Well, that was a bust. The salary was $30K less than I currently make. There's no way that would work for me. I was making that back in 2020! Plus I...

Pre-screen interview (video call) at 730 am central tomorrow. Fingers crossed, please!

You really think 9/11 would have happened without Islam? Really wrong. Suggest you read The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. I was...

Islam is backwards as f*ck. We’ll throw that Ilhan Omar in there, too. I don’t like Trump, but I’m all for kicking Muslims out.

Don’t forget the grooming gangs in the UK who are Muslims. True, they’re not diddling little boys like the Catholics, but they are going after under...

Catholics are not out to kill us, commit hijackings, or were the cause of 9/11. Period. I grew up 30 minutes from Dearborn, MI. Nuff said. ...

I would me not be sad at all to see Iran’s government fail. I’ve always called them the Great Satan, a turn around of what they always called the US....

I'm so tired of being the only source for customs related information at my company. I want to work elsewhere with more people for resources.

Didn't happen yesterday.

Came back to work after nearly two weeks off to a ton of BS. Been there nearly five years. It was so bad that I checked the website of a good big...

Here in IL, we have gambling places all over. They have women’s names like Betty’s. Then there’s the sports betting. Plus we’ve had casinos for...

Indian half of the owners at work was a complete turd today, as he usually is. He's not been in the office for at least 6 weeks (been traveling). It...

There could be a ruling in the tariff case Friday. Waiting with bated breath.

I have checking and savings with Chase, who are huge here. High yield savings account with Vanguard, where my investment accounts are. I like having...

The New Yorker is available via the Libby app from my library. I bet it's accessible via yours, too. You'll just have to wait for the next digital...

Nice looking truck! I've recently upped my 401K contributions by an extra $400/month. I have a target date fund. Last time I looked (few months...

Today is my last weekday off before I go back to work Monday. I just went through the three drawer plastic cart thing I use for storage at my LR...

I now refuse to put any checks in the mail now. Just for shits and giggles, I tried two checks from bank bill pay to my church. Didn’t find out until...

It literally doesn’t matter when or how I vote in person. The walk kills my knees. Shopping at Aldi (small store) destroys my knees.

Maybe this will get the procrastinators off their butts. I’m on permanent mail in ballot. My knees hurt too much.

Happy New Year! Stayed in last night after an early evening church service. Cold in the teens today, so staying inside and cozy.

Opened the rest of the Christmas cards and since I was going through stuff today they went right into the trash, except for one very nice card...

I ended up getting a deal for $33 a month for 26 months, saving me $12 a month. It doesn't lock you in, it's just a reduced rate from a holiday sale.

Mint's plan has nothing to do with the actual phone, as long as the phone can be used on the plan. I'm going with Visible by Verizon. Unlimited talk,...

Which plan are you on?

Good God, Commieland? Watch out with whatever electronics you take.

Don’t you have a Barnes and Noble near you? Or why didn’t you order from another bookstore if you despise Amazon?

Check fraud has been up since the pandemic and the USPS keeps getting slower.

I read with mine in the tub all the time.

I’ve been buying online for years. For clothes, I stick with places/brands I know the fit of. Other than a few places such as Dr Bronners or Republic...

They go to stores and buy stuff in person.

I upped 401K contribution from $500/paycheck to $700/paycheck. And yes, I had really only started seriously saving late last year.

Your DH is crazy. The people I was surrounded with on Christmas were either Boomers, Millennials, or Gen Z. I was the only Gen X. There were as many...

Iris, this was actually a topic of conversation on Christmas. I'm all in with tech, online stuff, electronic payments, etc. I was surrounded by...

Do you have a Kindle Paperwhite? If so, it's waterproof. Great for reading in the tub or otherwise near/in water.

Rosa, not family gift exchanges, but I remember one work gift exchange around 2007ish that resulted in so much cheap junk that I threw it all out...

I'm ending the year with $17K in savings. I need to put more in my 401K. I also will focus on paying off the car loan for next year.

Good luck, Klunick! I'm enjoying some badly needed time off from work. Christmas Eve was my first day off and I go back the 5th.

I've had an IKEA Ektorp upholstered armchair for 17+ years. Still going great.

Dinner with goddaughters’s family was good except for one Orange Man fan who would not stop talking politics. He was unable to talk about anything...

Merry Christmas! Service last night and one this morning. Singing in both as part of choir. Few hours vegging then heading off to one friend’s home...

More BS today, but I got most of what I needed to do done. The rest I stuck unread emails in a to do folder and left with a clean inbox. It can wait...

Work system went down for about an hour at 3. I had stuff to do that didn’t require customs clearance software. Got the new tires on then worked for...

You're from OH, which already means you're broken! <--Michigan native

My motto is: Cold is good. Cold is life. I love cold. Windsor, ON is actually south of Detroit!

Office manager just texted me that system is back up, but we need to change password to 14 characters. That needs to be done at work computer so I...

Immdiately pre-Covid, I knew families who didn't want their kids to go to community college as it was beneath them. They had to go to four year...

I'm with Bae. They definitely whine entirely too much. They have unrealistic expectations about home, salaries, etc. They want to have NOW what their...

I think Tybee was the one who told me about the change in Canadian law that would allow me, with a grandparent born in Canada (came to US in 1930s...

Work system was down when I got into the office yesterday. It was down all day - emails, industry specific software, even phones - except for a brief...

I see lots of articles in the NYT that there is promising research about the GLP1 drugs being helpful for other conditions besides weight loss.

No, the new LEDs *ARE* too bright, plus some people may do stuff to their vehicles that changes the vehicle height the lights were designed for.

Bae, don't care about the booze, but that radio is awesome.
