Reminds me of being out in the desert and seeing a sandstorm rolling in

That’s nuts!

Add up all the snow I’ve ever personally seen in my 40+ years and it still wouldn’t be as much snow as this.

Late to discussion.

I haven’t been single since 2012. I intend to stick with my relationship until one of us dies.

If something happened (she died, or she committed an instant deal breaker breakup thing), I dunno if I’d try dating again.

I hear dating websites nowadays are all bots trying to sucker you into paying for premium access without delivering any human matches.

I think what I would probably do is continue living my best life, and if I ran into someone with whom there was mutual interest, great.

A big reason why I’m glad that I’m no longer in IT is that I don’t have to be in an on-call rotation any longer.

If the job offers to pay for your cell phone, it’s because they will expect you to answer at 2am.

Only voice I’ve ever heard that was anywhere near as distinct is Kathleen Turner, who is still not nearly as distinct as her.

You mean Jerruh is planning to make a bad decision and hire a guy that was coaching high school less than a decade ago? Color me surprised!

I drink a decent amount of water before bed. It’s hard to oversleep when you have to piss

  • regular vigorous exercise - I do this five or six days per week
  • no caffeine after about 2 pm
  • mostly consistent bedtime
  • heating pad, for nights when my lower back is stiff or sore
  • white noise in the form of a fan (though I’m going to need something more powerful, as my neighbor has started the lovely habit of watching tv at 330am with no headphones)
  • on nights when I’m really having trouble, I have a small stash of chewable 5mg melatonin tablets on my nightstand
