One of the better things I think to come out of my marriage is my wife’s bachelors degree. At some point she told me one of her biggest regrets was not finishing it. I was like you still can. With just a little push she did (with honors) and it led to a whole different lower burn out career for her.
I love seeing the 4 thieves vinegar collective referenced in the wild.
It also opens us up to the flip side. People love to spout off the “parenting should require a license”. The first obvious problem is what happens when someone who isn’t licensed gets pregnant/gets someone pregnant. Abortion is the only viable answer. If the government has the legal ability to make you carry a baby to term, it also has the legal ability to prevent you from carrying a baby to term.
For some yes, but for others, that’s just the punishment for the (insert derogatory term) who tempted/stole their husband.
They’re cute, they’re portable, they’re cheap on the low end (which is serviceable for me, cause I don’t care too much), they have a unique timbre that somehow ends up being flexible.
I play the ukulele. I am a rising beginner, but it’s shocking how much is available to me even at that level.
I agree with everything everyone already said about your ascenders and descenders. I also feel like most printing that I see, the bottom of curved letters (s, c, e) tend to be slightly larger than the top. Yours seem to be opposite.
I recently tried to be nice and fill my grandmas car’s tank. She thought her fuel gauge was broken because her trip odometer was at a reading where she usually puts in gas. She tried like 4 times to fill the tank which caused it to overflow into the vapor recovery. If I had mentioned it, she wouldn’t have overfilled. If she had told me, I could have let her know and saved her the diagnostics charge and gotten her cat back sooner.
Once my general anxiety got under control, that some anxiety is actually protective and can clue me in to things. A while ago, anxiety was my first clue that I was in burn out territory (I ignored it and ended up with some suicidal ideation, but got out before that got worse). More recently it let me know that a situation would be bad for me to continue with. I pulled out before it got worse for me or affected others.
Most people with Alzheimer’s actually tend to loose more recent memories first. So they can tell you all about their childhood pets, but nothing about their children.
And what do you do when they take it and then “loose” it or insist you never handed it over?
Right. I hear people pushing passport cards. I can so easily imagine
“Here’s my passport card”
“Thanks”
“Where’s your id?”
“I gave you my passport card”
“No you didn’t/what passport card?”
I was a physical therapist working in skilled nursing. I had 2 weeks, but it was pooled time. So if I ever got sick, it came from there. We were “encouraged” to take PTO if our census was low to “maintain” our eligibility for our health care. We had 3 paid holidays, but we also had to negotiate within our department to work the Sunday before or the Saturday afer.
This is a position which requires a doctorate degree ($103,000 in 2014), sitting for a board exam, and a state based license. We were basically the top of the hierarchy at the facility, and that’s how we were treated. The CNA’s had a literally shit job, and made about the same pay as if they worked at McDonalds (and less than if they worked at Costco).
Panama papers proved this is most likely the most right.
I had nearly the same thing happen to me once. I spent 13 weeks eating nearly every meal from an institutional cafeteria. All veggies were canned, 90% of everything else was fried, probably a solid half of my diet was bread. When my friends got me from the airport, we went to dinner together and I had a very tasty quinoa salad. An hour later my guts were rumbling in a way I haven’t felt before or since. I spent that first night on or feet from the toilet.
I’m glad my mom does is a great book I look forward to never reading again.

I’m spending my commute learning, so less audio book listening
ehhh, some classic jokes:
what do you call an elephant crossed with a rhino?

what do you call a lawyer crossed with a politician?
Your honor.
I personally look best in dresses with a fit and flare silhouette. It’s so easy to sneak pockets in those, but often designers just refuse to. I’ve personally added some to off the shelf dresses, but now I’m pretty much having dresses made for me (surprisingly cheaper than one may expect).
I feel the opposite. I didn’t know my wife long before we started dating, and I am thankful both that I met her when I did and that we dated when we did. She got me after a good chunk of therapy. I am much better at being a human now, and I would have hated to have her go through the healing I had to do (I made all the mistakes and probably hurt a bunch of other people in the process).
