I voted "other". I'd wave if I saw them in the yard, then go over and quickly introduce myself. If they're in the process of moving in, I'd feel like I was taking away their time of unpacking.
But then again, maybe they'd welcome the break lol

Today is the 11th anniversary of the passing of my dear husband. I want to thank all of you who were there at the time helping me. You were who I turned to first in those early hours. God bless you.

Take it from someone who was married to a man who did not have a will, your parents don't want to have to go through probate if one of them dies first, or if your parents kick the bucket at the same time, you do NOT want to have to go through probate court yourself. It will cost the survivors money to do that, so they might as well pay the money NOW to have wills and/or living trusts drawn up.

I would much prefer the raise to bonuses especially for the long term. Bonuses are at times used to placate. The base wage increase can be more valuable with incremental raises.
Exactly! Raises will be cumulative-bonuses aren't. As a union rep, I always sought to keep away from bonuses because they're not really a "bonus" in the long run.

I'm judging the FB "friends" who replied negatively to my posts after the Kavanaugh hearing. One dude even had the nerve to tell me to ask my son how he felt about the subject. WTF? Two of the negative posters were women. Double WTF?

WHY do we insist on calling people like this “ill”? We’ve been through this a million times. People with mental illnesses are not criminals, and rarely represent a risk to others. She’s more likely just a BAD PERSON.
Huh? She is clearly completely out of touch with reality. She's also been treated a number of times for substance abuse. Do you really watch that video and think this is a woman who is not suffering from some kind of mental illness?
That doesn't mean she's not also an asshole or that people with mental illness are "criminals" (huh?).
I agree, most people with mental illnesses are not criminals. There are mentally ill bad people, but many, many are not. Practicing alcoholics and addicts are ill. Some are bad people but many, many are not. They're sick and need help. Mental illness and addiction are not moral issues in and of themselves.

I got my SECOND parking ticket for parking on the street in front of my house for over two hours. I was unloading some stuff this morning from the curb, and I had put a reminder on my phone to move my car to the driveway later on that morning.
At any rate, I totally spaced the whole thing. I was sweeping my front porch this afternoon and the thought came to me I needed to move my car. Just as I was "thinking" about it, the meter dude drove up and wrote me a ticket. Gah! I didn't argue or anything because it WAS my fault. You think I would have learned the first time this happened. Ugh.
ETA: If I live in this house for four years, I can get a special parking permit that will allow me to park on the street. Three more years to go.
How has your transition to retirement and the lower 48 gone?
Hi! Thank you for asking. It's been absolutely wonderful! I'm closer to my family, which has been a decades-long dream for me.
It was weird, at first, to have all that extra time on my hands. I felt like "I need to be doing something!", but I took up rock painting and hiding, and that eased my anxiousness a great deal. Plus I volunteer weekly at the library shelving books, and I work the door at the local jazz place every other week. I also am involved in Oregon AA here so all that keeps me fairly busy.

Oh hell no. And she's a jealous dick for even mentioning it. Unless she wants to pay the taxes on it--then MAYBE she can have a smidgen of the net amount.
ETA: The only time someone is beholden to split winnings is if everyone pitched in to buy a lottery ticket. Slot winnings are a completely different story.

I always knocked unless I knew it was an important and/or confidential meeting. But our office doors had a small window in them so if someone was eating at their desk, I'd go by later or send an e-mail.

If you've had the steroid shot and have antibiotics, it's just going to take time for the infection to be flushed out. I take Mucinex at the first sign of an URI. I was told by a doc several years ago that Sudafed just dries up the infection and makes it sticky so your body can't flush it out, so Mucinex is the best way to go because it loosens the crud up for your body to deal with.
I learned a couple new things the other day: 1) Sudafed works if you have an allergy. I felt like ass all last week. My friend, who was visiting from Anchorage, suggested I try Sudafed to see if it would help. She finally talked me into taking one of hers, and I'll be darned if it didn't do the trick! Yay! I also learned that 2) in Oregon you cannot buy Sudafed OTC--you have to have a prescription!! WTF? So she left some for me until I can get to my doctor for a prescription. I'm feeling better, so I doubt I'll make a special appointment unless I have to. I'm traveling to Anchorage for Thanksgiving, so I plan on bringing a PILE of it when I come back. lol

Thanks everyone. I called the specialist that did the ablation since my GP would probably just give me a referral. They are booking appointments for December but there was a cancellation for Monday so I took it.

It's important to be honest. We're as sick as our secrets.
I encourage you to attend a few "open" AA meetings. Open meetings are available to everyone. You don't even have to have a concern about drinking. Nurses, doctors, treatment facility staff, etc. attend open meetings too. "Closed" meetings are only for those who think they may have a drinking problem.
Go online and Google "AA meetings" in your area. Don't be afraid to attend one. No one will hassle you or try to shove sobriety down your throat. If you are called on during the meeting to share, it's perfectly okay to say "I'd rather just listen".
AA is not for everyone. But at least attending a meeting or two won't hurt. Good luck.
If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.

I walk with purpose--like I know where I'm going. Also, I plan ahead as to how much daylight will be available: whether in the morning or in the evening if I'm going to an event, etc. If I know it's going to be dusky or dark, I'll take along a small flashlight that will fit in my pocket or purse, PLUS I also have a tiny little whistle on my keychain in case I need help. I really doubt I'll ever need to use it for walking in the dark, but it's nice to have. (I also use it when I go tidepooling on the coast in case I break a leg, etc., while on the rocks.)
