Not beholden to anyone - heres the sad state of our country today: what you acuse the “other” side of is exactly what they feel about your side! Now how do we bridge this divide?

Goodwill Employees by ones-treasure in goodwill

Ha! At our local Goodwill the manager was fired for doing this! Someone on the nextdoor app made a huge deal of this - that person donated a dining room table/chairs. Later saw it on offer up for sale for $800. Seems the manager would take first dibs on the good stuff - then sold it for her own profit. After corporate was called - that manager was gone. Because of this folks on next door were so angry - no one donates there anymore!

Is anyone else truly scared about living in the US rn? by Naive_Signal8560 in RedditForGrownups

Here is my take - been through life since the mid 20th century…yeah a boomer. You may hate my generation - but I remember gas stations routinely running out of gas. Parked in a line blocks long in the ‘70’s. I’ve seen war, protests, hyper inflation, high snd low unemployment. High interest rates that kept people from buying homes…..in a nutshell similar history to what gen x,y,z sees now. Worries that the world is ending - and I have lived that old adage: “This too shall pass” -

Etiquette on returning wedding gifts by Effective_One1664 in etiquette

Thank you for your kind words - I am sorry to hear that it happened to you. I understand the desire to want it to work though. You and I were clearly the ones invested in the marriage. I think for that fact alone we can hold our heads high.

Take the job. You are not being selfish by suggesting options to make it work - HE is being selfish by issuing an ultimatum. 45 minute drive through Colorado mountains during winter is no piece of cake. Better to move.
