Really? All the serious candidates you interview take notes? I’ve never once had that happen in 18 years as a hiring manager. Never once.

I certainly know who he is and have a warm spot for him as a modern Canadian icon. But I don’t listen to music much so his work is not really a thing for me.

All of them, who are of age. Here it is very uncommon for a healthy, neurotypical adult not to have a driver’s license, whether or not they have a car.

IDK precisely, but my car is a mileage-limited lease so I don’t put more than 15K a year on it. We almost always take DH’s for long road trips of 1K or more distance.

This. Anything deep-fried kills me (acid reflux) but I can’t say a grape jelly Bismarck doesn’t sound tempting. :cloud9:

I'm peeved for you, just hearing about it. How ill-mannered. :mad: And this guy even has the temerity to let you know he's going to soak you. Wow. We treat people at restaurants fairly often and always, always pick the place. Anybody not raised by wolves has been in situations like this before...

This. But in advance, I'd also steer us towards a restaurant in a price range that was comfortable for my budget. And once the offer was out there, if the other dad jumped in to offer to pay for everybody himself, I'd say "oh, that's kind - would you rather we just split it?". He'll then either...

Ah yes...memories of my misspent youth! :goodvibes I’ve seen him live a couple of times, most recently a few years ago in LA at the Hollywood Bowl. A good show in an amazing, iconic location.

Atlantic, Pacific and the Mediterranean Sea. No contest - the prettiest, Windex-blue water and softest white sand is the Atlantic, around several of the Caribbean islands. But if you want to feel small, and get a perspective on your own place in the universe, spend some time watching the sheer...

I do keep some particularly precious ones. They're stashed in a drawer and I do look through them occasionally when I run across them. I don't make a point of doing it just for the sake of it though. I've certainly never thought of gathering them into a book or anything like that, but I do sort...

Not a golfer but I have “duffed” a few rounds over the years just to be social. DH is a serious recreational golfer and as activities go, it’s pretty expensive. It would never be worth that kind of money to me.

Less so in the winter, probably, but we do use ice pretty much every day. We’ve got a fridge with a water dispenser and ice maker.

I’m currently in southern Ontario on a work trip. The Academy provided glasses we broke our conference session to go out and watch. 8-) We saw “almost” totality and it was awesome. I’m delighted because if I had been at home, I would have seen nothing. I'm sorry DH wasn’t here to share it. But...

If someone gave it to us as a gift, sure! Otherwise the cost/value proposition is just not there for us. We’ve cruised all over the planet over the past 20 years, very happily, on RCCL, NCL, Carnival, Princess and Celebrity. Any one of them will give us a great vacation for half, or less, the...

Depends on the vegetable, but it’s a split between fresh and frozen. I try to stay seasonal on the fresh stuff, which means quite a bit of frozen here during our 5 month winter. And frozen is actually far better quality for taste and nutrition than something that’s been sitting in a truck for a...

Would we like to travel a lot after retirement? :confused3Maybe. But we don’t expect to actually do it. We’ve planned and taken most of our bucket-list trips already, during our relatively high income years because one never knows what the future may bring financially. DH and I will retire 10...

Nice! I love zucchini - small like in your picture, not the huge, nasty ones people try to pawn off on me from their gardens. :laughing: I'll never understand why everybody doesn't just harvest them while they're still worth eating. We had zucchini tonight too - in a shrimp curry recipe from...

My whole car is a mess. The console is just part of it. :(

Good memories @slo :goodvibes I’ve had a few sporty little coupes in my day too. :car: For the past bunch of years though I’ve been in compact SUV’s. 4 doors and a rear hatch. My current one is a Mazda CX30.

:teeth: Good looking plate there, SLO! I like all of those and both cook them at home and order them when we’re out. Unfortunately, bacon is absolutely killer on my acid reflux, so I’ve reluctantly had to cut back.
