My great-Grandmother on my mom’s side smoked like a chimney, drank highballs all day and lived into her late 80s … only reason she passed was her sister (who was into her early 90s at the time) hit her with the car trying to back out of the driveway…and even then she hung on for a couple weeks … tough broad man

We can never guess the hand we will be dealt. We’ve all heard these stories along with the ones where seemingly fit people fall over dead or don’t wake up. Loved ones find out after the fact that despite eating healthy, exercising, and doing all the right things they still had clogged arteries.
I know that if I take care of myself then my quality of life will be good. Statistically, it should also be longer than someone doing the opposite. One thing of which I’m certain is that my high quality life is more enjoyable than the average American’s sedentary, fast food fueled life.

Even more than that. No matter what hand you’re dealt your quality of life is better if you make better choices.

Girls who walk about by bending their knees in excessively. No, it docent look cute, it just makes you look like you have weak ass glutes
Mother’s Day.
My kids are 6 and almost 3 at they’re not doing squat on their own. I feel like it’s up to me to do Mother’s Day for my wife, and I did.
The part that irritates me is that I feel like I had to choose between my wife or my mom. I chose my wife this year and I’m pretty sure my mom is mad.
I’m drinking Vanilla Crown Royal with frozen berries in lieu of ice cubes to cope. It’s delicious.

What? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen this.
One of the bartenders at the bar I bounce at does that sometimes. I don’t drink but sometimes a drink just looks frickin good.
I have a weak ass and swing my hips when I walk and it looks slutty. I’ve been doing nothing but split squats, hip thrusts and lunges (squats and DLs are out because of injury) and those haven’t seemed to help. My mom nags me about it, which is annoying. I’m actually getting pissed at myself at this point.

I’m sure its not near as bad as you think it is -
When a customers procrastination becomes your problem. The customer is not always right, in fact, sometimes the customer is a bonehead.
I’ve always thought that was a weird phrase. If the customer was right, why would they be paying you, the professional? I get the intent of the message, i just think it gets misinterpreted regularly
In truth, I don’t think I’ve ever said ‘the customer is always right’ without a heavy dose of sarcasm attached.
Has the phrase ever come up without a customer either having fucked something up or been rude?
In my experience it has, but still with the attached sarcasm.
Edit: An example could include being given some solid, but somewhat unrealistic business advice by a customer. “Yeah that’s a great way to look at that, thanks!” … “That’s not even remotely close to doable here, but ya know, customer is always right smirk.”
Looking at this from a purely capitalist standpoint: Give them the boneheaded solution they asked for, and then when it breaks sell them the real solution. You come out ahead and the bonehead pays for his stupidity. Sounds like a win, win to me.
Of course, those pesky morals get in the way sometimes…
I don’t see this as a winning strategy in my experience. I think the customer in this situation will find a way to shift blame onto you, then take their business elsewhere. People rarely like to take the blame or to look stupid, especially after paying for the privilege.

Good point. Didn’t think about it from that perspective.
It’s a different scenario though when the customer seems to have a different concept of time than, well, pretty much everyone else they operate with.
So, the floor plan of my office is fairly open … the cube walls are only about 42 inches from the ground and sound travels. Most people, when conversing, keep their voices relatively low and respectful of others working.
There’s this fucking lady with an annoying frog voice that has no concept of anything outside her world. Always loud and obnoxious. So fucking annoying. The croak in her voice permeates through my ear buds and music
