At first I thought in a SCIF, faraday cage, etc. but a day is 24 hours. Almost no one’s in those environments 24/7. So all I could come up with was outliers like climbing Everest, on station in the military/protector, space…
Good insight0 -

What is on my mind currently is boldness. What does boldness look like is just speaking your thoughts being bold? I feel like boldness is when you have something that you fear or could end badly for you and you still step out. I am not sure saying your opinion makes you bold? Just what's on mind today!0

I'd say bold is stating your opinion when it's not the one that those you're stating it to agree with. Being your own person and having the confidence to do things you fear or dare to be different3 -
How did I miss this? RIP Bob Barker 😢0

I’m actually sleeping a little bit later now. That will change when I finally get it through my head that the only good time for me to work out during the school year is in the morning before work (& before the bus).😭😂0 -
When we were at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, my youngest and I had an argument about modern art so now I’m sporadically sending him photos of the art we argued in front of and saying things like, “thinking of you.”

A friend of mine shot a raccoon because it was messing with her chickens and she felt a little bad because she shot it and she felt a little bad that it wasn’t a clean kill, but anyway, it crawled off to die somewhere and today she found it via sense of smell dead and stiff in her soffit and she opened up the vent that covers the bottom of the eave and got out the corpse. Now she’s lighting pumpkin candles all over the place trying to get the smell out of her nose because for some reason she doesn’t want to use Vicks. AnyWho, just a story I wanted to share.2

Ugh dead raccoon smell is the worst.
I know this from experience.
They like my garbage bins0 -

I know what dead human smells like but thankfully I have never experienced dead raccoon. 😬0 -
my oldest just texted to tell me he joined the rugby team. What you need to understand is that he is physically fit. He can run and he can lift, but he is not athletically coordinated. He played on some teams through most of high school because I insisted he be involved in something. But he never played contact sports, he never really excelled in team sports, and he also disliked every minute of it. He’s going to get smooshed3

He might enjoy it. Rugby is a staple in England and we were required to play it at school. It's kinda like American football but without the crash helmets or bullet proof vests. It can get a bit physical but a lot of it is just about running and jumping to make high catches, if he is above average height then he'll excel at it.
Unlike American football there's no headbutting and your coach doesn't inject you with heroin so you can keep playing with a broken leg. I guess the roughest part is that if you want to tackle an opponent you literally throw your arms around their legs, but it's not so bad. Oh and if the other guy is trying to get the ball off you, you're kind of allowed to slap him in the face, well, it's more of a push to the face. I'm not helping here am I?
Look, they let us play it from the ages of 11-16 and nobody got hurt. He'll be fine.2 -
I’m wondering if someone lying by omission pisses me off as much as plain ole lying.
I’m angry so I’m going to say, yes.1 -

When I saw Pink Floyd in Kansas City back in 95 I was 7th row center.
The security for the front floor seats was a Rugby team (adults) from Australia.
Those guys were huge, burly, tough
dudes.
They had no problem handling the drunks.

Thank you
He’s average height and I don’t think he knows what he’s getting himself into. He’ll find out though. I’m happy for him to have the experience even though I worry about concussions & CTE.
I think the physicality appeals to him. I think he longs to be rougher and much more… ?Masculine? than he’s been given the opportunity for in the past.
Unfortunately, there is a perception in the US (or my region of the US) that rugby, among other sports, is for the affluent. He’s going to a state school but it’s a niche state school and many of the boys (88% male student body) are from fairly affluent suburbs and probably grew up boating and playing lacrosse, golf, tennis, & hockey as well as rugby. These are sports that require significant resources and are imbued with a particular culture. It is somewhat outside of my experience & his.
There’s also a drinking culture associated with rugby here and he is still under age in our state so I worry a little about that.
He’ll do fine and I’m glad he’s broadening his horizons.0 -

My boss left yesterday afternoon & said he’d be back but never came back. He’s usually in early in the morning but he’s not here even though we have appointments scheduled.0

It pains me a little bit when I see someone who has spent years avoiding wearing sunscreen but has clearly spent a lot of time out in the sun regardless1
