I hate playing catch-up on the CT... My work day is usually from like 645am-430pm and I try not to read the boards much after that. So when I read yesterday's stuff and want to opine, I'm late to the discussion and out of the flow.

Massage Guns: I am not a huge fan, but I will say that it is the type of product where you need to pay up to get something good. The cheap ones are pieces of shit and a waste of money.

Work/Life Balance: I love my current setup, but I definitely lucked into it. I was in an office in my various jobs until I hit about 34 years old, which was coincidentally around when I got married. When we moved from Tampa to Atlanta in 2013, I had more flexibility... Purposely bought a house close to my office in Buckhead (less than 10 minutes), but still did a fair amount of travel. Started having kids... It is weird, but I missed them more during the work day than when I was traveling. My trips are either fly out and home in the same day or 1-2 nighters, so not a big deal.

Anyway, I got let go in mid-2018 with baby #3 on the way. Was extremely fortunate to land a job where I work from home, but still travel. It is ideal. When I am home, I can eat lunch with my kids and make all of their school and extracurricular events. I still travel, but I can be pretty flexible with it. And during the pandemic there has been no travel, so I'm home everyday. I am extremely lucky. If I had to go back to an office job, I would hate it. Having said all that, my wife does not work so it is important for me to bring in enough income for us to live the way that we'd like (which is not extravagent, but we don't need anything we don't already have). As the kids get a little older (and are in school all day), I think it'll be less important for me to work from home. My wife also plans on returning to work at that point.

Rambling here, but I do feel stress about doing well enough at my job to be able to keep the setup I have for at least the next few years. It's an ideal mix of income and flexibility. We're also in the process of moving out to the middle of nowhere, which would be difficult if I had to work at an office in Atlanta.

DDD - I'd like that PM, as well. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

I’ve been looking at properties outside of Atlanta recently on the theory I’m going to be able to keep working from home in some capacity and would rather have more space in exchange for a longer commute 2-3 days per week.

Problem is that we really like our neighborhood.
 
Heavenly Buffaloes tonight BBD.
 
Is there any combating old man soreness as you approach 40? I legit feel like I have the flu about half of the week due to muscle soreness.
 
My son turned 1 last Friday and he’s pretty good at cruising around on furniture. Can also walk holding your hands and freely push a little walker type thing around the room. He just started fully pulling up on stuff this weekend. Is a great crawler.
 
Watching Miracle on 34th Street as an adult lawyer really kills the magic.

Being an adult sucks.

Washington Football Team QB Dwayne Haskins did personal research on similar Washington area establishments. Minus his mask. So he is on Covid quarantine for two weeks. He begs to differ on the "best evaaaarrrr" comment here.

Clearly he's dumb if he made the mistake of hitting up more than one dc... establishment.

The pics are apparently multiple strippers and two locations. One location may be a hotel room.

Increased stretching helped, especially prior to strenuous activity. When I discovered the benefits, I began to stretch for short intervals throughout the day. Seemed to reduce stress as well.

You folks have been on fire for the past six pages. The best of the chat thread in quite a while.

Work/life balance. The amount of time you have in each day of your life is finite. The amount of money/work/possessions is infinite. When I valued time in my life I was happy. When I valued work/money/possessions I never had the time to enjoy them. Somewhere along the line I learned to value each moment as a gift. That's why it's called the present.

Happy holidays to everyone. It would be a pleasure to meet each and every one of you.
