This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Welcome to part 6 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series. Thank you for hanging in there with me on this rambling series. If you wish to catch up on earlier episodes, you can find them on my HPR profile page https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0394.html To review, my project is to build a portable morse code "Keyer memory" which can be connected to any of my amateur HF transceiver radios by simply plugging it in to the code key input port. This is based around an ESP32 platform which comes prepackaged on a yellow PC board with a color touchscreen display, WIFI, and Bluetooth. We fondly call this contraption the Cheap Yellow Display. So far, I have defined the necessities, collected the required hardware, and failed miserably building the graphical user interface (GUI). While I sort out the technical challenges getting my GUI code to play nicely with the CYD's touchscreen, it is important that we spend some time discussing Morse code itself, and the timing standards we will need to follow. I am not going to dive too deeply into the history behind telegraphs and Morse code, but it is very interesting. If you want to learn more, Wikipedia has the origins and evolution written out quite nicely at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code For our purposes, we will fast forward from the year 1820 (When telegraphy began) all the way to 1865 when the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standardized, what it called "International Morse Code". When I say Morse Code for the remainder of this podcast, I am referring to this ITU International Morse Code. Morse code typically includes the following characters: The 26 letter basic Latin alphabet The Indo-Arabic numerals 0 to 9 There is also a single accented Latin letter (É), which is written as an E with an accent mark, and a handful of punctuation marks. These characters are encoded using a sequence of short and long signals. Each short signal is referred to as a dit . Each long signal is referred to as a dah . At a young age, I began to refer to them as dots and dashes, as this is how they are usually written. For example, the letter "A" consists of a single dit followed by a single dah. When written out this would look like a period followed by a hyphen (what some might call a minus sign) .- This encoding method allows messages to be sent by turning on and off an electrical signal. This could result in a light flashing or a tone sounding to the pattern of the signal. The timing of a dit and dah, along with the spacing between them is carefully defined. Morsecode.world does a great job explaining the timing, and you can find their explanation at https://morsecode.world/international/timing/ It all starts with the dit, or more accurately, the amount of time the dit signal is turned on. We will call this length of time 1 unit. We will get to the actual length of time for a unit later in this episode. For now, it is just one unit. So, if a dit is 1 unit long, a dah will be 3 units long, so there is an obvious and consistent difference between a dit and a dah. Also, empty space between elements of the same character is 1 unit long. The space between characters should be 3 units long. Let's demonstrate using the letters H, P, & R. An "H" would be 4 dits …. A "P" would be 1 dit followed by 2 dahs and ending with 1 dit .--. An "R" would be 1 dit followed by 1 dah and ending with 1 dit .-. Remember when we send these grouped together like a word, we need 3 units of spacing between each character. You can hear this now. This is Morse code for the letters "HPR" at 15 words per minute .... .--. .-. That is the perfect segue to the next section, words per minute. The speed of morse code is measured in "words per minute". But how do you calculate this when some characters are short (Like the letter "E" which is only a single dit long), and other characters are long (Like the letter "J" which starts with a single dit and is followed by 3 dahs)? And that's just letters. What about words? We have short words and long words. How can we standardize on words per minute with so much diversity of length? Well, thanks to the French, we have a quite elegant solution to this problem. Well, not the French in general. Just PARIS. PARIS is the standard word which has been agreed upon to be used for determining the speed of Morse code. The word PARIS is 50 units long. "P" = dit(1) + (1) + dah(3) + (1) + dah(3) + (1) + dit(1) = 11 units {Space between letters} = 3 units "A" = dit(1) + (1) + dah(3) = 5 units {Space between letters} = 3 units "R" = dit(1) + (1) + dah(3) + (1) + dit(1) = 7 units {Space between letters} = 3 units "I" = dit(1) + (1) + dit(1) = 3 units {Space between letters} = 3 units "S" = dit(1) + (1) + dit(1) + (1) + dit(1) = 5 units {Space between words} = 7 units 11+3+5+3+7+3+3+3+5+7 = 50 units Here is the word PARIS sent at 15 WPM .--. .- .-. .. ... Morsecode.world again does a great job explaining the maths for how many milliseconds long a dit should be for a specific WPM of code ( https://morsecode.world/international/timing/ ) But, no... We could not keep it that simple. Some guy named Donald R. "Russ" Farnsworth had to complicate things and increase the gaps between letters and words to make interpreting code much easier. There are even more maths for Farnsworth timing... Wait a minute. When did I start saying "Maths" instead of "Math" like a normal North American? What is the reasoning around pluralizing "Math" anyways? Which way is more original English, "Math" or "Maths"? This sounds like a show idea for someone other than me. If you know or are interested in researching it, I look forward to listening to your show in the future. ANYWAYS, there IS much more MATH about Farnsworth timing on another page on Morsecode.world. ( https://morsecode.world/international/timing/farnsworth.html ). But I don't want to get into all of it in detail here. Not when there is a shortcut we can use in our code. Simplified, we can take 1,200 and divide it by the WPM we desire, and it will give us a close enough approximation of the number of milliseconds long a dit should be. For the 15 WPM messages you have heard throughout this episode, a dit was 1200/15 = 80 ms in length. If I speed it up to 20 WPM (The speed at which I try to practice) a dit will be 1200/20 = 60 ms long. This will be an important calculation for us as we develop the code we will later be using to construct our messages using the CYD. And this is also a good stopping point so that I can get back to trying to build that infernal GUI. Provide feedback on this episode.

