We have not had spring - we bounce between 40 degrees and 89 degrees. It doesn't stay in the 60-75 range for long at all

Problem set up in my economics textbook:

An economy consists of three workers: Larry, Moe, and Curly. Each works ten hours a day and can produce two services: mowing lawns and washing cars. In an hour, Larry can either mow one lawn or was one car; Moe can either mow one lawn or wash two cars; and Curly can either mow two lawns or wash one car. What is the most efficient way for them to produce results in one workday?

My first instinct was, fire that layabout Larry.

In a real company, Larry would be promoted to manager.

SH Trigger

Possible trigger:

I think I should have gone to the ER for one of my cuts to get it stitched but it's too late now. Too many hours have passed. I'll have to watch it and maybe make an appointment with the GP if it doesn't get better. It is draining something. Oy vey. Worst thing is, I still want to cut.

Not a good week. HUGS Kit

So today I showed up for my MRI and was told the machine was broken.

If only I thought more quickly, I would have asked if their phones were as well.

The nurse tried to kiss my ***, which did nothing to help my opinion of nurses, especially since she was the one who admitted to not calling when she should have.

On a positive note, I think I'm going to go to the mountains for Memorial Day. Be nice to escape for a bit.

May 21, 2019, 06:32 PM

Having a really **** day.

Hugs to you Kit. I hope your trip is peaceful and calming.

Also her hair was very blond. Quite disconcerting next to the orange skin.

Someone should make a rolling around in emotional pain emoji. It's stupid I am perfectly fine then it feels like I am being stabbed, maybe I have an ulcer...and it's not emotional pain 9 years is a long time and he said we spent 4-5 sessions talking about leaving, how come I don't remember that. If he was having family issues and wanting to scale down why didn't he say so and I could have tapered off. I think he took advantage of my dissociative memory.

We can't answer that question without knowing the VALUE of a car wash vs a lawn mow.

I thought it was a productivity issue not productivity that other word.

Well, do we know how many lawns are to be mowed and how many cars washed?

We can't optimise productivity without reference to some external demand.

We have been having an exciting evening of tornado warnings and hail.

I took my mom to an Indian cuisine place for dinner, my first time there, it was so delicious. I had malai kofta I think it was called. Veggie frittatas in a brownish orange colored sauce over rice. It was so tasty! My mom got something with garbanzo beans I forget the name and we ended up sharing them. And we got these lentil cracker things too. My taste buds came alive!!

stopdog · May 21, 2019, 10:50 PM

The lentil crackers were probably papadum.
I love indian food.

Maybe chana masala for the garbanzo beans dish? I like that one. I remember the first time I tried Indian food, at a buffet during an internship in college. It was like a revelation, particularly the veggie samosas and...whatever the green sauce they serve with them is.

It's on June 16, which is the day I was adopted, so it's quite literally the day my father became my father. I'm having some feels about this.

I'm sorry for your loss NP. Would it help if you spent time with family?
