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.”

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.

I’m old and out of the loop but that astroturfing was so blatantly obvious it pinged my BS meter immediately.

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… :)

Mazel tov!

This is great but I’ve turned it off because sometimes I want to go back to a post I’ve recently read to see new comments.

I really wish there was an option to hide posts I’ve downvoted. It’s still early days so I imagine that will come later.

Thanks for the PSA!

Nailed it!

I’m guessing that they will replace all of the mod teams and forcibly re-open the subreddits.

Doubt that will go as well as they’re expecting it to.

Like the world’s largest kidney stone, hopefully.

I’ve just gotta know was that local dial up in DC Digex?

I worked with Tale@UUNET during the Eternal September, providing NNTP support to our customers. God that was hell.

Reddit ran me off with a permaban 2 months ago because I wrote about the 3 boxes of liberty metaphor in a comment. 2 million+ imaginary Internet points down the drain. Glad to see the site shoot itself in the foot and looking forward to finding an alternative.

And the obligatory: fuck Spez.
