I need to stop looking at the stock market.

Well, you mailed me an invoice for reimbursement even though you live directly across the street from us. I guess I will mail you a check back. This neighborhood is so weird.

Some sales are so fake. 20% off, but 30% more than competitors. Won’t be taking advantage of that sale, thanks.

I found the nicest cat pendent on Etsy today. I hope my two cats will appreciate it.

My SIL has family living in Beirut. If you follow the news, things are really tense there right now. I asked if his family is worried, since they can’t really leave. He said that his cousin had a huge engagement party last night. SIL said that they are just kind of used to war, having previously lived in Iraq. I can’t even imagine.

Yes, I know that I provided most of that schedule information previously. There was no reason to be rude. I did it again, with the updates, because your husband either can’t or won’t read texts and emails, and he has a memory like a sieve. It’s also clear that the two of you don’t communicate. Just yesterday, he asked me a question that you and I had talked about and that I’d already answered in three earlier texts to you both.

Huh, and now I’ve discovered irregularities in the books that you kept as treasurer. Since you accused me of “age discrimination” against you just because I’m using a different version of QuickBooks than you recommended, I can’t imagine how you will react when I inform the Association about this. And I have to talk to a CPA to see if the Association has any liability due to your “creativity.” The Catch-22 is that if the CPA agrees there could be an issue and needs to bill us for looking into it, I will have to get full board approval and you’re on the Board! Life is lovely.

Well, good news. I talked to the CPA. It sounds like what she did was to improve her individual tax situation, but the Association isn’t liable for anything. I couldn’t care less about her ethics, so that’s fine! I’m glad I can breathe again.
It was still a slippery thing to do. I spent a good bit of time investigating. I will keep my calculations and make sure the next treasurer knows what happened.
She posted this on Facebook recently. The irony is almost too much to bear.

I am just amazed at how awful some people can be. As in behavior that rises to the level of what I consider evil.
Everyone needs to go back to kindergarten and re-learn the Golden Rule: treat others as you would wish to be treated. The world would be a lot better place.

KC. Nice job.
Sooo, the gentleman seated in front of us is coughing up a lung and the one across the aisle (center section of the plane) I am guessing hasn’t bathed since 2003. And oh lord— now he has taken his shoes off. My eyes are literally watering. This is going to be a long 9 hours.
** eta: and now cue the screaming kid. 
Annnnd… the door got stuck, the pilot was late and the pushback equipment stuck to the nose of the plane. What, me worry?
Aaandd the Headpgones don’t work (ah, finally rectified the last issue.)

Katie Ledecky is truly a national treasure. Talented, humble, and gracious in all her victories. Not to mention the most decorated female US Olympian of all time. She has a much different vibe that the in-your-face athletes that are all too common.
And, a random but interesting note. Our son had a class Katie at Stanford. He was struck by how she handled fame, was very approachable, and just plain nice.

Hmm, the garbage collection company for our town has switched to trucks with automated lift arms. Every homeowner/renter has been given a huge trash can and a huge recycling can. The cans have to be placed just so at the end of the driveway, with a distance of three feet between them. If you live in a duplex, the four cans have to all be lined up. That’s a long distance. The cans block the driveway, plus what’s going to happen in the winter when there are huge piles of snow? We are still having to pay for town trash bags. The town was told that cameras to check for compliance would be $13,000, but the price has been upped to $30,000. There are a lot of unhappy people right now.

Even educated individuals can be ignorant. Three signs of ignorance commonly displayed are:
- Refuse to listen and to learn from others;
- Don’t want advice because they know it all;
- Agree/listen to others who echo their own thoughts.

Spent the afternoon analyzing years of taxes to figure out what we did wrong related to after tax IRA contributions and Roth Conversions.
Watching paint dry may have been more fun, but the good news is it’s not as bad as I thought it might be. (Note - I do not do our taxes).
