The guy that does my taxes was working in this fancy tall building on the West Side, wearing a suit. Next thing I know, he's working out of his house. He said it was a "quality of life issue" - meaning driving to the West Side and back through rush hour traffic every single day for years.
This is why the supplement scam is worth billions. People are so fcked up from the life they think any pill will help. Vitamins and supplements are a total scam. They have little to no effect. If I want the benefits of lemon I drink lemon water. Same thing with ginger. Now I keep seeing commercials for the latest scam. Ashkawandal root or some such name. Supposed to increase resistance to stress. Bet it is going to sell like hotcakes.

I think I will make my bathroom old-friendly. It will have to happen eventually and I am exactly the person you would call to do this job. But I would make up some bullshit reason why I couldn't do it because I hate doing bathrooms. I've done a thousand of them from the studs out, plumbing, fixtures, floor, tile, paint, cabinets. It's like working in a phone booth.

Eat the whole food - I've never believed in supplements. Read about microbiohms, immune system health etc. I love fresh ginger!

Yes, why not? You know that I’m not limited to one genre. I get bored quickly.

There's 192 geraniums that have been transplanted into small square pots. A few more  weeks like that and they get transplanted into 4" round pots and trays  and then stacked on these yet-to-be-specially-built racks in front of the south facing windows in the garage. The temperature can be roughly controlled in there. In retrospect, this is a lot of screwing around to procure 192 geraniums, if for some bizarre reason that is one's goal.

"Rhodium, the most expensive metal in the world, is a rare, silver-white element belonging to the platinum group of metals. Renowned for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and remarkable reflectivity, rhodium is indispensable in industries such as automotive manufacturing, where it is a key component in catalytic converters, as well as in jewelry and high-quality mirrors.

The metal's extraordinary value stems from its scarcity, complex extraction and refining processes, and high industrial demand. Found primarily in regions like South Africa and Russia, rhodium is among the rarest of all precious metals, which further drives its market price."
