Ey! You better love me or leave me alone.
I'm not doing anything monetary when it comes to appearance aside from get my hair done. I'm tired. No teeth, no ass, no anything. Take my ugly ass the way I am or get the fuck on.

My sister was going to buy my Mom a book for Christmas and just told me what she was going to order (from a classmate) won't get here before Christmas. Maybe I can go to a local bookstore and find her one. We're trying to keep her engaged.

I'd say "Go ahead NC, you know what to do" but you don't. Stop voting for this man and the rest of the GOP blockheads.
President Donald Trump endorsed Phil Berger on Wednesday night, choosing his candidacy over that of Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page in the Republican primary to represent North Carolina's 26th Senate District.

Went back to Guthrie's today and asked for no salt on my fries. Perfection. That's the way to go. I just forgot to bring seasoned salt with me. Next time.
Also, since y'all was typing about it earlier, Guthrie's is what Zaxby's and Canes wished they were.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

A clause to not have a relationship w/ staff is interesting (outside of subordinates). I'd like to see the contract. It's giving "we've been burned before so let's not do that again." Bobby Petrino!

Relatedly, folks should still watch meteorologists. Them apps be wrong.
And meteorologists aren't always accurate but predicting weather is imperfect. The visuals they provide, understanding changes, etc. are useful for better understanding.

Speaking of chat. A coworker (not on my team) asked if she should use GPT to look at weather updates because Google isn't always accurate 🙄

I have a fondness for serif fonts myself. But this administration is simply insane.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

These college closures, pauses, and mergers are picking up. They said this was coming, I didn't believe it, but we're here.
🚨 Breaking News | Martin University plans to wind down operations at the end of the current semester. College officials are calling the move a “pause,” stopping short of calling it a closure.

They make a great, reasonably priced breakfast combo too.
"Like any good deli, the Blue Ridge has coolers overflowing with bottled drinks—Jarritos, Arizona teas, Celsius, and dozens of other juices, seltzers, and sodas—and shelves stocked with Miss Vickie’s and Lay’s."

I've been the only one in the building. Someone is supposed to come in and service an alert we're getting. If our facilities guy isn't coming I ain't opening this door. No strangers in this building. Someone came to the door yesterday, I ain't open it. We weren't expecting anyone. Nope.

I was in Trader Joe's and there was no one in the frozen food aisle with me. WHEN does that ever happen? But everyone was being super chatty in the checkout. Hey man! I'm late for work, let's move this along!

I am hyper aware of noises in my car and tend to check around it on a regular basis. I lived in Alabama far away from any family and drove 60 miles to work. Had to pay attention to stuff. The risk was too great.

Ya know Snowmageddon in 2014 in the Triangle was traumatic. I almost didn't make it home. I know people who had to leave their cars. I won't chance it anymore. This area is just ill-prepared for snow and folks cannot drive in it. Cancelled my appt. in Durham cause I just didn't want to risk it.
