What!? I'm a man, I don't ask for help or directions. I'd get demerits on my oh so important man card. /s

Also, I don't know what one would do about it. Kind of like cutting my wrist open the other day accidentally or breaking a finger. It's just wrap it up and get on with things.

Truth. I can't count how many times I've had friends dip in and out of my life and suddenly pop back up and make my absolute year by just being there for me. Unless they are living with me, I generally "forget" they exist until they engage with me again. No offense, it's just how my brain is wired!

Everyday - too many to list, I hold doors for people younger and older, male and female. I compliment someone on the colors in their hair or their tattoos. Thank the cashier who helped sort a fscked-up order, I smile at people as they walk by - some smile back, some are a little worried. Doesn't matter. It's my little bit to spread joy and love. ✌️🙏💙🤟🫶🌹

Good morn/day all. I've been busy with projects, lurking a bit here, but nothing to post. Staying out of the news feed. Simple statement on the mid-east. I support people, and despise terrorizing organizations. I support Jews/Israelis, Muslim & Christian Palestinian people. Despise Gov't of Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS. You get the point.

I was watching it and now I've lost track of it. I don't remember how far in I was but maybe to the second season. I thought it was intriguing.

It's all Hocus-pocus - everyone guessing. Regulation of price gouging would do more to regulate inflation than interest rate raising - Fed can't, congress can - but won't/can't/doesn't.

So some of you say it's to keep over-borrowing which leads to bubbles.
- we've had relatively low interest rates since 2008. Bubble?

Some say it's to keep inflation down.
- we didn't have much inflation until post COVID corporate price gouging. (It's not very much labor related.) Which made us afraid of hard landing recession - Bloomberg swore a year ago we'd be in a hard recession by today.

I discover that it was probably in the city sewer line so called the city. They came out, eventually said It all looked pretty good after rotojetting a bunch of roots out.

Then I had to drive 45 minutes south to pick up some linoleum for a job. Pickup at Lowe's was awkward but I returned home and then came to get tacos and a beer to cure the near migraine that I've had since coffee time this morning.

It's somewhat better now. Joy.
Time for ibuprofen, jammies, and a movie.

Today was...not wonderful.
An hour this morning searching for plane flights that wouldn't cost me an iron and leg to go down to Puerto Rico before less than a week to go to court to get money from a contractor. It's going to cost me more to go down there for the court than the money I'll get back out of the guy.

Then my tenant called and said the plumbing backed up into the downstairs shower. Wonderful! So I spent several hours rooting out to the street.

@phase2
I think he said he did ancestry. Hmph. Only a matter of time.

@stueytheround @EnochianEntropy
Stuey who is Emily? Who is Mouse and who is Eleanor and when did she get married? So many questions. 😝

@Agatha
That's not quite ELIF enough.
I still don't get it and I try to pay attention to these kind of things. But it just doesn't make any sense to me.

@YogaSteve
Truly, they're expensive and we use them in our drinks at the bar which means I get to have them whenever I want, which means I'm a spoiled MF'r.

@quietphysicist
The older I get the sooner I find that part of the day.

@phase2
Not if you never spit in their cup.
My brother said he did though, so they probably have all they need to know about me.

Can anyone explain why a strong jobs report and economy it's necessary to have high interest rates to drive down employment?
What the fuck?
Over.
