And The 2K is gone pretty quick purely from adding the baby to your insurance. Boo.

Yes! I can see yours as well shares that weird tone. I understand why there’s an argument, while still fully believing the couch is obviously brown.

This is the couch up against our old mantle with painted brown bricks (we didn’t do that, we were renting)

We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled “slate” when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my “this is the brown couch” position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.

For years it was 30 Rock. Them Bob’s Burgers (good, but the songs are always louder than the show) and now back to 30 Rock

I mean that’s tough. Unless you have an unemployed family member who can take on the care, and even then it has to be a physically strong and frankly mentally strong person to do the kind of care elderly folks require. It’s just not feasible for most families.

My grandmother is physically disabled and has dimentia. Some weeks are hell taking care of her, and she’s one of the gentlest people with dimentia I have ever met. ( I used to work in a memory care facility, which is a big reason she’s at home with us)

They actually already have a thing that basically turns the people on camera to stick figures. You can turn it off if you need to, but a quick check can see that they’re up and moving around vs fallen down without invading their privacy too much at least

Yeah, she “begrudgingly” voted for Trump, just like the people you’re talking about. My parents on the other hand, lifelong Republicans, voted Harris. Sure “not all Republicans” but it is all the ones who voted for Trump. There’s no excuse for them to have voted for him the second time. I am sympathetic to Republicans who held their nose and voted red the first time, but it’s a different party now.

All Republicans. My idiot sister. She’s like “I watched it” as if that’s proof it wasn’t? If the white superiority groups are applauding your actions, you’re in the wrong. That quieted her down but it didn’t change her mind. She thinks we’re all over reacting.

Regular boiling is pretty good! The micrplastics end up sticking to the calcium deposits left behind. Never been so happy for that stupid white buildup in my kettle!

“As reported in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters, boiling and filtering calcium-containing tap water could help remove nearly 90% of the nano- and microplastics present.”

I think that’s pretty standard for public speaking. I’ve been printing stuff that large since highschool with decent eyesight. You just print as large as you can while keeping it all on one sheet

The craziest thing about this is that you’re boss doesn’t text you anything else all day?? Is all other communication over email? I mean I assume a lot of it is face to face but they never message you while they’re in a meeting?

I have no idea if you’re a man or a woman, but I’m guessing based on your comment, you’re a man? You’re talking about those hooks/ indents like halfway between the hook and the end of the hanger? I think those are a lot more useful on women’s clothes, which tend to have much wider necks which means they just slip right off hangers. The hooks help wide neck blouses and jackets stay on the hangers, and they’re especially useful for tank top or spaghetti strap type tops and dresses.

I hear you but after my husband was laid off (along with thousands in his field in our area) he looked for months and months for a new job. Unfortunately so did the other thousands, so sometimes even with 6 or 8 interviews he wouldn’t get the job. One place ghosted him after THEY made an offer.

He’s an apprentice now in a trade. These two years are really tight with money, but we wish he had started up in the trade immediately instead of wasting all that time looking. We’d be surviving better on this low pay if we hadn’t had so many months of zero pay for him.

I agree that the adults here are the most responsible, but I hope those kids understand the gravity of what they’ve done.

“It [the bullying] had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified.”

What the literal fuck. The bullies said the bullying wouldn’t ease up until her family got deported. She was meeting with the school counselor several times a week and the school didn’t separate the bullies out? They didn’t notify the parents? I hope people are held personally liable. Your beloved little girl taking her own life is an unimaginable tragedy.

The president is setting such a shameful example.

Obviously we need to support everyone and ableism is bad, but I wouldn’t want to get drafted which is basically a death sentence and then a guy who gets bring from A to B mixed up with bring from B to A is beside me with a loaded gun. I definitely wouldn’t want him behind me with that gun. To say that’s elitist is intentionally naive.

That’s like saying you’re the authority on what an acid trip feels like because you watched someone take one. Also step parents and adoptive parents love their kids without “having” them
