“I hope you have a good day!” means something VERY different than it did a week ago.
Call your friends.

Going to Mexico tomorrow so was organizing my purse to get rid of dead weight and things I don’t need. Couldn’t find my debit card, which I rarely use but do like to have when I travel in case I need an ATM. Emptied purse. Nope. Cleaned off table next to ‘my’ chair. cleaned off all the papers around chair, ottoman, couch, looked in the basket under the table. Now worried. Checked the pockets of all jackets and sweatshirts worn recently. I did get the car washed yesterday so went to check the car in case I’d grabbed the wrong one (the 2 I use are blue, the debit card is blue).
I was just about to call it in as lost when I thought ‘One more time…’ I took the cushions off my chair and dug down deep and found the card, a set of head phones (have NO IDEA how long those have been missing), a jelly bean and a button from a quilt I made more than a year ago.
At least I got earphones and a cleaner area out of it.

I understand the world is a more casual place now. But, is it too much to hope men will remove baseball caps in restaurants with a $150 per person cost? I counted at least half a dozen tonight. All ages, too - not just whippersnappers.
I might be old. At a minimum I am old-fashioned.

I will not interfere. Messed-up young people are attempting to use gossip to ruin another young person’s life with criminal allegations that my daughter knows are not true. The accused person has it handled and is able to take it legal. I will not interfere. I will not interfere.

Didn’t want to clog any of the other threads this could go on. I miss my father terribly (next month will mark a year since we lost him). But the current price/access to eggs (a major staple in his daily life) would have sent him off the deep end! A silver lining that I’m grateful I don’t have to navigate.

I just want to watch Jalen hang on to the ball too long and lose 15 yards in peace.

Uptight. Self-righteous. And really annoying.

You have asked us the same question multiple times. And we have given you the same answer (that we aren’t making that decision yet). Now you have changed your schedule yet again (!!) and have asked the same question again. Your plan changes are not changing our response that we are deferring the decision until closer to the time it needs to be made. Please stop asking.

I’m incredibly proud of myself. My brother tried hard last night to get me to discuss issues on which we disagree, and there are many. H tells me that my redirection was masterful. We haven’t agreed on these things since adulthood, and it’s not going to happen. Hopefully, he’ll eventually just stop trying to get me to engage.

Did the bitterness cause the wild imagination or did the wild imagination cause the bitterness?
Some days I miss you so much I can’t even breathe, and there’s nobody to tell because I am not supposed to still have days like this, because after all it has been “long enough” and after all , I didn’t see you all the time anyway. But I think you were the only person in the world who 100% thought I was just absolutely wonderful absolutely as myself, and now you are gone, and I feel lonely for that and for you and I didn’t even know it was a thing until you were gone.

I can’t believe the proposal that you sent. If I was closer to retirement (or had a winning jackpot ticket), I’d definitely be releasing this to the media and explaining why it’s such a terrible idea. I’m hoping the powers that be have enough integrity and backbone to reject all the asinine components of this plan. I’ll definitely do everything within my power to provide them the evidence to show that this proposal is a total failure for our community.

Granddaughter’s daycare/ preschool sent an email to the parents reassuring them that they are on private property and have a plan if ICE agents come to the school. No information about students will be given out to anyone.
Glad they are proactive, but so sad they have to do this.

People don’t get nuance. Yeah, we KNOW. You don’t have to spell it out. We all understood, except you, I guess.

Bought five plants this weekend. Hurray for FB Marketplace where I get nice little plants for very little $$.

My family of origin doesn’t really celebrate birthdays - a HB text or call is as good as it gets. This year was a milestone birthday for me, and my daughter was so thoughtful and arranged a whole day for us to spend together, doing things that I would be interested in. It made me feel so special and so appreciated. So this weekend was my mother’s birthday. And I wanted her to feel as appreciated as my daughter made me feel, so I hosted a family party for her. Mom’s since called me twice, all choked up, to tell me how wonderful this made her feel. I’m so grateful to my daughter for her example, and I’m so grateful that my elderly mom is still alive so I could let her know, just a little bit, how much we all appreciate her.