THE MASSACRE AT YELLOW CREEK AND THE POWER VACUUM Colleague Professor Robert G. Parkinson. Following the British withdrawal from Fort Pitt, a power vacuum triggered a border civil war and increased tension with Native peoples. On April 30, 1774, Logan's family—including his mother, brother, and sister—were lured into a tavern at Baker's Bottom on the Ohio River under the guise of diplomacy. While they engaged in a shooting contest, men hiding in a back room, led by Daniel Greathouse, ambushed and murdered them. Although Michael Cresap was blamed, he was thirty miles away at Catfish Camp during the massacre, though he had been leading armed settlers nearby. NUMBER 3

Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com This month in episode 516 we talk about the many things to see in the night sky including, carbon stars, double stars, 24P Schaumasse is a Comet that just cracks 8th magnitude making it visible in binoculars. We also detail how people can explore Jupiter through a telescope followed by many NGC and Messier Objects you can see in the winter sky.   Jan 1 - Struve 627 in Orion Colorful Double Star  Primary Star (A component): Yellow, golden-yellow, pale orange, or sometimes just white. Companion Star (B component): Bluish, blue-green, lilac, or pale green. Jan 2 - 40 Harmonia at opposition a large S-type (silicate) asteroid located in the inner region of the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter.  Discovery: It was discovered on March 31, 1856, by German-French astronomer Hermann Goldschmidt. Naming: It is named after Harmonia, the Greek goddess of harmony and peace, to mark the end of the Crimean War. Size: It has a mean diameter of approximately 111.3 kilometers (69.1 miles), making it larger than 99% of all known asteroids. Orbit: Harmonia orbits the Sun every 3.42 years (approx. 1,250 days) with a relatively low eccentricity of 0.046, meaning its path is nearly circular. Rotation: It completes one full rotation on its axis every 8.91 hours Jan 3 - Full Moon  - Quadrantid Meteors ZHR = 120 in Evening for NA observers - Moon interferes They are named after Quadrans Muralis, a 19th-century constellation that is no longer officially recognized. Constellation Origin: Lalande created the constellation to honor the mural quadrant, a large wall-mounted scientific instrument he and his nephew used at the observatory of l'École Militaire in Paris to measure star positions. Location: It was situated in the northern sky between the modern constellations of Boötes, Draco, and Hercules, near the "handle" of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major). Decline: In 1922, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) omitted Quadrans Muralis when it formalized the official list of 88 modern constellations, reassigning its stars to neighboring constellations Jan 5 - Sig Orionis colorful double star Sigma Orionis AB: This is the brightest component of the system and is a very close binary that appears as one star in most amateur telescopes. It is actually a triple system itself (Aa, Ab, and B). The primary stars (Aa and Ab) are highly massive, very hot blue stars that orbit each other every 143 days. The outer component (B) orbits the inner pair every 157 years. Sigma Orionis C, D, and E: These are additional companion stars that are farther from the AB pair and can be observed with small-to-medium sized telescopes, making the system appear as a beautiful quartet or quintuple system. Component D is magnitude 6.62 and is about 13 arcseconds from the AB pair. Component E is magnitude 6.66 and is approximately 41 arcseconds away. This star is notable as the prototype of the rare "helium-rich" stars.  Jan 6 - Regulus 0.5-degrees South of Moon Jan 8 - 24P Schaumasse Comet just cracks 8th magnitude, at Mag. 7.9 it is firmly a Bino comet Jan 10 - Last Quarter - Jupiter at Opposition - mag. -2.5, 46 arc seconds in Gemini GRS looks nice and Orange/Red NEB and SEB are prominent How to best observe?

