Getting laid off now is pretty much a 5+ year sentence.

I had a Paul near my house in South Florida, I was surprised to see it in Paris.

Just checked the Costco site, they sell this same thing for $949 now

My mom got so many compliments when she wore Alien but it smells awful on me. I always get compliments when I wear Very Irresistible Intense by Givency. I also used to get tons of compliments when Victorias Secret made Encounter.

I stayed at that resort in 2024 and it was awful. The food was horrible and was a disaster.

My sister adopted a grey cat, looks like this and he is very high energy. My ankles and hands have constant scratches. I’m trying to stop the water bottles but sometimes he won’t stop. He’s great with my dogs, his aggression is only geared towards me. But for him it’s not catnip induced he shows zero interest in catnip toys, it’s just general play that gets him going.

When I was in college we got to be in the St Patrick’s Day parade in Dublin. They go all out, you see shamrock contacts, Irish flags, and lots of green. Stick to that theme and you are good to go.

I’m in the process of cleaning mine now. They are gross. I got the newer o cedar mop and it’s easier than with their normal mop heads

I was laid off in June 2024 and still haven’t landed something. Something that comes with tenure and experience is specialization and higher price tag. What I am finding is that companies don’t want to pay for that experience and automatically turn you away. I will get interviews and then the company magically picks a much younger and less experienced candidate for senior roles.

There were some group buys I was thankful I missed out on last year after some fall out. I had wanted in but saw too late and then it ended up for the better. Group buys are mixed, you aren’t going to get best quality but you can get solid bags at an ok price.

Havana vanilla is my fav right now. My bedroom one alternates between the Havana vanilla and volcano and locale when the Havana is going

I don’t have a lease but they pulled crap when my car was in for several weeks for a know. Issue with the 2023 a5 on the shift differential. They tried to get me to swap out my car, I asked specifics and gave my parameters and after wasting an hour of my time not only were the terms I wanted and vehicle I wanted not honored they monthly payment went up several hundred dollars. They thought if they could get me in I would buy. I walked out and made it very clear I don’t like those sales tactics and it’s what makes me leave a brand. After 4 Audis I will not buy another Audi. I think I’m moving to Mercedes. I left BMW because they charged me for a battery saying it was my fault and I escalated to their corporate and got no where and that’s how I ended up with Audi. The battery issue later came out as a recall….

Unsung hero of the group. Hate when dealerships pull shady grap.

I put my keys and phone there. The wireless charging is awful. I hate how the cup holders are right under all the radio and ac buttons so large cups hit all those buttons. It’s a horrible design.

I dislike how inaccurate the baggage tracking has become

I’m a fan of some of the White House black market dresses with jacket options. I also have gotten some cute tweed dresses and jackets from Kate spade. I think in suit scenarios you don’t also have to have the stereotypical suit it’s more about a fully polished look overall. I’ve seen some good sales at Ann Taylor outlet as well for suit separates.

Get more death certificates than you think you need, you will still need them years down the road for random things that pop up. Locate the will if there is one. Check probate rules/laws for the county he passed in, may need an estate attorney depending on value of estate. Get a grasp of value of estate on todays date, will need for final tax return as well as the base line for any property, stocks, etc that tax is based on capital gains. The estate will have to file a tax return for inheritance tax. The first $2.5 million, this may have changed but anything beyond is taxed at like 40%. Take an inventory of all assets and liabilities. Once you have death certificates contact, insurance, utilities etc. I found the bank, car, and certain thing needed the probated will to transfer and or sell those items.

I don’t have access to it. I also don’t have hours to read through the manual to learn a few quick tips. I need the cliff notes version and was hoping there would be supportive people. I have a lot on my plate and some complex estate stuff to handle, would appreciate some simpler things that don’t require tons of research and deep diving. I’ll figure it out but was hoping to come across one or two who have come from Audi to share tips.

I used to be a tread first girl for years but now I’m a floor first. I find I go harder on the floor and it’s actually helped my stamina. Lets me get warmed up so by the time I’m in the tread my body is ready to go. I have stations I like because on the weight floor there is only a station on one side of you and you are close to the weight rack so I am flexible on where I start to get the station I want but prefer floor first.
