When I purchased it, my sole focus was owning a timepiece with my favourite complication: a minute repeater. I had some fantasies of wearing it, but never really ironed out the logistics in the initial weeks of having it in my possession. A few months later, I put a plan into action to try it out. As an experiment, I wore my pocket watch for a week straight instead of a wristwatch. The aim was to understand what it is really like to wear a pocket watch in the 21st century.

As a manually wound pocket watch, with a power reserve that lasts a bit over 24 hours in its current state, I really enjoyed the ritual of winding it up fully each morning. It does lose a fair bit of time over the course of a day, something I am on the record for being irked by. Of course, considering its age, the pocket watch gets a pass in this aspect, and to be safe I would always ensure I started my day with it running around a minute ahead of the actual time. Laborious, but at least a labour of love.

While the charm of it all is alluring, there is a level of consciousness you have to have in order to pull it off. For starters, walking into the train station each day I found I needed to put my hand over the pocket the pocket watch rested in so that I could ensure the turnstile did not smack it. You also, at least in regard to how I wore it, need to be aware of what you lean on or brush up against as you really want to avoid shock and damage. I also, if I am being totally honest, felt less confident pulling it out while riding the train. Whether holding a sizable piece of solid gold in a closed city train car, or the threat of train turbulence throwing me around while holding it, the anxiety outweighed the charm factor in those moments on the subway.

Probably the biggest scare I had was the threat of rain/moisture. I was very vigilant about knowing the weather forecast each day, but, at times, the weather can be quite unpredictable. So, after a day at the office, when I stepped out on to the street and received an invitation to meet up for dinner with some colleagues I was excited to get an end-of-day meal. But, as I started to text to reply that I would join them I suddenly felt a rain drop hit my head. I headed back beneath an awning to stop and look at the current forecast, and when I saw rain was imminently on the way I knew I needed to rush home before I, and more importantly the pocket watch, got soaked. Watches of this age are not really water-resistant, so they are definitely not ideal around liquid.

Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. A report by the Bank of Scotland interviewed over 1,000 young people in Britain and found that 77 per cent get pocket money. They might have to do chores to get their pocket money, helping at home with tasks like cleaning, cooking, washing up, taking out the rubbish and ironing.

Different families give different amounts and the average for eight- to fifteen-year-olds in the UK is about 6 a week. Children in Scotland receive more than the national average and Londoners get the most. Teenagers, logically, get more money than younger children. Some fifteen- to nineteen-year-olds receive more than 100 a month. The report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money.

My parents use to give me pocket money every week to hang out with my friends, and I use to save a part of it for future needs. Personally, I prefer to save money to achieve my dreams than spending them on valueless gadgets. Maybe now I can't buy everything, but in the future I won't regret.

Like I said, it's a difficult point to prove, and there's really not enough to go off of in this song, but the fact that "Can't Feel My Face" is an ode to drugs that acknowledges the drawbacks of drugs suggests that Abel is capable of being this self-aware and that maybe he really doesn't want to be a "starboy."

1. Think about distributing items at times other than major holidays. There seem to be a good number of people/organizations/shelters etc. who do things for Christmas or Thanksgiving or Easter - but once the holiday is over it pretty much disappears. How about the middle of August, when there are no holidays? If you want to put together a dinner, how about a couple of weeks before or after Thanksgiving rather than the week of thanksgiving? When we lived in San Diego we used to walk our dogs in a local park and got to meet many of the homeless who made the park their home. A week or so after Thanksgiving we'd prepare an entire Thanksgiving dinner at home, schlep it all down to the park and invite everyone to come have dinner with us. We would always have people telling us that it was easy for them to find a good meal on Thanksgiving or Christmas - but not so much at other times - so they really appreciated it.

Each week I decide how many projects I want, which generally is anywhere between two and 10. So that is a maximum of 30 hours a week if I really want to make some serious money, but I rarely have the need for that. So most times, I only work about 6 a week.

