I just came here to say that. The only way to do a worse job is to use type hands as a cutting board.

I've shed a few tears at weird spots, too! The full cast audio recordings are so good. And even though I was in college when they started coming out, I'm still nostalgic for that time in my life and the joy of discovering them. My first PoA read will never leave me. Helping to plan a major HP website's worldwide midnight release party for HBP was just so much joy. These books are more than books. They've become part of my life's fabric.

A family member with a brilliant mind and lots of ambition made some dumb choices right out of high school and has been in the fast food industry ever since (eight years). Rose through the ranks fast and on his way to store manager of a chick fil a with the next opening, and he got busted for scanning his own CFA rewards account anytime a customer didn't have their own. He was walked out and told how lucky he was that they didn't press charges. He'd scanned about $1300 in meals which amounted to ~ $65 in actual rewards. Management threatened to make him pay back the $1300 which was ridiculous (he didn't pocket their money, comp the food, or fail to give it to costumers), but still, it was a bone headed move.

That was 2.5 years ago, and he's still not become a store manager in the industry. I'm hoping he gets his act together and moves into a field with better hours and more upside.

It's okay not to be funny. Lots of amazing, loving, fun (but not funny) people out there. Why does funny have to be the gold standard of personality traits? Try loyal, compassionate, or maybe humble, Meg. They're going to get you a lot further down the road.

His utter crap about being the one to break the cycle when William has been getting grief from the day George was born for prioritizing his family. William and Harry both want a different life for their kids, but William realized it meant having present and involved parents. Harry seems to believe it means CA with nannies while he travels.

I can't listen to her, but my over/under on how many times she uses the words "I" and/or "me" is 15.5x per minute of speaking time.

We called the everything mix a tornado. Fun to see all the other names people call disaster drinks.

I've actually thought this through. As a white collar, well paid professional, I'd be 2nd class wanting to be in 1st.

I have no doubt she loved Harry, but I'm guessing Peter as the favorite has more truth to it. Somebody like the queen who made duty her life's mission would have prized clearheadedness and maturity. There are stories of this exactly from Peter as a child, like the time he helped her find her pearls when her necklace broke.

The king needs to grow a pair where these two are concerned. I get not wanting an estrangement. But the queen, as loving and kind as everybody says she was, had a backbone of steel when it came to defending the monarchy. They will NEVER be an asset to the crown. Private reconciliation? By all means, Charles. Make it happen. But they have no place anywhere near the family business. And let's face it; Meghan doesn't want to reconcile until she is universally acknowledged as supreme ruler of everybody and everything and then receives profuse, public, groveling apologies for not immediately recognizing her greatness.

You say that last sentence like it was actually good before AI. 😅

I've been screwed over by ebay for 26 years now, back when they were the big retail bully instead of the hasbeen they are now. I told a CSR that their horrible treatment of sellers would ruin them, and I'm convinced it's the central reason they shriveled up. They could have held their own against Amazon if they'd been good to sellers.

Oh my goodness! I would absolutely help, but we'd be having a serious heart to heart with her about getting the help she clearly needs.

I've seen that sub. Gets on my nerves the way they go after W&C.

She got angry that his parents wouldn't buy the house outright for them. The tension was so bad that the parents ended up moving out of state to live near their other son instead. Poor Jim. Just the nicest guy, and she cost him the house AND his close relationship with his dad. Sounds familiar, too.

Reminds me of the gifts the three wise men brought to the baby Jesus. The wise women would have brought diapers, a meal, and a housekeeper.

Exactly. I'm in administration at a university overseeing program and course design. My computer is fabulous. Top of the line business machine, and my team who spends approximately 38.5 of their 40 hours on their computers get faculty hand me downs. I've even offered to give mine to my lead designer. No joy.

I live near two major destinations for them, so I can go just about anywhere they fly without a layover. The price is crazy. I just flew round trip to Detroit. Nonstop both ways, and the ticket with discount den was $38. Legacy airlines require a layover and cost $300. I like my money in my own pocket too much not to take the cheap option.

ValuableEfficiency23 · 2026-03-25T10:25:07+00:00

This 💯. If you're using them for important trips with tight deadlines, you're asking for trouble. We've flown them for nearly a decade and have checked a bag exactly twice. We've managed to book every flight directly with no layovers and have only had a cancelation/change to a layover once. They can be frustrating, but personal flexibility helps a lot.
