I love cast iron and my gas, non-glass cooktop. I hated that glass cooktop thing, glad I left it behind.
We did not want a glass top stove at all, but we don’t have a gas hookup at the house and all the electric stoves are glass top now except for the super cheap ones.
I have been SO stressed lately bc of wedding planning. So much so that I've literally been waking up in the middle of the night with my mind racing with all the little things I need to get done in the next 12 days. Last night I actually fell asleep early (like 11pm or so) just to wake up around 4:15 and then not be able to go back to sleep.... It's going to be a looooong day.
On the plus side we're seeing Wu-Tang tonight, except that all I can think about is how much shit I should be doing instead of being at a concert.
My current car has decided that I need a new car. I don't want a new car. I've worked hard to build a life with my current car. I'm too old to start over again.

Went to the doctor for a follow-up on some previous visit. Sat there for about 15-20 minutes talking about stuff, gave some blood for tests, and got a flu shot. Now I owe $330. I have terrible insurance through my job with a high deductible. I have multiple other issues and things I want to get looked at or worked on but this is the kind of thing that keeps people away from the doctor. I literally can't afford to take care of my health. I need a new job (for a variety of reasons).

After years of buying concert tickets from internet strangers I finally got scammed, and it was pretty obvious in hindsight. $40 isn't the worst but goddammit I'm so pissed right now lol.

I've had nothing but good experiences buying below market tickets off FB/CL except one.
In 2014 I bought my Bonnaroo ticket off some lady on Facebook. She was supposed to mail it to me but "didn't have enough money" so we agreed I'd pick it up from her in Tennessee. Admittedly pretty dumb of me to agree to that haha. I drove from Portland, Oregon all the way to TN. 2000+ miles. Along the way my car broke down which put me in a tough financial position but I still had some money and got to TN in time. Oh and I got sick along the way haha. When I got there I called and texted but she'd disconnected her phone and wouldn't answer emails. Then she blocked me on fb after claiming she'd done nothing wrong.
I had to pretend to get a lawyer just to get my money back. Basically she used what I paid her as a short term loan to pay her bills and then used my ticket to go to Bonnaroo. I couldn't afford to go anymore so just camped out for the weekend. For like a year I fantasized about getting revenge on that awful person haha. The only good thing that came from it is I messaged like 100 of her friends explaining the situation. A few of them responded by telling me what an awful person she is. Those that didn't already know this now did. I looked at her fb a year or two ago and saw she got divorced. That made me happy. Fuck scammers.
Went to the doctor's this morning. Still broken. I broke my wrist on June 9. This is crazy. I am being told to start the bone stimulation again, have another appointment in 3 months. If I am still having nerve damage issues, pain and movement issues I will get a CT scan. Plus side is I start yoga again today. Hopefully that will help with movement and strength. I can't hold myself up, pull myself up or carry anything with any serious weight yet. Trying to be optimistic but after 7 months it gets kind of hard.

Apparently, I’m essential, which means that if the shutdown lasts past next Friday, I get to join the ranks of people coming to work without pay. So that’s fun.

Oh damn this sucks. And I don’t see an end soon. I’m so sorry.

That is horrible. My co-workers husband is in the same boat. I hate that this affects so many people and that it might last longer than necessary.
First week of December I looked over at our dog on the couch and she could barely stand herself up. I took her to the vet the next morning and they said they don't see an ear infection, but it's probably a deep ear infection. After two weeks on antibiotics and a steroid she got a little better, but still not fully recovered. After another two weeks she's not as bad as she was, but still very wobbly.
Called the vet to bring her in, the referred me to someone that specializes in neuro. It's more than likely a brain tumor (estimated care in the 3-10k range). And I don't really know what to do with myself. This dog is mine and my girlfriends child, she's always been there for us and the sweetest animal that's ever walked. I can't really talk to friend about it because they can't see me cry. And I can't talk to her about it, because well, she's more upset than I am.

No, both sides seem pretty dug in, so I don’t understand how they get out of it. I had started accepting that it was going to outlast our money, but I was at least taking solace in thinking I wouldn’t have to come in while it lasted.
To be fair, the upside (and probably the reason we were deemed essential) is that we’re guaranteed backpay once funding is restored, but the furloughed workers are likely to get it anyway, so it’s not necessarily that much of an upside. (Although I’ll change my tune if the furloughed workers don’t end up getting their back pay).

That’s rough. Our dogs are our babies too, and it’s so scary when they get sick, trying to figure out the right thing to do for them. Sending good thoughts and hopes that everything turns out okay for you all.

You are going to have to make some hard decisions. I would get the diagnosis first. It may still just be a bad resistant ear infection. My cat has one that we have tried everything on. Even custom made antibiotics. All we can do is keep it low grade. If it’s a tumor, you have to decide if you can afford that. A lot of vets let you pay on installments. And if only if the outcome will improve the quality of life. It’s a very difficult call. I’m sorry you are in this position, but anyone with pets they love have been there. I had a cat named Apollo. When I lost him at only 4 years old, they almost had to make the hole big enough to bury me with him, I was so devastated.
Thanks fam, just needed somewhere to post. I think we're going to try to get her in Monday to get a diagnosis. Luckily we have the money to fight it because we've been saving for a house for the last 4 years, so we'll probably just push that purchase off some more. I don't think we'll put her through chemo if that's what it takes, I've seen how hard that is on family and I couldn't imagine her having to go through that, and having no understanding why.

A director of my grad program and the man who got me interested in my career path died this weekend. Fuggin shame.
Always liked that he made it very far in the sports industry (Browns, 49ers) then randomly switched over to working for that grad school in effort to help guide the next generation.

Late last night, I got a text that the 26 year old special needs son of one of my higher up bosses stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest yesterday evening. Her husband did CPR while she called the ambulance. They got his heart started but tests later confirmed he was brain dead. Late this afternoon, they made the decision to take him off the ventilator and he passed shortly thereafter. She's such a kind person and has always tried to give him the best life she could. To make it worse, she is retiring in ten days and one of the main things she was looking forward to was being able to care for him more without work being in the way. Just unbelievably sad for her.

So I ordered a Star Wars watch for Jeremy on November 20th. I noticed in December that I hadn't received said watch and that I hadn't gotten anything about shipping. So I emailed them about it. I got ZERO response from my first email so I responded to the email on my receipt instead of the one on the website and got a response a few days later. Turns out they over sold the watch I ordered and didn't let anyone know.
They offered me a new watch and two replaceable bands for the watch. I told them which one I would like and just got the watch today. It's the wrong fucking replacement watch. It looks cool but it is fucking yellow and Jeremy HATES yellow. I got the watch for 50% off to begin with but fuck I can't catch a break. It's too late to return and get the correct watch because his birthday is next Monday.
I have already bought other presents because I got the watch for so inexpensive but I am just annoyed over the whole situation.

Email them back where you told them which one and show them which color you got. They should send you the right one and fix it... Regardless of what kind of a deal you got, you didn't sign up to be stuck with a yellow watch.
I've had a terrible amount of gas chilling in my guts since the early afternoon and it refuses to leave. Either direction would be fine at this point; it's so incredibly uncomfortable.

What size and or type/style Star Wars watch you lookin’ to get? Pretty sure I’ve still got my Boba Fett 3-D hologram watch somewhere. Prolly just needs new batteries.
