In corporate America, I managed a 4/5 on my review. IYKYK
So ... does anyone have any GOOD news to share? (Not Political)
- Thread starter millah_22
- Start date
I'm in Minnesota for an ice fishing trip for the weekend.
Somebody gets his bonus.
Hopefully tomorrow. Made the drive this afternoon. Getting on the lake tomorrow morning. I have not heard good things about the fishing up here though. We'll see.
No refunds are due. My husband's cousin took a Make a Wish trip probably 15 years ago and she is still in remission. No one has asked for anything back.
I have been making videos reading books to my grandsons this week and sending them to my daughter in law. Mmy son and daughter in law have texted me videos of them watching it. They are just turned 1 and just turned 2. Their little faces light up when they see me and they sit still for the book 3 or 4 times straight. If I am reading to them in person they are turning the pages, walking off, grabbing another book. But the video they sit still for. The best part though is just seeing their little faces light up and they just smile the entire time. The older one will try to swipe the phone to turn the page. Gahhh, they are the best
Had a second interview on a potential new gig last night. Keep your fingers crossed, gents. This job would be a home run. Starts at the Controller level and the current CFO wants to retire in a year. A great retirement community, over 100 years in business.
Celebrated 10 years old sobriety this week.
Supposedly. My dad is 79 years old. The rental place promised us we would be able to drive out to the shack.
That is awesome!!! Congratulations!
Today is Friday and the last day of January (the Monday of all the months).
Make a wish is no longer for only terminal patients, its been expanded to children with critical or life threatening illnesses.

I did not know that! Thanks for sharing. That's pretty cool.
My niece and her family went on a Disney cruise from make a wish when she was 6. She's 19 now. They never had to pay. She wasn't supposed to survive birth and she had a near 0% chance to make it to her first birthday. She was never going to be able to walk or talk. It's a miracle that she is still with us. She is trying to become a teacher. She definitely fits well in a good news thread.
Highlights from the week:
- Nice dinner with some friends: Cocktails, pretzel with Welsh rarebit, Scotch egg, bone marrow, top notch burger, bangers and mash
- Managed to go the whole week and only do a few hours of work
- Have rode ~15ish miles on the indoor trainer each day
- Driving on "Expert" level on Forza Horizon 5
- Have listened to maybe a dozen concerts
Pretty slow week!

Its a great program, have been (step)parent of a recipient. We assumed the same thing- only for terminal- but were told towards end of treatment by the social worker person assigned to us we should apply. I have no idea what criteria they have for non-terminal, but she said almost all are approved who apply that have serious conditions.
FWIW, Universal's 'perks' were much better than Disney's
As God as my witness, I thought you were talking about the soccer match and not M-A-W. So 3BM's reply caught me off guard as I thought M-A-W was for any kid that was extremely ill.
I scheduled my pre-retirement exit counseling! Another checklist item accomplished. 4 more months to go!
Many years ago a group of my friends and I all had Dirtbag hats. Lol
Back in high school (when I lived in Iowa) one of my friends went to the College World Series and came back with a LB Dirtbag hat because he liked the logo haha.
Some good news is it's the last day of January. I can booze a bit again if I want. But I think I'm still gonna hold off for awhile. I'm thoroughly enjoying how I feel after a month of no drankin'.

Is it weird that I’m 33 days in (started early) and don’t really feel much different at all? 🤔
Other than being a bit less tired and having a little more morning energy, I feel almost exactly the same.
Yeah bro, you're ****ing weird.
I kid I kid. I'm guessing it's probably different for everyone.
Daughter's softball team chose the dirtbags as their name a few years back. Won everything that year. Must have been the name.

I'm hoping maybe it was a sign I wasn't drinking as much/frequently as I feared prior?
Honestly, I was expecting to drop weight, feel a ton of energy return and generally feel like a new person.
Instead, I feel the same with slightly less fatigue in the morning 🤷♂️
I also thought I'd lose more weight than I did. I'm down about 5lbs for the whole month. But my energy levels are much higher than they were prior. Or maybe that's just the meth that I substituted in for the booze. Who knows!
I did get a notification on my watch a couple days ago that my resting heart rate was down. Throughout the month of December it averaged 71bpm and the last 2 weeks it's averaged 62bpm. Guessing that may be related to the no booze.
I’m kicking around the no booze thing. It’s too easy to drink being single and an empty nester. Booze, weed, shrooms, rinse/repeat. I ain’t starting today tho mvther****ers! Or tomorrow either. Somebody’s gotta pick up the slack for @Derekd3408 standing me up!

I should note I had a skiing fall on Jan. 11 and got a Grade 2 MCL sprain with micro-tearing, so I was unable to exercise for 2-3 weeks (just did my first full workout last night!)
I'm sure that played a role in my lack of weight loss - good thing I wasn't ALSO drinking!
It's Friday. So we all have that going for us.

I will be standing him up at 7pm tomorrow night. It's weighing heavy on my heart. Sorry @jellyfish10. Much love.
Sounds like the only choice you guys have is to meet at fight bar next time