Are you chasing every gold star, climbing every ladder, and nailing every "right" mark—only to find yourself missing out on real fulfillment and meaningful connection? The relentless pursuit of achievement can sometimes leave us feeling lonely, disconnected from ourselves, and trapped in relationships that don't truly nourish our hearts. When ambition runs amok, the cost may be far greater than just burnout or missed vacation days—it can lead to self-abandonment and relationships that feel more like a cage than a home. In this episode, you'll discover how overachievement and perfectionism can sabotage our capacity for genuine connection—and what it takes to turn things around. Through honest storytelling and practical insight, the conversation explores the hidden costs of self-abandonment and the steps toward reclaiming self-worth, authenticity, and aligned love. Whether you're feeling the grind of burnout or yearning for more realness in your relationships, you'll gain tools for slowing down, getting honest with yourself, and opening up to relationships that feel like home. Coach Keren Eldad is an Executive Coach, Speaker, podcast host and the Author of the new book: GILDED - Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism and the Relentless Pursuit of More.   Episode Highlights 06:18 The roots of self-abandonment: Overachievement and relationship choices. 09:12 Societal pressure and the pursuit of external validation in partner selection. 10:27 Personal story: From self-betrayal to reconstructing identity and worth. 16:07 Building healthy love: The learning curve toward self-connection in relationships. 20:39 Embracing uncertainty: Letting go of control and playing to win in relationships. 26:56 Yellow flags in relationships: Burnout, overfunctioning, and sexless marriages. 31:29 Radical honesty and initiating difficult conversations. 35:51 Centering yourself before addressing relationship issues. 39:54 Tools, coaching, and the path to authentic relationships.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Pause and self-reflect: Practice taking a mindful pause before reacting in relationships to better understand your true feelings and needs. Identify your patterns: Bring awareness to tendencies like overachieving or people-pleasing that may be impacting your connections. Prioritize self-worth: Work on recognizing and affirming your own worth, rather than relying on external validation or achievement. Start small conversations: When something feels off in your relationship, gently broach the subject with curiosity rather than jumping into confrontation. Read for growth: Incorporate reading transformational books by thought leaders to cultivate self-awareness. Seek support: Consider working with a coach or therapist to dig deeper into your personal growth and relationship patterns. Practice radical honesty: Begin being radically honest with yourself about what you want and how you feel, as self-abandonment only perpetuates dissatisfaction.

Phlegm color shifts give you immediate clues about what's happening in your airways, helping you judge whether irritation, inflammation or infection is building before symptoms intensify Yellow and green tones reflect immune activity, while pink, red, brown or black phlegm signal bleeding, long-standing lung issues or fungal infection, giving you clear markers for when to act quickly Sudden changes from your normal phlegm pattern matter more than the color itself, allowing you to use your personal baseline as a reliable guide for when something is wrong Texture changes — such as thick, sticky or chunky phlegm — often point to uncontrolled airway inflammation, giving you another early sign that your respiratory system is under strain Nebulized hydrogen peroxide, when properly diluted, helps lower viral load in your nasal passages, sinuses and lungs, easing phlegm triggered by viral irritation and helping you recover faster

 THE YELLOW CREEK MASSACRE AND THE TRUE PERPETRATORS Colleague Robert G. Parkinson. This segment details the chaotic environment following the British withdrawal from Fort Pitt, which created a power vacuum and a border war between Pennsylvania and Virginia. Amidst this tension, the Yellow Creek massacre occurred on April 30, 1774, where settlers lured Logan's family—including his mother, brother, and sister—into a tavern and murdered them. Parkinson confirms that Michael Cresap was not present during the slaughter; he had retreated to Catfish Campdays earlier. The actual perpetrators were men like Daniel Greathouse, not the Cresaps, though Logan remained unaware of this. NUMBER 3

What's up Gamers?! On this week's episode of Konsole Kombat, we are pitting two of the most voracious appetites in video game history against one another.

