It can get wilder. The state where I live (in the deep south), recently amended the law so that you no longer require a permit to carry a concealed handgun. And they reduced the age for concealed carry from 21+ to 18+, as well as including non-residents visiting from other states. And I don't live in Texas btw

It definitely made me more nervous after it passed. I mean, almost anyone can carry a concealed handgun now‽ Not even have to take a few-hour class, even simply to know the laws around concealed carrying? Not a fan knowing damn near anyone could be holding and I can't tell who. It doesn't help that I live in a high-crime city

Open-carry is one thing, I can see the damn thing. Now it really does feel like wild-west shit. Granted, I haven't noticed an uptick in craziness, anymore than usual... but fuck, I don't need Jim Bob feeling anymore emboldened to be a "hero", while knowing jack shit about the actual law

I had a gas stove installed by Lowe's. The guys that installed it couldn't figure out how to get the gas to stop leaking, but wouldn't admit they had no idea what they were doing. They told me I would have to turn the gas valve off at the connection when I wasn't using the stove

I stopped trying to explain and let them leave, because I was over it. Installed the connection myself, I was just happy I didn't have to move it or the old one

I did call Lowe's and let them know about it though, so that those guys wouldn't inadvertently kill someone with their installations

50/50 for sure lol

That left picture feels like modern art. Like an anti- "Thinking Man" with a cellphone. Add in the "Your Time Relax", and it's perfect

Edit: Where do they put their cellphone when they wipe?

A personalized thank-you card/note, for sure... telling them you appreciate their help and how it has helped you grow and/or become better at what you do. Doesn't have to be long, just a quick thank you

For a small token: a fun badge reel is usually always welcome. Maybe a very tiny gift bag with a keychain-sharpie, a badge reel, keychain (tiny) flashlight. Things nurses always use and appreciate, not very expensive. Coffee gift card is normally always welcome too, but can be a little more expensive, depending on your budget

Making up for lost time by pitching and catching, or by playing with 4 balls at once?
