I do. Our office is 1.5 to 2 hours north. I go there occasionally for meetings, but that's about it. All of us on the sales side are now working form home almost exclusively. I've actually had a home office since about 2005, and haven't had a 100% office gig since. A couple were part in, part remote.

Yeah, doc told me 4-6 weeks initially. I left a message today to see if they want me to push out the reevaluation a week or two due to that (literal) misstep. I don't want to pay for one office visit again, let alone two.

Oh, The Triangle: I've watched it before, but it was years ago. Might be something good to re-watch (after I'm done with Reacher on Prime.) Thanks for mentioning it.

I take it off and lace the left boot up uber tight for snowy stuff. No pedals on that side of the quad, so that helps. I just ordered a set of heated socks this morning. Here's to hoping I never really need them. (Yeah, right.)

Dammit, White. You're gonna cost me more money!

It may be time to rethink the value of Amazon Prime: https://www.pcmag.com/news/amazon-pr...o-139-per-year

Wasn't it like 99 annually not to long ago ? That's what I remember anyway. I haven't had that long. A lot of things have gone up recently...in a crazy way.

"The last time the company raised Amazon Prime’s membership cost was in 2018 when the annual price went up from $99 to $119..."

Kind of hard to swallow when a "Thursday
earnings release... showed Amazon’s net sales during Q4 2021 increased 9% year over year to $137.4 billion. Net income also soared to $14.3 billion, up from $7.2 billion in the same period a year ago."

There are a lot of alternate sites from which to buy products at the same or lower prices, and get them quicker. According to the article, Prime Video is only $8.99 a month by itself, but at that point, the other benefits (shipping, music...) are only another $31.

Their shipping isn't what it has been, can't really blame them there. also, I can't believe transportation costs, That has to be digging into their pockets pretty deep. That parts not their fault either, shipping costs are astronomical these days. Sounds like they don't want to loose anymore because of it. It went up a lot....adds up quickly for them I expect.

The rest of the population should get paid more money to counter, minimum wage SHOULD get a healthy increase.

He posted it on the YT comment thing.... I'm still trying to figure out how it works, and why I keep getting them.... and better yet, how I can do it. I have a couple of friends with channels that I need to ask.
