And you’re not going to win the argument about the curtain rods, so let him fiddle with it (using his budget, of course). As much as you enjoy several YT channels, I’m surprised that you don’t watch them on the TV. Hugs to you, **Moooom**. That’s a lot on your plate. > [@scareyfaerie](#): > > 'im indoors has been offered a 12-month contract so he will be starting that in December as he’s got to sort out clearance and whatnot first so yay for that bit of good news! Yay! > [@teelabrown](#): > > Since high quality steaks now cost as much as a used car, I’ve switched to tri-tip from Costco for our occasional steak needs. I buy a pair of tri-tip roasts, and slice them up into steaks, small roasts, and bits and pieces for stir fry or shish kebab. It’s way more economical, and tri-tip is extremely tasty, if not quite as tender as a ribeye or a strip steak. Since beef has gotten so high, I’ve mostly quit fixing it at home period. I do keep a package of angus burgers in the freezer for quick meals, but I haven’t bought any other beef for a while. Sis just called to tell me that Nelson’s auntie (his father’s littermate) just passed. 😢 She was ~15 years old. I figured she’d go sometime around her parents’ ages (17 and 20), but she just took a nap and didn’t wake up. We all should be so lucky. She had gotten up to 3.5# in the last couple of months from 3# (she was petite like her teeny-tiny chihuahua father and looked like a slightly darker red, female version of him). Sis said that the other dogs are sniffing around the places she liked to lay down. At irk, it was a bad start Monday. Between the system being down when I came in and the @$$holes from the department next door on the weekend raiding our area for charging cables (the bastiges tried to run off with the data cables and hub I need to program Motorolas and disconnected it), good boxes and racks. Oy! I hope tomorrow will be better. Stay safe and healthy y’all! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-really-im-starting-the-mmp/1009018)._
