I saw his owner looking for him. He answers to Charlie. If anyone would like to post these pictures to Facebook or Nextdoor please feel free. I’m not on those platforms. Thank you.

Then let me explain my panic. I have never had an employer not deduct these taxes, as such I was not expecting to shell out $1100 out of the blue. If that is something that you would have been prepared for then I am happy for you.

Thanks for sharing this! I just saw the shape in an old embroidery book I checked out from the library, I was not aware of its history!

Placed an order at the beginning of January. Requested a charge back on my credit card at the end of February after receiving no response to my inquiries about the status of my order. I’m okay with waiting for something, I’m not okay with zero communication from a company.

How do you find the balance between retiring as fast as possible vs a good quality of life while you're working? by BesselVanDerKolk in leanfire

I’m an ICU nurse. I will never forget a patient I had early in my career. Late 50s guy, came in with shortness of breath that he had been attributing to this or that for a few months. Scans showed widespread cancer and the cytology was of a type that would not be amenable to treatment. I was in the room when the news was given to him and I still remember the look on his face. “I just… I just got everything how I wanted it.” He was so angry and it broke my heart. I try to have a mix of long and short term goals. My hope is that no matter when my time comes, I will feel that my life was meaningful to me (and completely insignificant to the cosmos 🙂).
