What is currently on your mind?

Well I've been seeing this girl. I just don't know. Now I ain't saying she a gold digger, but she does have several shovels, picks, pans and sluices strapped to her burro.

 

[Paidiske]

Ask her about her goals, dreams and plans for life. If she has goals and aspirations of her own, which she's working towards, all well and good. If her ideas seem to revolve around being dependent on someone else, well.... even that might work, if (say) you both wanted a marriage with a stay at home mum. But if not, then it might be worth considering compatibility.

 

[Chesterton]

I took your advice. I asked about her goals and stuff. She said she's going to buy some Levi jeans, and move to California to set up camp on the banks of a shallow river. Now I don't want to be cynical, but I also don't want to be naive. I still ain't sayin' she a gold digger, but it's not looking good.

You will have to see how it pans out.

If you want a camping-on-the-river lifestyle, maybe that could work. You don't strike me as that type, though, Chesterton.

That's insulting. I'll have you know I'm a very rugged male. Once while staying at the Ritz-Carlton the maid forgot to provide turndown service. I slept in the bed anyways.

No, but seriously, I'm so rugged that right after I finish shaving I still look like I need to shave.

 

[Paidiske]

That's not what I meant. More that you struck me as someone who would value some stability and financial security, rather than a more happy-go-lucky drifter lifestyle.

Sigh. On an unrelated note, I'm sure ministry used to be easier before it involved wrangling multiple forms of technology. There should have been a unit at seminary on common software problems, printer troubleshooting, and so on.

Some of us started out with ink and quill.

What commercial is it?

 

[MehGuy]

Bought a new tablet and some Sony wireless headphones.

I don't know.. I just cannot stomach wired headphones anymore. These have a 35 hour batter life, which is nice. That and the airpods I should be good.

how cheap are companies getting?

received 2 bills this wk & neither included pymt envelope!

I just called & left a message for the one business
"send me pymt envelope please!" lol

 

[Paidiske]

That must be an American thing. I don't even know what a payment envelope is.

It’s an envelope sent with the bill to send the payment in.

 

[Paidiske]

What, like, by cheque? Do most people even use cheques any more?

Lots of people still do here. They do not want to be tied to tech when it comes to important payments.

 

[Paidiske]

They're almost a dead art form here. Technically they still exist, but I can't recall the last time I even saw one.

 

[mama2one]

They're almost a dead art form here.

how do you pay bills then?

 

[Paidiske]

Online. I mean, technically I think you can take most bills into the post office and pay them there, but I think the only people who really do that are very elderly people who don't own computers or smart phones.
