KittenBiscuits

That’s pretty smart! Would be a good travel size. I like the nostalgia of a cookie tin but yeah, not very portable.

Don’t forget to pick up a tin of cookies at the dollar store when you get your kit. You get snacks and a place to store your sewing supplies that is needle-poke-proof.

37 was one of my better years. I had disposable income to go do whatever stupid hijinks I could think of. I did start seeing less of my friends who had started families. But I also switched jobs to do new interesting things. We did lots of concerts, community events, I took photography classes. It was great. I enjoyed my thirties.

My forties have been very rough though. And that could just be from coincidence of life events happening. I’m actually looking forward to 50. I am hoping my 50s are like my 30s, just a tad slower. And my friends are coming back on the radar as their kids are leaving for college.

I used to get somewhat concerned about the remaining time I have left, but I must have somehow come to terms with it. I look back on the last 25 years and think of all that has happened. It feels like both just yesterday and “damn, that was forever ago”. The next 25 may feel just as long and be just as full. I’m ok with that. I’m just trying to enjoy the ride.

Oh lawd Jesus, this probably is the future.

It doesn’t. The naming and shaming is claimed to be a deterrent. But the juicy gossip is too loved by the law-abiding folk for the elected Sheriff to consider not doing it.

Tree frogs like to hang out on my windows at night (aka the bug buffet). And the cats absolutely love to watch them. If one gets within arm’s reach, they will try to swat it, not realizing of course the frog is on the outside.

One time a frog did sneak inside and found out that the air conditioning wasn’t worth the death wish.

You are the first person I’ve seen in the wild to recommend OGoA. This makes me so happy!! I stumbled upon them via Kickstarter when they did their TTRPG and found out the writers are from 2 towns where I have also lived.

My husband & I call the ones out front like that “radar detectors”. We are watching.

Also, we can’t have actual radar detectors here. Waze reports are a godsend.

Yes, hi, we do exist. And we were trying to get CEO to implement a hybrid policy for years before covid. He hated the thought. And he was the type of person that would not hesitate to fire an entire department if they felt bold enough to complain about it. When I started there, I didn’t immediately report to him. Anyone there who had a layer of management between themselves and him had a pretty ok work experience there. Direct reports to CEO basically had to manage a toddler who was also the emporor with new clothes. I took the promotion to be his whipping post because I wanted to leverage it to move on. Instead now I have PTSD from an abusive boss and am not able to work full time.

tl;dr – the C suite does discuss things amongst themselves with and without the CEO. But CEO already knows what they want to do, usually can’t be swayed, can only be warned what the consequences of their decisions will bring.

I just spent a few days sitting with my FIL in hospital. We binged Gunsmoke. I am a reluctant fan of Festus now.

• do they have you scheduled for any sight-seeing like CT or MRI scans?
• can you order UberEats to your room? I watched them come and go frequently and wondered if it was for employees, inmates, or both
• do you ask all the nurses for crunchy ice?
• have you asked that one nurse for a bed bath?
• are most of the nurses pregnant like they were at my hospital? Wtf is in the water?!

Fall risk?

Krylon makes “marking spray chalk” that is temporary and takes anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks to fade. It’s what we used to paint the train tracks on our parking lot for a kiddie train at our fall festival event.
