We won’t fight alongside you or for you. But we’ll yell about what we imagine you to be. Deal?

Sure is interesting how this gentleman, and most of the other veterans I know (myself included) have become this endangered species whose feelings and honor must be protected by the brave patriots in the bleachers and on twitter!

Grandparents? My dad served in Korea.

I served in the military during the Vietnam war, and my foot hurt too, but I served anyway.

This is a very good point, and I’m really trying so hard to be as understanding & patient as possible while also trying to mitigate my untethered anxiety abt once more being as poor as I was growing up. Some days are more successful on that front than others, unfortunately.

As someone currently out of work, I just want to say please try to be patient. Being unemployed does a number on your self-esteem and self-worth.

Started to watch PBS Newshour online, just a few minutes ago, and had to hit ‘pause’. Dolt 45 (stole that from some wag online—it’s so apt!!!) is just incredibly offensive in so many ways—his voice grates, his remarks offend and shock this viewer, as he intends. I deal with it by avoiding.

Bringing you out of the greys, and it’s early enough that a fair number of people will see this; you’re not poster number 872! ;)

Work is crazy, but I’m dealing. My union reps are raising hell with the executive director of our facility regarding both my caseload and the pressure I received regarding my vacation next month. I’m not sure what the plan is at this point but they’re working on something to get my caseload reduced to a more workable…

Calling SSA to report my new job so they won’t fuck up my spouse’s SSI. They make it fucking impossible to get a hold of them and I just hate every second that I have to even think about dealing with them. Boo.

Longtime lurker, first time poster (ahhh!) which means it’s likely no one will see this, but I really need to vent abt my life situation right now. My husband has been unemployed since April (we got married in May) and I’m starting to lose it. He’s been doing some intermittent temp gigs and has taken some interviews…

As some may know from previous posts my mum has been battling cancer for the last 20 years, breast cancer twice and then told last year it was terminal cancer and had spread to her bones. Sadly last week she passed away at the age of 70 whilst I was on holiday in Canada. She’d been a life long Frank Sinatra fan since…

Hi everyone!

There is a running bet on who is going to eventually pound his ass senseless. Smart money is on me. I can’t stand him.

This girl is coming home!!!! The insurance company approved home care for her, we’ve already met with a representative from the company that will supply her care, and it should be two more weeks until we’re out of the hospital. All the staff needs to go meet her first and learn her current schedule and preferences,…

This week we hired the adoption attorney to finally begin the process of adopting my daughter back from my parents. They adopted her when I was in active addiction and for a long time they acted like they were never going to allow me to have her back. It was frustrating but I respected it because they were there for…

It is no secret to anyone that I do not like Middle Daughter’s SO (or his family). He was supposed to go to truck driving school and start working so that she could reduce her hours without it hurting them too badly. He knew that he would be subject to drug testing. He knew that he would be driving 2 hours one way to…

I just got promoted to full-time! Extra vacation time, here I come!

My recipe for self-care in a world of chaos, Fiona, Kitten Lady and Hook’s Holland Lops videos on YouTube.

So because women were hired, you don’t care that they’re being harassed? Like if you want to criticize Harmon for quota hiring, fine. I disagree with you because I don’t think he set out to do that, but whatever. But none of the ire should be directed at the women.
