I had a similar issue with a sonicare toothbrush. Despite being waterproof, it eventually let water in, which corroded the circuit board, and caused it to go on and off at random intervals. I broke into it (the bottom is a plug), cleaned it, but this still didn't completely resolve it. So had it apart again and cut the battery wire.

TL:DR, break into it and cut the battery wire.

I am with you on this. My wife and I both are open books with each other. We both know each others passwords. Her fingerprint lock is set to also recognize mine. We each know the passwords to each others email accounts. We both have GPS tracking turned on and shared on our phones so we each know where each other is. Neither of us snoops because we have no reason to but either of us could at any time.

I'm sorry friend. Lost my mom to ovarian as well.

She wasn't a great mom, but she was my mom and I loved her. Fucked me up for quite a while.

When I started bawling after my (then) 2 and a half year old asked where my mommy was (she knows her other gtandmother very well) and had to explain through tears while my toddler hugged me and told me it was going to be okay.... that's when I knew that I needed to find a therapist.

That helped a lot. Might be worth looking into for yourself.

Anyway, best of luck.

You need good shoes/boots and good socks, cushion soles. If your company requires steel/composite shoes, they should have a reimbursement program. My current pair is the Danner Vicious. They were $200. Im on my feet for 10-13 hrs a day as a machinist. Justins work boots are also great, and Thorogoods. Don't get insulated unless you need them. You'll want a breathable boot/shoe. Timberland pros antifatigues are also great they make a shoe about $100 that I've seen alot of workers get and love. I hope this helps you.

>Advertising the low price, but expecting parents to ALWAYS pay extra "for the benefit of everybody else" is entirely the airline fault.

No, because in this case we've been talking about the parents complaining about being away from their little sprogs, not about who might get stuck beside them. So in this case the fee is for their benefit.

If they choose not to pay then that is entirely on them.
