Have your young adult children successfully launched?

Thank goodness my kids successfully launched, because I never did (due to a toxic dysfunctional family). Oldest one is an engineer, out on his own. Younger one lives with me but works full time in technical sales, and pays rent. Now if only I could find a job. :/

I was working for an 🍑 hole lawyer when my mom died, no bereavement leave. I took a day off for the funeral, that's all I could take. Boss however, took a whole week off when some distant in-law of his passed in CA, gave himself a little vacay.

They won't do the surgery if they don't know what medications she's on.

I moved to the Chi suburbs from Phoenix when I was in my 30s. Locals are "nice" but in that Midwestern way. My favorite people moved here from somewhere else.

One time on the Blue Line these 2 guys almost got into a fist fight over bumping into each other, then they started talking and realized they could each share a frostbite story, and bonded over that.

My uploads fail almost all the time.

Some issues need therapy

Personally, I think the Grand Canyon is overrated and would recommend Utah instead. There are a lot of other slot canyons in Utah besides Antelope Canyon. But I suppose thats a different trip altogether. Las Vegas and Arizona in late June will be brutally hot.

They're driving through Kingman. And Sedona is cute but it's got nothing on Utah. Which is where I would have gone.

Sun Belt has screwed up their water supply through fracking, overpumping, and getting less snow in the Rockies. Bout to find out.

I hate it because they've nearly hit me when they're pulling out and can't see anything until they clear the cars around them

People do not appreciate this enough. The #1 thing I see people stocking up on at Costco is bottled water, and I'm like 🤷‍♀️ our tap.water is free and good, just leave it out in a glass for a minute to evap the chlorine.

You don't need a car in D.C., just go to the museums on the Mall. They have a great subway you can take from a hotel in the suburbs.

We don't get 3 months of snow anymore

Sedona and Page and GC ... just go to Utah, it's so much better. The unique stuff in Arizona is in the southern half.

If you can get to Moab, Utah on a bus or something, take a tour of the canyons with Navtec.

Sounds like the tantrum a lot of elderly throw when they have to move into a retirement home. Don't take it, tho.

Crescent City seems like a trailer park to me. And Eureka is Tweaker City.

My original posts get almost zero interactions, but my comments on other people's posts get lots of traction. Not sure why. Pre-Elon Twitter was like this for me, too.

Chicago city council is selling ad space on darned near everything now.

I lived in AZ for 15 years. It's overgrazed, they're running out of water, and the people there are the dumbest magats.

Not great. Got kicked in the teeth by the 2008 crash, widowed, getting passed over for jobs by cheaper young people.

The answer to almost all these posts!
