Unless we have a catastrophic medical emergency, I do already know what our tax bill will be, within $250 or so, which is close enough to plan for. Good for me, because we are definitely paying more this year than last year.

One of the second couple may have had a disability that requires the presence of the spouse? My in-laws still travel a little bit, but my FIL is in the middle stages of Alzheimer's and my MIL sticks to him like glue to keep him safe and from getting agitated.

The only explanation I can think of is that one of the second couple needed assistance? My FIL looks “fine” but he’s in the middle stages of Alzheimer’s. He has to have my MIL with him at all times. They are still living together and doing some light traveling, but he can get lost in the grocery store now, so she is…

I also moved from Az to steamy hell (chicagoland). I don’t sweat much which helps. Don’t know how to teach that though, sorry.

Its a death of sorts. It's okay to be sad, even if ending the relationship was for the best.

For some reason, this post makes me think of that comic "If Breaking Bad happened in Canada."

I’m confused, because I thought that waitresses were supposed to tip out the bartender for making the drinks for their tables?

Maybe it’s a false memory, but I seem to remember a condom commercial that was basically a couple lying in bed listening to an infant scream its head off...

My body temp is normally 96.7 and I’m not cold. If anything, I’m too warm all the time.

I’ve first hand witnessed a lot of black people with severe medical issues being literally ignored in an ER. The worst was a woman in active labor being told to shut up. Her baby was practically crowning and they were trying to make her fill out paperwork before taking her to L&D.

Yup. My hearing is technically “healthy” but put me in a room of people talking, or even on a playground full of kids, and I get an urge to start carrying an ear trumpet everywhere.

If you live and work in an urban center, it’s not so bad. But when I lived in Phoenix and worked in Scottsdale, to get to work an hour late (9 am instead of 8 am) I would have had to leave my house at 4:30 am. If I drove, I could leave at 6:00, stop by the gym halfway there, work out for an hour, shower and dress, and…

The hat feels very “Pretty Woman” to me. I like it.

It seems like he’s mocking Nazism and teasing his girlfriend about her ugly pug. Pugs are one of the ugly-cute breeds that have no place among the beautiful Aryan dogs, you know.

I hear all these stories about lousy workers being protected by “the union” yet all my own personal experiences is that a crappy worker will be booted out by popular opinion of his or her co-workers.

The 2018 version of balancing the checkbook is reconciliation. It’s the same thing, only done in Quicken, MSMoney, or similar account tracking software.

My sister and I were totally Thing 1 and Thing 2.
