I got my Girl Scout cookies.

The snow is finally melting.

I’m taking steps to get my health under control even though I know it will be a long road.

I have the best siblings who have teamed up to care for my elderly parent. It’s nice nobody has to carry the load solo.

We have the money to make emergency car repairs and to replace a major appliance that broke suddenly. There was a time this would have been a real financial hardship but today I am grateful that it’s nothing but a minor inconvenience.

This post put a smile on my face. I spoke your name into the wind and asked it to protect you and your family.

DW finally let me in her back door.

My daughter is super challenging and always has been. I try so hard but never know if I’m doing the right thing for her. One of her things is she talks a LOT and loudly especially when anxious. She plopped down at a table at the airport right across from someone and did her usual thing. When she went to the rest room, I apologized to the woman for the blast. She said she was in pediatrics and was so glad to see our interaction and how much we talked to each other. She said she just kept smiling because she was enjoying seeing it. Such a blessing. Has made the entire trip better because I’m in a better head space.

I know what you mean. Not there yet but hoping

I’ve recently had a scary thought how many problems are easiest solved with someone just… poof and disappearing. Sometimes they aren’t even bad people, just a general PITA and been around for too long.

I loved the kiddos but did not like the parents.
I felt they were lying to me as well as underpaying me.

I recently uncovered proof that they were not paying me completely so I quit.
On the spot.

They tried to act like it was a minor oversight on their end but I could tell they were lying to me.

I have been enjoying my free time since leaving.
In fact I have FINALLY deep-cleaned my entire house!
Even better I have removed all of their toxicity out of my life too.

Great way to start off 2026! 🎆🎇🌠

I have yet to meet a nanny who doesn’t think she is underpaid

This is particularly important to me because I am waiting for a green card and cannot leave the US, and he's in my home country. The last thing I wanted was to throw away my green card endeavors to fly to his deathbed.

Now hopefully I can get that damm green card before anything worse happens to him.

No decent parent would want you to throw away your future to be at their death bed. Just sit tight! Life is for the living

They got dressed and went to the mall. He said, “Pick out several outfits with matching shoes and get some diamond earrings.”
She found all her items and held them up so he could see and she said, “Okay, I’m ready for you to pay for it.” He replied, “I never said I was going to pay for it. I just wanted you to hold it!”

PP, are you an old man? I ask because this is exactly the kind of inane and sexually tinged "jokes" that all the old men in my dad's adult community in FL constantly tell. They are all irrelevant at their age and obviously sexually frustrated, I guess. I cringe for them when I hear them and am having the same reaction to your post.

Aren’t they too old to be sexually frustrated? This new idea of 70+ people having sex is absurd

It started with my kid being sick and missing some final days before the break and having to make up those tests which got me frustrated.
The happy thing though? Instead of the obligatory visit to my elderly parent I got to tell him we are quarantining out of concern for his health and are postponing the visit! Glorious!

How does this happen? Don't you go right from Order to Pay to Food?
(I don't go to drive thrus much!)

There are 2 order stations, after which the cars are supposed to “zipper” into one lane to pay and pick up.

Usually there is no problem, but sometimes things get a little confusing & there is an opportunity for somebody to be a dick & pull ahead of where they should be.

I am not trying to be snarky (honestly!)

But I don’t get the punchline here……🤦🏼

It’s okay… Wifey just wanted to be held when hubby wanted to get lucky. So, instead of buying her the outfits, shoes and diamonds, he let wifey just hold the stuff.
That’s the best explanation I could give. I don’t write the joke…

Well consider that jokes which equate women to inanimate objects, and question their right to bodily automate are not funny in 2026.

Which brings up the question a lot of guys have: women often claim they want to be appreciated for their brains & not their physical attractiveness; yet they spend billions on cosmetics, weight-loss, fake eyelashes, spanx, hair care, clothes, cosmetic surgery…far far far more than they spend on anything having to do with strengthening their minds.

I had a big overseas holiday planned starting yesterday. Got to the airport checkin and was told I didn’t have proper documents so I had to miss that flight and rebook. Cost an extra $800

The good news is I just dug deeper into my pocket and was able to pay it. I depart tomorrow.
