Ooooh our niece's friend is selling her Peloton and niece asked if I was interested. I don't know for how much. I'll have to look and see what used ones usually sell for.
Make sure you check what model it is as that will change the price.
In 2012 or so, we bought 5 shares of Tesla stock at $160 each. Earlier this year they did a 5:1 split so we now have 25. As I type this, each share is at $1028. This is crazy!
I'm feeling very grouchy this morning. My H was being a dick all weekend, I got a short story rejection late last night just before I went to bed, and I woke up this morning with my left eye all itchy and swollen. My eye has been bugging me for a few days, and I have Rx eye drops on hand for this sort of thing but they don't seem to be helping.
Oh, and our power has been out for about 21 hours. We have a generator so it's fine, and our internet has stayed up, but all of the LED lights in our house flicker when we are on gen power and it's doing bad things to my migraine prone brain.

My SMIL is a snatch and I hate her.
She loves to stir the pot. My MIL was watching our kids this weekend while we were away and MIL posted a pic of her and the kids to Facebook. SMIL saw it and pounced, sending a bunch of texts to MIL about how we must be mad at SMIL and FIL because we never ask them to babysit and never go see them and never call and blah blah blah.
She does this so MIL will tell H who will tell me, we'll all get bothered by it, and start the communication chain. Nah. This ho sticks her nose in where it doesn't belong all the time. What kind of completely self absorbed twat do you have to be to believe that you're owed a visit during a pandemic, especially when you live hours away? No, you're not my first choice to watch our kids! You suck! And do their phones only work one way, because I thought they could call us, too?
I will sit back in the satisfaction of knowing our silence is driving her crazy right now. And tomorrow. And next week. And forever and ever amen.
The dogs were super weird all morning...Anja was really whiney and Fiona was super grumpy. Usually on Mondays they sleep all day to make up for the weekends, but this morning they wouldn't settle down and Anja kept doing stupid stuff (like stepping on Fiona, and then trying to lay down on her), so I had to stay close to try to keep things calm.
At some point, I left the room and when I came back in to sit down, I saw one of Anja's morning meds on the sofa. No wonder she was such a squirrel..no doggy Prozac this morning! Poor baby. Once she got it and it started working, she was an entirely different pup...a not annoying pup. lol
DH had a hard time giving her meds this morning, and he knew that she had spit out a capsule, but he didn't double check to make sure that she hadn't spit out the pill as well. Grrr.
I have been trying to get birthday and Christmas shopping finished, and I can't find pajamas for two people. Why are pajamas so expensive, and why do they say stupid things on them? Oh, and why are women's pjs mostly baby colors, cats and snowflakes. That stuff is definitely not our style.
Why are my teenage grandsons ' lists so boring? They aren't boring, but one of them seriously asked for pants, shirts, socks, and underwear. What teenagers asks their grandparents for underwear? lol
Of course I may be biased on that subject, because one of my grandmother's always gave us underwear, but it was the wrong size. Mine fit my older sister and hers fit my mom, and if she got me socks my sister ended up with them and I ended up with nothing.

mommin that’s really interesting about the life altering events timeline. It explains so much of my mental state: infertility/IVF; PPROM; NICU; pandemic; DH’s seizure/brain tumor & surgery all in less than 18 months. I’m a wreck most days and feel like I should be okay now since we’ve come through everything with minimal long term effects. Except for maybe my mental health.
Speaking of procedures and stress- DH was supposed to get the “big snip” last fall. Then had his seizure 2 days before and obviously it was cancelled. The thought of getting miraculously pregnant on accident stirs my anxiety. And yet he keeps delaying asking his neurologist if he’s cleared to get snipped. Obviously this is also affecting our sex life. IDK I just needed to put this out there. I was supposed to have therapy today but she cancelled b/c of sick kids (which I totally get!) but now I’m all mentally pent up.
Yes—the backups were hacked except for the last one that was stored offsite…in February. 🥀
What a mess!
Apparently what these hackers do is hack in months before the actual attack so that the back-ups are all corrupt as well. No one would pay if you could just go back to last week's back-up and restore it all.
My husband spends about 10K a year on cybersecurity for his office. It's insane but hopefully we won't ever have to deal with this sort of thing.
Our 14th anniversary is in two days. I had planned for DS to stay with my parents so H and I could go to this cool hotel that has literary-themed suites and pretend we took a vacation but our senior dog is so sick we can't board her so I canceled. I think she has dementia - she cries (screams really) any time she wakes up and thinks she's alone. It doesn't matter if I'm in the next room; if DS isn't right there with her or she can't hear DH she just goes to pieces, especially at night. She's already blind and incontinent so dementia is just one other thing. Anyway, I don't think we have plans now because I'm 98 percent sure DH will do nothing. 🤷♀️
Saudade, I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this. You’re a health care worker, right? I cannot imagine being in that world right now. Hugs to you.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
If you and DH are watching the end of something (like the recorded news), and you are ready to stop it and move on to the next show, what do you say?
Instead of waiting 2-5 minutes for the segment to be over, DH says "Can we be done with this now?" And in a really annoyed tone, like he was so annoyed with the content of the show that he could not fathom that I was enjoying it.
I did stop the show, but made fun of him in a wormy voice of his demands. I think he was mad for a bit. Boo hoo.
omg, icedcoffee . that's crazy that a workplace doesn't have something better in place. I have three cloud backups that back up daily, one portable hard drive back up that I back up weekly and one flash drive that I back up daily. Clearly, it is my fear to lose my work, lol. the cavalier attitude is perplexing me b/c I would probably have a heart attack if the only back up i had was pre-covid.
I’ve been trying to get them to move to the cloud since I started but they say it’s not secure. ☠️
Bwahaha! Have they ever heard of Workday?!.! Ya know, fully cloud based Finance and HR system that is THRIVING with half of the Fortune 500 as customers. But yeah, not secure 🤔

I guess I was thinking the back ups would be some place more secure/separate and not as easily hackable? So wild that people can just do this.

I don't think the back-ups themselves are hacked but rather the business has been backing up corrupted files for months since they start with that and then do the full attack later down the road.
