So it wasn’t enough for them to be assholes and fire/force her out of a job, but then they had to be super assholes and ruin her prospects for employment elsewhere? I hope this coach gets all the money.

Yep, the store contracts with local franchises to take the discount cards. Between Christmas and Thanksgiving groceries, I saved sixty cents a gallon the last time I filled up my family truckster and I made sure it was on fumes when I coasted into station.

That’s shitty. I haven’t seen that where I live. The various stores that offer this have deals with most of the chains. We have a huge spread in prices depending on where the station is, however.

Sorry. That’s about it. Oh, whomever decided that “staying for the children” was admirable should be subject to some kind of Ancient Greek mythology level punishment.

I love my “loyalty” program at the grocery store. They give me cents off per gallon of gas. Given my commute, my husband’s new commute (offfice moved), and driving two kids around saving between twenty and seventy cents a gallon is a good deal for us.

Yeah, I can totally hulk out like my folks if I’m not careful.

After ruining our childhoods (I have two siblings), my asshole parents finally divorced. And the asshattery continued unabated. And they made my 20's a living hell.

Exactly. She helped rescue the boys! And told them what to do. It was so inspiring.

Laughing at this triggered a coughing attack.

I change into sweats or flannels or leggings about ten minutes after getting home from work in winter. In summer, it’s baggy shorts.

Not only the quiet, but the lack of pressure to cook and keep the house clean and wear “real” clothes.

Ew. I hate that fishy sweat sock taste some whites get.

We got wine from my dad. So far it’s been so gross. And there’s so much of it.  

We did Secret Santa this year at the insistence of my daughter. Only my husband and kids - no visitors. Yes! And since I’ve been sick, I’m not cooking other than breakfast.

We have to wrap all the Santa presents tonight. Ugh. Luckily, it’s just paper and there’s beer.

I’m giving my husband a mediation retreat and airline tix to get there. I’ve wanted to do it for years but this is the first year we’ve had the wherewithal to afford it. And he really needs it.

I haven’t told my 8 yo. She’s so excited about Christmas and Santa, I can’t. She still cries about Han Solo.

We take our wrapping paper to the municipal compost site. They take almost anything made from organic materials. We stick a large bag or box off to the side (we have two kids so there’s a lot of paper) and toss all the wrapping paper into the container as we go.

I don’t know. You have to go through smile.amazon in a browser. I don’t use the app - I’m not sure of the difference between the two.

I do the national because they fighting the good fight all over.
