Starving. Dying. Sad. I can’t talk to anyone. Nobody at all.

Just alone inside myself tonight.

If you're sad because you're a failure, all you need to do is to start winning. Why don't you do that instead of being depressed?

Motherfucker, you just said you've failed in everything. If you can conceive of, and communicate, several discrete failures, it will start to set the board for things that can be won

What are a few of the failures that weigh most heavily on you

There are at least a dozen brands at a grocery store. You don't just grab something at random unless you really qre a fucking failure. Christ. This is going to be harder than expected

Next time, get a 24 oz package of Wright brand applewood thick cut bacon. Also get a package of hickory thick cut. Oven roasting is fine, but you only need one fucking piece of parchment paper to line your sheet pan. Convection roast at 325 for better control. Be sure to flip before finishing

Cooking bacon in the oven is far and away the best way to do it to get great bacon with minimal burden or mess. Just this morning, I cooked 1 lb of bacon in the oven for breakfast for my family. It was great, as always.

I use tinfoil, not parchment paper. Explain using paper. Seems ncr with the grease.

I didn't discover cooking it in the oven until I was an adult. Growing up, we would microwave it on paper towels on a plastic lid (ljl), microwave it on our special plastic microwave bacon cooker, or fry it on the stove.

I used to make it in the pan too. It just gets grease everywhere.

Parchment paper is what I had. The grease comes out and then you pull up the paper after it congeals an almost all of it comes out smooth and you can just throw away.

Does a bunch of it get all over the cookie sheet or whatever you're using? With the tin foil, you fold it up and the edges and don't even need to clean the cookie sheet because it contains all the grease.

Hi, brother. I thought about that time I went to see your brother today. I could barely walk the gout in my leg was so bad. The kids in the cab in the background. The peace and serenity of it all. That 8 hour flight back to reality looming over all of it.

I love you, brother. You have given me so much.

$225k is nice if it's $225k base + $60k bonus + $100k stock + $25k 401k match. If it's $225k all in, it's rough with kids trying to live a UMC life.

Either way, the relation of that to your NW is irrelevant until your NW is enough for you to live on with out working.
