Went to a casual dinner tonight and ended up sitting with an A list Hollywood actor! I am still a little in shock.

Really? (that’s all)
Please tell me I am not the only one who has a note on the calendar and I have no idea what it means.

Really? I think you’re extremely rude.
And quit playing the victim.

There were so many boundaries crossed that my head hurts. Sorry I couldn’t listen to how wonderful your experience was. I know it wasn’t.

And that’s a wrap on that project. Thank you for thanking me for my efforts

Do that many people really stink in all of those areas? And do I really need to hear songs about it and see them spray the areas they are singing about? Who are we??

I got a bad news from my building super today that my downstairs neighbor has a leak and it is most likely from my toilet. This is the toilet that I had a leak fixed in Jun 2023. The cost was 200/hr + 50 for materials. The job cost me $280 with tax.
Two years later to get them to come back to lift the toilet to see what is causing the leak (maybe due to building’s pipe). The same plumbing company said their new cost is $300/hr with a helper at $150/hr and there is a minimum 2 hrs charge. They are crazy if they think I am going to pay $900 just to have someone to come out to take a look.
I know there is inflation, but has anyone here gotten close to 400% increase in their pay?
Forget about AI, we should just tell our kids to become plumbers.

I made an appointment with a new doctor today. “Oh, let me send you a link to our app.”
I think this makes 6 systems I have to access to get my records:
Old doc (at a medical super complex, so many doc on it) MyChart (and my dentist uses it)
CHIRPS -PCP
Something from Advent Health
Oncologist ( who referred me to a Physical Therapist)
Physical Therapist (not same as Oncologist’s, even though they are in the same super complex)
And now retinologist.
Oh wait, the dermatologist has one too but I cannot figure out how to get into it or retrieve any information from it. It is called Klarma or something like that and keeps sending me notices but I can’t get to them.
Do you think I can use the same password for all of these? Hahaha.

I must be the absolutely the last person who has found out what Tedooo is. I am clueless.
A client texted me today, saying his emails to me were bouncing back. It took a couple of calls to discover that the male member of this household failed to forward me an email from the domain registration company saying we had an expired credit card on file and the domain would expire if payment wasn’t made. Fortunately, I was able to renew the domain.
Then I checked our business website, which is a different domain. Its domain hadn’t expired, but when I tried to get on it, it didn’t exist!! So then I had to locate the web hosting company we had used (thank goodness I had written it down) and go to that site. I managed to fix it, whew! It would have been really hard to recreate it (I looked at the WayBackMachine archive, but nothing came up).
Now I’ve wasted two hours and am very grumpy. My client is getting impatient - this project is a bear and taking me forever.
OK, vent over. I will try to be nice to DH…

Congratulations, son. I wish I could post something meaningful on the bragging thread, but I can’t. The world is a better place because you’re in it.

Something has to give, and I don’t want it to be your mental health. Please, talk to your boss so something can be done to eliminate some of the stress.

Oh, my gosh, I am so tired of computers. I’m pretty good at figuring out problems, but ugh. My MAIN CLIENT still can’t send to or receive from my email address. 
Another hour on the phone with technical support…

Are you out of your ever freaking mind?
Let me see if I can wrap my head around this.
You are going to your physician today, to ask her to diagnose you with diabetes because: I have it; your friends have it. Your mother had it and was diagnosed in her 80s, so you must have it. You just want her to tell you that “you have diabetes so that you can deal with it”.
I told you that if you really had it, you would’ve had the symptoms and lab test to confirm it. You are a cancer survivor. You’ve had millions of lab tests done. Don’t you think they would’ve picked up on it by now?
Those of us who have it, don’t want to have it. We don’t want the constant injections. We don’t want the restrictive diet. This is not a popular contest. Whoever gets the most diabetic symptoms, wins?
I’m wondering if this is a ploy to get them to put you on insulin so that you can lose more weight? I told you that you would have to see counselors, but apparently your current mental health counselor isn’t helping much.
I’ve never heard of something so stupidly asinine in all my life!
When I told you this morning on our walk, that “it’s not fun” sticking needles in your body daily, and that you will have to spend hundreds of dollars on the medications, that seemed to stifle you a little bit; you are on a budget. You are single, 67, and you and are on Medicare!
I know that you are my neighbor and I know that we haven’t spent a lot of time talking but dang girl! I’ve mentioned some clinical issues you may want to address besides this one! You always tell me I look 20 years younger; I hear that all the time but it’s because of my genetics. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I’m diabetic and watch my diet and I wear lots of sunscreen. OMG I still can’t get over how stupid this is. I had to rant. I’m sorry! Rant over for anyone reading this!

I’d really like to remodel/update my bathroom, (90s vintage and not high quality either), but if we really may move out of the country in the next 2 years… spending $$ on a new bathroom probably isn’t a good idea.
