I'm not a regular teacher, but taught during COVID and again for two months this year. Smart junior on one of my classes was irritated that science teacher was all over him saying he shouldn't be an electrician, but instead should go to college. I understand the thought, but this kid has his life mapped out pretty well.

I missed the 500 acres. But it does linger, so I still wonder if it might work.

Exactly!

I am (or was) in the rural land splitting business, and the market for this type of land is sizzling hot, as in there is more demand than I have seen in my life. Find a broker specializing in small acreage and list it.

I've found the knife block always has dirty knives.

Stealing because they get to keep it.

I looked like I was in college until my late 30s. Then it was like I hit a meat grinder.

Color blindness is common. Don't make a big deal out of it. Teach him other things and leave the colors alone for now.

I am the most capitalistic, free-market person to walk the planet, but WTF is it with a $7,000 purse? Just why?

Since nothing can hurt, buy 10 or 20 gallons (or however much is needed) of peppermint oil and spray the field. Mice are said to detest it. They will leave. Repeat every so often.

I bought the bottom of RCL. And I sold the bottom plus 20. I did get the shareholder benefit, though.

In addition to buying CCL and NCL, I bought 100 shares of Royal Caribbean at about $35 a share before taking a Celebrity cruise in 2022. I was no fool, when it got to $55, I sold. Sigh!

There is no such thing as Ozempic face. Everyone who loses weight has a thinner face. And you likely will regain most of the weight if you stop taking the drug completely, so you shouldn't. It's like high blood pressure medicine: Treat it for life.

If it's printed on the menu in big, bold letters, it's not deceptive. Just out of curiosity, do you actually own a table-service restaurant?

Downtown is very walkable, and there are areas under the canopy that are pretty cool because of all the cool air spilling out from the casinos. The canopy holds it in.

Don't be afraid to offer what you think the house is worth. It's been on the market nine months. They need to face reality. Don't let your agent browbeat you into paying too much. They just want to earn a commission, and getting you to pay more certainly makes it more likely you will buy the house, but it doesn't mean you are making the best deal.

Here's the top of the circular from my local grocery store.

There is a reason restaurants don't do this, as it makes one's prices look artificially high in comparison to other restaurants. And in fact, I hope my customers will be pleased enough with their servers to tip extra. As for being original, I will be, but I don't want to limit the earnings of my servers.

I don't plan to "obscure" the fee. It will be printed on the menu, front and center. I've seen my daughter in tears over working her butt off and getting stiffed by two big tables in a single night. It's just not going to happen with anything I'm involved in.

I'm not trying to "hide" it. It will be printed on the menu. I am not going to "spring" this on anyone. If I add it into the price, then the price will be higher, and I don't want to do that. I am not doing anything sneaky.

I bought a travel scale for my next cruise. I like to weigh first thing in the morning, undressed.

I only weigh 20 times a week.

I want to have a supper club at my house (B&B), with service only a couple of nights a week. If I do it, there is going to be a 15% autograt, with a note that for good service a small additional tip is appreciated. It's just not part of my business plan to serve people who don't tip.

We don't have scorpions where I live, but Onslaught Fastcap seems to be very proud of the fact that it kills scorpions. I buy it because it kills other things, but it goes on and on about the scorpions.

They will not take dollars. You will need a debit card to get cash, although most places take and prefer cards. When getting foreign currency, never use an ATM machine that is not physically attached to a bank. Never allow the ATM to convert the transaction into US Dollars; the conversion your debit card provides will be far better. There are "Euronet" ATM machines everywhere. These are the biggest scam known to man.