In 2011, John Dyer Baizley put to pen to paper and started working on lyrics for what would be Baroness' 3rd album, Yellow & Green, with drummer Allen Blickle and guitarist Pete Adams. The themes were of addiction and loss and what happens when you live beyond the traumas of your life and decide to keep on going. It's a redemption arc that starts with great loss, and it became oddly prophetic. Of the songs that were written, none were as prophetic as their lead single "Take My Bones Away". In it, he seems to be pleading with an otherworldly power to take away his bones. Then, during their promotional tour for the album tragedy struck, as their tour bus crashed and plummeted 40 feet. While there were no casualties, there were many injuries, including a broken arm and leg on John's left side, likely needing rods and screws to recover. Did an otherworldly entity hear his cry and deliver him a cosmic joke? Who knows... But this is one hell of an album.

This is a mix I originally created back in December of 2006, during my first year of posting mixes online. This one never made its way to Mixcloud so I figured, with all the cold and snow I'm getting in my neck of the woods, now would be a good time to resurrect this set. The original post here on the blog has a bad link to the mp3 so I wanted to post it her as well. It's interesting to see the artists that I was listening to at the time. Such as Freescha, Svalastog, Yellow 6, Klimek, and the track by Clint Mansell from the soundtrack to The Fountain, which I was absolutely obsessed with for a few years. Every tune has one of these words...snow, winter, cold, frozen, ice, or freezing, in the title. Btw, the pic is my mom, taken in the mid 1970s. :-)  Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00 Scott Solter - The Great Cold 04:20 Klimek - Snowfall 1 13:15  Greg Haines - Snow Airport 14:20  Corker & Conboy - Colder 17:20  Clint Mansell - First Snow 18:20  Library Tapes - It was a cold day in February... 20:15  Loren Connors - Falling Snow 24:40  Yellow 6 - (The First) Of Winter 30:00  Svalastog - Snow Tracer 35:20  Taylor Deupree - Snow Sand 39:00  Last Days - Snowing 42:30  Outputmessage - Snow 47:20  Trentemoller - While the cold winter waiting 49:20  Brian Eno - Cold 50:40  Freescha - Frozen Stiff 54:15  Hammock - Winter Light 56:45  Forrest Fang & Carl Weingarten - Freezing Days 60:10  Boc Scadet - Ice Shelves & Glaciers 65:20  Stuart Busby - Snow Fall

London band Sorry have never cared to be defined by labels. Crafting their own unique sound over almost a decade, combining indie rock, industrial sounds, hazy bedroom pop, guitar riffs, poetry and the occasional tongue-in-cheek tune, the band are back with a new album and its as Sorry as it gets. It's also their most cohesive work to date, and we caught up with them backstage at The Garrison before their show in Toronto last week to chat all about it.I spoke with the creative partnership behind Sorry, Asha Lorenz and Louis O'Bryen, about the new album Cosplay, their writing, recording, opening for Fontaines in arenas last year, and Sorry's current tour across North America.Cover art credit: Owen ForbesCFRC Fundraiser events here!

