As an American, i support this plan.

Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls!

You must work where i work, in public education. Too many administrators without enough to do, who just keep stirring the pot and then scheduling meetings about the shitstorm they created.

Barry Manilow- Looks like we made it.

Hoping my son ends his break with us.

Making a decision about retirement and hopefully not regretting it.

I went to Cuba. We got donations of helmets, cleats, bats, etc. from a baseball academy here to give to a school. A couple of vets donated food and meds that we took to an animal shelter. We talked to a lot of interesting people and it was a really fun trip!

One of my kitties prefers a pad. I put a pad in a box and i just change it every night. It’s better than the floor or my bed.

I have a couple of friends who go to one of the UU churches in Dallas. I think maybe Roe came from it.

My son is a mechanic so it’s often chilly at work. He uses those rechargeable hand warmers in his shirt pockets.

Question for people who live in colder climates - why is it always so hot indoors? When I’ve been in new York, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc. in the winter it’s miserable inside. It’s 12 degrees outside and you step into a restaurant or shop where it feels like it’s 80 degrees. You’re immediately sweating because you have a jacket, gloves, etc. and you have to find someplace to put them.

Was good. I was working in a new field, learning good stuff, and beginning to get my finances cleaned up after 2 years in school.

Know anything about squid? I was wondering if they ever got a diagnosis.

So the good jam and flavored dates will be twice as expensive. Great …

Stock up now. There are places you can buy it by saying you may need it in the future. I think the expiration date is usually 4 years out.

We did wills and trusts for our moms before they passed (i fucked up my mom’s trust and had to probate) but we haven’t done our own yet. That’s our January plan.

One stops by frequently and calls or texts daily (I’m home, Love you guys, cat photos, …). The other hasn’t spoken to us since July. This made me realize that we need to choose an executor that’s outside the family.

I initially felt that way. Then I read that others were allowed to provide a written testimony and they were asking to do the same. Were they ordered to appear in person so Fox could show the video of them over and over? Probably.

I’m sorry.

TIL.

Thanks for sharing. Super interesting.

A topic comes up and I remember that I have a bookmark about that topic and that’s usually the only way I get back to it.

Occasionally I block off time, like 15 minutes, where I scroll through and delete the ones that I no longer care about. Kind of the same thing I do with emails and photos.
