Look into my navel orange…….there is no pain you are receding…..a distant ship on the horizon. Though your hands might feel like two balloons.
The power of citrus
FIFY
Hmmm, I suppose it would depend on if it had all the citrusy goodness or just the flavor.

So today's fun was having to drop my car off at the service center. Luckily, I'm still just inside what warranty is left on it. It needs the main processor replaced because the big screen is acting like an old TRS-80 that locks up sometimes and then reboots itself. They used to give out loaners to everyone that left their car there but now run out of them regularly so you get $100 in Uber credits a day. Not bad I guess. It works for getting to work and back, but I'll need a car for whatever scotch shopping I need to do if I don't get it back by Saturday. Then I roll in late to work and have B Dave blowing up my phone trying to spend my money for me. Can't say it wasn't somewhat effective.

Does that even get you to the corner bus stop these days?
Glad the car is still under warranty! Can’t imagine the bill that would be!

Well, this has to be the longest name for a soap in shaving history.
So I was in a remote meeting at my desk yesterday with my car in the shop until the weekend and got a call from the oldest saying that our SUV she's driving won't start and can she jump it. Good times. The battery on that one is probably only a year old so it's more likely the alternator. With the first kid moving out this summer, our days of needing a three-row vehicle are over except for the occasional Christmas tree or house moving. So I think I'm ready to get rid of that one and replace it with something smaller. We've been discussing it, but looking at the 2nd repair on it in as many years I think it's time. The question is do we get something nicer for my wife to drive and pass hers on for kid/guest use or get something more basic for kid use? If we had the ability to charge at home, I know my wife would like a Tesla Y, but she doesn’t want to have to deal with taking it to charge elsewhere. Likely there will be car shopping this weekend. Which isn't good because we tend to just "go to look" and come home with something right away.

That soap looks like the cover of an LL Bean catalog. Except with a longer title. Sorry about your car woes, Dave. Aggravating, but you make a good living, so you will persevere.

Whoa, that’s big news! First one out the door to college? Or just moving out?
Just wrap the kid in a nice big ol warm loving hug, look into her eyes and say:
Yea, I parent like a Viking teaches swimming.
