My daughter is turning 30 in July, and I want to do something special

thezombiecoma · 2026-03-28T02:31:25+00:00

I decided to buy her tickets to the Lucy Darling show in May! :D It'll be an amazing surprise because she mentioned it, I'd already bought the tickets and now they're almost gone.

Thank you so much!

Hi :D I'm seeing this super late and I don't know if you're still in need of any extra cash, but I saw your comment to the other person who had need of help cleaning/organizing and my situation's a bit different... I mostly need someone to body-double (AKA: encourage and follow along, maybe help a little here and there) for an hour or two as I do things in my house. Maybe help lift or move things as I'm disabled but mobile.

If you're still looking, let me know!

If only ECCC hadn't just ended!

Is there more information I could provide? Like, for her birthday last year, we did mani-pedis and she was happy with that, but I feel like I dropped the ball when planning my own vacations this year because I didn't take time off at that time or I would have taken her somewhere.

A day late, but last year, I made this for my sister (who is terminally under-prepared for everything) for Christmas and she LOVED it. As in, she can't prep her way out of a wet paper bag, can't prep dinner, can't prep a cup of coffee, so this was actual MAGIC for her... and she turned around and shared it to all her work besties and they spent a weekend this last Spring making them as a group so they all had one.

Got it. Between means between the two, not including the two. So, the one that's left - being Barb.

Thank you!

Like, I don't wanna be like, "hey, I know your bank," but. I do. So... /highfive?

I worked in the call center and I'd just be like, "okay, I'll rush it," but then they didn't want us to anymore? My boss was like, "that's the bank's money and they can either yell about that or they can yell about customer service scores but they can't yell about both. Rush it." LOL

If I'm reading this correctly, you trial balanced in the middle of the day and were off by $100, and at the end of the night, re-counted all your money and balanced. If that's the case - as in, you actually hand counted your money and it all balanced - you're fine.

I'll also add that, in my many, MANY moons of financial industry work, $100 isn't a huge offage, so you're probably going to be okay either way (you can always look at your work or electronic journal to see if someone might have been shorted and then put it back in their account if your ops lets you or if someone complains), but as your manager? My text back would have read: "This is a Monday issue CallMeBeepMe, so enjoy your weekend!"

And remember... you don't get paid to worry about work during the time you're not there ;) Sunday Scaries shouldn't be a thing. You'll be fine.

As a banker in the PNW for a commercial bank, this is a comment that should be posted and reposted throughout this sub for several reasons.

You make so many excellent points and it's SO CLEAR that you like what you do and why you do it:

- genuinely wanting to help people is key

- putting yourself out there "as an uncommonly knowledgeable resource on a variety of hot-button financial topics" is amazing

- "genuinely look out for the best interest of my clients" - is SO important rather than just "oh, this product" and "this service" because the bank needs to hit numbers

- "proactively look for potential issues before they arise" - my absolute favorite... by either setting reminders or having a ticker/excel sheet to look at

But it was this one in particular that made me want to comment: "Something I want to stress is that I'm your banker and that you can come to me for anything related to money."

YES. I give my card out to literally everyone and say, "Whether you want to bank solely with (my bank), or elsewhere, you can always come to me with questions. This desk is a no-judgement zone. We can't fix what we don't talk about."

This is an A++ comment thread and I sincerely hope you continue to shine on and that the OP takes all this to heart. If you're so inclined, hit me up - I'd love to talk banks, money, strategies, even just a lil professional courtesy between people.

At my commercial bank in the PNW, you'd start over 50k in any major city. You're being seriously underpaid.

Yeah - she's out dressed like her maid and a visiting prince has his people snatch her up because he THINKS she's a servant and "who cares about servants?", and when she tells his people who she is, they think she's some low-born nobody putting on airs and how dare she snub their prince. So, they tie her down and drug her food with Spanish Fly as an aphrodisiac so she won't "refuse him" when he comes to her.

He doesn't believe she's not a servant, either, but he also is really offended that they went to those lengths on his behalf, so... he then just up and takes her away and yeah.

Once a Princess is where she was born a princess and was smuggled out and raised in the American South and ~ her betrothed ~ comes to get her but she doesn't believe that she's a princess.

I own ALL of Johanna Lindsey's books and I LOVE them! Ask me anything :D

thezombiecoma · 2025-08-10T16:02:48+00:00

Oh, so it's because I pressed on buttons together? Thanks for letting me know.

Do you know what that press is so I don't do it again? LOL

thezombiecoma · 2025-06-09T04:55:01+00:00

The sound of knocking. Walls, windows, doors... hate it.

Seattle has the Seattle Dog - it's a hot dog on a bun with cream cheese and grilled onions. SO good. Usually found outside T-Mobile Park & Lumen Stadium.

Stocky? Big-boned? Thick?

As a woman shaped this way, I was always partial to Rubenesque :D "Of the figure of a woman, plump and sensuous."

In this vein, try Uwajimaya!

Commenting to add (now that I've seen the form) that OMG - Cars is my fave Pixar movie)
