I'm glad you think my responses are 'zany' though.

A man can't wander through the woods after dark carrying a shovel without an inquisition anymore!

Its really getting quite intolerable!

No. He's just a really good Intern.

Hiring the right people is a critical part of business. Also, I've been doing Taxes for 22 years, I kind of know what I'm doing.

Also, posting is kind of my therapy, its my break. Its like an odd 'stream of consciousness' because people can whine and complain but they can't do anything about it so long as I follow the rules.

I have to vent my humour and thoughts somewhere, only so much can be expected of my intern and my wife is pretty done with it...so you guys get to be the beneficiaries! See how lucky you are!!?!?

Hell. You're the second poster in this thread alone to complain about my post-count but I didnt even make it past the second round of 'Most Annoying Poster.'

So it cant be all that bad. Embrace it!

I wasn’t complaining. Just pointing out that it’s not an August thing lol.

Let your freak flag fly… but if it’s your Canadian Tire freak flag, keep it out of the arena thread.

I am not talking about the nutbars who protested everything, I just mean the normal people who followed the rules. People are probably getting tired of the same messaging.
Get used to it. This is your future. Now get back to your zone. You're only allowed out once per month for 20 minutes.

20 minute cities now? I won't loosen my tinfoil hat until we're guaranteed at least 30.

I live in a 15 minute city, and make sure you don't encroach or I am reporting you.

The restrictions don't even bother me, my grass is dead anyways. I also started to conserve water on my own a long time ago when you look around the world and see how many people are without clean drinking water.

My only issue is the 20 second hand washing, I touch a lot of germy things.

What does that do, though? We basically grab water from the river, use it, then it kinda just travels back to the river on the other end. Or evaporates and rains down. Like, you not using water here doesn't make water appear for a kid in Ethiopia.

Just a better effort to conserve our water and not wasting on it just because we have it.

Fair enough. Limiting wastefulness in everything we do is probably the best approach.

I wish it would stop raining so hard, it's really annoying when I'm out there watering my plants and garden.

Water on
Wet hands
Water off
soap and scrub and lather and rub as long as you want
Water on

That’s exactly how I shower, too. I’m a water miser.

You know what really drives me crazy?

My father died a few years back so I visit my mom frequently and many years back they decided to get one of those 'tankless water heaters.'

Well they take forever to heat up water, so when I'm at her house I have to wash my hands in cold water because waiting for the thing to heat the water up wastes a ton of water!

So at her house I have to wash my hands in cold water and keep hand sanitizer in my pockets, its like the crappy ol' pandemic all over again.
