Since the election I’ve been trying to figure out where to spend my dollars so that they do the most good. We’re donating more to charitable causes, but are also being more careful about our consumer goods spending so that our money is directed at companies that (hopefully) share our ideals. It looks like my daughter…

My dreams have gotten worse since election night. I’ve been alternating between Ativan and edibles just to sleep through the night. I skipped medicating myself last night and ended up having a dream that was a post-apocalypse scenario where the sun was gone, everything had been ransacked and everyone was just waiting…

Agreed, Pence freaks me the fuck out. What happens if he quits before he’s inaugurated? Does Pence become president?

Oh, man. You should have posted a trigger warning on that! Fortunately the memories are pretty fuzzy due to all the percocet.

No nurse in the room, but the look on my husband’s face was priceless! They ended up leaving mine in until I went in for my reconstructive surgery, so I was fully under for that shit. I was not looking forward to getting it yanked out. Congrats on being done with that phase!

Your portocath story beats the one I was going to submit. It’s not nearly as awful, but here goes. After they did the outpatient surgery to insert mine, the pain along the side of my neck was unbearable. I mean, percocet had no effect at all. For those who don’t know, the portocath has a long tail that goes into the…

The cat looks fine, but Jesus Christ, could you do something about your grout?

You’re painting a picture of her lady parts that I don’t want to envision.

that is unfortunately how I was picturing it. *shudder*

OMG. This is exactly my life! Have you been spying on me?! He is the best and worst! I’m glad you can’t smell his farts, though. That shit’s just wrong.

Sweet baby Jesus. I was wondering what the hell my third grader was up to. I guess that’s better than when he yells “hey brah” or “bruh” at us. I told him that if he says “chah” one more time (like Ryan Lochte), he’s dead to me.

It’s the “how nice” of the north!

Hahaha! Love this because it reminds me of my grandmother’s funeral earlier this year. We had a very limited relationship because she would use money as a weapon in order to get her way. Also, raving bitch. Anyhow, her friends kept coming up to me and saying how important family was to her. My answer was, “I’m so glad…

No need to pull over! Just run a Pokemon sweatshop in the back of your car like I do. I’ve started handing over my phone to my kids as soon as we get in and they capture all the stuff for me. There’s a buffalo looking thing (sorry, newbie) in the middle of a cloverleaf on the freeway that we’ve been trying to catch.…

It’s actually 8%. The 5% increase wasn’t approved. :-(

Unfortunately, we don’t have “just cause” eviction here. You can get booted pretty easily.

Not generally. Appraisers and real estate agents guard those things like gold. A portion of my day is trying to wrangle lease information out of people. If it’s a big enough company tho, a renewal might be mentioned in a market report. Depending on how interested you are, you could check Cushman & Wakefield’s site if…

I’ll tell you. I’m a commercial real estate appraiser in the Bay Area and appraise a lot of apartment buildings. I would say that most bottom-tier units - moderately maintained, mid-60's units in original condition - are occupied by at least two families. And even these doubled-up tenants are seriously priced out of a…

I’m not a Honda Engineer, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

Haha! Total user error. It happened to me with a Cuisinart pan. The handle was pointed sideways, so the thing shot across the room and hit the wall. It sounded like a car backfiring in my kitchen. I called the company, and they were all, “you weren’t using the pan properly, but I suppose we’ll give you a new one.” I…
