    Restarted my show / podcast yesterday, 1 year after losing my co-host (and best friend) to cancer. Moving forward, without forgetting him.

    Some would see this as a big step. It’s one of the hundreds of things that I’ve been doing to move forward…

      Thank you for restarting, in spite of grief and bad times. So many good podcasts end abruptly with no explanation and you always wonder what happened. It must be hard to start again. Much respect

        Thanks for your message! It wasn’t much a mystery as he stopped joining me in the show when undergoing treatment and people knew. We got a lot of love from the fans.

    Last week I ran my first ever under 1hr 10k(56:20 to be precise). I had run 10k before but my PB was 1:08:00.

      Wow! I’m still working my way to doing 5k at any time, and this looks huge to me. Congratulations! I can’t imagine having that kind of cardio endurance right now

        I can’t imagine having that kind of cardio endurance right now Even I was thinking the same when I started running. Now, here I am. I think you can also do it.

        I started with the target of 5k, once I reached that, my target was to run for 1 hour, then 10k and after that under 1 hr 10k. Now my target is to run a half-marathon.

          Thank you for your words of inspiration. I’m proud of my progress to date, and really happy with how running makes me feel. But I still felt like 5k must be an eternity away.

          Your words make me feel closer to 5 and even 10 k than I would have thought possible

    I fixed my refrigerator. 2 months ago I was changing the filter, and I was too lazy to turn off the water first, so the pressure was too high and it didn’t seat properly. When I turned it, I broke the filter receptacle. I called Samsung, and they said they’ll fix it, but they can’t tell me how much it will cost until they make the work order, and at that point I can’t cancel it if it’s too expensive. I asked if they could ballpark, like $100 or $1000. They said they couldn’t. So I told them to go fuck themselves. I ordered the part on Amazon for $60. I had to disassemble a decent amount of the refrigerator to get to the part. But I did it! I swapped out the part and everything works perfectly. All in all, it took about 2 hours. There were multiple videos on the internet on how to do it.

    Fuck Samsung.

      I’m never buying a Samsung appliance again for other reasons but I’ll add this to the list. Great work, hope they go bankrupt since they certainly won’t quit being little shits.

        I don’t recommend LG either. Mine is on at least its third compressor and it’s less than 8 years old. And I know two other people who have had the same experience… and I only know like five people.

    I helped a stranger at Costco load up a giant grill into his truck. I have no idea how he would have managed it on his own.

    It’s small because I knew it was coming, but I got the job offer for a promotion! Not many people I can tell.

      Oh dear, I didn’t know there was tomato for vacuums… depending on how it goes, this knowledge will make you either my new friend or my latest enemy…
