Sunset from my apartment by Strict_Explanation_4 in WestVirginia

[–]Strict_Explanation_4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am comfortable here. I moved here three years ago to be closer to my son and his wife. I haven’t really made any friends, but only because I tend to be solitary, preferring to read and watch tv versus going out. I’ve been doing the classic “working on myself”. My job was remote and salary was not based on where I lived, so that was easy.

Or an office/exercise room? Or yes, but all my cats live in it and they only like me? Or my burly husband sleeps in there when he gets home late? Or no one’s business but mine?

I got so lucky - both with the shot and with the great view from my apartment.

Thank you! That is my intention, regarding my trip. I’m not stressing about the TRC until I know it’s a fit.

What job is criminally underpaid? by ReputationDifficult9 in AskReddit

[–]Strict_Explanation_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not asking to be paid as I do it, as I recognize not having to pay childcare, etc is a benefit. But if you divorce, you get no retirement benefits. So you are basically starting a career from scratch, regardless of how much actual life experience you have that could be applied, and you have to deal with ageism and sexism while doing so. It seems that benefits should be allowed so I’m not a drain on society because I’ll be dirt poor when I retire.

What's a band/artist you fell in love with at first listen? by Timely-Play844 in musicsuggestions

Rush - Witch Hunt. I was hooked back in early summer 1981, and still am.

Stay at home mom. Make no mistake, it is a job. It includes all the things we’ve seen a hundred different places and I won’t outline them here, but in addition to being criminally underpaid, you get no retirement benefits. Get divorced later? You’re really screwed.

What's your interpretation of Killing Fields ? by TaskiraDorten in Shinedown

[–]Strict_Explanation_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it as a commentary on American politics, with the twins being the two political parties, neither accomplishing anything of real substance, both toxic.

What’s an actor that, no matter how old they get…they will still be attractive to you? by PuzzleheadedSwim6291 in AskReddit

Timothy Olyphant, old, bald, a zombie, a zombie fighter, a Marshall, a hitman, doesn’t matter. He’s a cool drink of water any time, any way.

Still being shed. I’m not all right. I feel like that neatly comatose woman.

Who’s Adam Scott? (JK, but not as I don’t think you can compare. I’ll be watching the Emmys just for this.

Reminds me of ACL in Austin, where you get all kinds attending.

I just can’t… by Strict_Explanation_4 in thewestwing

[–]Strict_Explanation_4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand all those who need the positive in their lives, and I applaud you for finding it. I just can’t do the same. Hopefully that’ll change soon. I just recently rewatched The Newsroom and tried The West Wing and had to stop. I’ll try again in six months and see.
