This is what 3 hours of shoveling in a snowstorm looks like. This is also what my dad looked like. Itโ€™s scary.

How to get a free haircut, a 5-step process
1 - Ask for normal haircut, #2 on the sides, short on top.
2 - Watch in horror as hairdresser does a #2 over one side of your head.
3 - Ask "ummm, I said #2 on sides, short on top, not #2 all over".
4 - See look of horror on hairdresser's face.
5 - Profit

Also, flex hoses are good for 5-10 years before they should be replaced.

Delta and Moen are more expensive (because of the name) but they are so ubiquitous that plumbers carry those parts in their van/warehouse.

I also asked what brands to stick with so that plumbers would have all the other parts:Delta or Moen.
Plumbers will have parts (except for flex hoses) for them. If you pick the non-name brands from Canadian Tire/Home Depot or wherever, those are parts the plumber will have to go to the store for.

There are dozens of parts in a kitchen sink. Plumbers have literally all of them in stock, except for the flex hose. I've called 3 plumbers, and they all said the same thing. The lag time for that part is approximately 3-4 weeks.
Guess I am going to buy a new kitchen faucet tonight.

I see it very much as a "DON'T TOUCH THE GLOWING RED PART OF THE STOVE!!" You would think a 51 year old PhD chemist wouldn't need to experience this.

As my mother said: Just because you're smart, doesn't mean you are wise.

I had never dry-heaved hard enough to give myself a nosebleed until today.

Unless you want a good ab workout. Then 10/10.

Hey, writers.

How do you get those first words down. I have something in my head, I would like to get it out (even if it never gets published) but the thought of putting those first words down terrifies me for some reason I don't understand.

I'm seeing a lot of GoFundMes today, for people displaced by disaster/war, and for other purposes, so if you/a friend have a GoFundMe (or other legit personal fundraising appeal) running, here's a thread for you to use to raise awareness. Go ahead and post the details and links in the comments.

Hey, #writers. I have decided I would like to try to get the story in my head out of my head. Before I get too many bad habits, are there some tools that I should look into using that might make my life easier?