The yellow traffic light is a perfect example of imperfection — with intention. While driving you have to think fast. Do you speed up or stop, whether that means easily or slamming on the brakes? Every driver has their answer and what lies in the middle is a vast perceptual field. A great deal of thought has gone into the engineering of the ambiguous yellow light, as IDEAS producer Seán Foley found out. He had his own encounter with what he was sure was the shortest yellow light in the world. It resulted in a traffic fine, and gave voice to so many questions.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Welcome to part 5 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series. If you are still listening to me ramble about this project, thank you. If you wish to catch up on earlier episodes, you can find them on my HPR profile page https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0394.html To review, My project is to build a portable morse code "Keyer memory" which can be connected to any of my HF transceiver radios by simply plugging it in to the code key input port. Then I could transmit stored messages by simply touching their specific icon on the touch screen. I also want to be able to program each macro individually from the graphical user interface (GUI). To do this, I need to learn how to build a GUI. Most of the CYD resources I have been referencing recommend using Squareline Studio for GUI development on the CYD. Sadly, Squareline Studio is not open source. If any of you have experience with a good, open source alternative to Squareline Studio, please record a show to help the rest of us. Squareline does have a free trial and a free single user / single computer license, which I am using for this project. It will run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. After watching several videos about using the CYD with Squareline, I started to outline the functionality I needed. Squareline provides a wide range of pre-configured boards and interfaces to choose from, in addition to widgets and controls which you can drag onto your screens, and it will automatically generate the supporting code in the background. The initial page needs to have the macro buttons, with labels for the message they will send when pressed. There also needs to be navigation buttons to move from one page to others. Another important page will be the configuration page, where the user can store the contents of each macro and set the speed at which code will be sent. I would like to have a keyboard page where the user can type a custom message and send it. I made a few GUI sketches on post-it-notes, then I installed Squareline Studio on my Ubuntu laptop to start designing. There is a bit of a learning curve. Even with guide videos, I found the user experience to be... challenging. Their own GUI leaves much to be desired. It was not designed to run on the laptop's screen size/resolution. I had to switch to a much higher resolution monitor and rearrange frames within the app itself in order to see many of the controls. Button size adjustments, alignments, and label text did not work quite as expected. Getting things sized and aligned properly took quite a bit of fiddling. The text displayed on a button is a separate object from the button itself, so I have had to put some thought into object naming so that I can write code which will change button labels dynamically. I am including some screenshots from Squareline for the interface I designed. One great feature is that you can define actions and conditions for objects in your project. For example, there are buttons on the left which will navigate to specific screens. I defined actions within Squareline, such that when the specific navigation button is pressed, it will change the button appearance to look like it has been pressed and will then scroll left or right to a specified screen. Actions were also valuable for the Speed (WPM) slider on the Config screen. When this slider is moved left and right, the GUI will change the actual number for WPM to the right of the slider. Next, there is a simulator function which can be used to test how well the GUI works. It took some trial and error, but I was able to build and successfully test, navigational actions and the WPM slider. As I was working on building the afore mentioned WPM slider, and thinking about the default words per minute of Morse to use, my ADHD interrupted me (As usual). I decided to change the default speed that I use for the Arduino Nano based Morse code practice keyer which I keep on my desk. You can learn more about this keyer in episode 3 of this series. And we will also discuss Morse code speed in a future episode in this series. The original code (As found on https://github.com/jmharvey1/ArduinoCPO ) specified 12 words per minute (WPM) as the default speed, with buttons to increase or decrease this. However, I am practicing at 20 WPM. Every time I turn on the practice set, I need to turn up the speed and guess when I am close to 20. I went ahead and opened the PracticeOscilator project in Arduino IDE and updated the wpm variable to a value of 20. No, you will not see this change reflected in my own GitHub repo because: A) I wanted to test it locally first B) 20 WPM may be a little fast for a default C) I do not use git the way that it is meant to be used, or the way I SHOULD be using it, with pull requests and all. Bad Trey. D) I was distracted ANYWAY, the reason I bring this up is that it is the first time I have used the Arduino IDE to program a board with this system since I upgraded from Ubunto 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04. Try