When my FIL what was a veterinarian was cremated, his remains were in a nice wooden box on his old antique desk. My SIL always referred to it as, "Doc in a box."

Getting the same issue here. Seems sporadic.

Zuck claims it's up to 30 million now

 

RIF still works today for some weird reason, but I'm not logging in. I wanted this adorable scrungy cat to be my last memory of Reddit.

I'm leaning more toward "incompetence" as the explanation for this. What good does it do Reddit to leave RIF intact, but simply disallow logging in?

Reddit's value depends on content creation and interactions driving ad views. Read-only RIF users create no content or interactions with the site. And for many like me who purchased the premium ad-free version, we see no ads.

Admittedly, I'm not sure if the RIF ads in the free version are Reddit's own ads or not, but without the content creation, and the interactions driving more engagement, RIF does little but drag on the site.

30 minute episodes, yes. But over that I tend not to commit...

I will be interested in seeing if traffic here noticeably increases after today...

 

My latest quiche from scratch: Ham, roasted red peppers and scallions, with Swiss and Mozzarella cheese.

This is great advice, coming from someone who pondered using the "Mother was really sick and had to manage her illness and passing" excuse if I ever went back, as it was true for me too. (I'm sorry for your loss, it's a really painful life transition, I know.)

I ended up taking a slightly different approach. I worked in IT project management before I retired early. My LinkedIn resume shows me currently employed as an "IT consultant" and will until I decide I need another job or I kick it.

OP, this person knows what they're talking about. One of the screening questions when I was diagnosed with ADHD had to do with clumsiness. My own parents used to call me, "An accident waiting for a place to happen."

I have slowly been able to improve my clumsiness a little bit, by exercising regularly with a trainer 5 days a week. One of those days is a balance-focused day and after 2.5 years I'm actually able to hold poses and (mostly) stay upright and steady. But it was SLOW going.

The night before my 50th birthday, after I had been taking this class for 7 months, my husband and I were on a sunset cruise and his phone fell out of his pocket and over the side of the ship. I reached out with one hand and successfully caught it. THAT KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!

I celebrate that day every year as much as my birthday now. I managed to show off hand eye coordination before I was 50!

Get screened... :)
