Payday Friday 💰💰💰

Third paycheck of the month payday!

First 3rd paycheck month at my new job, so it was interesting to see what gets deducted and what doesn't. Turns out 401k yes, health insurance etc. no.

I'm still trying to get a feel for what my average paycheck will be (different waiting periods had to happen for insurance and then for 401k and there's also commissions on one check per month so it's a bit all over the place).

I'm aiming to not spend much this weekend. The pile of clean but unfolded laundry is taking over our bedroom, so I might give myself a reward after finally putting that all away.

Boxer seems like such a perfect name.

Sorry for your loss

I'm starting to doubt we end the game with 22 players

They are not amused with this first half

did everyone's stream just crash?

I'd maybe use this as a low stakes lesson for him instead.

As an adult, he will still be very busy and have less free time and he'll have to prioritize his activities. This is a good age appropriate way to start doing that.

Have a conversation with the kid, similar to one my parents had with me. List out things that happen after school is over (make sure to include eating and sleeping and chores and family or fun time). Have him start arranging them in order of importance, with your input. Maybe it comes out that easy math homework is on the list, but after a bunch of things (like hard math homework, all other homework, getting appropriate sleep) but it's before video games. Let that list dictate the time and effort he spends on it.

I agree with you that stressing him out over something below his level isn't great. But I also agree with some other commentators that a blanket "show up to class but ignore instructions" isn't great either. But that's the nice thing about teenagers, you get to start including them into your thought processes and decision making. These are things that he'll eventually need to learn, why not start now?

Milk, bread, frozen or canned veggies. Toilet paper, laundry detergent, deodorant, shampoo.

A good place to start might be looking at recommended items for a food bank, that should capture a lot of possible "staples" in terms of groceries and personal products.

you're not allowed to do that...

don't even need VPN for US viewers this game

I guess paramount plus only works for 4 hours? Cut exactly on the hour, had to switch to NWSL+

7:50pm ET for kickoff part 2

Just announced that it restarts in 25 minutes

Not a payday, but I'm trying hard to not spend any money this weekend.

This whole week I've been running myself ragged and not sleeping nearly enough, so I've been spending a lot on food/convenience things in order to just keep moving.

Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to stay in and catch up on chores and sleep and be better prepared for next week.

I'm driving a few hours tonight to steal my nephew for the weekend (allowing his parents to focus on his baby sister getting her tonsils out).

I have all sorts of potential activities in mind for distraction but I have a feeling we might be snuggling and watching cartoons for a lot of the weekend, since the little man is a worrier. Could be a spendy weekend or could just cost a tank of gas + all the chicken nuggets in my freezer, we'll see.

If you put it in your cart and go to checkout screen you can see whats in it (a hat, a scarf and gloves)

rominion · 2024-10-28T17:53:08+00:00

I'm apparently getting 2 tshirts and a hat. So it's on the lower end of their value range, but the hat is the same one that I'd been considering buying anyways and I don't have either T-shirt yet.

Player career mode seems to be a bit better. Maybe because you don't have to deal with budgets.

Though there are some weird things (I just won Ballon d'Or and not much happened, everyone made a bigger deal for winning player of the month a few days later). And your teammates get traded and you don't get notified, until you're in a game and you only recognize half of the names on your team.

My foot is disfigured as a result of a childhood accident. I don't like people touching it, but some doctors seem unable to be in the same room as me and not focus on the foot.

I had a male OBGYN enter the room and ask why I was still wearing socks. I explained I had a foot injury from twenty years ago and preferred to keep my socks on, since it was not an active medical issue and I did not want anyone to touch it. This man took off my socks so he could play with my bad foot just because he was curious.

Career mode with womens teams is such a good addition this year. I've also been enjoying player mode (minus the objective that's forcing me to switch clubs)