as I might, I was not able to get the Arduino Nano's USB port to be recognized in Linux so that I could upload the updated keyer code. I spent several days troubleshooting, using other Arduino devices, different USB ports, and different cables, all to no avail. If anyone has any recommendations, I am open to suggestions. So, I dug out my son's old Windows 10 PC and started again. I had to install the Arduino IDE, load all the necessary libraries, and my code from Github (Which I had to manually change once again, because I don't fully get git). Finally I was able to update the Arduino Nano with its new code, and it works perfectly. But this revealed the same problem for the CYD. I also could not get it to connect over USB to my Ubuntu system. Time to migrate the entire project to Windows. My next step was to install Squareline Studio on Windows. Here, I ran into another snag, as my trial license was only for one system, so I had to uninstall Squareline from Linux before I could activate the license on Windows. Did I mention that I would love to find an open source, free software product to use instead? If you know of one, please ping me or post a comment. I wasted more time trying to get the GUI project I had written on the Linux machine imported into Squareline on Windows, all the while thinking of improvements I could make if I started again from scratch. It would not load, and would not load. In the end, I started all over again. After much blood sweat and tears, my GUI code was working again, and this time in Windows. I was able to run it in the simulation mode and move from page to page successfully and also use the WPM slider. I exported the UI from Squareline, and I loaded the code it generated into a new project within Arduino IE. Now was the moment of truth. I followed instructions found on the Pang YouTube channel video [ESP32 + LVGL] Configuration input device rotary encoder ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGM6gu9OpbA ). I connected the CYD and uploaded the code. SUCCESS!! You can see my "Send" screen loaded perfectly! Now to try other screens. Wait. Drat. It does not seem like my navigation buttons work. Actually, it does not appear that the touch screen is responding at all. I spent the next several days trying to figure out what went wrong. I checked and double checked interrupt and configuration settings (Such as those described in another of Pang's videos, [CYD + LVGL] Configuration Cheap Yellow Display | Easy Guide ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmR-mjJVumU ). Nothing worked. I came to realize that I bit off more than I could chew, and I should NOT have started with such an ambitious project. Instead I should have started with a simple equivalence of "Hello World", where I could build and test simple functionality to make sure I knew exactly what I was doing, then expand on it. Lessons learned, and a good stopping point for this episode. I am open to your feedback on what you would recommend, what I should do differently, etc. You can post simple feedback as a comment or send me an email using the address in my HPR profile. As usual, if your feedback is more than a sentence or two, you might want to record it as an episode so that other listeners can benefit from it as well. Time for an espresso. Maybe I will make it a double. Or even a triple! Provide feedback on this episode.

Have you heard of the "Purple Yellow Purple" detailing method? David Elliott from Pearl Nano and the Calling All Detailers Podcast shares a unique, three-step technique that many mobile detailers use to achieve an amazing shine and even fill in light micro-scratches on a vehicle's paint. The "Purple Yellow Purple" Process: Purple (Speed Coat): Start by cleaning the car with Speed Coat Ceramic Waterless Car Wash, which dissolves dirt on contact and leaves a nice initial shine. Yellow (Max Wax): Apply Max Wax Carnauba Spray Wax. This product contains micro-scratch fillers that help level the surface, giving the paint a much smoother and deeper appearance. Purple (Speed Coat): Finish the process by going over the car one more time with Speed Coat. This final layer locks in the filled scratches and boosts the ceramic finish, resulting in a look so good that customers might think you polished the car. This method is perfect for refreshing cars with feather scratches and maximizing the shine for your clients.

Yellow-eyed Juncos sometimes make a migration of sorts — not from north to south, but from the high mountains to the lowlands or the other way around. It's called altitudinal migration. In the warm summer months, some Yellow-eyed Juncos prefer to nest at higher elevations. In winter, however, the scarcity of food pushes them back down to the valleys.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee, founder of The Savvy Groomer, and if you're new here — this show is where we talk about the real stuff behind running a grooming business. The money, the mindset, the boundaries — and all the messy middle that comes with it. And listen… we're hitting that time of year again. The holidays. When every human being on Earth seems to lose their mind just a little bit. Clients are calling last minute. Everyone suddenly “forgot” that Christmas comes the same day every year. People are cranky, tired, stressed — including you. But here's the truth, my friend: This isn't just about the holidays. This is the highlight reel of who people really are under pressure. So today, we're going to talk about recognizing when enough is enough. Today's episode is “Enough Is Enough: Knowing When to Fire, Freeze, or Fix” I'm going to help you decide