For me it's pretty much the same.  No plans really.  I just know time is going to fly by until New Years.

Off-Topic / Some fun facts about turkeys

« on: November 21, 2021, 08:58:15 am »Message ID: 1364765

Turkeys Have Nothing to Do With Chickens

There’s a common misconception that turkeys are just overgrown chickens. In fact, the two distinct species are separated by 45 million years of evolution.


We Almost Ran Out of Turkeys

Today, there are 7 million wild turkeys roaming North America, but a century ago, they were hard to find. Humans almost hunted turkeys to extinction in the early 1900s, but imaginative conservation efforts brought them back from the brink. Thanks to the invention of a cannon-fired net that captured turkeys unharmed for relocation to areas where there were none, the species — and Thanksgiving — endured.


Turkey Droppings Reveal Their Gender

You can tell a lot about a turkey by the droppings it leaves behind. Male turkeys leave droppings shaped like the letter “J.” Their female counterparts leave droppings in a spiral shape — and droppings can clue you into the turkey’s age. Older turkeys leave droppings with a wider diameter.

Off-Topic / Does anyone still use Craigslist?

« on: November 19, 2021, 09:28:27 am »Message ID: 1364711

I just added an app (through My Points) where you can search for jobs and I thought of Craigslist.  I haven't used that website in a long time.  I actually found my last three jobs on that site and I've had my current job for 13 years.

Off-Topic / Did you ever want to run away as a kid?

« on: November 07, 2021, 08:04:25 pm »Message ID: 1364358

I remember me and my best friend made a plan to run away.  I was about nine or 10 and we were going to go live in some woods by a shopping center.  She was going to ride her bike to my house then knock on my window at night and we were going to run away lol but we fell asleep.

When I was a kid I loved Gilligans Island although I thought Gilligan was so annoying.  I just wanted to be marooned on a desert island.

Off-Topic / Do you own an electric car?

« on: October 31, 2021, 09:08:13 pm »Message ID: 1364087

How do you like it compared to gas?  I don't right now but my next car will be electric.  I won't be getting a new card for well over a decade so I think by that time maybe there will only be electric cars.

Off-Topic / Anyone else sad that fall is here?

« on: September 27, 2021, 10:13:21 am »Message ID: 1362749

I love hot weather so I'm really not happy that the weather is changing and getting cooler and the days are shorter.  I'm not looking forward to it at all.  I hate then the it gets dark at 5pm.  After fall comes winter which I hate even more.  Eventually I plan on moving again to some place warm all year which won't be for a few years so for now I have to put up with it.  UGH!

My schedule differs pretty much weekly.  Sometimes I gave to get up early some days I don't I used to prefer working late but my schedule changed a lot because of covid now I work a lot earlier and now I'm getting used to it even though I'm not a morning person.  Monday I don't have to be at work until 6:30 pm and I love it.

Do you like it?  I've thought about it.  I want to see if I save time and money.  I know some of them are expensive.
