Factory work is hard. It may be as simple as slapping a label on a box and stacking it on a pallet, but the constant bending and lifting 40# boxes for 8+ hours kicks your butt. I respect those guys. They earn their paychecks and then some. I appreciate my job being a keyboard jockey even more...

Why do I imagine you working the line snorting the pixie stix and shoveling candy in your mouth as fast as possible like Lucy at the chocolate factory on I Love Lucy?

How's your job going? I've almost always worked manual labor type jobs (ie: factory jobs, running our family restaurant, etc) except when I was in my early 20s I was a store manager for a Blockbuster video (oh boy, I took that job for granted!). Well, about 6 weeks ago I got a new job as well...

Phantom pains are keeping me up.

I have no qualms consuming insects. It's common in a many parts of the world. But this is a non insect consuming country in general, but if they show up in your rice, still alive, in a restaurant, that makes me question the sanitation in the establishment. And no, these are not pet grade...

I did. Our 3 year old reduced it to shreds no bigger than a grain of rice. He had fun, though.

Yup... my nights are still boring.

It's crazy that people would file a claim for that, but I know how it goes in 2020. This one I should have made a bigger stink about. I called health department, which didn't even show up. Go figure. Local Chinese restaurant. My wife's meal had a live maggot in her food! Yes, a live, still...

Haha! Nope. I take pride in my recklessly seasoned sauces. Ok, so I just got home from Walmart. Ya know the little yellow plastic aisle markers that have a number and letter? Well, I was grabbing a bag of chips off the shelf and the sign fell down. I picked it back up and was trying to put it...

The user is actually quite helpful and adds a lot to the forums, so I don't want them banned. I'm not into cancel culture. I believe in free speech and fully support their right to say whatever stupid things they want. I can exercise my right to not listen to them. So it's all gravy here.

It was shortly after I joined in a private message. I know that person doesn't speak for everyone here, so I blocked the user and moved on. I wish no ill will towards them and hope someday that person will understand the weight of their words and denounce the hatred.

Agreed. I almost left due to racism.

Well, due to chronic back issues, I've got a desk job now. I can't do what I used to, so I took a job as an auditor working nights. Basically, I spend an hour typing stuff in a computer and then just hang out in case the building catches on fire. It's insanely quiet, I have lots of down time and...

I tend to make a variety. From traditional Louisiana style fermented hot sauce ala Tabasco or Crystals to Asian, Indian, Hawaiian and even smoky southwestern. Depends on my mood. I, too, know my way around the kitchen. I owned and ran a very successful and respected restaurant for years. I also...

I always segregate and hand pollinate all of my peppers for accuracy and production. However, a few of my peppers aren't growing 100% true, but they're still tasty and the nursery I got them from (Cross Country Nursery) made things right. They're a great company and this is my first issue with...

Grilling with my daughter. She is taking an interest in cooking. She's my best friend. Took the kids to the park earlier as well. And a photo I took of Mrs. Petz a few years ago.

Any Meatloaf fans? Phenomenal voice!

Our 3.5 year old son is a handful, putting it lightly. So I am cutting up a Carolina Reaper peppers for a fermented sauce I am making (I might do a sauce giveaway or contest, if anyone is interest in a little fun). Minding my own business. He sneaks up and headbutts me. My scary sharp chef...

Other than my bullheads having a complete spaz attack, none of my other fish seem to like garlic. I soaked their food in garlic juice. I thought garlic to fish was supposed to be like those old Axe/Tag body spray commercials where you spray it on and the ladies attack you like a pack wild...

Ah yes, NOW I remember why we don't handle madtoms and bullheads! It's all coming back to me. Crystal clear, in fact. I've experienced this before and swore I'd never forget it. Took the kids out to one of the creeks to go swimming today. They bring little nets to catch minnows, crawfish, bugs...

He knew he messed up after that. You are correct. It is a Gaelic spelling. Well done, sir.

It's usually mispronounced. For those wondering: "Sear" like you would cooking a steak and "Shuh" like "shut". Shadow is easy, but we usually call him Remnar, his middle name.

Kiddos at the park yesterday... Shadow caught a grasshopper... Shadow tried to put grasshopper on Saoirse... Saoirse is savage. After her initial freakout, she grabbed a stick and chased Shadow, "Don't make me circumcise you!!!". Shadow, "NOOOOOO!!!!". I missed the blur of him running...

Just Chrome on my phone here. It's a recent issue. When I first started a few weeks ago, it worked just fine.

Any solution?

I browse on mobile and here recently it's been glitching when I hit the delete/backspace or the enter button to start a new paragraph. Normally, when I click to type it brings up my keyboard and I can type away, but if I have to hit the delete/backspace key or enter button, my keyboard...

Yeah, I can't give you advice on stubbornness. I mean, I can. But I won't. Deal with it. ^_^

Ah, the stubborn type. I thought you meant the bashful type.

You're afraid to ask for help? I understand that. I was the same way at your age. Now I'll start up a conversation with a total stranger and not think twice.

And don't be afraid to ask for help.

Awesome, brother! I'm in the market for a new job myself. I bet some of y'all have had my products in your home or at least seen them in your local grocery store or GNC. As the others have said, be very mindful of your back. I remember being young and bulletproof and I'm paying for it now. Back...

I never thought I'd see this day.... I finished a can of TetraMin tropical flakes... $2 and change and I fed a gazillion guppies twice daily for months upon months upon months. Now, I wonder if I'll ever use up the betta pellets. I think I need more bettas. Someone give me an excuse for more...

:rofl: Edit: out of boredom, I broke my #1 rule: STAY OFF OF FACEBOOK, IT WILL ONLY IRRITATE YOU!!! I end up "bored" once every 4 years or so around this time of year. Like clockwork. I get chest deep in drama and I make an eel out of myself. Normally I'm able to keep my strong opinions to...

I'm good. There for a few minutes I could have made a mechanic cringe yelling at myself. On the upside, it made me forget all about my tooth that's been hurting me. A few years ago I was growing them as well and one of the local teenagers swiped one and ate it. Cue the parents coming over...

Yup. They are significantly hotter than Bhut Jolokia (ghost peppers). I'm still sweating.
