What has this got to do with my parents ( who are both dead ) ?

It was a bad joke.
The idea was that if you've been working "with" people rather than "for" people for 40 years is that, all along, your employer must've been mom and dad.

Succinctly put. I switched for working "for" someone to "with" someone when I went freelance. I felt far more in partnership with my clients, and more invested in their businesses, than I ever did as an employee. I got the feeling though that my approach was not what most were used to when working with freelancers...
Also at no point in my career would I ever have even hinted that I'd used SO or any online equivalent. If I didn't know how to do something (which happened quite often) I'd acknowledge it, then use the manuals to find the answer. (And if it was something that my client could reasonably have expected me to know, I wouldn't charge for that time, either. Employers expect to pay for training, clients don't.)

Pretty much mirrors my approach Derek - I was only ever directly employed by a software house once - I lasted a month and hated it - the rest of my time I was freelance using my limited company as a a payment vehicle.

I did think of the word at my final guess, but choose another more common word.

Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

MSN Crushed Eggshells Are The Secret To Better Cups Of Coffee[^] Have not yet attempted but looking forward to.
"Much becomes obvious in hindsight, ... Yet it is striking how in both physics and mathematics there is a lack of Βproportion between the effort needed to understand something for the first time and the simplicity and naturalness of the solution once all the required stages have been completed." - Giorgio Parisi, recipient of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics

Crushed eggshells are almost pure calcium carbonate, which one can get in most pharmacies. I'd rather add that to my coffee than something that has been in direct contact with a chicken's cloaca. 
(The inside of the egg hasn't been in direct contact, which is why I eat the inside of eggs.)

But do you have sausage with your eggs?

Those who like sausage and respect the Law should watch neither being made.

Thank you for the information however I am not certain CaCO2 powder can easily be filtered out as I have enough difficulty w/ so called "stalling".

That sounds about as appetising as using glue to keep the cheese on your pizza.

I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.
They do taste kinda funny,
But it keeps them on the knife!

I attempted it today. The brew seemed somewhat smoother than usual. Maybe I should try it on pizza too to take the edge off the glue.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing pizza[^].
