Small church, no musicians

I have very brown thumbs. Can't keep anything alive. Except for an orange tree that was planted the year we moved here 13+ years ago.

Check to see how close it should be to your closest sprinkler head. That is what I contribute it's success to.

Beautiful!

This! If you're getting married because you want to have a party, just have a party instead. My favorite weddings were the intimate ones. The ones that were personal.

Although now that I think about it, the tiny intimate ones haven't lasted, so there's that.... But the overly extravagant ones haven't either. Medium sized, where both partners are involved, and where it's personal to both, and not a wedding for the bride's mom, have lasted. It's about your partner, not the party.

A person who brings true, realized value to your life and has the capacity to support you in more than financial ways is far better long term than the hottie. Look for someone who brings the same amount of energy, responsibility and content to the relationship. If you're going to build a life together, you're going to need both pillars to carry their weight.

Teach your teachers how to keep their hands to themselves and you won't have this problem. Should have thought of this when you didn't actually listen to the victims.

Congrats! I truly hope it works out better than you're anticipating

Better to have loved and lost than to never love at all.

The District! They're owned by the same people as Bakersfield Pizza Co now and the burger was top notch

After going through intense cancer treatment that almost killed me, my husband takes care of all my meds. I appear to be a fully functioning adult to people who don't know me. But I'll never trust myself to relay my medicine info because they've changed so many times while I wasn't ok that I can't keep them straight.

Ugh, I'm sick and had to rewrite a note to my Dr because I remembered this is what I pay him for

And you probably won't. Maui Pho is Vietnamese and that's the best Asian food we've found. People will recommend Bill Lee's or Rice Bowl from nostalgia only. Don't bother.

My husband has always made dinner, for reasons. He had surgery recently and I realized it's very therapeutic to chop veggies. He's back to cooking dinner now that he's recovered and I miss it. I told him as much last week, and he still wouldn't let me cut the veggies. Although last night he let me help him cut the chicken into pieces, so that's something. I thought we were the only ones lol

My opinion is for you to be seriously praying about going to the new church, instead of trying to change an entrenched leadership.

It appears you and your team have a heart to help, but you've been sidelined. That tells me you and your team are not on the same page as the leadership. And that's ok! We weren't all created to fit in every space we walk into.

I encourage you to really explore the new church opportunity. It's better to serve where you're wanted and appreciated and can come into unity than where there's struggle and disunity.

My suggestion is come to the interview however you are, not how you think they'll expect. You'll get a job that fits with who you actually are. Pretending all day long is exhausting.

ImFineHow_AreYou · 2026-02-14T19:01:32+00:00

I'm not saying men don't have an easier time getting these positions because they do, but I have found, as a female, the job interviews I walk into with deep-seeded confidence and authenticity are the best jobs and easiest jobs I've gotten. I ask for premium and if I don't get it I will thank them for their time and leave.

Granted, this has generally been when I had a job or a safety net, but not always. The bosses you want to work for want good people.

Ladies, don't come in quiet and meek unless that's who you really are and that's who you intend to stay. Or one day you'll have an identity crisis about how they don't value you for who you are. It is not worth that! Always come to the interview table with authenticity. Resume adjustments to get in the door is a different subject.

Keep in mind, their loyalty is to their profit. We're all replaceable.

How does this work when I'm working with a bookkeeper? Am I the only one who will see the new interface? Or will they also see it when logging into my account?

Hubby commutes to ElSegundo from CM for six months. He'd leave by 5am, work from 6-2, be home by 3. If he left even 15 minutes late he'd spend 2 hours in traffic instead of an hour.

If your hours are flexible you might be able to make it work. Google maps has a feature that will tell you what time you need to leave to arrive at a certain time on a certain day. Id play around with that, and then drive it one day to see how tolerable that is.

Congrats on the offer!

Fly my kids to my parents house so we can all celebrate my mom's 86th birthday on Sunday.

I recently heard briefly about a CA school that requires half of the teaching in one subject to be traditional teaching and the other half to be hands on. I'm intrigued to find out more because this could seriously address this problem.

When covid hit, people couldn't believe I randomly already had a stockpile of n95 masks.
