#Honesty
The person lied to the most is yourself.
We value honesty in others but tolerate regular lying to our self.
Not liking the new body armor.
Old (left) under shirt covers navel to sternal nock, outside mid clavicular
New “police” type covers sternal nock to xiphoid process,inside mid clavicular,panels that cover the upper half of the kidneys
These are better because we look like cops!?!

My “sunset” at the end of another 16 hr #EMS night shift.

#EMS is a strange job.
First call of the day a 20’s something overdose who ran off as we pulled up.
Second call 70’s something not breathing
Third call naked man swimming in a pool with a knife
Fourth call 30’s something shot
Fifth call 35 yo tummy pain for three days no over the counter meds tried

How I do #investing (if anyone cares)
Every pay check:
$350 goes to debt reduction
$100 to emergency fund (we have $2k but want $5k
$25 to Roth stock fund
$25 to #gold #silver
$25 to #Bitcoin
This is all post tax take outs (pension and TSP)

To celibate #LaborDay I am going to work 16 hours with no set breaks or lunch time. Face discipline for “appearing to be asleep”, and expected to complete each run in under 30 minutes.
Good thing my union is looking out for us! (Things were much worse)

#DnD Druid, 12th lvl, 20 wisdom. +9 to saves.
In the course of the night rolled 2, 5, 7, 3, 4, 6
But for the three perception checks 19, 17, 15, 17
My dice hate me.

I’m only in prime because Damus won’t accept my pub key.
#dnd5e with the kids. Used the @MonteCookGames #Ptolus setting and #HackMaster “body markers” from @Kenzerco
It was nice having the “College” girl home for the weekend to play in person. (Well really to celebrate birthdays)
We found out the zombies glowed in the dark!

Ready for #DnD game tonight with @MonteCookGames #plotis setting.
The oldest is coming home from college this weekend.

#mortgage scams.
We currently have $131k left on the home after 11 years of paying $590 a month ($1,134 with taxes and insurance) with a 2.35% rate on a house the county says is worth $220,000
As you can see, I’m going to jump on this opportunity to double my monthly bill AND add 11 years to the loan.

Oh look at all that price gouging!

#UnionStrong I’m happy with our new contract (yes it has issues but it fixed the biggest one - low pay).
It was signed in June and was retro to last July.
HR finally started applying the new pay this paycheck!
My take home increased by 7%.
Over the 3 years we got 33% raises.

Keep at it!
I can assure you it is good for you.
I sadly can also assure you it won’t be easy.
But it is worth it!
The next phase of the Boeing CEO’s plan is to send them cheesy movies, the worst he can find.
The astronauts will be forced to sit and watch them all, while he monitors their minds.
