When we bought our house, the sellers were really weird, their agent ended up paying for some of the repairs, I think maybe he just wanted to get them off his books as clients. Seven years ago, and we still get their mail! 

Hey Friends! The weather has finally calmed down enough to return to my first love, bread.

My problem with buying a house is people aren’t just straightforward. They’re always trying to manipulate something. It’s unnecessary and just... ugh.

I think it’s a pipe dream. Sadly, Democrats will have to take the L and move on. She will be confirmed before the election. I hope this fires people up to cause a massive blue wave in November. It won’t save RBG’s seat but we still need it to happen for the good of our country. 

Bottom line -- could these strategies actually work, or are they a pipe dream?

Hi fellow SNS posters! I’ve had a really tough week, and if y’all are up for it I could really use some encouragement (sorry in advance for the lengthy post).

That essay is surprisingly self-reflective. Here’s how she ends that one:

I thought the whole, ‘move to Spain on a lark to avoid living like spoiled Americans’ bit was going to take the cake, no matter what came next. But honestly, I don’t think I can ever move past this line:

Handsome lads, the pair of ‘em. Congrats on the new, very much deserved position with health insurance and some stability. Denver is very fun, with a major league baseball team and other downtown amenities. Vegas offers bright sunshine nearly every day of the year and a dry desert climate. Is Celine still playing…

That pic is everything!

Gotcha—and yep, there’s nothing like a “stale” PhD (because lord knows people aren’t keeping current if they’re working sessional jobs like crazy, plus cranking out some publications—dear lord) to keep you out of the loop. This will look great on a CV while giving you some years of work.

Well done! Two birds, one stone + $5,000 raise - the rare employment trifecta!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on everything! You and Archie and King Charles deserve all the breaks! 

I’m so glad about Archie. That is wonderful to hear. As is news of the reprieve. Is it a definite term position with the possibility of becoming permanent?

Congratulations!!!

That’s fantastic! I let someone with just a few things go ahead of me (I had all the things) in the monster Wal Mart line.

Congrat-u-fuckin-lations! That is wonderful news!

Congratulations on the job!! Brilliant news.
