      I’ve got a pain in my butt. It flares up when the kids are around.

            Is it treatable? Today’s the first day of March break and I’ve already yelled at the kids (sorry had deep meaningful conversations) with them twice about getting outside to play with the dog.

            Right now there is a difference in opinion about what they are going to do…

              @goosehd I’ve had this exact conversation today as well. Epidemic

                I can’t believe we are still waiting for the first “single blade barber” jokes from @Matt after several months on the job. Beginning to wonder whether they are a trade secret to avoid negative publicity. There’s got to be some bloody good ones.

                The journey is the objective.

                  My apologies @Matt !
                  The above was meant to be a friendly joke. I thought your fine sense of humour, your barbershop experience and the ‘single blade shave’ discussion in another thread were perfect to invite jokes/stories from you. Seemed like a fine idea to me that late night but it surely didn’t belong here in RANTS. I’ll blame alcohol for my judgement lapse.
                  Sorry buddy, never meant it in any other way.

                  The journey is the objective.

                    Dude, I’ve been super busy at work today. Saturday’s are bonkers. You’d be hard pressed to offend me. No apologies necessary. Honestly I couldn’t thing of a decent joke at the time and was a wee bit under the influence so I just forgot about it 🤭

                      Having to do a tax return for a country you don't live in or have any financial connection to... is a tedious way to spend a Sunday evening.

                      Take the dive...

                          Same here about the tax thing…It gets messy due to retirement accounts, investments, and the business. I’m to the point I just give everything to the accountant to do.

                            @Matt didn’t this get banned last year in the USA? Sunshine Bill or some equally dumb name (but decent concept)

                              @Alex Had to look it up, but it was called The Sunshine Protection Act. It got approved half way and is currently stalled/in limbo. If passed it will make DST permanent.

                                I'd love it if the UK could stay on Summer Time. The early-evening darkness during winter is depressing.

                                    @Jett129 from memory it was tabled when there were a few world crises going on. Got to hand it to America to really focus on what’s important

                                      Right. Think the Act has something in it about a percentage of states needing to adopt it before it becomes a federal law. The govt wants to keep DST but scientists say ST is better for people’s biorhythms.

                                        There was going to be a 2 year trial,but parents were afraid of traffic accidents/deaths related to their kids walking to school in the dark. So it’s been postponed.

                                            Unquestionably a good idea when we were an agrarian nation burning whale blubber to see at night, but DST is obviously obsolete and carries a public health burden. It needs to go.

                                            Think it, be it.
