Sister #1 stopped by after work to see Mom and see how my day went. I used that opp to share some old lady stories that took place at the house today and yesterday. Naturally all of Mom's friends are old ladies.
Man... old ladies can be spicy, direct and basically DGAF about etiquette. It's kind of hilarious.
Two of them stopped by the house to hang with mom for a bit this am. One said to the other "looks like your getting fat, are you depressed?!"
I was being a creep and listening on the security cam from the office while working. I literally had to bring it back up rewind to make sure I heard what I heard. π€£ππ
Nothing against Arizonians or South Floridians. I get the appeal. But jeeeeeze Loueeeeze. How does anyone work under these conditions.
Only time I like those conditions is when I'm on the beach or at the pool.
Generating PoW in the oven vs. the sauna.
Akin to Arizona heat vs. South Florida heat.
They both suck.

At the Toro Lawnmower dealer/service gate.
Interesting milestone coming up. On 6/7 2023 I left my corporate job of 16 years with a fortune 50 company to make my side business my main business.
I took 3 months off and began to grind in September. Working for the most part 6 sometimes 7 days a week.
It mostly sucks. But my cousin asked me today, "if you can go back, would you make the same decision?". And my answer is yes. Wish I had done it when I was 40 instead of 50.

In some cultures, the kids become lawyers and doctors bc their parents raised them with that expectation. This is true for my family (parents are Haitian). My parents tried to place that expectation on me, so when I joined the Navy, feathers were ruffled to say the least.
Speaking to family members that followed the rules ,(now in their 40 & 50's) they feel trapped.
I was 45 when I got my JD. Parents had given up on me well before that.
Why did I do it?! I became an empty nester and had free time. So it wasn't costing much in terms of time/money.
Still haven't found the motivation to prepare and take the Bar.

When one of my friends graduated HS (in 1989), his dad gave him 3 options:
1 - $15k he can use to start a business
2 - $15k to travel the world
Or
3 - $15k to start college
$15k was about six months salary for his dad in 1989.
He opted for #2, which he was able to stretch for about 4 years.
He then returned home with a wife at which point he started his own business (general contracting).
After which he went to college (in his late 30's).
My friend is now 53 y/o and he made a similar offer to his son who graduated last week.
We're waiting to hear the decision.
I suspect the dollar number is a bit more then $15k considering his dad's income bracket, but the actual figure wasn't disclosed.
Which option would take coming out of HS?
I think it's got some running room left, 12-18 months at least. There is real, practical demand. Not financial advice.
Good morning and happy Wednesday #Nostr fam
Good week so far, got some focus time slotted for today to knock out some admin stuffs.
What are your intentions for these scarce next 24 hours?!
They don't even make it to the doorbell. #FedEx at the door. #DogstrBell #Footstr ππ½ππ½ππ½
Had a dream the other night.
It's December, the November elections are over, the presidential candidate is confirmed for a second term. And soon there after he implements executive order 6102 (on #BTC and #Gold).
And there was no public outcry, outrage or objections aired on legacy media. So basically very few Americans knew that it even happened let alone know what it means and what comes after such an order is given.
But, on #Nostr we were all in a state of outrage.

My #dogstr s crack in bay kahn. Mix it up with the veggies (or bird). But she been known to eat around the intended target. I mena you'd swear she fingers they way she's able to do it.
One of my mom's friends passed away over the weekend. I brought her by to pay her respects. They live in a seniors community.
This was in their parking lot.
Make of what you will πππ€£
#Dogstr has been on a hunger strike for about 30 hours now. She prefers red meat and I've put out some bird meat. It's been in the freezer for a month and needs to be eaten.
She'll break the strike later today.
You can be a #PickyEater only when your paying for your own food. She'll learn.
Looks like we're going to be able to get a few hours of work done too.
Today is panning out to be quite alright.
How's your day going?!

I've got about 8 hrs of #podcast to get through in a little over 3 hours. I usually 1.5x it, but let's see if the brain adjusts to 2x #LFG
