You vote for Dems and you get shit holes like Chicago. Last Republican mayor was in the 50s, I think.

I don’t normally agree with you, but definitely do on this.

I’m getting really tired of the buy an EV, ride a bike, or take public transit spiel.

My next diving adventure is going to be Mexico for full cave in August. My WI instructor recommended this. Going with a woman instructor she knows well. Had a nice chat last night. Going to MX as the...

Sure is! Thanks all!

I know a number of people who use an old iPhone as a media player.

Forgot to add - I asked for the ability to work at home occasionally such as when a bad snowstorm is forecast. I have a 45 minute commute. Owner agreed to that. They will move me to a laptop from the...

IL, if you don’t have an iPass or EZ pass transponder, you just make a note of the toll taking sites and pay online. They did away with actual toll booths with covid. You pay online after you’ve...

Work has been going much better. Got a 13% raise yesterday. $10K! I’m still shocked!

Owner said he likes how I keep Customs off his ass. I told him I like how he leaves me alone to do my job...

I saw 99 cents strawberries around Easter at Jewel (big grocery chain). I’m just about out the door to shop at Jewel. It’s been two weeks. Going to pay close attention to egg and cheese prices as...

There are a lot of rentals in my condo complex (two story buildings, part townhouse and part 1/2 BR units). A lot of us seem to be longer term renters. 14 years for me. 4 years for a neighbor. It’s...

Just catching up with this thread now. Having grown up with an alcoholic father and my enabling mother, one of the best things I ever did was to move away and then eventually cut them off. Mother...

Just checking in. I’m fine. Haven’t seen the stalker.

Oddly, I cannot access the forum with my VPN active nor via the Brave browser. Have to disconnect VPN and switch to Safari.

One difference about today is that there are multiple forms of effective birth control.

Very odd, but Groot, the Chicago mayor, seems to be angling to promote abortion tourism, for lack of a...

Thank you, Bae! I thought I did remember you mentioning that in the past.

The doors themselves don’t fully close. It’s something with the door itself.

Order of protection was denied. They did not consider this situation to need one. I do have a paperwork trail going with my local police department and they are aware of the situation.

Temporarily deactivated my LinkedIn account. I am not willing to even temporarily deactivate FB as a lot of my diving is arranged there.

Now trying to deal with the people who live in the 7 other...

Deleted the detailed post I had written. The stalker is done laying low. Working on getting order of protection in place. I’ve let all my friends know, employer, etc. Now using a VPN and Proton Mail....

I was referring to the poster’s daughter who wouldn’t go out shopping on Sundays because she was so disturbed by the signs.

Jeez. Really?

I guess it all depends on your relationship. My friends have been grateful for practical things like meals or gift cards so they could order food for delivery. They liked parents/siblings or very...

I think you should be able to watch this video even if you’re not on FB. The Disapproving Corgis group is hysterical. This video is if Winston, who loudly disapproved when his owner said no more...

Yep, but look at it this way. If I was a vacation diver, I’d be dropping a ton of money on traveling. I’m spending more on gear, but diving a lot regionally.

Just put down my $500 deposit. Probably July-September before I have my breather. Mfg has component shortages like everyone else these days. That deposit gets me a place in line.
