Minimum Wage Increase

[Mad Mike]

dont care where the wife is when she's not here , but I do miss not being able to have her call me in the house, so I can hear my phone ring and figure out where I left it this time.

I'm the same except I don't have to yell at her to call my phone -- I have Google minis everywhere for that. "Hey Google, I cant find my phone"

If you wore a smart watch instead of your fancy mechanical beasts, the watch could locate the phone.

I wore a watch for decades, a real watch. My requirements for a watch are simple - keep time and date, sleep, ride, swim, and shower with me, only ask to leave my wrist once every few years for service.

I tried an Apple thing, to me it's not a real watch if you have to plug it in every night -- my Apple watch got fewer MPG than a TESLA.

Would it be enough to say "I'm going with John and we're headed to the Kawartha"?

In August four of us did a week long jaunt chasing gravel from Sudbury to Timmins. I told the Squeeze we'd be in the area somewhere between Sudbury and Timmins and I'd be home in 7-9 days depending how things went.
The only way she knew where we had been was to follow my credit charges thru online banking. This might not work for everyone.

I leave my location app running when I'm on the road, she can find me when I have cell service, if I don't she can see my last known location.

I usually leave a rough itinerary behind if I'm going for more than a day.

I also put it off unfortunately. Instead of paying $40/month for $1,000,000 I’m paying $84/month for $500,000. Double the payment for $1,000,000.

Mind you I had to go through hoops and medical exams with interviews with my doctors and surgeons following my cancer diagnosis and treatment.

EDIT: I know some friends who put life insurance on their kids...not sure how I feel about it. But apparently the kids get a payout at year X, so it may help? Not sure.

Based on research so far, for 500K term, I am looking at $30/mo for 10 year and 50/mo for 20 year. My wife is roughly 2/3's the price (or 50% more coverage for the same money). Policyme is 25-50% cheaper than manulife (with costco discount). We don't have price from my wifes work yet. Initial research on policyme looks ok but I need to do more research before I trust my future to them.

Try BMO @GreyGhost …but I don’t expect much difference.

A few percent higher than PolicyMe.

I'm sure that's funny if I let it sink in.

That's what I leave a ROUGH itinerary. "Hey babe the guys say we'll be somewhere north of Timmins. See you in a week"

Ha - thats nothing.

See what happens when the girlfriend and father both recognize it as mom's handwriting.
