Heavy heavy rain for se mass.:.. we take

Do we dry out in time for an 8:20 tee time on Saturday morning?

A nice cold rain here

Lmao.... you can have it. I have a tee time on Saturday morning.... I want to play

The only small concern I would have personally is if the land got tied up in some sort of litigation (you may have mentioned this in another post).

As soon as I find something better I’m splitting. No loyalty when you don’t show me any respect. Anyone on here hiring? I’ll make you coffee or get your dry cleaning or something

Our health costs are going up again... it’s likely come July 1 I’ll have less in my paycheck again for the second straight year. Going backwards!

So we are in contract negotiations currently at work. Company came back today and rejected everything the union offered. They don’t want to give a raise this year, after we voted to give back our raise last year and matching retirement after they asked us to sacrifice it, otherwise they would have had to give it to us. No good deed goes unpunished. They floated the idea of a 1 % cost of living raise...which is insulting. I’m pretty sure cost of living has increased more than 1 % in the last 2 years

Dropped 200 pounds of lime and 200 pounds of Milorganite tonight in anticipation of the rain.

Going to buy some lime and fert and throw it down tonight.... wash it in Friday

Why are we halting shots over a handful of significant side effects?

That’s not what I was inferring, if it came off that way. Basically; are the powers that be going to use the continued rise or spikes here and there because there isn’t enough vaccination to continue wit go lockdowns and mask mandates. People who don’t want the vaccine obviously aren’t too concerned about all that stuff

I’ve grown pretty pessimistic on this in the last like 10-14 days. I’m concerned we aren’t going to get away from cases numbers and positives and mass testing. i mean we have school districts down here that return a few positives and they immediately transition to remote for a week or two. This is after prioritizing teachers and school staff for vaccines. So if you aren’t going to change how you operate after the vaccines, what are we really doing?

Everyone is going to have the chance to get the vaccine here in the coming months. My deal is... for those who don’t get it, should we be locking down again when cases rise or spike again because enough people didn’t get the vaccine? What kind of message does that send? The appetite of people who have received the vaccine to continue on the lockdown hamster wheel is going to be very low

I don’t think they did..... they are in the ground... they’ve been in for a week now. It was like upper 20s from what I have on my station. The tops are really black... the bottoms not as black... but I just watered them and they were dropping leaves like crazy

So I planted my soft touch holly and pencil holly last Saturday.... we had a couple of freezing nights this week and I checked them today and they are all black and losing their leaves. I’m stunned. Could a frost really have done that to them? They are hardy down to like -20. And will they come back or are they toast?

It’s a bit concerning we aren’t seeing the downward movement at a fast clip with vaccinations.

So here’s a question... when do you stop mass testing for this? Because you can still get it after vaccination. You could probably keep running on this hamster wheel indefinitely if you wanted too

Icon is a solid half in Plus for most of SNE for Sunday into Monday

Health care/ Heath insurance costs is another area that is going to burst in the near future I think. Untenable in the long term with the current price structure. My employer pays 75% and I pay 25%... between dental and health for just my wife and I... that’s costing me about $350 a pay period (bi weekly). That cost is rising literally every year without fail by 30 or 40 dollars on my end. A coworker of mine jumped ship to a job that paid about 10k less a year in November, but they paid 100% of the health insurance costs. The crazy thing is, is he made a good financial decision.

Rainy Sunday on the gfs and cmc

It’s everyone’s individual decision, but let’s not pretend vaccine is a lot more scary than having COVID. Having had covid and now the vaccine, I’m a lot more concerned with the long term effects covid could have on my heart and lungs than a vaccine.

Yeah, lol.... a huge part. Like the numbers wouldn’t be achievable for a long time if at all without it

It’s literally no different than the potential long term side effects of covid. I find it kind of bizarre that people are petrified of the potential long term effects of the vaccine, but not of actually having COVID.

I mean, it doesn’t get more millennial than me, I just turned 27. Ive ended up in blue collar work (nothing wrong with that), and acquired licenses and certifications that make me a decent wage. The problem is, is I’ve pretty much maxed out, and this isn’t whT I want to be doing long term. I have a bachelors degree in criminal justice. I’ve applied to hundreds of CJ type jobs since graduating in 2016... and received a handful of interviews. It is absolutely impossible to break into the field. I had to pivot to what I’m doing now. Im aware that my long term prospects in what I’m doing now probably aren’t great, but it’s been like banging my head against the wall even trying to get a foot in the door to what I really want to do.
