Been a long time since I’ve watched any of those videos and now it’s going to be stuck in my head all day.

This is a beautiful diagram. You should hang it on the fridge. The one with the beer

Don’t forget that sliced pie is a taco to add more confusion!!!

I genuinely think that allowing more people to work from home would greatly help this problem. I knew someone a few years ago that was hired on who lived in rural Iowa in a farm with her husband. She normally wouldn’t be able to get a job in marketing as she would have to drive hours each day to get to work. But. WFH allowed her that ability to stay on the farm and also work an office job. Lots of people moved to more remote places when WFH was more widely accepted at companies. Not to mention there’s a housing crisis and lots of cheap properties in rural towns. I know it seems like there’s nothing to be had in a small rural town, but you have to remember that those things were once provided by the people who lived there who don’t anymore. The more people who move to a rural town, the more demand and money there is and the more small businesses will flourish. I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but I’m also sure that WFH would help. Some people really would prefer to live in a small town if they could.

This is just the plot of Hook.

I’ve definitely had some strange rogue plants before and sometimes I’ll leave them in if it won’t hurt anything. But I’d rip that one out if I were you, you don’t want the roots weaving their way into foundation cracks. Rip it out and seal the crack up!

First of all … ew. I don’t know who this is for honestly. Maybe it’s one of those things that was used during war times that’s now sold in stores because why not? Second, we have lots of Krogers in the US and they are currently trying to merge with Albertsons which would essentially create a monopoly on grocery stores. Let’s all hope that doesn’t go through.

Eleven tenty one?

I would already like to buy a 4k TV that isn’t smart and have yet to find it. Please don’t add AI into the mix as well :(

There is also a follow-up documentary made 20 years later.

Oh hey, I’ve never seen Mokena on the Internet before. Weird.

Anyone interested in American history should watch Ken Burns Baseball. It’s an excellent documentary series about baseball that’s packed full of fun facts like this. One of my favorite facts I learned was that people sang the Star Spangled Banner at baseball games before it was established as our national anthem. The documentary goes through the history of baseball and how everything that has happened to the sport beautifully depicts everything that has happened in the country’s history through the lens of baseball. For all the good and bad, it’s a great documentary series. 10/10 highly recommend!

Rolie-polies!!!

My company is making people come back to the office. Then they started laying loads of people off. Now one of our key initiatives for the year is to improve employee retention. Hmmmmmmmmm…

At my previous job, I had a coworker who was hired on after the office decided work from home would be permanent. Everyone in the office was originally from northern Illinois since that’s where the office was, but she lived in rural Iowa in a farm with her husband. She mentioned how she really wasn’t able to get a job like this previously as she would have to commute long distance to the city. And of course she and her husband can’t just pack up the farm and move it closer to her work. So you’re absolutely right! Work from home could very well be the thing that saves small communities that have been largely going off.

I’ll just leave this here: Is Zyn gonna kill me and the boys?

I went on a Grand Canyon rafting trip for 6 days this time last year. And yes it regularly gets up to those temps daily. It was an amazing trip, but you had to be on top of hydration as your life literally depended on it. I had a 32oz bottle and my husband had a half gallon bottle and we refilled them constantly throughout the day. Honestly most of the day was quite pleasant assuming you wore appropriate clothing and made sure to get wet in the river regularly. But in the evening, it was so hot from the rocks radiating heat that any breeze just felt like an oven. That was the worst part of the day by far, but that’s also when we would make camp and have fun swimming while waiting for the sun to go down. 12/10 experience if you can keep up with drinking water.

Look at this guy. He doesn’t know about the 3 seashells!!!

Oh man I laughed so hard at this! Why do I know exactly what they’re talking about???

It was honestly some no name brand and I wasn’t able to find it on their site. But I did find this fan that’s almost exactly the same: Lowes High Velocity Fan
