HOT HOT TOPICS
– I prefer to leave a cash tip for my server at a restaurant. I tip more when I use my card because I know that those tips have to be claimed.
– I managed to live 45 years as of today without doing something stupid enough to end that streak, so that’s pretty neat.
– so, who’s looking forward to another year of rafe’s twitch 2024 recorder alert? you said it now you can’t take it back.
– what is the stupidest thing you have done this year?
– rest.

low: no snacks

caleb’s high-low
high: new year’s eve
low: NYE mental prep

HOT HOT TOPICS
– caleb needs to rejoin the government as a 2nd job, just to take care of my paperwork. all agencies, he can just come in as a trouble shooter. 90 business days to update one number is excessive
– how often have you actually stuck with your new year’s resolution?
– where’s the other cream of [insert thing] condensed soups? why can’t I find cream of beef, pork, fish.
its always just chicken and mushroom…
– what are the new years traditions for your family? both growing up and current.
– do you sing “auld lang syne” on nye?
– what insane headline will we have this year? predict the craziest event for this year.
– it has been said that even bad pizza is good. to each their own with their pizza topping choices. my biggest concern with “bad pizza” is that it isn’t cooked properly. all too often, the center isn’t cooked right and since you take a bite out of the middle of a pizza first once it is sliced, that first bite can make or break the pizza.
