of a double play gigabit FiOS internet contract and downgrade to a lowly 300/300 plan for less than half the monthly cost.

My 11yo son is incapable of having a thought without saying it out loud or asking a question about it. He's watching Star Wars ep3 right now.

Palpatine: "Tell the Droid armies to shut down immediately."
Son: "So the druid armies have to shut down?"

Kenobi: "Is Anakin the father?"
Son: "So Obi-Wan knows Anakin is the father?"

"If I were the Emperor I would have kept the droid army because then I would have two armies."

And so on...
