C-jazz fan, paragon of mediocrity. Posting in support of the greater registered community and reform of SO registration laws. Opinions my own.
Had a reasonably good day, got a free hamburger, moved some securities that needed moving, went grocery shopping, cleaned the cat boxes and brought in the recycling toters the waste company finally emptied after 2 phone calls.
But nothing is free. Fought with the SO, and going to bed unresolved. 🤷♂️

The three ages of refrigerator management -
1 - There is nothing in this refrigerator and I don't get paid until Friday;
2 - We are running out of food and need to go shopping but we're too busy;
3 - wth. This expired last May. We really need to clean out the refrigerator.

On the Sunday of a holiday week I have received an email indicating that I've 90 days to move my investment assets out of the brokerage of my previous employer or they'll be liquidated. That brokerage requires a single piece of information I don't have - an email address for the receiving dept. 1/4

I love it when rank and file employees in the retail space are completely disempowered to do anything without management hand holding.
Makes it truly convenient for the customer and does wonderful things for the brand. 🖕😑

I am confused by vegan wine.
That means there are no animal byproducts in the wine. 🤔
Am I correct in that?
...
Because, you know,
I wasn't aware of any wine that contains animal byproducts. 🤨

I have no interest in roleplay as a canine.
I have no interest in the posts of people who enjoy such roleplay.
I do not have a zoo kink.
I would like to stop seeing the posts of people who do.
Unfortunately, blocking *terms* means never seeing 🐶 posts ever again,
which is unacceptable.

I have a terrible memory and am easily distracted,
which is how my house hoodie (Fred Rogers, eat your heart out), which belongs at the back door, ends up hanging in the en suite, and how my slippers, which belong in the en suite, end up bedside.
So simple. And yet,
no.

Open a can of tuna in water and pour the liquid into a bowl.
Fill the rest of the bowl with water.
Not a lot of tuna flakes for the princess but tuna soup still smells tasty.
Works for my boy when he won't drink.
This is a bummer - good luck. ✌️
