The kid should be here any time now. LOL he called me to say he was "running late" and that it was because the homeless pushed the trashcans and a lot of their stuff into his backyard, and then .... heads went through it.

I'd suspect exaggeration but I've SEEN his back alley man, that plus, yikes I am SO GLAD he has a dog. I love living in South Tucson sometimes, all of our (mostly transient) homeless collect by the single Circle K although yikes I am thinking we are getting a Walmart soon and I hate to imagine what THAT could cause. Although, the bonus being if you need, say, "An onion," well, you don't have to drive 20 minutes each way to go get it. Etc. It's a double edged sword.

I am surprisingly and SURPASSINGLY excited to like, but the child some new clothes. It's almost more exciting (although looking back, I sort of wish I had not TOSSED so many pairs of work pants, really, thinking "I will never need these," although I would have had to have gotten them all taken in, anyway).

But yes, spending on your kid, it's like, more fun than spending on yourself, "I look at it as an investment in my genetic future." That plus I want GRANDKIDS.

LOL, by the clever gambit of "Soylent" I was able to convince the kid to like, let me buy a cheap pair of work shoes that he ACTUALLY had to promise to wear to job interviews. He agreed. Normally I would have my Doubts but I also said he could get sneakers plus the kiddo is surprisingly Sweet and Awesome these days, he tries really hard to treat "everyone' with kindness, forethought, and consideration, then gets really angry if he fails.
.
How well I remember those days, as if they were yesterday, as if the WERE in fact yesterday. LOL. My little brother called it (I am generally seen as the force of darkness and dissent in my family of origin). LOL. He said, "No, Anna, it's not that you want everything to suck. You actually want everyone to have the best outcome possible and you work hard to try and make it happen, because you genuinely value people being happy. And, when it inevitably fails, well that's when you turn into a wild, crazy creature, because you really WANT everything to be good, to an unrealistic degree."

LOLOL. The husband and his day three of recovery from food poisoning is all wandering around darkly saying stuff like, "I have failed you." I tried some general cheering up but then I left him alone because basically, when I felt that way, I wanted to be alone a large part of the time.

I'm sure that day will come again. But I'm feeling fairly sociable at the moment. I'm sure it'll pass and whatnot. LOL.

Anna

Hey Anna just wanted to wish you the best if you’re starting your new job tomorrow!! Hope it works out for you!!

 

[stols001]

LOL the closer it gets the more I'm hoping it DOESN'T I guess the other company is background checking me now and my first supervisor just emailed me and told me to take it.

I am so woefully unprepared for my day, heck, even where I will be, what stuff I can bring like my lunch, even my show up time. Okay that is partially my fault but I'm supposed to work 7--3 p.m. and I know the medical director who I am supposed to ask for won't be there at 7. God for her sake I hope she won't but since that is my start time, I imagine my first few hours are going to be sitting there bored, while I wait for the medical director.

It's partially my fault, man, I was so stunned by the outcome I asked very few questions but I also have a feeling that "working in a Jail" is something you can ONLY find out if you can do, by "working in a jail" so the first few days should give me a sense. Etc. I'm kinda hoping it's okay but to realistically assess myself as being the kind of social worker who can "work in a jail, " well IDK. I imagine I will see enough atrocities my first week to be able to decide from there.

I mean, they won't even let you make your benefit allocations until after the first 3 days, that is ominous in and of itself, but all bright, perky and "dressed in business casual but no orange, blue or red" well I guess I"m like, doing it.

I wish I knew more, but I have a feeling I will be Finding Out, and that most of my sympathies will be with the inmates. So, good to have OPTIONS I GUESS.

I ordered a $15 scale from Amazon last night.

When I woke up this morning, I worried (a little) that I might get just what I paid for.

If it turns out to be useful though, I can maybe get rid of the children's Tylenol and Dimetap cups.

When I was a kid, that grape flavor Dimetap was the best tasting medicine.

 

[Letitia]

Anyone have an opinion on the DPro Mini as a bf rda?

 

[jim_87]

 

[jim_87]

Obelisk RDA still avilable at eightvape for a dirt cheap price. I thought they would have sold out by now.

When I was a kid, our medicine tasted like kerosene. My kids didn’t know how lucky they were with Dimetap. Do they still make it? I could go for a shot, about now lol.

I got an email that they have Fanciers for $20, if anyone is interested. Also heard their reward program isn’t working.

I love Stephen King. If you haven't read it yet, I recommend Bazaar of Bad Dreams. I'm only halfway through with chapter one, but it is awesome so far.

I'm reading Tommyknockers for the first time since the 90s right now.
It's about a lady with shinyitis. I like Stephen King books.

@Letitia Saw Jai Haze review the other day on the DPROmini Stated how close it resembles the KRMA RDA. Stated Squonk pin sits extremely high an opportunity for the coil to short out on it. Also stated since it’s such a lowprofile RDA the problem comes to play as you run the risk of melting the DripTip.

Just his worth. YYMV
