I wish Judge Judy were the nominee...

I hope Mrs. Kavanaugh has a really good divorce lawyer

What size Instant Pot did you use? I have a mini, and think I’d have to buy a smaller roast.

Some of the positions I’ve applied for require essays and/or statements about various issues. I’m at the point where I’ve written on just about every issue there is so I can reuse some statements, but there are times when it takes me way too long to write the cover letter, especially if it’s for a different kind of…

When stating facts, you are just being factual. “My online store has over 24,000 sales, and is in the top 1% of all Etsy stores.” Practice saying that, and start talking about your Etsy store (not constantly), but start with friends or acquaintances that don’t know about it yet, or customers at the bar, so that when…

Tell them exactly that! You should include that in your elevator pitch. If you feel uncomfortable saying that, make business cards that include that information, or postcards or whatever it is that you hand out at networking events.

Hugs. I was laid off too, and it’s been a slog applying for jobs. I applied for unemployment, but was flagged for a hearing and they haven’t made a determination yet, so I’m pinching every penny so I can stretch my savings as much as possible. I have no advice, other than be kind to yourself. Hugs!

I”m thinking of watching the Jack Ryan series again, and Maniac looks good, so I’;ll be all over that when it’s available; I’ll probably binge on Luke Cage and then Iron Fist season 2. Why do I have so much time? I got laid off. There are only so many jobs to apply for (and I’ve applied for them all...)

But, without a trial, it will not be in the headlines during election season, so that might help Trump / Republican Party

And buy Swingline staples, cheap staples break and jam the stapler. 

Rain boots. I’ve gone through enough pairs of $25 boots from Target that sprung leaks within 2 years that I would’ve saved money if I just bought a pair of Hunters.

In your post you also mentioned drinking too much and online poker addiction, maybe he can start with going to AA or GA meetings? or going to individual therapy for those issues?

when you say he won’t go to therapy, does he realize how important that is for you? Would phrasing it as “if this marriage is important to you, come to therapy” get through to him?  (I’m not married, so have no proven advice to give)

I buy them in bulk at Costco. I might have a brownie problem!

gooey brownies are the best!

The Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownies are the absolute best and have been my go-to for almost 2 decades. If I can’t find that, then Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Brownie mix is almost as good. I tried homemade mixes, and the effort outweighed taste, every time.

Have you considered therapy, or anti-anxiety medication?

thank you for running

Congratulations! Here’s to many happy years in your new home.

congratulations!
