Gen X trying to find relevance. I have a husband, 3 sons, and a best friend who lives too far away from me. Introvert who needs distance. No touching.

We went on vacation out of the country 2 weeks ago and got the unintentional food born prep that lasted 10 days.

I got mine 3 weeks ago so I'd have protection while on vacation. It took a bit of work to find a place that had it in stock and accepted my insurance.

I'm very interested in this "butter" from virgin cows. The cost must surely reflect its rarity.

I am so grateful my sons are wholly un-tempted by online gambling, sports betting, and prediction markets. They might do the occasional stupid thing. But they don't do that stupid thing. My youngest even mocks my math skills when I buy my semi-annual lottery ticket.

So our tailbones are just going to always hurt when we sit for the rest of our lives now? Is this not a problem others have?

I'm very curious if this is a reporting issue. Does the U have a staggering rape problem or are those students more likely to report than other schools? I don't doubt Utah's culture of repression leads to more sexual violence but to be that much above other much larger schools is shocking.

Or they can take on a lot more responsibility for the same pay They are all getting out at their 1st opportunity and transferring their skills to the private sector and rake it in. Probably doing the same job as a contractor. And good for them being active duty should not be a financial punishment

My dad put away so much money for retirement. He died suddenly at 74. My mom had dementia and died at 78. Despite all the money that went to her care there was still a LOT left when she passed. My brothers got most of it but I'm using my inheritance to travel. I'm not guaranteed time.

I have biked in the Nethetlands in the winter. It's cold. The rain comes at you from every direction. It can be icy. It's windy. Did I say cold. You just dress for it and get on with it because the infrastructure will support the bike commute.

Grocery stores shouldn't have top shelves. They need more bottom shelves. Step down if you need to reach that.

Because the really uptight religious people left Europe and settled in Boston. With all their uptightness. Which was so tight we haven't been able to loosen the bindings in 400 years. Your welcome, rest of the world.

I would like to apologize to my mom for participating in colorguard and having 6 am practice 3 times a week I needed transportation to. Also winterguard, with the same schedule but during the winter. In Cache Valley. In the 1980s.

We can't even guess what our withholding should be b/c it seems every year there is a new surprise in our income. Last year we suddenly had to pay income tax to 2 states instead of one. Or this year, husband's company decided to transfer options to stock and we had a windfall we can't budget for

Birthday color chart mine is Elderberry. Which appears to a very deep plumber red almost black color. Possibly the same color as Elderberries. I don't know. It also claims my word is Loyalty.  And that I am faithful to the end, despise betrayal, and am stupidly devoted.

Do they have to get the ok from headquarters to do this or has the area rep gone rogue? Not that that makes it better. Just wondering if there is buy in from Oaks et al.

I also look at Chemtrails. When I'm laying in my hammock on a sunny day. I like when there are a lot of them and they cross over each other. Sometimes I take a deep breath in. Just in case.

Gas is $4.79/ gallon in Utah today. And that's with a 6 cent tax pause from the state. Otherwise it would be $4.85.