how to tell when someone — a client, an employee, even a coworker — has crossed the line from stressful… to unacceptable. And even better — how to stop guessing, and start collecting data so that come January, you're making clear, confident decisions instead of emotional, exhausted ones. Alright — deep breath. Grab your notebook, grab your coffee, and let's get into it. Okay, let's start here — I know everyone's cranky right now. Clients, staff, even your delivery driver who's running three hours late. It's chaos. You're running on caffeine and adrenaline, praying the power doesn't go out mid-bath. But I want you to remember something that's going to change how you see this whole season: Stress doesn't create bad people — it reveals them. This time of year, people show their true colors. And if you pay attention, this month will tell you everything you need to know about who you want in your business next year. Some folks? When things get hard, they get generous. They bring cookies. They show up on time because they know you're slammed. They even tip a little extra because they see your effort. Those are your green flag people — your soulmate clients, your team players, your keepers. But then there's the other kind. The ones who, the moment life doesn't go perfectly their way, start acting like the world owes them special treatment. They nitpick. They guilt-trip. They send those “just checking in” messages that really mean “Why aren't you prioritizing me over everyone else?” And here's the kicker — they've probably been like that all year. You just haven't had the bandwidth to notice. Because when you're busy and stressed, the little things that used to be “no big deal” start to sting. That tone in their voice. That sarcastic comment. That coworker who “just has a bad attitude.” Let's be honest — some of those relationships were fine when everything was easy. But now? You're starting to see what's underneath. That's the gift of December. Everyone's mask slips a little. And instead of judging them — or yourself — I want you to use that as data. Now, data doesn't sound sexy, right? But data is power. Data is how you stop running your business based on emotion and start running it like the CEO you are. So this month, I want you to become a quiet observer. Think of yourself as a scientist in your own business. You're not jumping to conclusions; you're collecting information. Who apologizes when they mess up? Who gets defensive when you set a boundary? Who handles pressure with grace versus those who melt down or lash out? If a client shows up late once, okay. Life happens. But if they're late three times, complain about the price increase, and then act like they're doing you a favor by showing up at all — Girl, that's not a client, that's a walking red flag wrapped in tinsel. Same goes for your team. If your bather forgets to restock shampoo once, that's an oops. If it happens every week — and they roll their eyes when you bring it up — that's a pattern. And patterns don't lie. Here's another thing to watch for: how people treat you when you say no. It's easy for someone to be “nice” when you're saying yes. But tell them no — tell them you can't squeeze them in, or that there's a late fee, or that you're closed on Christmas Eve — and see what happens. Do they respect you? Or do they try to make you feel guilty? That reaction tells you everything. Because respectful clients don't make you defend your boundaries. They might be disappointed, but they get it. They'll say, “Oh, no worries! I'll book earlier next time.” And then there's the other kind… “You can't just make an exception for me?” “Wow, I thought you valued my business.” That's manipulation, not loyalty. And listen — I'm not saying cut everyone off the moment they frustrate you. This isn't about being reactive. It's about being aware. You can't manage what you don't measure. You can't fix what you won't admit is broken. So instead of venting to your friends or spiraling in your head, start writing it down. Seriously. Grab a sticky note, a notebook, or your phone — whatever works. When something happens, jot down what it was and how it made you feel. You're not keeping score; you're building clarity. Because by the time January rolls around, you're going to look at that list and see patterns that were invisible before. And that's when you'll realize — oh. This isn't “holiday stress.” This is who they really are when they think I'll tolerate it. You know how people say “the way someone talks to waitstaff tells you who they are”? Well, the way your clients act during December tells you who they'll be for the rest of the year. So let this month be your audition tape. Who gets cast for Season 2026 of your business, and who's getting written out of the script? Because if you want peace, profit, and better clients next year — this is where it starts. Not by burning bridges, but by seeing clearly. Collect the data now. Your future self will thank you. Alright, so now that you're collecting data — let's talk about how to actually use it. I want to introduce you to a little system I swear every groomer needs tattooed on their forearm: The Three-Strikes Rule. This is my go-to for when you're not sure if something is “worth firing someone over,” or if you're just tired and overreacting. It gives you structure. It gives you emotional distance. It gives you permission to stop second-guessing yourself. Because if you're anything like me — you've probably spent hours wondering: “Am I being too sensitive?” “Am I overreacting?” “Maybe they didn't mean it that way.” Girl… no. You're not crazy — you're just conditioned to tolerate