And my dad's answer to objections about the work continuing on the ballroom through the shut down is, "but it's privately funded!" Dude...is it gonna have a name like "The Facebook Ballroom" to advertise for the funders? Like a stadium? Ugh.

Hang in there! I had an Aussie who started having seizures when she was about 2 years old. Started her on anticonvulsants and she lived a fine, long life without further issues related to her epilepsy. She was the bestest pup.

I have said that for years, often on a more local level though. I keep dreaming of moving some place more blue, but for now, my blue vote in a red town and state will have to do.

I did just that a week ago. Not sure what to do now though. I don't want to work for another shitty manager or big corporation.

It's done. I was shaking the whole time. No fanfare, just 'i quit.' 'Effective immediately." Handed my letter, and walked out. Oh, but the things I wanted to say....

I have an "ick" meter about pedos....trump has made it go off since I was a teenager and first became aware of him. I don't need any other evidence, truthfully, but it's all there to see anyhow.

Mine loved theirs so hard, I had to make a new hammock for it! Here is O.P. enjoying the newly refurbished hammock.

Same. My kids have both moved West and I am glad for it. I would love to follow.

So glad my kids are grown. There are so many issues with this letter and the laws referenced.

I made a denim quilt years ago...my first quilt adventure (ok, my only quilt adventure, so far...) I had added buttons to the corners of the quilt squares for fun. Over the years, and a number of different cats, they have made a game of popping the buttons off! Cats and quilts....

This was my thought as well.

Yes! After starting anticonvulsants, and being unable to drive due to seizures, I had to walk my son to and from school in hot FL. I had to take 30 minute COLD showers when I got home just to stop feeling overheated! Stay safe everyone!

I thought "dictators ship" made sense, even if it was missing an apostrophe!

What do you mean "start"? Prices haven't changed much in the store I work in and people complain all the time already. "I remember when a cup of coffee cost..."

Not listed: being called a hypochondriac bc you research the side effects of withdrawal from meds, because no pharmacy in the area can get one of the meds in right now.

After years of being stable, I am afraid this Is going to cause a downturn in my mental health. So...yeah, I researched.

To my knowledge, I have never had it. I have had coughs and upper respiratory infections, but have always tested negative. I dunno how, since I have worked in public-facing retail jobs in FL for all of it. A lot of customers chose not to mask at the height...and some were offended that I masked.

I would love to know the name and/or location of the flea market! We love to visit flea markets, thrift stores, antique stores and such.

One of my favorite used bookstores! The shop cats are always up for pets!

Same.
