I keep some of them. They are in the truck. I normally stream off my phone, but we take the truck places that we don’t have cell signal or WiFi.
This. There are times where I travel outside of cell/WiFi service like up through mountain ranges. I keep CD's in my car to listen to when the service drops off.

I used to fly a lot--and in tiny airplanes in icky Alaska weather. I never encountered any threat of a crash or mechanical issues. I just tell myself that stepping off the curb and getting hit by a car or being in a traffic accident are FAR GREATER than any flying issues. I also found that closing my eyes in turbulence helped. And I did pray--but that's just me lol
I never did the Xanax thing but I certainly support anyone else needing to take it.

Just got done watching the movie. I liked it--I haven't read the book yet but I'll add it to my list.
The only thing that bugged me about the movie is why did no one have life jackets on? Getting dumped in the river would have probably killed them all with the cold and all.

Generally, they give us a few small gifts and some money for Christmas. This year, they gave us small gifts but no money. I don’t know if they forgot, or whether that’s all they intended to give us.
I can’t ask, can I?
no! do you really think they forgot?
It's possible they didn't have the funds to give you money. I highly doubt they "forgot".

Typically I don't do NY resolutions, but I have a daily reminder calendar now so I'm going to keep track of them. I made an effort to make them easy:
Organize my basement (I still have a lot of boxes and bins of unpacked stuff since I moved in August '17); Walk one mile twice a week; and Make no unnecessary purchases (clothes, purses, shoes) in January;

This may be more of a vent than a flameful, but I don't care. I am kind of fed up with my mom's bitching about the lack of or too small COL allowances for social security over the past few years. Other than my promotion, her COL allowances have exceeded my raises. She also has a pension and has a better retirement and I and most people I know will ever have - and I'm not doing so bad myself. We just had this conversation again so that is why I'm bitching now. She was going on and on about how she worked so hard (which she did) and EARNED IT. I made some joking comment about how she will probably receive more in SS than she ever paid into it and then a more serious comment about how we all need to give a little and she again commented that "she earned it and she deserves it." Pretty much I want mine, fuck everyone else.
And no, my mom is not a Trumpster but it sucks to see this kind of attitude. This was not at all how I was raised. I could maybe see this if she were on a fixed income or SS was her sole source or income, but she's not.
I think that is the mindset to a lot of baby boomers.
Not just baby boomers...my mother's generation too. I think it's just something to bitch about and hope that others will commiserate...which people seldom do lol

Christmas was good. I went to my cousin's at noon, had wonderful chicken tortilla soup, then played a card game. At 3, I went to my aunt's house for a couple hours. Today I'm just going to shlep around the house in my pj pants. I'm kind of glad it's all over lol

I received an old landline phone (this was pre-cellphone days) and a box of Top Ramen noodles from the icky ex-boyfriend that I dated prior to meeting my DH--and that was it--no hidden surprise of some kind of an awesome gift. He really had a cruel streak--he laughed at the look I had on my face.

I went to Rite Aid and got a bunch of inexpensive head lamps, screwdriver pens, fuzzy Christmas-y slipper socks and sparkly gloves for my aunts, uncles and cousins.

Asking for a friend lol (NOT!) So I'm having an exchange party this afternoon. The plates of cookies will be on my dining room table. Should I leave the chairs in place around the table OR should I move them out of the way so the tops won't be in the way of reaching across the table? WWMLD?
(FYI: There will be folding chairs available for visiting in the living room)

I completely understand your reluctance, but I would power through the "I don't want to go" feelings and attend the GTG with your friends. You will NOT regret it.
