Try to make funny memories for my family and tell them that they are good and appreciated. The coulda/shoulda after someone passes is difficult. I would try to prevent that as much as possible.

My first thought was staged. Lying liars lie and train us to look for the lie.

Some are reporting that he was hit by glass from the teleprompter rather then a bullet. Not sure how true that is.

Took me a day to realize that abbot was Satan and Patrick was his asshole.

Drunk, bitter, and pissed off. That should be our state motto. Cheers!

I’m a 4.5 and those are my favorite shows.

Last year i learned that people see and hear things.

Dallas. We’re 97-101 the next few days, then it drops to 90 with a chance of rain Thursday and Friday. Glad I’m not in Houston sweating without electricity!

2400 sq ft. Just two of us now, but I’m home in the day during the summer and we have frequent guests. In past years we had elderly mom and nursing care here so we had to keep it comfortable all day. We heat/cool upstairs only at night, downstairs only in the day and close vents in unused rooms. Our mid-90’s HVAC can’t get to 70°. We did get an electric pellet grill last year and we’ve been using it a lot to keep from heating the house. I wonder how much that adds.

Who’s your provider? My plan is about to expire. I’m looking at Octopus for 13.4 cents.

In Texas? It’s 600 degrees here today. Friend refers to it as Satan’s asshole.

I have a couple of u-tec ones. They work on a fingerprint or code. You can set codes for other people either permanently or temporarily. If you have the Wi-Fi bridge you can lock it and unlock it from a distance. They’re not cheap.

Maybe it depends on your energy provider and whether you have a fixed rate or variable rate plan? I don’t know if other places have those options or not. Check out powertochoes.org if you don’t know what I mean. Mine just went up from $200 to $300 this month with the heat. My highest is usually 1-2 months of ~$350.

Can you only go to where your are now at different times or to places/times in your own past? It’s only a time machine, not a location transporter, right?

They’re free, unlimited, and they mean nothing.

He’s now a mechanic, but that becoming an inspector was his entry to car work. Do you get your car inspected every year or two? It’s that - windshield wipers, horn, tires, drive it and see if it brakes in the allotted space, plug it into the smog check machine. If you can tolerate working outdoors (in an open garage) and you’re ok working with your hands it’s not a bad gig. I think he started at $12/hr plus a dollar for each inspection he did, plus a little commission if someone bought windshield wipers, a new gas cap, stuff like that. Here, the people who work M-F fight to be off Saturday/Sunday, so they’re always looking for weekend help. I think the two day class was about $50 and the license to be an inspector is $25/yr.

Edit for grammar/clarification.

Not life-changing, butI like this a lot… Tomorotec 17.7" x 15.5" Roll Up Dish Drying Rack Over Sink (Grey) https://a.co/d/0dRoDBBu

As someone mentioned, write down every single purchase you make, no matter how small. You’ll see a place to cut. Check all of your subscriptions - phone, Internet, everything, to look for a cheaper option. It’s easier to get a job when you have one. Always be on the lookout for things you could do instead of or in addition to your regular job. Maybe find something for weekends that offers a good benefit or discount - gym, grocery, something that will earn you money and reduce an expense. My son did a two day class to get certified for vehicle inspections - tons of jobs. If you don’t work Monday-Friday you could get on a school district sub list - you can say yes or no when they call you.

Have you tried calling the IRS? I think it’s the worst.

I don’t really want to talk to people either, but sometimes you need help right away. I usually try chat first. It’s a little less frustrating.
