Got any nice stuff at your place I can "pick up" when you're required to inform me you're not home but instead at the gym?
And that's why "status updates" on social media are completely stupid. "I'm having blueberry pancakes at IHOP!" ... yeah, and someone is now sure you're not home so they're going in to take whatever they want.
I guess "status updates" are my gear grinder. They are stupid, just stupid. My neighbors are of the generation that does them. I've told them they need to let me follow them so I know when they're out of town and to be suspicious of that strange car in the neighborhood.

Originally posted by jen View PostThis is a HUGE gear grinder. We used to get health insurance discounts with biometric screening - if you met certain numbers, you got the discount (not perfect - but, whatever).
Now they've instituted a new program. You have to register online, and then track your activities/moods/every ****ing thing, and put it all on some website, every single day. When you do this, you are rewarded with points that convert to discounts on your health insurance. You can take challenges with your team! Share your activities! It's fun!
The brochure they mailed our suggests that we "take time for ourselves" to do this. I don't have time for this **** when I'm at work because I'm BUSY DOING MY JOB AND SUPPORTING OUR CLIENTS, so now I have to spend extra time on social media, in my free time, for this? Are you ****ing kidding? How is that healthy? If I "take time for myself", it's not in front of a phone or a computer, after I sit in front of a computer for 10 hours a day.
Are you really at a gym if you don't take a selfie? Did you really work out if you don't post about it on social media? If it's not on your Fitbit, did you really do it? This is the worst idea they've had in a long time and it was obviously designed by someone who spends every ****ing waking hour on social media.

Basically, I go to what is minimal and what is open at the time. Is that the best option for that decision given my choices?Last edited by leswp1; 01-11-2018, 01:01 PM.

Re: Gear Grinding 8: I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People!
Dammit. The flame sensor on the furnace is acting up again. Might be a cold night tonight. 😕
Space heater to protect the pipes but I’m also not taking the furnace apart tonight. Sounds like it catches after about 8-10 minutes of trying. I set the house to 75 for when it finally lights again. Should carry over until morning. Did last time. I suppose I could leave the oven on lowt tonight hahaCode:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Same goes for the AC. It's an old unit from the 60's. Keeps trucking like a champ. I am very adverse to replacing old things like this. They really don't make them like they used to.
At least with the AC I can keep it going. I picked up some tricks from my father. (He worked in the refrigeration business for many moons)Last edited by state of hockey; 01-14-2018, 02:30 AM.the state of hockey is good

Re: Gear Grinding 8: I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People!
It’s a simple sensor issue. Basically all furnaces have a sensor to make sure the flame is burning when it’s feeding gas. If there is no flame, the furnace is shut off. Prevents the furnace from filling your house with gas.
The problem is the sensor can fail to recognize that there is a flame. It’s a known issue with my furnace manufacturer. So all you have to do in most cases is pull it apart, find the sensor, and sand off the outer layer. Takes about an hour to take things apart, 30 seconds of sanding, and another hour to put it back together.
Glad I bought the big space heater.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1
