I'm always accepting donations!


I donate through Amazon Smile to World Renew. My grandma doesn't give us gifts on Christmas and instead buys needy families in rough countries farm animals through Compassion International.

Both organizations have to do with helping train people to better themselves than to simply hand out their immediate needs.

But the rabbit hole of charities is a big one..

True, now I just have to sneak up on them, when they are bent over to stock the shelves -

That's too bad -

Did the seller even counter your offer?

Continue the search - there is a even a better one out there -

I have three granddaughters that could be up for adoption, when they start college -

I have been running a foundation for several years and found that giving to small local groups can have a large impact on there operations.
The big guys see it as just an other drop in the bucket.
Unless you are giving MILLIONS.

Sounds like what happens around here. All sales are going for 10%+ above asking and bidding wars are common... selling with no inspections and limited or no subjects. Absolutely nuts.

Good luck man.

So work is beginning to step on my toes a bit too much with micromanagement. We have new owners and are being audited again. Fine. They want us to have documentation of PAR-Q and Dr. notes/releases. Ok that's standard. Now they are asking me why don't have workout cards in my clients folders. Like, look, I've been doing this for 7 years and feel pretty confident in my ways on how I manage my clients. I don't need to be leaving a shit load of "workout cards" in folders just so you can poke your nose in my business. I am quite certain next it will come down to "we saw this exercise and..." or "based off our believe you should...".

Finished up relocating the kitchen sink's water lines inside the house. The pipe heater cord/tape wasn't working well enough. They are now along the wall inside the cabinets instead of in the exterior walls. Should survive the -10 to -15 temps they are forecasting.


That being said, sharkbite fittings are amazing on copper.

Yep, new owners/new management can be a pain. I have found that it is best just to go along with their program modifications (as long as they are legal and they don't destroy the business).
