My son is a mechanic so it’s often chilly at work. He uses those rechargeable hand warmers in his shirt pockets.

I can’t wait to have French toast Saturday morning! Breakfast tacos Sunday morning! And maybe some beef bourguignon, chili, or chicken soup. The house i live in now was without power for 4 days in 2021. Fingers crossed!!
- Comment on US | Trump Claims 'Concept of a Deal' Reached for Greenland, Says He'll Cancel New Tariffs 1 week ago:
Fake solution to a non-problem.
I made a deal with my freezer so it would give up the chicken nuggets that i put there last week.
- Comment on YSK Tips for a Winter Storm 1 week ago:
Question for people who live in colder climates - why is it always so hot indoors? When I’ve been in new York, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc. in the winter it’s miserable inside. It’s 12 degrees outside and you step into a restaurant or shop where it feels like it’s 80 degrees. You’re immediately sweating because you have a jacket, gloves, etc. and you have to find someplace to put them.
- Comment on I'm about to get fired. How do I make sure my next job is a better place to work? 2 weeks ago:
Start looking, but let them fire you so you can get unemployment while you’re searching for something better.

True, but this guy was a stoned ding dong who was just doing what he had to do to make it through day after day coaching middle schoolers. One in five teachers are high, dumb, or crazy- or some combo. Some of those are really great teachers, some suck, most are somewhere between.

I used to work with a guy who i often didn’t understand. I thought he was cool or witty or smart and it was just over my head. Then i realized he was usually high.

Pleased to see that people are finally responding to these ‘jokes’
- Comment on Age, death, and inheritance. 2 weeks ago:
We did wills and trusts for our moms before they passed (i fucked up my mom’s trust and had to probate) but we haven’t done our own yet. That’s our January plan.
- Comment on Age, death, and inheritance. 2 weeks ago:
One stops by frequently and calls or texts daily (I’m home, Love you guys, cat photos, …). The other hasn’t spoken to us since July. This made me realize that we need to choose an executor that’s outside the family.

- Comment on A sampling of the responses to a tweet about ICE shooting out a 21-year old's eye in Santa Ana. 2 weeks ago:
Twitter was really good for following bars and music venues to check happy hours and concert dates. Not much use beyond that.
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 3 weeks ago:
That’s us. When we write reviews or share things.
Off topic- I never understand why people in commercials are so awkward when they recommend things. I send things to my friends all the time…check out these yoga pants with pockets, Kroger has blackberries on sale, look at Kitty Lulu in the new dog bed, etc. Why is it so hard for fakers to appear genuine?
- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a chance to look through? 3 weeks ago:
A topic comes up and I remember that I have a bookmark about that topic and that’s usually the only way I get back to it.
Occasionally I block off time, like 15 minutes, where I scroll through and delete the ones that I no longer care about. Kind of the same thing I do with emails and photos.
- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a chance to look through? 3 weeks ago:
I bookmark them and close them so at least they’re out of sight.
- Comment on You ban aid groups and press when you want no witnesses to your atrocities. 4 weeks ago:
We have that guy who wanted to not poop for 3 days.
- Comment on Say, the country/countries you have citizenship in, decided to not want you anymore and threw you to some random "3rd world country", how do you survive? 5 weeks ago:
I work in healthcare and husband works in engineering. Hopefully we could live cheaply enough to survive on the $ we have and possibly be viewed as helpful enough to the community to gain some level of security.
- Comment on “Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.” 1 month ago:
To put your own mask on first.
- Comment on I'm gonna need a walk-in shower soon enough 1 month ago:
We just turned a closet into a big shower- almot 5’ x 5’. Now we walk around and have conversations in there in the morning. Also, I’ve had two knee surgeries this fall and it’s awesome to have the extra space for a temporary bench and for my honey to step in and take my crutches.
- Comment on i'm gonna have to stand up aren't i 1 month ago:
I ordered some. Ok, but not great. Should have stayrd in bed.

Stay and vote!! Talk to your neighbors and vote!!

Start by posting a pic of a pet. You’ll get upvoted and will get over your fear. If people do downvote or complain, just let it roll off and try again.
- Comment on I hope Lemmy gets big enough to make the mainstream news... 1 month ago:
There was another one about a year ago about bluesky or madtodon that also referenced the fediverse. I’ll look for it.

Wow. You can fall into that and lose two hours in a few minutes.
- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 2 months ago:
Mortgage rates were in the teens in the early 80s.

I say all the time how expensive it is to be poor now!! You kinda need a phone; you might find a cheap car but the insurance will be $$; i can barely leave my house without getting on a toll road; you might find a cheap apartment but the rent will include $200 in fees. Every interaction is designed to be profitable for someone and we’re losing.
