Go Godaddy.
I hate the Pac 12 network.
I cannot stand concrete thinkers who I work with.
Iâm irked that I bought gifts snd sent them out but vendor hasnât noted that the gifts are from us so recipients are mystified.
Sent it to over 16 different people!
For the love of Pete people, we are in the airport. Wear your GD mask.
Sister and her husband, unvaccinated, BIL says he canât wear a mask for more than a half hour (canât breathe, allegedly) are going where on vacation? FRICKIN FLORIDA!!! Why, why, why? And how is BIL going to wear his mask while in the terminal (granted, I hear thatâs not enforced), and on the plane, where the attendants certainly do enforce mask wearing. I hope I donât end up reading about another in-air âincidentâ.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???
My other sibling and I made an executive decision that we would celebrate our momâs birthday BEFORE their trip, not after they return charged up with COVID.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
My friendâs 40 year old son has struggled with a heroin addiction for the last 20 years. Unfortunately, the addiction won today. He leaves behind a wife & kids in addition to his mom/siblings. My heart is breaking for them.
I may have posted this last spring when I last cleaned up my motherâs email inbox, but it bothered me enough to do it again today; hours I will never get back. How a 90 year old can subscribed to so many mailing lists and not open 75% of the mail boggles me. I have tried to unsubscribe her from some, or at least change the frequency of emails; does one need twice daily notices from the same store? She is subscribed to no less than 15 different cooking sites, some that send emails at the very least once a day. Mom doesnât want me to delete any of those emails as she might make one of the recipes one day from an email that arrived 5 years ago! While mom was an excellent cook, she hasnât made but a handful of the recipes she has received.
Today I have so far deleted almost 1000 of the 7000 emails in her inbox; last May I had it down to under 1000 Unsubscribed from all political emails from over 5 different groups. And she wonders why she didnât see the email from her brokerage account, or the evite to a party. If only she would delete the emails she didnât want, it wouldnât grow daily.
I think my SIL is finally getting vaccinated in two weeks! She will see her doctor, and if he agrees itâs OK (he will!) then sheâs finally doing it. She has had some health issues that make me understand her hesitance, but seeing friends get very sick (unvaxxed) and others catch it who are vaxxed, sheâs ready. The good news is that she keeps her butt at home so less likely to catch it or spread it, but her vaxxed dh is out doing all the chores and living his life, and I think sheâs worried heâll bring it home.
I canât wait to be at my own place and in my own bed tomorrow. Donât want to hear from anyone tomorrow.
The glow-in-the-dark firefly masks I made for my nieceâs second grade class arrived at her house today. Niece was just dxâd with Covid. Gotta love the Georgia school system that has everyone eating together in the cafeteria, large class sizes, no online option and required work with small groups. Her kids have been dropping like flies đ„Č for the past month.
Sheâs such a good teacher and loves the kids, but is so fed up and discouraged sheâs not sure she wants to stick around, as so much of her frustration is institutional.
Part 2: Now I see your new Jeep with the spare tire cover that proclaims âWe Are Blessedâ. I guess that makes it official----youâre drinking the right wing evangelical Kool Aid. I guess using your brain is now off the table.
You spend the day with your grandson, who now may have COVID, and you are not vaccinated. We all decided in a nanosecond that you should not attend momâs party. Be angry, I donât care, you brought this upon yourself.
Part of this morningâs breakfast conversation:
H: The sausage you had was X.
FIL: Itâs a good sausage! The one I buy isnât good at all. It probably has too much chicken or filler in it. It only cost me $1.89 for a while, but itâs gone up to $2.19, so at that price, I can eat it.
The version he likes that we bought cost $3.99. Heâs saving all of $1.80 spread out over 8 breakfasts if he eats all it himself.
When he passes away I expect there will be estate taxes on his estate and I know first hand that he has plenty on hand, so money isnât the issue. Itâs a mindset. Heâll do the same with coffee to save 10cents and more.
So⊠my say it here⊠FIL, itâs pocket change for you. Buy what you LIKE! Youâve saved plenty for retirement. Well done! But now at 93, youâve reached the age where you can feel guilt free using it. Please do. It will make both H and I feel much better to see you enjoying your own money.
In the meantime, weâll continue to buy/bring more than we plan on using and leave the extra because we either âforgot itâ or itâs âtoo hard to take home.â You might as well eat it.
I start every week thinking âthis is the week it will finally endâ. So far, noâŠ
SMH - it seems absolutely no one is taking this Delta variant seriously in GA or AL. Skipped the football game and watched it on TV because it appears people are âover itâ and âwill itâ to not be a problem - not social distancing, not masking, and just going back to life as usual. Unfortunately, it is not âoverâ at all and I fear all these crowded football venues will create a huge spike in spreading sickness. This behavior again will delay getting back to normal life.
Oh! The feeling when you paid full price of admission and later found Groupon for 40% off
There is a Shingrix vaccine commercial that has someone saying, âI take good care of myselfâ. Voice over: SHINGLES DOESNâT CARE. âI exercise regularly and watch what I eatâ. Voice over: SHINGLES DOESNâT CARE", etc., etc.
I want to see a similar commercial for COVID: âI feel my immune system is healthyâ. COVID DOESNâT CARE. âI have a right to not be vaccinated.â COVID DOESNâT CARE.
Excuses, excuses, excuses. COVID DOESNâT GIVE A DAMN about your rights, excuses, etc.
Less than 2 weeks to go. Please let this all go off without a hitch and with everyone staying healthy.
Iâm so happy for my middle son - everything worked out and he is on his way to France, where he will join his fiancee at a university in Caen. They had almost overwhelming obstacles to overcome, and they did it. Iâm really proud of both of them.
Havenât been on because my computer died - what a horror - trying to get somebody to recover the data for me - UGH
