I see you bought a dryer that’s in Hawaiian time

No worries, just go with the flow it’ll work out

Fun fact though typically the last little bit of drying in the dryer is just cool down time, so just reach in there and grab those toasty boxers, you’ll be fine

My friends used to do this shit all the time at school

Every time we got caught we had to pick a different place

We played Texas hold’em and black jack primarily, poker was usually for late start days

They look better than smoke stacks

And in all honesty they remind me of like a leisurely creek or small waterfall in that they kinda just keep going on in a pleasant consistent kind of way ya know?

Basically what I’m saying is that they’re pretty IMO

Think of the prevalence of van lifers

It’s been gaining popularity as it gets harder and harder to own anything

Having financial plans in place is very important, I know it’s hard but making a savings account will help a lot. Even if you just set it up so that $20 a week goes to it it will help.

Most Americans can’t afford a $500 emergency so your first goal will be getting to that point in a savings account. Your second goal will be getting to that point plus having funds in your account for you deductibles for your insurances (car, health, renters, etc). Then your out of pocket max for health.

It’s a slow roll building a savings account and it’s hard to leave it alone but it will help a lot.

Of course even then it’s still pretty nerve wracking so one thing that I’ve done is get a line of credit with my credit union and some credit cards with really high limits that I pay off every month and only use for like gas or groceries. That way they stay open and in the event of a financial emergency that surpasses my savings I’m not completely fucked. Which saved my ass 2 years ago when I had to have emergency dental surgery 3 times in one year. ($10k that I’m still paying off)

Basically trying not to over extend yourself financially will help immensely.

But a massive help is having a healthy social safety net.

My finances took a huge hit due to that and basically had me plate spinning for awhile.

Now that I’ve only got a few thousand left to pay it’s a lot easier.

The fun thing about stereotypes is that they are just blanket statements that apply to basically none of them.

Are there some lazy and stupid poor people? Yes, but they exist all along the financial spectrum.

The discipline necessary for having credit cards with high limits makes things really tough (trust me I know)

I was homeless for 8 years and a good portion of that I lived in my car

What I wouldn’t have given to have a safe place to park each night during that time

It’s better than a tent, but not by much

I know I know

It’s such a far fetched idea it sits in the same camp as teleporting but we all have to have dreams, and napping on the train on the way to work sounds so pleasant

Hell apps can gather a lot of info without actually asking for permissions

For example the accelerometer can be used without permissions

If they have an app they can gather far more personal data from you (and your device) that they can then turn around and sell

I could write a novel here honestly but I’ll keep it a bit brief:

Don’t ask your toddler which parent they’ll go with if you 2 get a divorce. If you don’t love your partner you should get a divorce. Joint custody is a thing.

Don’t “stay together for the kids” you will only cause them more mental harm in the long run.

Don’t make your young children have to be the most mature person in the room. They should be allowed to be a kid.

Be at least somewhat involved in your kids lives, if you’re not don’t be surprised when they don’t choose to involve you in their lives as they get older.

5 minutes into my shift the other day I took a hydraulic shower because some dingleberry didn’t report an accident where they broke a hydraulic hose on their forklift

They just parked it, grabbed a different forklift, then finished their shift

Then I came in to do my forklift inspections and got blasted with hydraulic fluid from the severed hose the moment I started my testing

So I had to fill out a shit ton of additional paperwork and scrub all the fluid off of me with the soap we had available (foaming hand soap)

I’m just happy that I had extra clothes in my car because if I didn’t that would have really ruined my day

All in all, a really shitty way to start a Friday

Getting sober

It allowed me to actually sort through all of my mental health problems and confront myself on who I was and who I wanted to be

Not to mention how much my physical health has improved

It was honestly the hardest thing I’ve done as well given that I started drinking when I was 12.

I’ve been sober now for 6 years

Edit: In 6 years it will go from “the longest I’ve been sober since I started drinking” to “The longest stretch of time I’ve been sober in my whole life”

I’ll never forget the time my boss call me to have me come in to cover a shift that night while I was chilling on a mountain looking over to Mt Adams while eating my lunch

I was surprised my phone even rang given the location, he was surprised when I told him I was 9 hours from my apartment

I sent him a picture to prove where I was

He was not amused but he did tell me to take a bunch of pictures since I was out there

All in all it was a good day
