Have you looked at security jobs? Avoid retail security if at all possible since you'll be dealing with some really shady people at times but there are probably lots of office tower jobs/front desk/security positions available. Many of these jobs don't require experience, some will train but in many cases the work is not hard, especially night shifts. If you're a night owl try to get a job as night watchman at a warehouse or storage facility. I started as a grunt at a private security company and I now make north of 60,000 a year running the front desk operations at a commercial building.

I'll check into that. That might actually be a better fit for me.

Was supposed to mow the yard, but a buddy just texted saying he has steaks and beer and do I want to come over? Hmm, what to do...🤔

Follow your gut man, follow your gut.

...after all you've got kids to mow the yard, no other reason to keep them around right?

I've not seen Rocketman but the lesbian movies I've seen with sex in them seem unimportant to the movie. So why do they seem to force homosexual sex or straight sex when the story could without it. Below Her Mouth was mainly a porn flick with no plot whatsoever and pointless as there needs to be a plot in what alas should be a movie.

I like the way you think. Lol. The yard still needs to be mowed. But not today. Told the wife I don't mow on Shabbas.

At my age I'd choose free food and beer over a happy ending down at the massage parlor.

Seriously though, I know where you're coming from.

What could I buy to stop my Blu-rays from tipping over my shelf? Thanks!

I really want to travel sometime in the not so distant future. I have always had an aspiration of driving to all 4 corners of the U.S. Not so much for any tourist attractions but simply for the experience. I really don't want to wait until I'm old, grey and retired. I've worked since I was 12 years old, never really knew what I wanted to do with my life. What's holding me back? My family of course, I've got a 10 year old daughter and a fiancee who is just starting her nursing career. Wish I could just quit my job and hit the road for the next year or two.

I had a bit of a close call at work that could’ve been pretty bad for me.
Doing a Hazard ID on that particular job, plus my Lead Hand not hesitating to make the call, might be the reason I’m walking around today.
I’m feeling grateful.

I have a similar fantasy. I'm not beholden to familial obligations like you but my "handicap" is somewhat of a bigger issue - my lack of experience driving (and, of course, lack of money). The continental US is so big and the terrain so varied that a trip like this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially for someone who lacks the experience being behind the wheel. I'll probably avoid major metropolitan areas since I suspect traffic will stifle my enjoyment somewhat. I think most people would find a journey like this boring and a waste of time and money but then again those people severely lack imagination and vision.

are the blu-rays themselves tipping over.?...or is the shelf tipping over.

if it's the shelf, you can install a safety strap...

or if the shelf sits right up against the wall, you can run a screw through the back of the bookcase (if that's the style you have) to hold it against the wall. iv'e done this and it hides easily since the cases cover up the screws. and you usually only need 1 or 2 to hold it up.

Watch Below Her Mouth which is basically a porn movie with no development.
Loving Annabelle and Blue is the Warmest Color are some. I can't remember if My Summer of Love had it or not.
The lesbian movies sex scenes are entertaining but if I wanted to watch porn I would not watch something that is suppose to be a real movie

For a time that was all I watched on Netflix

I was teasing my fiancee a bit last night about it actually. I told her once were married and she becomes my daughter's legal guardian for when I'm not around I'm going to quit my job and hit the road for an indefinite amount of time, leaving her with a POA to my savings account to provide for the kid. I was joking of course but she didn't think it was funny. Oh well, it may be better to do such a trip with someone else any way .... My daughter has a desire to backpack across Europe after graduation, fat chance I'll let her go by herself so maybe I can convince her to join me on a CONUS trip instead, as a bonus it'll likely be cheaper

Well, just a little over a year later, and I have another tooth that is going to need a crown. Went to the dentist this afternoon to have a molar looked at. I thought part of the filling in it had come out but part of the tooth actually broke off. I might also need a root canal but since I've surprisingly had no pain or discomfort from it, the dentist said I might not need one. She just won't know for sure until they start working and see what's what.

I didn't care for the practice I went to in 2018 for my previous crown, so I went to a new place today and liked it a lot. Had a calm quiet environment and the staff, assistants and dentist were really warm and friendly. And they even have a lab on-site for same-day crowns, so provided I don't need a root canal (which they don't do for some reason, so I'd have to go see someone else to have it done) I'll be able to get my crown on the same day instead of having to come back 2-3 weeks later. That's pretty nice.

At work we get bonus checks every June and December. I'm glad the June one is the day before Captain Marvel releases on blu. It will help with buying all the exclusives.
