My mom walked me to school until I was in 4th grade. She was a single mom and needed to work, so she decided to let me walk to and from school from then on. I made friends on that walk. 30+ years later, I am still friends with many of them

Oh wow I read “The Shadow of the Wind” and enjoyed it. I didn’t know that there was a series. Thank you for the comment. I now have a few more books to search for in my local used book store.

I’ve been driving my Toyota Tacoma for 22 years now and currently at 245k miles (with some off-roading thrown in there). With regular upkeep, it’s amazing how much abuse these can take and still run fine. I haven’t had any major problems. M

Yes! I learned about the library state park pass program recently and it truly is wonderful. Some state parks don’t accept the pass but the vast majority of them do. It has propelled my wife and I to explore outside of our normal park optio

Not a take home assessment but after I went in for a half day in-person interview at one company, I was totally ghosted by everyone, including the recruiter. They didn’t bother to send a rejection email and didn’t bother to respond to any o

I appreciate many of the comments here. I don’t feel alone. I’ve been working on something for a couple years (off and on) and some days/weeks/months my motivation takes a nose dive to the point where I stop work completely. Even
