Please, please, please sit down with a financial advisor before you make any big decisions. It is vital to understand what assets you have now and what will be available to you in the future. And please include your S in this. Now that you are a widow, he will be responsible should you be come ill or incapacitated. He needs to know what there is and where it is located. I know you think of him as too young for all this but at 23 he is a young adult and what he doesn’t know he can learn. This is not the time for rushed decisions.
Note to self : Just because your dogs have never had fleas doesn’t mean that they are immune to them. Staying in pet friendly hotels exposed them so think ahead of time
New philosophy: It’s not about the number of friends you have on Facebook, it’s about the quality. That’s why I’ve been practicing the Marie Kondo approach of evaluating who brings me joy and saying goodbye to those who don’t.
Whew! If I had typed (on any social media platform) all the things I said to myself, I’d be in a lot of trouble.
This thread seems especially useful to me at the gym.
Omg do not leave personal waste of that nature in the communal areas!
Good for you for standing up for what you believe in, despite getting bullied by your friend’s mother. It can’t be easy to go against the mainstream.
If you are going to take your family on vacation over Christmas, maybe you should inform your mother/mil. When she overhears people talking about it in the grocery line, it doesn’t make her happy. Of course she won’t tell you, she’ll call me her other DIL.
Speaking of which why am I the only one in the family who thinks about the parents and including them in our Christmas plans. Last year it was my mom and this year it’s the IL’s. I’m glad everyone has a fun warm Christmas but I love that we are the ones left behind.
Darn you naps!
You’re so rejuvenating, but you seem to steal an hour or two of my day, every day!
Oh great… You’ll be here an extra week 
Can this day get any worse?
Its going to be a long few days…
Please, God, let there be a female at that Thanksgiving dinner he will attend. Somebody please have a sister, or a neighbor. And I can’t believe it, you are actually going over to someone’s house! You’re not a burden or a leech, they invited you!
God Forbid the young people of our state will get an education. We can’t take away from the treadmill of waiters, servers, and hotel maids that our terrible public schools spit out every year. God Forbid we actually have an industry besides tourism! Thank goodness for Bama!
If you haven’t watched the most recent episode of John Oliver, you should.
You suck, 2016.
If you haven’t watched Jonathan Pie’s rant…you should.
Thank you 2016 for providing a glimmer of an opportunity.
I have made a lot of money in the past week and I feel dirty. I would so gladly give the money back if it would make the week go away. 
You know, I’m really tired of the phrases “special snowflake” and “buttercup.”
Bill Burr’s interview on Conan regarding people moving to Canada was hilarious
:))
My mom’s memory is getting foggier. She’s had lots of tests but nothing shows up. My dad has never been involved in their day-to-day finances, but he HAS to, now. My sister is in no position to help, and I’m 2,500 miles away. Sigh. You don’t think about these things when you move cross-country in your 20s.
Really, it is too much for you to come for Thanksgiving because you have too many things to do earlier that week! Just tell me you are too lazy to do the drive, even though it is less than an hour.
