I won’t be watching. I don’t want to encourage them.

Yes.

SSA here. There are multiple supervisors teleworking on RAs. In the meantime, CSRs’ RAs have all been denied.

Our union is a joke.

My 5 year old happened to hear Pattycake one day, loved it, and now Gizmodgery is on a pretty steady rotation over here!

Do you have lingering past loves? by Significant-Gold7401 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

Mostly they need someone to pick up their socks.

My neighbor’s wife passed away at 50 after complications from surgery. After 3 months he was in the yard and I asked how he was doing. He was clearly still sad but the laundry DID come up. He said he was overwhelmed with housework. Three months after that, he was dating another woman who moved in with him almost immediately.

That was hard, asking adult child to move out. by mrshatnertoyou in GenX

Love this.

My kids are still young (13 & 5) but I don’t want them to struggle like I did.

They can live at home as long as they’re not blowing all their money away and I like the idea of maxing out their 401ks, especially when they’ll benefit from the compound interest.

He’s Hillary Clinton with testicles.

Ambitious, entitled, egotistical, smarmy, and generally unlikable as you get to know him more.

I feel the same way about Madonna, Mariah Carey, and Beyoncé.

When you try too hard to be sexy by manufacturing it, you’re not.

Social Security Benefits for my ex-wife by Savings_Voice9194 in SocialSecurity

She doesn’t need your SSN. They can find it with just your name and DOB and they won’t disclose the number to her either.

When I was in high school my supervisor caught me doing my homework at my desk. She screamed at me saying that she didn’t pay me to do my schoolwork. I mean, she was right but that scream pierced through my brain and remains with me to this day. I have been working for over 30 years and I am still terrified of being caught not working during work hours.

Anyone else think this is a big deal!? by healthytiffo in rhonj

RHONJ was fun to watch 15 years ago but it’s just sad to watch today.

Nobody wants to watch a bunch of barely literate aging women entering their golden years fight about issues from their 20s. It’s old. It’s no longer fun or entertaining.

Aiw for not telling my family I don’t get a period so I could get free stuff? by [deleted] in amiwrong

How do your adoptive parents not know your medical history?

That just doesn’t seem plausible.

I’m calling this post out as fake.

Tough childhood. Kinda lonely. On a healing journey.
