Who's watching Handmaid's Tale? Season 2 was released today so we'll be binging it tonight. I'd like to start it tonight, but I probably won't be able to really focus on it until the weekend. |

Hi hi. I feel and look like I've been run over by a truck. I got fb friended by a mom of a classmate and she promptly added me to a secret fb group that is mom's from J's school that go out monthly! I am probably the baby of the group at 35, but I'm excited to be included! I also need to finish a personal statement for this program I'm applying for..not sure they will admit me if I wait until the very last week to apply😬. Also not sure I want to do it, but probably needed before full brain atrophy sets in.. Both things sound exciting! What's the program? |

I am going to be the biggest disappointment at our gtg! Well, me and flamingo apparently.  Ha! Yeah, I usually stop at 1 on weeknights; I'll have more at a party or whatnot but definitely not a bottle. I envision most of these ladies being similar; if nothing else, everyone is driving so that kind of limits you right there. If I drank a bottle, I'd be flat on the floor for hours!! |

Glad they have a plan, tgrimes . Are you feeling a bit better about it? Yes, I am. I was fully prepared to appear on the evening news if he told me lets just wait it out again... I'd have bailed you out! |

wineallthetime not everyone drinks like you, me and tgrimes . :-) Although I agree with the 1-1.5 bottles per person. Some will drink none or maybe 1 glass, others, like me, could drink the entire bottle to themselves, given the opportunity. I am going to be the biggest disappointment at our gtg! Well, me and flamingo apparently. Neither of you (no one on the board) would be a disappointment! Besides, it's just more for me to drink! |

Firestone called and told me I need a few more things done to my car. Apparently I'm just giving away all my monies this month.  |

tgrimes do you trust the people at Firestone? I'd be pretty pissed if I took my car in to fix a tire and they told me a bunch of other shit that was wrong. I once took my old Jeep in to have the window looked at, as well as asked them to check all the windows (there was a manufacturing defect in the year I had and the windows dropped all the time). they called me and told me my oil smelled like gas and I needed an oil change immediately. I called H and he told me to call them back and tell them to fix the window but to leave everything else alone. They were just trying to get money out of me. I picked it up and parked it, H checked it when he got back in town and said everything was fine. They were just pissed because they were doing warranty work, which resulted in less money for the shop.

It's a technology management program..through work and online..and most importantly free. Funny that I can't even figure out how to post pic here though, yet work with tech loosely, lol. |

Tell them to just fix the tire and you'll have to talk to your husband about the other things. That's what I do until I can afford the other things. I don't really have to talk to him, I know more about cars than he does, but they don't know that. |

I’m sorry but tapa is annoying the hell out of me. It keeps sending me to post 36 or something and then, sowing things twice or not at all. I hate this update.

I hate car stuff tgrimes , and I'm always so hesitant to do stuff that "pops up" when I have the car in for something else. DH's dad is in the automotive industry and I think b/c of that my H assumes everyone is honest like his dad and is just naturally more trusting than I am. I always assume they're trying to pad the bill. FFWC: I usually call my dad about car stuff; I feel like he's seen more in his 63 years on this earth than my husband, lol. eta: when something *does* legit need to be done, I will call around and get several quotes--it's amazing how much of a discrepancy there is in pricing. Every Volvo dealer I've ever taken the car to is sky high. |

I took my van for a recall last month and the dealers "complementary inspection" found $179 in needed repairs. I'm glad I said no because the local mechanic can do it all for under $50.
Jean success today at BR factory outlet and shoes at Nordstrom rack. I also got lots of baby clothes.

Chick from the allergist office just emailed me for insurance verification. I tried to email her back what she was asking for, but it bounced back because her mailbox was full. Can I just leave this until I'm at the office tomorrow?

Can I just leave this until I'm at the office tomorrow? How many emails does one have to have in their inbox for this to happen? I can't even imagine! I'd call her and tell her you tried to email it, but will bring it tomorrow since it bounced back. |

I just found out my MIL had to put her dog down on Monday. She was very close to the dog. Would it be appropriate to send flowers?

MH (and A) went to workout together. He's taking the big kids to my in-laws because they want to spend the night. I'm feeding A with a glass of wine on the porch. So peaceful.
ETA: I'm feeding him a bottle. Feeding myself the wine, obviously.

So we had a photographer come take pictures of A. When she heard A was a preemie in the hospital she offered to do pictures for free once we got home. She was fantastic and we'll definitely use her again. I'd like to send her a thank you. What do I send? Cash? Gift card? Something else? I don't know much about her other than she has 2 grown kids and likes coffee. Not sure if she's a fan of a certain coffee place or anything. Thoughts?
