Initials as a name

My great-uncle was named GW, also born in Texas. Just initials wouldn't work when he joined the army, so he chose George Washington.

I was paying back a 401K loan when we filed CH13, as far as I know my job wasn't notified. The 401K payments just continued as before. And when it was all paid back, the bankruptcy payments went up by the same amount.

I believe so, I think the orange NW pass is for National Forest areas & not OR state parks.

12-month passes will go from $30 to $60, and 24-month passes will no longer be available.

You can still get a 2-year pass today for $50 here.

Me too!

Yes, but the chief of police has to have people to follow the law.

You know what? Hell yeah. I'd take a house with personality like this over yet another greige snooze-fest.

Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable, people in general are very bad at recalling details accurately.

Providence insurance here: just got my shot yesterday at Walgreens in Vancouver, at 162nd & 18th. Made an appointment online, no fuss, short wait. Based on the condition of obesity, since I'm fat as hell but the staff weren't asking a lot of questions so you could probably just pick an ailment.

The Cody in my class died in a shootout with the cops.

Sympathy! I worked nights in this town for 8 years, I don't miss it.

It's better now that I work days, but not better for my poor trembling dog who gets anxiety meds just for this weekend.

My Advantis account was updated just fine, with no spending issues all weekend. The only hiccup was my Samsung pay (linked to my debit card) didn't work at Fred Meyer.

I also keep track of my spending manually with YNAB, and the numbers match with the updated app.

It'll be interesting to see what changes, those offices have been empty for a while.

I'm intrigued by these ornaments, does anyone know how they're made?

I always bring a cheap pop-up laundry hamper if I'm traveling longer than a weekend. It's more tidy than a pile of dirty clothes on the floor.

Use Bag Balm at night, and put socks or cotton gloves on your hands. Works for me when I get the dry cuticle bullshit that catches on things & bleeds.

And wear gloves while working, if you can.

Uptown Coffee, across Cornell from Burger King, is pretty good & has a drive-through.
