which is bullshit because all these people who "can't find work" play this game where they go apply for a job, get an interview then get the job offered to them. IF they show up it's usually for a day then they leave and start the game all over again.
my wife is pretty high up the chain at the FDA. these are jobs STARTING at 70k/year and people are pulling this shit with her. |
I quit looking last September. Life is good I stay up late sleep in and maybe have a beer with my lunch 😀 why mess up a good thing? |

I think you're confusing retirement home with a swiss euthanasia clinic!

Wrong choice of words  , I'm planning for my decline, which began years ago. My children say "Dad, as soon as your eligible, we're putting you in a nursing home!" Which is followed by laughter by all.

Straw, yup - hard to come by and twice the price of last year. Barely got a bale to cover my strawberries for winter.

We pay $45 a bale for the super large 8' x 4'x 4' bales of straw here.
The family ranch picks straw up directly from the fields, after the farmer harvests his grains. Be it wheat, barely or oats.
Look for a local wheat farmer, next fall and get a bale from him. That cuts out the middle man. And you save a few $$.

Raspberry Pi’s - and no, not the eatin’ kind. All the authorized retailers are completely out of stock, and the only ones available new are being sold at insane prices by scalpers on the online rainforest. I’ve gone to buying used ones on flea-bay; if you are patient and know what you are looking for, you can often find mislabeled units selling for “cheap” - often with a case and power supply included! For example, I managed to nab a Pi4 4gb, case, and power supply for $93 the other day - still not cheap by any means, but a lot better than 99% of the other listings.

I never realised they had any second hand value. They've made so many of them.

Our wheat straw was sold to commercial mushroom farms - so win win for us.
