We ordered it from Costco. They have a great return policy and will pick up things they delivered if you want to return them. Plan was to buy a mid price memory foam mattress and then, if needed, keep exchanging it for the next one up until we hit our budget limit. The first one was perfect! It’s been 9 years. I don’t know how long beds are supposed to last. We rotate it periodically and it’s still crazy comfortable.

Most days my husband. Some days my kids. Some moments my job. Every night i love how comfortable my bed is.

It’s a journey and you don’t have to fit into anyone else’s box. Anyone with a firm, unwavering belief has really just given up exploring.

I confused Steve Reich with Steven Raichlan (https://a.co/d/2WxRrOQ) while reading this. The idea of Chopin and BBQ blew my mind.

We go pretty frequently (about every other month), but less since covid and now mostly nationally touring bands. My husband often buys a T-shirt. We also like to go see live music when we’re on vacation. My son toured with a band for a couple of years. I know it’s hard when they’re not making much money- sleeping in the van (or worse) and eating what the venue will give them. How about you?

One spoon of pickle juice. Do not eat a pickle.

The good - Helped my son move, which sucks because i have a bad shoulder from a bike accident recently, but there were 5 of us (family) so i was able to stick to lighter items. Was nice to spend time together and support him. He’s been with us for the last 3 months and i know he’s ready to get back into his own space. Exhausted and sore, but feeling good for him. Also, have some restaurant gift cards, so I’m hoping for a cheap date tomorrow.

The bad - i have a cat that will not use a litter box and cleaning the floor beside/under the box every fucking day is making me crazy! Also, have a bunch of work to get done before Monday because I’ve been slacking.

Invite her for a coffee or soda or dog walk or whatever. Talk to her for awhile. Then tell her how much you enjoyed spending that time with her.

Political art and music encourage others to use their own talents to protest.

We should have a “what should i cook tonight?” community! Deciding what to make is the hardest part!

Thanks! Think you could pull some of of the freezer and fry it?

That’s perfect for the multi device with airfryer. You can get nice crispy tips.

My district just switched from MR to ID about 5 years ago. Our county still has mhmr services. I think they mostly just say the letters instead of the words but it’s what the public knows it as

First would be to avoid interactions with the police - drive extra carefully, don’t let your vehicle inspection/registration expire, etc. It’s probably no longer safe to stand in the day labor zones. If they’re working under fake credentials, it might be better to find a cash paying individual to hire them as an independent contractor. Feel out your school district - mine has said they won’t be reporting anyone as undocumented. They have started referring people for excessive absences the last couple of years (that’s about getting butts in seats for funding) so you probably want to avoid getting sent to truancy court.

We have this discussion in my house a lot. My husband built litter boxes for our cats. They would have to sell for $1000 to earn back the material cost and $5/hr.

We are on vacation and did a walking tour of the city tonight. It was so fun! The guide is doing this job while he’s in college. O was really impressed with the facts he knew and how easily he was able to connect with strangers. Interesting and good practice for future interviews.

I use publicdata.com. it’s ok.

Her parents hound them about having kids. We told them that the decision is too big for anyone else to push you into it. If they choose to, we will love them and help - but we’re not quitting our lives to play Grandma/Grandpa daycare constantly. If they choose not to, then we probably won’t have grandkids and that will be ok too. I think our other son might like to have kids but he’s nearing mid-30s and isnt seeing anyone. He says he’d prefer to be an uncle than a dad, but if he had the right partner i think that could change.
