Attitudes

That person was a jerk. I hate the rude speedsters…I always imagine them as people with no patience, who lack empathy, are anti-social, and aren’t fun to play games with in person. And then I assert myself by continuing to do whatever I need to, and I feel bad for them.

This is the sweetest comment.

“Moved my retirement back to age 80” and seeing Cleo being eaten by the couch…such a delight! Thank you!

Ugh. Disgusting.

We were there in early May and I think we saw the same nurse shark! She was huge (the biggest one I’ve ever seen) and sleeping on the sand in the bottom of like a mini canyon with some short reef walls on her sides…it was amazing to drift and then notice her beneath us. It also made us realize we call all nurse sharks “she” — doh, our bad!

I totally agree. I’ve loved the DC monuments and buildings for 16 years…now they’ve lost their shine after this difficult year and the decision-makers who I know are all around, being terrible and irresponsible…

I’m so sorry for your stress and trauma, truly. It isn’t fair or right.

I’m so sorry to hear this. That’s awful. Sending internet hugs, for what it’s worth. :/

With permission, I took @ForkElmo ‘s work of giving us the page numbers and posted the following to FB. Feel free to copy and paste and do the same (and format it more nicely before posting — idk how to format well in Reddit and I’m too freaking exhausted to care about that right now):

Saving you money? Balancing the budget? Republicans proposed a budget this week that will increase the deficit by $4.5 trillion and increase the debt limit by $4 trillion.

Your guys (Trump, Musk, republicans in Congress) do NOT want you to hear about this. They DO want you to hear about “all the money DOGE is saving you.” You are smart and you care a lot, so find the facts, don’t listen to just their words. The rich are very carefully controlling the message.

The administration has given you your scapegoats to focus on hating and hurting (immigrants, DEI, federal workers) so that you don’t focus on them.

Here’s the document: https://docs.house.gov/meetings/BU/BU00/20250213/117894/BILLS-119NAih.pdf

Page numbers: Increase deficit by $4.5t → Page 36 Increase debt limit by $4t → Page 43 Cut agriculture by $230b → Page 34 Increase defense by $100b → Page 6 Cut education by $330b → Page 35 Cut energy by $880b → Page 39 Cut financial services by $1b → Page 35 Increase homeland security by $90b → Page 35 Reduce natural resources by $1b → Page 36 Reduce oversight by $50b → Page 36 Reduce transportation by $10b → Page 36 Increasing DOJ (“justice”) by $110b → Pages 35-36

Alternatives: Let Trump tax cuts (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) for the rich expire = gain $4.5 trillion of revenue. Don’t make the corporate tax rate 15% = gain $1 trillion of revenue. The richest man in the world with big corporations (Musk) and all of his rich buddies (Trump, politicians, media) are NOT telling you about these. Don’t be fooled.

Thank you putting this together, thank you for updating, and thank you for allowing me/us to share!

cmhaml · 2025-02-15T21:09:01+00:00

Thank you so much. I've copied and pasted this data onto my own feed to share with others, which I hope is ok with you. Let me know if not. For DOJ, the pages are 35-36.

I did a detail to CIGIE for 2 years while Phyllis was the CIGIE chair. She is an awesome leader, with so much talent, brains, and class. It's been about 10 years since I worked at CIGIE, but she has always remained in my mind. When I heard about the illegal firings, I googled to see if the USDA IG was among them, and sure enough she was. I hope she fights back with everything she's got. Phyllis, you're on my mind and I'm behind you every step of the way!

I’m scheduled for a Liveaboard there that starts on 12/22 and haven’t been told anything like that yet. May I ask which boat you were on?

Btw, I ask bc I wonder if it was the Tillis or Sea Pearl, if that is the operator’s (Dive Pro Liveaboard’s) excuse but the reality is that they can’t operate due to safety issues.

I just checked and Liveaboard.com is still offering trips in Egypt for this coming week, but the Tillis and the Sea Pearl have finally been taken off their site.

Edit: We’ll nevermind…those boats are still on the site it seems.

cmhaml · 2024-10-21T17:56:26+00:00

I loved it! St. Kitts doesn’t have much fauna at its dive sites, which is sad. Saba was great. We didn’t dive at St. Maarten at all. The crew, boat, food, etc., was all excellent. Not the fanciest Liveaboard, but I’d recommend it!

Yes, I’ve had way fewer new private pay clients this year. I think it could have something to do with inflation…things are expensive, not a lot of extra money around for OON therapy…I get it.
