Lately there's been a lot of tree trimming and tree cutting done in my area by the county and power company

Its been a warmer day today, snow coming late tonight, those guys have been cutting and grinding tree parts for days now...I've been out back marking off a spot for them to dump some of their wood chips, I talked to the tree service this morning and they are giving me 3 or 4 loads of their ground up tree parts...I can use it around the house and in my garden...

They didn't drop one load all day, ugh, I don't get it, I guess I'm not getting any...lol

Is there a really good looking gal down hill from you but on the same street? One who wears
nightgowns during the day? And perhaps asked them for it as well? With a "pretty please"?
And a husky voice ...... should I go on?

Its been over a month since I drank a soda. The logic was to lose weight and take pressure off my lower back. I've only lost four pounds. I can't sit in a deep chair for too long without pain, butt a computer chair doesn't bother my back.

Maybe the computer chair caused the back problems?...Simce it doesn't bother your back I'm assuming your back grew accustomed to that sitting position since it doesn't bother you to sit in that chair but is affected by other sitting or standing positions...

Over the past few weeks I seen a small transfer of toys with my boys.
Ian's hot wheels set long abandoned by him now is being used by Chris.
I spent some money to upgrade it as well.
As for Ian a month of working out with his kid fit excerise bench has him getting more musclar and he is now following a marine corps workout.
In 5 years he will be more than ready. Unless he kills himself with it. Lol.

He and all of us may need to be more ready within 5 years. No, actually 4. They announced what I believe will be the beginning of a collapse for the US. Increasing the minimum wage from 7.25 to 15.00 over the next four years will serve two purposes. It will increase the AI investment, so that Bezos can pay his workers with electricity instead of $15 per hour, and it will increase the number of jobs that are now overseas.
We have nearly 60,000 people working here today in customer service jobs for American companies ranging from Amazon to AT & T, and Hewlett Packard and Microsoft, etc. Because they work for $5 per hour. Imagine how many jobs will flood here when the minimum in the US goes up?
We are a small country population wise, and there are even more people speaking English and working in jobs for American companies in India, Mexico, Columbia, Argentina, Chile, etc. etc. The numbers are staggering.
If you have a game plan for when the SHTF, now would be a good time to start implementing it.
I was offered a job as a supervisor or trainer at a company that is rapidly hiring five hundred people here locally, to take pictures. Not artistic pictures but just everyday scenes, along with a brief description of what they represent. No skill needed, top pay, and as many pictures as you can take.

Why is that? Well, they want us to train the AI for computer workers, so they can use that info to replace the workers that they now have in America. Jeff Bezos is behind most of it, but Gates is close behind and others as well. And no, I am not that much of a traitor to the human race - I didn't accept any of it.

I recommended to my kids to buy some land with water on it. We will be planting crops soon, and getting ready for when the US collapses and our economy, which is tied to it, as well. Sorry to sound so negative, but my training and education tell me that this is on its way very soon.
That's the end game that all of these recent moves are leading towards.

First they get the sheeple to believe that by giving them money they are helping the economy. Uh huh. Consider your own business - would giving your employees a bonus of a third of your net worth do anything other than short term? It would make for a great party, but then when the party was over you still have to look for money to expand - because you just spent that.

Higher minimum sounds great, until you are asked to suggest where the money is coming from.
We know that answer - they just print more useless paper and take their under the table payoffs from China and elsewhere. It won't be from the rich - their assets are already out of your reach. The only thing left that you can grab is their stocks, and they won't care by then.
Not gloom and doom, but just a warning trumpet that the time to prepare for the next 5 would be now.
Good luck.

I think the computer chair holds my weight better. Last year I threw my back out just bending on the sink to brush my teeth. The muscles in the lower back seized. I've been stretching which helps.

Your daughters are college graduates? Or is UW law an undergraduate program?

No 3rd year high School.
Kate wants to become a lawyer.
UW law school is her designation.

Debbie has set her classes up for computer science. Coding and website architecture.
But what started as a hobby has grown to a possible job for her in photography.

Web design, and even programming, are among the few professions one can master, and make a career of, through self-teaching.

At least it was this way some years ago.

Maybe 16 degrees, wind howling. Cuts right though the heavy Carhart.

at least the lawn doesn't need to be mowed

I've broken more than a few computer chairs. Somehow whatever I am doing is not good for them.
I had neck pain and tried this video:

The thing is, it helped my back pain as well ! It takes about 3 minutes a day, and I can
recommend it for you. Hope you feel better.
