Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 I took my first ski lesson today, I am hooked! I am good at the bunny hill, so next week we will ramp up to the bigger hills. My complaint. I waited until almost 40 to learn! 2

Remember, children are made of rubber and cannot, under any circumstances, be injured. You are not, and you can. But seriously, have fun. It's the best way to spend winter. 2
spndnchz Posted February 17, 2022 Report Posted February 17, 2022 I remember totally snowing my bf when he wiped out in front of me. Good times when you go with your friends.

We’ve had a pond in our backyard the whole time and the basement has been wet the whole time with the water table so high.
Ogre Posted February 24, 2022 Report Posted February 24, 2022 I had to terminate an apprentice today. I really like the kid. I’ve broken my back to help him but his list of transgressions has gotten out of hand and for the good of the collective I had to do it. I strongly suspect a drug use issue and have sent him for random testing but it’s so easy to tuck a bottle of synthetic under your grundle and pass with flying colors. It’s sad because if he’d popped hot I could have kept him and provided him with help. This way it just appears that he isn’t capable and doesn’t want to. From the tears in his eyes I could tell that he really wants this. I even asked him about drugs. I told him I could help but he denied. Very sad part of the job. 3

pastajoe Posted February 25, 2022 Report Posted February 25, 2022 I’ve had swelling on the bottom of my foot for a week. Feels like stepping on a golf ball when I walk. Podiatrist says it’s plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the heel. I have to wear a hard shoe insert and do stretching exercises. Anyone else have experience with it?

Anyone else have experience with it? Expand Actually get a golf ball, and using the bottom of your foot, draw the alphabet each night with it and increasing pressure each day and it will help a lot. Injections in that area are very painful, and steroids will weaken tendons, overuse or overcompensating for another injury are the culprits, or bad shoes. Make sure you get a high arch shoe or insert and that will also help On 2/24/2022 at 10:47 PM, North Buffalo said: Where? Expand Kissing bridge, I live across the street.

I was a supervisor for apprentice crews for 9 years and had similar situations. Termination was difficult as they were unionized from day one so there had to be multiple issues over time to build a case. Nepotism was rampant so there was also a lot of politics involved. Overall, it was pretty satisfying to watch kids learn and progress through a trade. 1 1