While in the late twentieth-century there are many legal safeguards in place and organizations, such as the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, to protect artists and their intellectual property, no such organizations or safeguards existed during Foster's time. There was no music business as we know it (sound recording was not invented until 13 years after Foster's death; radio, 66 years): no system of publishers and agents vying to sell new songs; no "performing rights" fees from restaurant singers or minstrels or theater musicians or concert recitalists; no way of earning money except through a 5-to-10 percent royalty on sheet-music sales of his own editions by his original music publisher, or through the outright purchase of a song by a publisher. He earned nothing for most other arrangers settings of his songs. There was no way to know whether he was being paid for all the copies his publisher sold; there were no attorneys specializing in authors' rights. Copyright law protected far less than it does today: Foster earned nothing for other arrangers' settings of his songs, for broadside printings of his lyrics, or other publishers' editions of his music. In today's music industry he would be worth millions of dollars a year, but on January 13, 1864, he died at age 37 with 38 cents in his pocket.

My best pal is here in the office lying on the couch in depression. He declined to spend this afternoon with me driving a visually impaired friend to the doctor. It seems he was declined for another lowly, near minimum waged, part time job today for which he was well-suited, but over educated and over-experienced (over-aged too). 

It made me think just how much a little bit of money means when you are down. (I'm not doing so well either, but people like me and make allowances.) I think Americans should be able to designate the use of at least a portion of the taxes we pay. I would earmark as much as possible for food assistance (not stamps anymore, just a swipe card), unemployment benefits, and yes Makework jobs if necessary,to keep good people from vegetating. It's endless the things we could do for one another. I'm advocating a Time Dollar (earn credits per hour of helping others) Bureau here in Gaston County N.C. but people can't comprehend working without real currency involved. They have a point. How do you get the gas and communications to get such an organization up and running without a handout (which prejudices your allies and beholds you to something alien to your intent)? It just seems like no government officials or agency people are interested unless large outlays are involved. It mirrors the Congress-Military-Industrial Complex. Everything has become like that (courts and prison,hero-police-drug seizers,the medical establishment). It makes people so helpless, just like preemies in an incubator, and every innovation you attempt some busybody or bureaucrat is on your back trying to impose or invent some regulation top stop you. It seems like churches would support time dollars, since they are pretty much in line with Christ's teachings, but they usually have their little sadistic constituencies (nuts who give crazy advice while they dangle a bag of groceries in front of a desperate parent), or are devoting fundraising for a missionary trip to India or Harlan County, Kentucky. (They don't want to talk off-shoring or strip-mining because their illusions would be deflated.)

What I'm saying about David Kay Johnston's piece is that the country is about rotten from top to bottom, and it will take a mortal shock to change it. People hate the Bushites, but they also admire their money grabbing talents. Poor folks tragically emulate their masters (the Bigmen).

As for taxes: It's not how much you pay: It's what you get back for what you pay in; and going it on your own in this complex and crowded world won't work anymore.

D'Youville College in Buffalo is a Catholic institution of higher learning. D'Youville wants to place a suburban cul de sac in the middle of an urban street using tax dollars. The school wants to block off the street and the community with a buffer that in my opinion is no different than the Berlin Wall or Walls in Israel. The City of Buffalo is laid out on a grid system that fosters community, easy access, and protects the safety of this community. The City of Buffalo fire department has been down sized and the emergency fire and EMS response times have been substantially increased. This proposed use of tax money will increase further the fire and EMS response times in one of the most densely populated upstate New York State communities. More than a decade ago a subway system was built down the center of Main Street using federal dollars. That project promised development in the urban core. Instead it caused a destruction of downtown's thriving commercial district. It took an area that was urban and turned it into a suburban development devoid of human activity and interaction after five p.m. It is unthinkable the an institution of higher learning would act in a hostile manner towards the community that surrounds it. This wrongful grab of a public street and closing off of the community access to our streets has never been done by the University of Buffalo, Buffalo State College, or Canisius College inside the City of Buffalo. On top of that the people who use this urban street are going to have to pay to place this public street into the hands of a religious institution to the detriment of the community. 17dc91bb1f
