It’s been so wonderful having you all here!!
But now I want my house back, please.

Forgiving you does not mean letting go. It means I am unhooking you so that you no longer bring me down.

I want to take a walk but there is this low pressure thing in the PNW.

Me (looking at a bin full of pie pumpkins at Costco): “Oh look! Pie pumpkins!”
Mr. (before I can even finish the phrase) : “We don’t want them!”
Guess who is into pumpkin everything in my house?!

There needs to be a better word than “pedestrian” for someone who wanders onto an interstate or highway and stands in the middle of a lane. Lots of “pedestrians” killed around here.

CVS Caremark, you are full of bull. When we were still paying 100% of our medicine costs because we hadn’t hit our deductible, H’s prescription cost $47. After we hit our deductible, our 20% is $37. I called to make sure we are just being charged 20% of the negotiated rate, which your rep confirmed. So let me see … the negotiated rate is $47 when the subscriber pays 100%, but it magically jumps to $185 when the subscriber hits their deductible? I call b.s. Health care is quite the racket.

Comment on one of my YouTube videos - “Looks fake!”
Yeah, sure, genius. I have over 170 instrumental videos. But, this one is FAKE!

20% raise, congrats! If anyone deserved it, it’s you. I really hope you can manufacture a better work/life balance now. I know you’ve been on edge for a long time wondering/hoping for this to happen. The job is yours. The money is great. Now RELAX!

Lord, help me to become the person that my dog thinks I am.

So happy x2! My wife’s mother finally had her US Immigration interview this morning and she sent us the “Congratulations” letter with the word that sums it all up, “Done!”. The process to legally immigrate is painfully slow and expensive. It has taken 2 full years just to reach the interview stage, but she is in fact done!
She will receive her US Visa within the next two weeks and we ‘think’ that documentation will tell her she must arrive in the U.S. within 6 months from today.
Unlike my wife, who had to be married within 3 months of arrival and then go through a number of hoops to receive her Green Card after 5 years, her mother will receive her Green Card upon arrival in the States!

Holy crap, is it easy to get a job now. Holy crap. Never seen anything like it in my life. Cancelling a meeting with a dean to go have an interview for a job at 4x my current salary. And I’m fussy. Brain-drain states, if you thought you were in trouble before, look out.

Glad your priorities bear no relationship what’s occurring in real life. SMH.

I told you so, America (but I didn’t have a platform, so no one but my H heard me). Outsourcing pretty much all of our manufacturing to other countries was a huge mistake. The chickens are coming home to roost.

It’s 2021. Has no one at this school been keeping track of the news and what might be right/wrong/accepted between students and staff before approving and/or participating in this? I totally get wanting to have fun Homecoming week, but this is how you choose to do it? Open your eyes - and brains.

Sometimes I wonder if you ever think before you post. I wish I wasn’t so nice. Someone really needs to point out to you that not everyone has parents who can pay their mortgage for them. Yes, I understand that it was “only” for a few years, and the amount they paid reduces your share of the will. But you have parents who bailed you out & kept you in your house. Yet you think it’s okay to disparage people who can’t seem to make headway in their lives. There but for the grace of God go you.

My DD is a senior preparing college apps.
An athlete just got recruited by the college DD is going to apply RD.
Too many athletes with lower academic record were recruited by elite colleges from this affluent, competitive high school. Feeling bad for those students who worked so hard.

Now that I’m really looking for jobs, I’m floored by how many good jobs are out there. I don’t have time to apply for all the interesting jobs that turn up. And that’s just remote. If I were willing to move, it’d be a totally overwhelming landscape.
100% serious, brain-drain states: you in trouble now. I mean I don’t expect you to care what that’ll mean – you’re content to actually physically die to hang onto your favorite stupidities. No reason why you’d care about anything as abstract or long-term as a state. But man. It does make me think that even if I’m sticking around here, I ought to be looking at some real estate elsewhere, given the likelihood that someday I’ll want to get out, and it’d be nice if I didn’t have to impoverish myself to do it.
