I think I’d hate to live with other people. Love it on my own. I’ve always been an apt dweller. It’s ok

I get my second dose the 21st.

I have a written list of contacts.

DH doesn’t want to get the vaccine? Fine. But he can then deal with the consequences - people knowing he refuses to get it and being banished into...

I think he remained Orthodox at heart, but he was baptized into the Church of England right before he married Elizabeth.

Good luck, Happy!

That is one of the most bizarre things you’ve posted.

:D Love kitty antics.

The chair cushion makes a HUGE difference. Guy I work closely with was out of the office yesterday. Full day by myself wasn't bad. We have a...

Very small funerals. 10 people or less in many places. A friend of mine is the manager of a group of several funeral homes. She told me they've had...

The Cubs and White Sox are doing the same. Not sure about the Sox, but the Cubs are doing no contact vendor sales. People are assigned specific gates.

I read Kondo, but never put it into practice. Just seemed like too much to keep up. For the 8 months I worked from home, I was like Bae. Lived out of...

Wow!

Sat down and ran some numbers with new job pay. Will allow me to pay down cc nicely!

I’m surprised you even use the internet at all. Not being snarky, just an observation.

I just finished When Books Went to War The Stories that Helped Win World War II. HIGHLY recommend it. It was a suggestion from Amazon based on my...

Glad you’ve got it!

My father was an alcoholic. Got dry through AA after I left for college, but he was a dry drunk. Didn’t drink, but had the same behavior as while...

Got one of the foam/gel chair cushions for work chair. Has a cut out for tailbone. Tried it in my desk chair at home. Very comfy. We’ll see how I...

Same here.

Things are getting bad in Cook County (where Chicago is). I’m on the far edge of suburban Cook. Looking like indoor dining will be going away....

Those subcompact hatchbacks are really cute. Good if you don't need a ton of cargo room.

TT, great to hear you go so much done!

Health officials on the radio were saying to NOT laminate the card. What if you need boosters, etc.? They wouldn’t be able to add those with the card...

Got the $684 from unemployment today. Work continues to go well. Very busy and lots of weird stuff to deal with.

Big increase in cases in both Chicago and the surrounding area. 18-30 somethings are the culprit. The Chicago positivity rate has gone from 3 to 4%...

Well, glad you were able to get an appt.

Got my first partial paycheck today - $1654 after taxes. Woot! Can’t wait for my first full one on the 15th. Certified for unemployment today for...

Thanks. Nothing so far.

Just got jabbed! Pfizer. Sitting for observation. Second jab is the 20th.

He IS a burden to you. You’re stuck now. You’re in a falling apart house with electrical issues that can’t be fixed because of HIS issues.

So sorry.

Sure does!

Everything has gone up. The bags of frozen fruit I eat with yogurt went up $1. Bagels, bread, etc. I can get milk 2 gallons for $4 if you buy two. I...

Rogar, the Ranger got big when it was brought back in the last couple of years.

Great news!

The place I had interviewed with three weeks ago yesterday (the Monday of the week I got laid off) decided they wanted me. The only thing I heard was...

Nice!

That is stupid. Our toilet paper is made here. And the stuff from Asia to the US either goes directly to the west coast. Or through the Panama Canal...

Got an appt on Wednesday for first jab. The hospital group my GP works for sent out two emails today. Was able to get through right after work.

Good idea to get some help. I’m sure the teen appreciates cash in hand.

Friends weren’t able to get me an appt today. It was jammed.

Left over Middle Eastern food from last night. Eaten while soaking in a hot bath while recovering from diving today

When I went to Target for a printer in the summer, there was ONE on the shelf. Took it.

Stuff from Asia to the US will most go to the West Coast. No Suez.

Sorry to hear about the issues! Slow packers drive me nuts!

A church friend’s tech savvy son got the text, too. He’s going to try to book my appt for me

Just got a text from the county health dept that I could log onto their website tomorrow at noon to book an appt, but I’ll be diving and cell service...

So some thoughts at the end of my first week. Being able to use the stock Microsoft Windows clipping function without being harassed about using...

Jeppy, Section 8 has a very long waiting list in many areas.

I’d much prefer WGN AM (mainstream talk station with local folks), but this is music I grew up on so I can deal with it. At least there is SOME noise...

The office manager got tired of the silence and put on some 70s/80s Pandora channel. :D Things are going good. Got more stuff to do so the day is...

I pay attention to the country of origin on everything, due to the work I do! Already knew that about garlic.

Glad you found something you like.

Here in IL, it’s county dependent.

I was doing complicated EPA pesticide clearances today with NO errors. If that’s not proof the previous job’s system was crap, I don’t know what is!...

Not that I’m aware of. Yes, it is a big mess.

IL, there is only ONE person training me. He shows me stuff and gives me files to go back to my desk and work on. Re sciatic - yesterday I was...

If you buy from a PRIVATE seller, a background check may not be required. It depends on STATE law. If you buy from a gun shop at a gun show, gun shop...

Headphones are a no go. I think it’s a matter of getting used to the chair. I brought a tennis ball from home to shove under left thigh as...