chaos. So here's how this rule works. Strike One: Mistake. They forgot to confirm their appointment. They showed up late once. Your new bather mixed up shampoo bottles. It happens. People are human. Life gets messy — traffic, sick kids, alarm didn't go off, whatever. The first strike is your grace period. You give them the benefit of the doubt — but you still document it. Because one strike doesn't make someone a villain, but it does give you context later. Think of it like dating — the first time someone forgets to text you back, you don't end it, but you notice. You file it away. If it never happens again, great! They had a bad day. But if it does… you're ready for Strike Two. Strike Two: Pattern. Now this is where most groomers get stuck. You've addressed it once, maybe even twice. You've reminded them. You've set expectations. And then — they do it again. At this point, it's not a mistake anymore — it's a behavior. And behaviors are choices. When someone keeps crossing your boundaries after you've communicated clearly, they're not confused. They're testing you. You see this all the time: That client who no-shows twice and says, “Oh my gosh, I just forgot again, can you squeeze me in?” Or that bather who “accidentally” clocks out early every Friday. They know exactly what they're doing. They're seeing if you mean what you say. And listen — this is where your people-pleaser brain tries to negotiate. “Well, they're going through a lot…” “It's the holidays…” “I don't want to be mean.” I get it. But this is where your boundaries either build your business — or break it. Because if you keep excusing behavior, you're teaching them how to treat you. And when you allow something twice, you've just turned it into an expectation. Strike Three: Choice. By this point, they've had two opportunities to do better. You've been clear, you've been kind, and you've given them the roadmap. So if they do it again — that's not an accident. That's a decision. And when someone is actively choosing to disrespect your policies, your time, or your team — That's not a miscommunication. That's a mismatch. You don't need to explode. You don't need to have a meltdown. You don't even need to justify it. You just need to make a note: “This person has shown me who they are.” And when someone shows you who they are — believe them. I can hear some of you already — “But River, it's Christmas! Everyone's stressed! Don't I owe them a little grace?” Yeah, sure. Grace once. Maybe even twice. But if someone only acts like a decent human when life's convenient for them? That's not a soulmate client. That's a seasonal one. And you, my friend, are not building a business founded on people who can't be relied upon. This Three-Strikes Rule isn't about being harsh. It's about being methodical. It's a way to protect your peace and your profit without letting guilt run your business. Because grooming is already hard enough. You've got hair in your bra, your feet are killing you, and you're trying to eat lunch over the dryer. You don't need the same people stealing your joy three times in a row. Here's how to make this practical. Create a simple list — literally, pen and paper, or your phone notes app. Put three columns: Client/Employee Name, Strikes, Notes. Each time someone crosses a boundary or creates unnecessary stress, jot it down. For example: “Mrs. Brown — Late again, blamed traffic. Second reminder sent.” “Tom (Bather) — Forgot to sweep again after close. Talked to him Friday.” “Mrs. Lopez — Texted angrily about matting fee, refused to prebook.” You're not judging, you're documenting. This is your receipts file. Because when January hits and you're calmer, you can look at that list and make clear decisions: Who's improving? Who's still testing you? Who's gotta go? That's how you make data-driven decisions — not emotional ones. And when you do? You'll notice something magical happens: You stop feeling guilty for holding boundaries, and start feeling confident about who you give your time to. Because you're not just “firing a client.” You're curating your peace. You're creating a safer, saner work environment. Let me put it this way — every minute you spend re-explaining your rules to someone who doesn't care is a minute stolen from the clients and staff who actually do care. The Three-Strikes Rule helps you stop chasing the wrong people so you can start nurturing the right ones. And if you're worried about hurting feelings? Remember — accountability isn't cruelty. It's clarity. You're not punishing anyone. You're simply refusing to participate in patterns that burn you out. So, take a second and think about it. Who in your business might already be sitting on Strike Two? Who keeps “forgetting” or “not realizing” or “just assuming”? This week, don't react — record. Because the more you track, the more empowered you'll feel to make decisions based on truth instead of fatigue. Alright, my friend — take a deep breath. This season will test you, no doubt. But remember: the chaos isn't here to destroy you. It's here to reveal you. You've worked too hard to build a business that makes you miserable. You deserve peace. You deserve profit. You deserve respect. So this week, grab your client list. Go through it with a highlighter — green, yellow, red. Green for “soulmates.” Yellow for “needs a boundary.” Red for “it's time to go.” Start collecting your data now, because come January, you're going to make moves — not excuses. And when you do? You'll be stepping into the next season of your business as the boss you were always meant to be. Until next time, stay savvy, stay greedy — and never apologize for wanting more.
