yes, thank you! First tequila in 2 weeks, I'm breaking dry January this weekend (the 1st anniversary of my brother's death - head pats not expected, but won't be turned away either). ❤️❤️

👋 has 2 MAs that I paid cash for while waiting tables 3 nights a week.
I make less now than I did then working 40 hrs a week, but I have health insurance!
My H still works in the service industry and makes at least double what I do in 30 hours a week.

Has everyone received their $600 already?? We haven’t. We haven’t. It was sent to the temporary account taxact used for our return last year. The president of the company put out a statement and said it will be direct deposited, but it won’t go out until end of January at best, or starting Feb. 1 😞

It’s everyone’s 90000 yr old grandpa who inexplicably gets an IPhone for Christmas from a relative that only visits twice a decade. Grandpa just now learned how to access the cable guide. we have a long running joke with MIL... When she first came into FB it was when the page post option said "what are you up to" or whatever it was. MILs first post was "Not much, who is this?" 🤣 We still say it regularly. H’s grandma picked the wrong high school when she set up her profile. Same name but one in a different state. This became very important to her one day because as an 85 year old woman she felt she was going to miss out on connecting with her high school buds. So several times she wrote posts that read: “Dear Facebook, I did not go to xyz high school. I went to abc high school in X, California. Please correct this error immediately. Sincerely, grandma’s name”. The posts got increasingly more pleading. My H had to go to her house and just fix it for her because no one could explain it to her over the phone and she was really mad at FB for ignoring her.

jaygee that makes me want to hug your husband’s grandma. Can you imagine living your life and having to figure out Facebook at this point? I joined Facebook early when they tied it to colleges. Back then people could add their college courses and it would link them to others taking the class. Also poking was big.

When I first came to Germany as an exchange student, my 88-year-old grandma decided she needed to learn how to use email to communicate with me. ❤ After a few weeks, she complained to my uncle that she had to keep her messages so short bc there was almost no space to write, and all my messages were being cut off by the Internetz. He went over and showed her how to use the scroll bar 🤣 But yeah, she was not a US senator.
Also, I worked for a professor getting ready to retire. He had tried a computer once and decided it wasn't his cup of tea. So each morning I worked, I printed out every single email he had gotten and set them on his desk. He would write his reply below the email and put it on my desk for me to type up and reply 🤣🤣 He was super sweet, though, so I didn't mind being a glorified secretary.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on olds and computers. I do not envy them having to learn such a life-changing technology at that stage.

This fills me with a rage I can’t quantify. Like if I think about it too long, I’ll probably get a stomachache. That sounds so dramatic but the death penalty is one of my political hills.

Oh anecdotes about education and pay? My husband has a bachelors and makes a couple grand more than me and my law degree. Granted, this is because I chose the public sector. It does make me laugh though. I will probably eventually surpass him a bit but not by the dichotomy of if I had I chose the path of private medium/big firm life (shudder).

The rush to execute as many people as they can while they can is actually evil. I don't want to hear one fucking word about the Bible out of Bill Barr's hoar mouth.

I want to take a bath in this calm normalcy Following Biden, Kamala, Pete, Stacey etc. is such a breath of fresh air. Biden’s social media is so normal and calm and thoughtful. It’s like a warm blanket. Lol.

It’s just....unconscionable. and I agree, a true Christian perspective should be 100% anti death penalty.

I’m lucky to work with a group of people who all have the same drive to help the community at large and continue to brainstorm ways to improve.
