Your first paragraph describes my mom pretty well. It may not have been physical abuse but there are definitely some permanent emotional scars.

My brother and I did something similar. When I was 10, we were on a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Out of boredom, we thought it would be so funny to write on a notebook “HELP WE ARE BEING KIDNAPPED” and hold it up as we passed other cars. Our mom wanted to know what all the laughing was about and then filled with the…

Thanks!!

Can you use Pasmo on the Skyliner? Or is the Skyliner a separate ticket?

WHAT. That is so incredibly messed up. adlfkjsldfjkg what is this world?!?

In some cases, they had people from the scammy company take online classes for the students to bring up their grades. Ugh.

What a beautiful lantern!!

Sorry to hear about your obviously good girl, hoping for the best! Here is my Tiger going for a car ride:

So professional!

I’m on the finance committee for a local non-profit and one of our big ticket items this year was an across the board salary adjustment for the staff. It was a fair amount of money but we recognized that if people aren’t paid a reasonable wage, there will be no one to carry out the mission and everyone loses. I get…

Brought peace?

Ok, your second paragraph is the best explanation I have ever seen of how all of the different pieces of an insurance plan work. I *finally* get it now, and I’ve been working (i.e., with insurance plan) for over 10 years.. Thank you for that.

I got shingles a couple years ago when work was super crazy. The doctor’s parting words were, “Try to relax and keep your stress levels down.” I wanted to scream, “Do you think I WANT to be this stressed?!” But I know she was just doing her job.

JFC. That is insane.

Yes because medical costs here are so high - high insurance premiums, high deductibles, and high post-insurance adjusted expenses. Even with a good salary, great insurance, and lots of savings, I am TERRIFIED of getting a serious illness or injury. And for those with shitty insurance? I cannot even begin to comprehend…

I used to think running without music was for the insane. Then, I signed up for Hood To Coast, which does not allow in-ear headphones and I was not about to plop money down for some AfterShokz. Training for that race forced me to appreciate the sounds of nature/my own footsteps while running and it’s pretty rare that…

She is so pretty! Hopefully, after the initial transition (and stress farts) they become bffs :) Did you intentionally pick a female grey? Or was it more of she happened to be one that Moss got along with upon first meeting? Tiger gets less jealous when we pet other female greyhounds, so we’ve kind of ruled out…

Omg congrats!! We've tossed around the idea of getting Tiger a buddy but after almost 4 years, we think he's gotten to used to being an "only child".

Here is Tiger living his best life.

Wait, how do I remove them? I discovered the same thing just now.
