Just wondering, how much did you spend in Buc-ee's? So much stuff that you never knew you simply must have.
A moral question- Should I do work for someone that has ties to the kkk?
Andy4608 comments on Apr 18, 2019:
When I was in a similar situation, I applied a mark up percentage to the salary I requested. It allowed me to give myself some justification. Whether that is an option for you, I don't know. The position did not materialize, and I did feel some relief at not having to compromise on a daily basis.
YEAH, I THINK FRANCE SHOULD HELP FINANCE THE REBUILDING OF NOTRE DAME SO ALL THE PEDOPHILIC CATHOLIC...

Lou Reed-Take A Walk On The Wild Side (NSFW video) [youtu.be]
Andy4608 comments on Jun 3, 2019:
I must say it's not my favourite Lou Reed song, but it's good to hear the full (original) version, rather than the Bowdlerised version that most of the radio stations play, including the independent music stations. Funnily, the good old BBC used to play this version when the record first came out.

I don't understand why people lie about themselves on their profiles.
Andy4608 comments on Jun 15, 2019:
People massage their profiles to optimise the return as they see it. I have heard of non-drinkers listing themselves as social drinkers to avoid the preconception that they are either a killjoy or in recovery. Just trying to put themselves in the best possible light. Maybe hoping that your possible whitewash will cancel their's. My own confession: I put that I am 6'4", when I am really 192 cm.

I envy you your trip. Sounds amazing and restorative. I have vicariously ridden along!! I am pretty sure all NP's prohibit dogs. However, the National Forests, which are often adjacent, allow them and offer great scenery and walking, though with less infrastructure and fewer fellow travellers. The major con that I see is winter, all 5 freezing months of it. From your chosen area, I would pick the mid point and head for Boise.

Hi Everyone! Happy Thursday! So frustrated trying to get covid vacine appointment.
Andy4608 comments on Feb 11, 2021:
I had my first shot today. I had previously registered with Tarrant County here in Fort Worth, however, I had an email from UTSW in Dallas on Tuesday (former patient) inviting me to register. Long story short, made an on-line appointment for this afternoon. In and out in less than 30 minutes, including 15 minutes post shot observation. The staff said that attendance was reduced because of the weather.

Has anyone ever had a first date at an older age??
Andy4608 comments on Mar 3, 2021:
Depends on what you mean by "older age"! I shall try not to be offended. I got divorced at the age of 61 and I have had a few first dates since. As they all originated on-line, some fell into the "meet, greet, retreat, delete" category and some did not.
