Last Poster #6

[AngryHobbit]

Found out today... got a new job! Working as a barista at a really beautiful place, a real community and faith driven cafe which is a not for profit that gives all profits back to the community. Had a trial last week, and what I thought was an interview today, but turns out I'd already gotten it. They felt like I fit right in and were very impressed. Really excited . Only one day at this stage but will get called in when needed, which suits me just fine after my foot rehabbing and after everything else this will be good to ease back into things.

That and I may potentially be in the music team (on keys) at a new church I'd been frequenting over the last month or so, which would be such a blessing..

Have had such a drive of late to get involved more in the community and with people (which is a super duper 180° compared with the past), so I'm learning to follow that little voice

Congratulations! Well done and best of luck!

That is so darn nice, and what beautiful pictures too! Very thoughtful

It's fun. We are going through this big transition, and people are stressed. Everyone is snappy. You know? Something to help people not be so stressed. Besides, I sketch all the time - I have sketch books and binders, like stacks of them. So, it's something I can do fairly easily. Plus, we've been having such crappy weather lately (aside from three days of summer), people like pictures of the beach.

Yeah. You know you can't actually open the door while the plane is pressurized, right?
I always chuckle when I see reports of people freaking out because some drunk tries to open the door. It's literally impossible.

I'm persistent and stubborn. Some might even say intransigent...

Telling me "impossible" sounds a lot like "make it happen anyway!"

(To the FBI and NSA sorts who are undoubtedly monitoring me for oh-so-many reasons... JOKING!!! Just joking. I have less than zero intent to disrupt the orderly operation of an airline. Of course, I'd have to see an airline operate orderly to be disruptive...)

Good luck with that. Do the math for how much pressure is holding that door closed at 30,000 feet.

Now, you could do it at lower altitudes, of course. Planes are (so I've been told) pressured at about 8000 feet normally. So the closer the altitude is to the internal pressure, the more possible it will become.

Of course, even if you could open it at 30,000 feet, you're going to need more than just a simple parachute if you hope to survive.

Thanks heaps!

My oft-used version of that is, "That sounds like a challenge."

She's building her story for selling her "Recovery from Broadway Addiction" DVD series.

Nice day so far. Got about 6" of snow, and while I was shoveling the driveway, my St, Bernard was having a field day, romping around like a puppy.

Why ever would you think that needs permission or justification?

RADICAL!

Our half-a-newfie is like that, too. He's getting old, but still turns into a puppy when there's any amount of snow.

In fact, another cup of coffee is justification for other things.

That series will actually be for one of her former friends from college. She may actually be broke from going to them, plus she managed to get herself a letter specifically requesting that she no longer goes to Broadway shows. I have no idea how you manage that

Tea time....Green tea

9 day's into the new month...Gerry's already got 1&1/2 times the number of posts as the guy in second (@Dirty Dog ), and almost three times the posts of the guy in third (me). None of us will ever beat him out for poster of the month

I can think of ways... but they generally doing things that make you unwelcome to be on the property...
