THANK YOU, seriously. This is the situation that my husband and I have been in all our lives, and it’s true— people just don’t get it. We’re so far behind (financially speaking) other people the same age/location/education as us, simply because we’ve had to do everything with no assistance. It’s easy to gloat about…

Back in the mid-80s, this program earned me my first taste of Pizza Hut pizza too— we were extremely poor. I was already a voracious reader, so I didn’t even have to make a special effort! :)

Fuck.

Yes, Michael, please do keep talking. I’m listening.

Nailed it, as always.

Starred because I enjoyed that joke. :)

Don’t like quotation marks, huh?

The ones I bought were made by the same familiar brand, HotHands, in the same bright packaging. :)

The hand warmers don’t have adhesive. These are specifically for toes. They’re square on one end, but the other end is curved to fit inside the end of a shoe. Those do have adhesive, so they stick to your sock and stay in place.

I know I’ve said this here before, but... A couple of years ago, I was pulled over for having expired registration. To make things worse, when I pulled out my license to show the officer, we realized that it was also expired. Both the license and my registration were expired by around a YEAR, not just a short period.…

Aw man. We had one of those when I was a kid. It was even brown.

Boy, it sure is a good thing that all children obey all commands all the time.

And here some of us would be happy if we didn’t have to work two jobs and worry constantly just to KEEP a 600 sq/ft apartment.

Wooo, I’m super smart! I also hide money in old Crown bags. I like purple.

They seriously think they’re Christians.

How I wish we had about fifty of her! Sometimes a giant pain in the ass is EXACTLY the right thing to be. :)

Yeeeeah that’s not right.

Hey, me too on pretty much everything! I’ve realized that once my body decides it’s time to bleed a bit, it won’t give up on the idea until I take a short pill break and let it do its thing. Then I’m good to go for several more months. :)

Sad but all too true. I don’t dream much anymore.

I feel exactly the same way. If I didn’t Kinja, though, I might think I was the only one. Out here IRL I’m surrounded by idiots who think everything is fine, or at least no worse than usual. I’m so tired.
