Go get this book.

"Discover What You Are Best At" by Linda Gail. It's a series of self tests you can do in half a day, followed by a long list of jobs that use your particular skills.

I got the book when I was on worker's comp after an industrial accident. It pointed me at a job I'd never even considered. Turns out I really liked that job. It let me use my brains and paid a decent salary.

Think of it this way. A nurse and a hair stylist both need good people skills and dexterity. Two totally different types of work, but the same skill set.

If you have a job that lets you wake up on a rainy Monday and not hate going to work, you've solved most of your problems.

At what level?

There are plenty of general interest books.

Instead of a 'books' thread, you might want a 'nursing' or 'medical' instance.

Good luck.

A pretty well regarded book written by a neurologist for the average reader.

It's a skill you have to learn.

I have to apologize to Keifer Sutherland and the creators of 24.

When they did an season where the President of the US was actively working against the country I threw my hands up and declared the show had jumped the shark.

Here's the thing about "infinity."

There are an infinite number of possibilities between 1 and 2. 1.01, 1.001, 1.0001, etc etc. None of those infinite possibilities is 3.

Here's a really good and easy exercise plan. 15 minutes a day, work at your own pace, and the only equipment you need is a stopwatch.

Also available online for free.

When Ronald Reagan proposed trickle-down in 1979, opposing candidate George W. Bush dismissed it as 'voo-doo' economics. Later, Bush was happy to push for it when he got the nomination to be Reagan's Veep

From 1945 until around 1975 it was a real thing. Then the combination of Vietnam War spending, the Oil Crisis, and the economic policies of Ronald reagan destroyed it forever.

The more people know about tech, the more they want to avoid it.

They are just harmless fireworks. They are even useful for signaling ships at sea of dangerous tides.

No, you deserve the benefits of sobriety.

A while back I looked down a long street and didn't see one red car; in fact all the cars were some 'no color' neutral shade that wouldn't offend the next buyer.

If you're drinking you're spending time and money that could be used for better purposes.

DM me if you want help.

Decision fatigue is a real thing. Ask anyone who sat through three tests in one day; even if you have studied the material, it's hard to focus after a while. It's easy to fill our day with minutia that distracts us from the impostant issues.

Prioritize your son. Figure out what's best for him.

If an actor loses weight or works out to be more muscular, that's commitment to their craft.

If they lay out in the sun, that's cheating!

I don't need to insult you. Your own words betray you.

So, you kept saying I was wrong, but couldn't prove that Douglas didn't support the candidate who was the best of a bad lot, and helped me prove that MLK used a careful strategy that included not getting into a fight over LGBT+ rights.

You've been done since this thing started, you're just to obstinate to admit what anyone could see.

And, as Isaac Asimov pointed out, the one who has to resort to insults is the one who has run out of ideas. But since you started it, it's unconscious privilege on your part to attack immigrants.

If you don't own a good sized freezer, buy one. They aren't very expensive, and it will save you thousands.

I've got a 5 liter pot and plenty of pint sized containers. I make a huge pot of chili/stew/soup and freeze it. I've got dinners ready in five minutes. You can buy premade crusts and make your own pies and freeze them for later.

Similarly, you can cook a whole chicken on Sunday, and have chicken for the week. Chicken sandwich, or chicken tacos, whatever.

I'm not recommending this brand; just posting to give you an idea of cost.

So, again you agree with me.

Everyone is in the fight against Trump, and we need to listen to the smart leaders and not run off like idiots.
