Nope. He’d have no clue it exists.

Is boss reading this forum?

I care a lot was taken from a true story that was happening repeatedly in Clark county in Nevada. Google what April Parks did to people. It’s...

We get ours by direct deposit. Probably because I collect Social Security for myself, for my child who is under age 18 and for my wife who cares for...

It’s unfortunate that there’s no quick and efficient way to get the money to people that have suffered financially from the pandemic. My income is...

Never would have imagined we watched some of the same genre of movies. :D

I just screened Alien vs Predator, which shows what a lowbrow I am.

I just had to google -- LOL. Found this: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/reliable-source/2010/12/who_says_washington_is_hollywo.html

Agreed I am one of those introverts who is enjoying the pandemic. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have socialization. Just yesterday I sat on the front...

Yeah, boss seems to be playing around with you for some reason (personally I would take the audacity comment as a supreme compliment--problem is some...

Easy mistake. Even Cuomo didn’t have a golden idol like Trump or a faux Greek temple like Obama. But then, we’re still a few years away from the next...

When ours arrives, we will donate it to a local cause as we did before. We've incurred no loss of income. I wish there was a timely manner in which...

Nope.

I totally agree with Tybee. So sorry Tradd.

Right, because protecting public health would be stupid. >:(

I was pleased to hear Dr. Osterholm on Meet the Press today say that, and I'm paraphrasing here, the CDC needs to be realistic in their advice for...

My DIL felt safe enough to return to work 18 days after the first dose and no one was more paranoid than her and my son. Once they look further into...

Omg it's not the Tappan Zee Bridge anymore? That was a landmark for me, driving up to college.

Yes, like Catherine, I will save mine to pay my taxes. If not needed for that, I will use it to pay for healthcare costs this year, which will be...

I was able to walk on in Indiana that was just mown into the grass. it was lovely. I did another in Virginia at a lavender farm- small. One in...

I just finished The Vow and am in the middle of Allen v. Farrow as it unfolds.

Now if only he and his family can fall into such disfavor that they remove Cuomo's name from the Tappan Zee bridge, I'll be happy. That bridge was...

As I was reading, my first thoughts were that you were talking about Trump. I guess if the shoe fits. LOL. Rhetorical question - what is it...

This is what hubris will get you. The lesser son of a greater sire struts, frets and preens his leadership prowess, even to the point of writing a...

Thank you! I’m so glad you have the same impression of this film as I did. I started reading about it on Reddit and those commenters are going...

Kind of related, one of the most interesting articles I read in the NYT Magazine was a story about status symbols. They did a study on all different...

Yes, go to Amazon and buy a gift card for your favorite bulldog rescue. :) Nothing wrong with generosity when you can afford it. If we get a...

OMG, I was just going to post about this movie. I loved it! Campy, with some social critiques thrown in. They all did a great job, and the casting...

Every time I think of Cuomo's reversal of fortune, all I can think of are the lyrics from Frank Sinatra's song That's Life: "You're ridin' high in...

Try this: when you get such generous impulses login to Amazon.com until they go away.

So sorry you are dealing with this kind of stuff, Tradd. I'm thinking your knowledge, skills and experience will get you through to a better work...

Thanks, of course they are behind a paywall. Of course, neither are illegal, at least in this country. I do understand, not being able to...

Well, we definitely fall well below the max income, so I guess we will be receiving it. Edited to add: but we really are doing okay financially,...

Hear, hear!

That Service was a pain in my ass and I got out of it. It gave me an indication of what things were coming my way but never when. Although you are...

I once read that every profession and area of study is built around 3-7 fairly basic ideas and then elaborated with jargon, ceremony, costume and...

IL, sign up for Informed Delivery from the PO and you can see scans online of your mail before it comes that day.

Sweet mother Jesus! God I love living in a country that’s so rich it can give money away to millionaires. In my household I will have to watch...

I agree! Of course I'm getting the second, but that 92% is so reassuring!!

I'm still waiting for my 2019 return to be processed, and it was mailed in late March of last year.

For a couple, you get the full $1400 each up to 150K and it phases out between 150K and 160K. CNN claims that’s about 90% of the country. So take...

yes, this. Good advice. The boss may blow hot and cold, he could be realistic and exacting OR be unrealistic, I don’t really know, I can’t tell...

Processing this latest stimulus will be another excuse for the IRS to not process my 2020 return and issue me my refund. My new computer was not set...

An omelet with diced onion and butternut squash, ginger, and cheese.

Razz, I love you, and your kind, loving spirit, and I think this is really bad advice--I think Tradd's boss is showing who he is, and she should...

Thanks Simone and Terry for bringing this idea out--did not realize the 91% effective 3 weeks after the first dose! That does seem to argue for...

What’s the income ceiling for this? Is the grift $1400 per person?

This part of the whole process made me laugh. After Ron Johnson’s time waster of reading the whole Bill to a mostly empty room all the republicans...

Mschrigo, I don't think so, because I and mechanics have checked the level, because it didn't happen for 5 weeks after my next to last oil change or...

I wonder if your oil light comes on when the oil is too full... I had a car that did that once.

SO didn’t have any side effects from the first Pfizer job except minor sore arm. Hopefully that will be the case when he gets the second one.

Neither of us will be getting the $1400 either. But we don’t need it so I’m ok with that. I know a few people who will and they are seriously hurting...

Thanks George it’s the second article.

The asset re-arrangement required by my divorce settlement alas put me over the limit on "income", even though I have none.

I don’t appear to be getting anything. Cashed out my 401K from the old job when I was laid off. It put me over $90K in income for 2020. I’m single. I...

To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, "Senator, you're no John McCain."

I think it's a product of our evolution. "Human nature". Similar to how professions or fields-of-study have their own in-group specialized...

Case in point: Many Oklahomans of German descent proudly call themselves Krauts, including my SO.
