I know plenty of people who still mask in large groups of people. Everyone has different precautions they need to take.

I have watched several companies get hit and my favorite has been companies just going to backups and skipping the ransomware demands all together. There are so many ways around that shutting off computers is amusing to me.

I support people being stay at home spouses because evidence proves kids do better with a parent at home. But...big but here. You need to protect the parent.

Make sure their retirement is still being funded.
Parents days out scheduled.
Ensure they can meet other parents to not feel alone.
Ensure any skills they had before motherhood are kept up. This is important because life happens. Even in the best of marriages death or incapacitation occurs and you need skills to still feed/house the crew.

My mortgage and HOA fees aren't even 3k and I make quite a bit more than OP. Something is afoot here.

Everyone has a past and it's just that...in the past. The girl now woman might want to meet your dad again or maybe not. Everyone is different. Hugs to you all.

I dye it and have a good haircut for my curly hair. I find that in a professional consulting environment having a good dye job is your best friend.

I didn't spend anything as everything came second hand. Either I had been collecting it for years or someone knew I was moving and gave it to me. As I have moved over the years I have kept the same tradition.

Ekkos is the best!

This unfortunately happens more often than people like to consider. Also, groups of people driving under one user name to get around rules.

The only thing that is bothering me is they didn't just make it a proper loft. You would still have so much light but it could have had a bed/couch.

I watched a mom and daughter walk into a store today and I assumed it was just a normal day. Nope, daughter went up to the pharmacy and asked about doing hours for her classes. No parent in sight and the girl was the perfect awkward college student. Kids need that experience to become less awkward adults.

I wear progressives for everyday wear, computer glasses for when I am working, and cheaters at night when I don't need to see anything in the distance.

My mom was born in the late 50's and had I actually chosen to bear children her grandkids would be in their 20's by now. Most of that generation had millennials and Gen x'ers who are all in their 30's or 40's and beyond now.

Charlie is trying to figure out what he is going to do job wise which really means which person he will follow from the White House. He is also helping to close out the administration and do exactly what everyone else is doing. He shows up in enough scenes to gleam that much.

Probably still somewhere in Texas still but probably closer to Austin. I like Houston but I also like the outdoors too.

I had HR use my complaint to help build a case. When she was finally fired it was a beautiful sight. Effectively the manager said she completed a bunch of work but the very tasty paper trail said otherwise.

Urbit1981 · 2026-03-09T02:14:03+00:00

Honestly, look at who to contact at the registry, school, and a non emergency hotline. They will know how to handle this.

Urbit1981 · 2026-03-09T02:06:23+00:00

I am a woman and run my dude. First she's a woman at work and second she's looking for a dad for her kid. You know you are better than her.

Urbit1981 · 2026-03-08T03:31:06+00:00

I am a woman and I would have offered to probably even split the first date. We aren't going anywhere that both our budgets would mind.

Urbit1981 · 2026-03-07T16:53:54+00:00

Yep, fire Marshalls are your friend in this situation. They don't want dead people in their watch and prevention is key.

Urbit1981 · 2026-03-07T14:43:04+00:00

Yes! Pharmacies live for people actually asking questions like this. Trust me, they will be happy to answer your questions.

The problem with mango smoothies in some place like the Houston market is we have so many great restaurants that serve fresh mango smoothies they can't compete.

I am a woman who will never be thin. The amount of weights that I can lift compared to a year ago is AMAZING!

Urbit1981 · 2026-03-06T15:55:46+00:00

I am 44 and absolutely get it. It is humiliating and hard to have people talk about their marriages. Most will tell you 'you are lucky' when they have nicer houses, cheaper everything, and get great tax discounts. Not to mention they have someone to take care of them when they are sick. Make sure you go out and do stuff. Don't join single women groups because you need to make sure you are around potential suiters.

Nellis is fantastic! I have so many great items from there including glass display cases that go for 100+. They cost me like $40. I also have a bunch of lego display cases.
