It hurts a guy that much to pull out an eyebrow hair? Guys, I need someone to test this. Just yank out one eyebrow hair and report back.

I tried, but couldn't. Can't find my tweezers.

I will try again later. For Science!

(PS if anyone wants to buy an antiquarian book business with a gorgeous house attached, they're still looking for buyers!)

If I won a mega-lottery, I would invest in struggling used and antiquarian book stores, keeping them open and creating a network where they could share information about who has what, providing the tech savvy people to do the computer work so the booky people could focus on the books.

I've been having a lot of anxiety lately. Finally figured out it's because I haven't done much on the job-search front lately. So today I joined LinkedIn.

The latest from my boss is he may cut both our salaries so the company won't be losing so much money. At least that gives me more time for job searching while still employed.

Can someone do me a favor and take a look at my resume? (Especially if you work in the tech/software development industries?) Mostly I want to avoid mistakes before I post it to LinkedIn, etc.

Tommy that sounds tough. Good luck. (I am not a resume expert)

I hate that even if I only have a couple glasses of wine I have a headache in the morning. But thank goodness I have today off work. Yay!

I have nothing to add re: dementia, but I will be all for moving into a party senior living place when I'm of an appropriate age. Bingo and crafts here I come!

(There's a funny short Bucky Barnes fanfic about Bucky hanging out at the senior center for bingo night with the other veterans, and what happens when somebody decides that bingo night at the old folks' place is the best time for an armed robbery.)

My paternal grandmother had what was probably Alzheimer's (diagnosis in the early 70s was iffy). Grandma had been a sharp, curious, strong-willed woman, with a very equitable marriage for her time. Seeing her diminish was so hard on Dad. Easier on Mom, though. Eventually Grandma forgot she hated Mom, and their relationship improved dramatically. I was about nine when grandma died, and she'd been in a nursing home, basically unresponsive, for over a year before that. So I never knew the woman my dad knew. I regret that.

ETA: Oooh, that sounds good, Connie. Do you happen to have a link or author name handy?

Tommyrot, please send me the resume. I see a lot of them and can give my thoughts.

I can give your resume a look when a get a chance this weekend. I don't know much about the resume aspect, but I'm in tech.

I can take a look, too, although I don't know how much help I'll be.

Holy cow, flea. What an awful story.

From across the Cubicle Wall: "You know when you pull out one single nose hair, and it hurts so much? The whole side of my face is on fire! It's like when you pull out an eyebrow hair! It's just AGGGHH!"

That was my question! Because I have pulled out both, and they are not at all the same! But maybe my eyebrow area is numbed from years of abuse?
