I remember the first time I was at someone's house and they asked a visitor who who was about to light up to take it outside. It seemed so.odd. My mom, grandmother and aunts would sit around the dining room table with a thick haze. Nobody thought nothing of it

I've donated blood and plasma and each time I've been offered rewards but don't bother claiming them. I do it to help others. My job pays me enough to live on.

Yeah but developed a quick explanation for it: Industrial water treatment tech for HVAC. You know how having a swimming pool or hot tub requires some chemistry? I do that for water in boilers and cooling towers used to heat or cool big buildings

I think a part of the reason concerts are so expensive is big acts tour with an army of performers and stage hands to ensure the music sounds exactly like the recording. That's what the audience has come to expect.

"The person of interest was named as Joseph A. Couch, 32, according to Kentucky State Police and the Laurel County Sheriff's Office. He's described as white, 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing 154 pounds." Police have not yet determined if there is a romantic connection to J.D. Vance

I prefer a tough boss as opposed to one that wants everybody to like them. Lazy workers will walk all over the nice boss and good workers get stuck carrying the weight.

They love the feeling of smoke being blown up their ass. How else do you explain them endorsing candidates that consistently vote to make it easier for criminals to get their hands on military grade weapons?

Not an expert but from how I understand it that alone doesn't qualify him to plead insanity. An insane person will act as if they are unaware of what they are doing is wrong.

Food server/bartender jobs come to mind. Not only do you meet a lot of people but they often are repeat customers. People would rather hire someone they are familiar with than a stranger off the street and it helps if they see you have a good work ethic. If you are like me and don't have a college degree don't underestimate qualities you may have that will work for you. Just by showing up with a positive attitude and being trustworthy puts you ahead. Every job I've had in adulthood came by word of mouth and they have all been small businesses. The job I wouldn't recommend is a factory job. They often will pay a couple of bucks more and seem ideal if you don't want to deal with the public but you won't meet many people besides your coworkers unless you work the dock. I hope this helps, good luck

Don't feed the animals. Especially porcupines, they'll eat a hole in the side of your house to get at the food

It doesn't matter your age, put up a bird feeder and you'll soon hate squirrels. You spend $40 on a bag of seed and they'll scoop out all the stuff that they don't want to get to the stuff they do want. Seed on the ground attracts animals you don't want like rodents or Canadian geese that shit all over. I found it easier to pay the squirrels off like the mafia. Buy a bag of corn or cheap peanuts and sprinkle some around to appease the bastards. It sucks but it's worth it in the long run.

Focusrite Scarlett interface, Audacity software as others have said. A nice pair of headphones helps too if you want to add a vocal track later. FYI after you hook everything up you'll have to fiddle with input and output settings to get it all to work. I'm sure there are videos to help you. Once it's done you won't have to mess with it again

Does your club meet regularly? Once a week, once a month? It's important to keep it regular. Predictability makes it easier for people to make it a routine. Meet on the same day of the week. Don't change it to accommodate anyone. People have their own lives, don't be hurt if they don't show. Also know that people often will say they are interested but not follow through, that's normal.
Meetings need to have a framework. I recently joined a club that begins each meeting by having the secretary read the minutes from the last meeting. Then they address old business and new business. The main body of the meeting is usually a guest speaker. After that members have time to check out a book from the library, pay dues, order hats or shirts.
Every organization needs a leader. It's never going to be 100% self maintaining. That doesn't mean you have to do all the work but you'll have to delegate responsibilities to volunteers. Don't micromanage them. Be grateful and complimentary, nobody's getting paid I assume. Be willing to accept things even though they didn't turn out how you envisioned. They'll be more willing to take projects on when you are supportive.
I hope this helps, good luck

Before cable news and before there was such an appetite for political news, real news sources were very diverse. Every newspaper had a sports section and an entertainment section. Also opinion was in the opinion or op-ed section. Nowadays I'm more leary of news sources that are strictly political news. Everyone has a Washington DC correspondent. Lots of news sites will buy all of their news outside of DC from a wire service or even sometimes their story is "reporting" what another agency is reporting. Maybe I'm just old and set in my ways but I prefer the traditional well rounded sources. Others just seem cheap and have an agenda

I was at a lull in my life and needed a passion when my girlfriend's brother gifted her scuba diving lessons for her birthday as he was instructor. Scuba always looked cool so I signed myself up and eventually saved up enough to buy my own equipment. It eventually dawns on me that the oceans are quite a ways from Ohio. Now the price of traveling is a factor so camping is a way to keep the costs down. This soon leads to me taking up backpacking. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than scuba. Diving is incredible but you spend a lot of dough to be underwater for an hour or less. While backpacking you are immersed 24/7 and it's practically free once you have the gear. In fact I could argue I save money because I'd spend money at home just keeping occupied. Gas money to Pennsylvania is the biggest expense. Fast forward 25 years and carrying a pack is getting harder. By this time I've run into a lot of fly anglers along the trail and knew when it came time to hang up my pack I'd give fly fishing a try. Trout seem to live in the prettiest places and the sport attracts the nicest people.
So that's how I became a fly fisherman. A long rambling point that I hope comes across to others seeking a passion is to just try something that looks fun. There's no reason you can't drop it if it's not for you. Doing things exposes you to other things. The important thing is to not do anything

The band Native Howl just had their gear ripped off while on tour. They also had an AirTag in with the gear but the charge died while they were tracking the thief down
