My mother-in-law thought she was badly allergic to cats for 75 years. She’d take a bunch of allergy meds before she stopped by. Then she did some cat sitting for us and got acclimated to them. Now she’s off her meds and is fine unless the cat puts his tail in her face. She'll even pet him sometimes and watch TV with…

What did you do?

I had a cop fuss at me when I got out and stood up the hill after my car was totaled. Screw that though, I lived in Tampa and broken down cars on the bridge were regularly hit by distracted drivers. The poor souls were often under the hood looking when someone veered off the side of the road and plowed the car into…

I attended the funeral of someone who had shot themselves in the head. I guess they did a good job with covering it up (the hole out the back was hidden), but he looked sooooo old in the makeup. It didn’t much look like him.

Millenials are about 1981 to 1999.

I want to attend a Death Cafe.

One of the things I hear around the office are middle-aged white women asking each other who the hell voted for Trump. They don't know any woman who would have done so. They're genuinely stumped. Meanwhile I can think of many.

I’m tempted to install an app to block news and social media websites for the next week.

I got a rollable water bottle from REI. It takes up very little space in my bag when not in use.

I’ve been on a search committee this year. It was the first time I’ve seen all the applications that came in. Most people either didn’t include a cover letter or just summarized their resume. Only two came in that said why they’d want to work for us. All of the resumes except one completely ignored most of the job…

I’m going with leggings and tunics. When I outgrow my regular shirts, I’ll switch to wearing my partner’s button downs. I’m all about comfort and not spending a dime more than I have to.

I’m a big believer in underwire, but halfway through the day I'm dying. I feel like the wire is halfway through my skin.

I got my heart crushed by freecodecamp.com. I breezed through then got stuck in a JavaScript problem which jumped multiple levels overhead of what they had taught you so far. I checked the forums and still couldn't figure it out. Ended up quitting 

I'd love to read an in-depth book about American vs. European habits like these.

I got a $50 one (Razor Snake or something). It’s about the size of a portable hard drive. It can stay charged in my trunk for months at a time, though I recharge it every two months.

I just read this over the weekend. It'd be easy if I didn't have pets who insisted on free roaming the house at night.

Because not everyone has the time, money, transportation, stable housing (i.e. homeless), personal security (i.e. a non-abusive situation where their personal documents weren’t seized by the other person), or capability to get an ID.

Pretty much. In NC, the last Governor was a Republican who fought tooth and nail to not get booted out of office. He dragged it to court though he had clearly lost.

I’ve unfortunately had to end many friendships once they let their racist flag fly. I can't stomach someone thinking people deserve to be murdered for the color of their skin.

Same here. These files were created in Google Docs and were opened many times and edited. I went to read one a couple months later, it loaded and then the screen refreshed. I was sent back to Google Drive. That whole week of work is gone.
