I know we don't often agree but Thank You here! It is indeed as you put it, some crazy/funny business. Rob
And no I have not walked off my job nor am I thinking about it. I ask this as we had one young man working in produce who did not get along well with the produce lead and ending out walking off the...
I swear the following story is true, I swear - I am saying this as I don't believe it myself. I received a FB message from a Trump supporting gay man with whom I went to high school who read one of...
I take it then that the events of January 6th, 2021 didn't mark a turning point for you, that you didn't seriously question the long term viability of the United States in January 6th's aftermath? ...
I've always wanted an amoire and I found one recently at the Junior League Sale at the State Fairgrounds. $70. I'm happy with it but I question how bright it was to buy a piece of heavy furniture...
K. IL. I get your point. All is good. And I'll give you this - I know a couple people like this who don't offshore - but love to complain even though a cost effective solution is but three hours...
IL, no offense, you are comparing apples and oranges here. Health care - especially when urgently needed - is a big deal and depending on the issue, potentially life saving. This does not compare in...
YES! On some level you get it, IL. Exactly! Offshoring is extremely capitalistic of me - I have no problem admitting this. It's also payback for the excessive costs inherent in this citizenship,...
Thank You, lL. I agree that indeed this is a tragedy. He left behind a six year old girl (age at the time) in Morelia, Michoacan, who will grow up with only vague memories of her father. Rob
I'vr remembered your post here these past four years. What a trip things became not longer after you posted these words! I'm just glad this time has passed and hope that in my lifetime there is not...
I lost a tenant - a 39 year old Mexican male with years ahead of him - due to Covid. I also know of one deli clerk at the Food City I go to who passed - she had fatty liver, who knows if this made...
One of these skills that I retain with great pride and great common sense - the connections and the knowledge necessary to navigate much less expensive Mexican health care - though I do understand...
Or parts of Westside Phoenix. Rob
Thank You, too, Catherine. Rob
You get it, HappyStuff, Thank You! And you are so so right, it all can be stripped away from you so quickly. And often via circumstances completely beyond your control. Rob
I wish I could have more faith in your vision of the future, jp1, but I'll try. Rob
I am cringe to admit this in a world with so many hungry people and such instability, but here goes - $259 before tax. I'm sure you can understand my guilt now. Rob
I think this is a pretty good definition of middle class. Thank You, Alan. By your definition yes, I'm middle class. Rob
Fair question, TMS. Fair question. For me it's so foreign to have money left over to (hoard) invest and save - this kind of money - that I expect the other shoe to drop any day now. My life has...
Yes. Radicalized folks on BOTH sides. I could not agree more. Rob
Look around you, Alan. The glue that once held the fabric of this society together is falling apart. Some kind of nasty conflict really does seem inevitable. I've never seen such sorry candidates...
I won't mention my zip code again but I will say this much - most people in my.neighborhood believe a civil war is inevitable, as do I. I am far from alone in this. I dread it but I won't turn and...
Ummmm......this middle class person remains low. It's been too difficult getting here and I don't have the basic faith/trust in this society to upgrade my standard of living much.
That said, I...
I'll have you know I rode my Junior League Rummage Sale bicycle around the block a few time before calming down to respond. Phew.
So. No I don't want civil war per se. I accept it's...
Now that Nikki Haley is out only death or assassination will spare the United States a nightmare election cycle that could quite possibly lead to an Authoritarian Dictatorship. I find myself not as...
