How do they do this to me??? I was going to watch 1 ep of season 3 and I sat there and watched all of it until 4 in the morning. Half the time I just wanted to beat “our Ryan” because he’s so stupid and hard headed. And then he turns it around. I will buy you the ticket Catherine! Get in your Range Rover and go!

How bout that Rihanna concert?

I’m Mostly listening to the murdaugh trial. I’ve got it on my phone live stream but can really only listen. Peek once in a while but they aren’t showing any evidence so that works. My friend is a court reporter not THE court reporter. She mostly does civil depositions. Travels all around south Carlina. Used to do a lot of work for the firm murdaugh used to work for. Knows all the players. She doesn’t have Inside knowledge per se but more than us spectators. my biggest impression is that this trial is a parody of my cousin Vinny. Or my cousin Vinny could be a parody of this. With all the southern accents and tire track speculations.

I did think it gave us a nice setup. Built the characters. We were just Kinda guessing with Rick when he woke up from his coma. I started watching it because of Liana Mormont. Aka Bella Ramsey. I liked her in game of thrones. I broke everything in my house his weekend. A surge protector fried. I heard snap crackle and went to inspect and my converter had melted into the surge protector. So I ran to the living room to steal another surge protector. Unplugging all tv/dvr items. So that was a monstrous pita to put back together. And I neglected to notice I also unplugged mini fridge which I keep drinks in. So walked through later and it was all wet on the floor and couldn’t figure out why. I thought it was just broken because why would I have it plugged in all the way over there? Why? Because everything is garbage. I have no grounded plugs in my house and so everything is plugged into 3-4 surge protectors.

I started watching “The last of us” am I just a weird zombie watcher?? It’s not like I was groomed by “night of the living dead” movies. I’m sure I watched them but I’m not obsessive about them. Why do I watch still the zombie shows?? Sometimes I’m concerned how weird I am.

The grate is to keep out the gremlins. But it’s removable. I do have possums in the neighborhood and you don’t want them under your house. He has since released the grate but I wasn’t sure why he buckled it in like that.

I was so confused by this. This is the crawl space to get under my house. Any plumbing work you gotta go through here. Why he trap it?

Do people who work on commission get a salary? If you’re a car salesman and you sell none then guy got no paycheck? Real estate agents don’t get paid unless they sell. I got my property taxes lowered. Or frozen whatever you call it. And good thing because neighbor went up for sale and she’s listed at $375k so that would skyrocket me next year. But if I finish my sprucing you and get my plumbing fixed maybe it means I could sell in a year or 2 for like $300k!

Do you tip on the total or the before tax amount? I’ve always tipped on the total. Here’s my math. If the bill is 46.72 10% Is $4.70. I double. If it’s $9.40 then I just round up. I have new windows! And shortly new siding. And a fixed porch and repaired shed. I do not like people in and around my house so it’s annoying. All my windows were previously painted shut. And super old. So maybe better utility bills plus just not so run down looking.

Oh hahahaha that’s gloriously funny. Minimum wage here is $7.25 an hour. And wait staff do not get that. I wanna say it’s something like $2.35 so yes indeed they require the tips to survive. Yes $40 on a $200 dinner is steep. Granted I’ll never have a $200 dinner. with tips, being a server is Like being paid on commission except the commission is not guaranteed. I think it would be interesting to see if restaurants wanted to tally up and give the servers 10-20% of what they serve in a night. Then see if they’d rather pay minimum wage.

Church is weird. These were united Methodists so very liberal church. They did communion and when we (baptists) did it that just passed around a little gray if juice and a cracked. You had to line up and dude tore off chunks of bread. Pandemic times made me scream internally. Then you go kneel around the altar to eat your little snack. I was very much a no on that. I never knew if I was standing or sitting. I think I’ll just go to hell. It seems easier.

It’s almost like the most religious people are actually evil! speaking of religion I might go to church tomorrow. So if basically the entire southeast blows up, that’s me. Jesus done struck the church. There’s a church that’s doing a Ted lasso inspired thing so I figured that might be fun. We also have a church down here that every year does a month of broadway musicals. I went to go see the Les Mis performance. They don’t do the entire thing. They pick and choose which songs and the preAcher gives his message between songs. Les mis they focused on the forgiveness. The priest that allowed jean Val jean to have the candle sticks he stole. I desperately want them to do kinky boots or hedwig. Chorus line. I’d love to see how they interpret tits and ass!

Correct. In these pandemic times I’ve left more tip on takeout because I know there had been less in person dining. But takeout was usually 10-15% and I don’t know that anybody would ever chase you down. They just think you’re a dick afterwards. I wouldn’t frequent a place where you were known as a non tipper. You might be getting extra saliva in your drinks etc. (never actually known anyone to do that) I don’t care for the people that are like “here’s your tip and I’m taking $1 away every time you screw up”. I know that your food being late might have nothing to do with the server. I try to see the big picture…are they slammed? Is this person busting their ass? I do not look for a suck up attitude just regular friendly helpfulness. I do not try to create neediness. I was a server so asking me 6 times for 6 things can make me nuts while I’m trying to get things done. I always tried to pre think things like ketchup that they might ask for. Always had a pen or a fork handy. Things to make it easier on me because I know they wouldn’t. And absolutely you do not want to stiff your backup. If they refill drinks or bus tables you want them on your side. Sometimes you can tell your server is a dick by how other staff help them or lack thereof. I do think they should be paid a regular wage and tipping should be optional. Some places make a ton in tips. Great. Wonderful. Ours was a tip jar situation so I did make regular minimum wage. Tip was bonus. We did split it with the prep and boy howdy did you know if somebody hadn’t tipped them out because you were not getting your stuff on time or help in any way. Sunday’s were our biggest days (after church crowd-who suck by the way) and I think I made $20-25 in tips on a Sunday. I always wanted to tell Sunday people “Jesus can still see you” because they were just so mean and nasty on a Sunday. Same with the deli. You just got out of church and go do your shopping. So did everybody else. I’m sorry there’s a line but being nasty to me doesn’t get you salami any faster. And I do try to tip in cash rather than on a card. Because I don’t care if they don’t report tips on taxes. If you put it on a card the restaurant taxes it and they don’t get it all. Im not frequenting high end places. I know they’re not rolling in cash. They aren’t making $400 a night in tips. I’d rather they get it than the restaurant or the irs

Happy new year! These dorks near me been shooting off fireworks and guns since like 6 pm. Oh yeah 23 is gonna be the year of intelligence.

Yes indeedy

That’s probably it. And you can have all the chick peas in the universe. I’ll never fight you for them. I don’t think I’d like skyline chili either. Something about Cincinnati they put it on spaghetti first of all and there’s cinnamon in it. Blech.

I was gonna make some cocoa in my bob Ross mug but they didn’t have any. So as soon as I can get my hands on some I’ll show you bob ross. I don’t care for cinnamony type things they do with Greek meat. Like there’s a lasagna type thing but it had cinnamon or cardamom which I’m not fond of in meat. And you’re all wrong about hummus. It’s disgusting. Chuck peas in general. I don’t like falafel either. They are an abomination. they are having the “private” burial for grandma today. Public funeral next Tuesday. I’m apparent not family cuz I’m holding down the fort while they go. But I’m good enough for next Tuesday.

It’s incredibly cold for here. Luckily we didn’t get the great blizzard but it’s freezing so def a couch and movies Christmas. I had brisket ,shrimp and Parmesan garlic potatoes. Then I got hammered on lemonade and vodka. You use what you got. Going for lunch with a friend tomorrow and briefly I thought I was gonna get poutine. Then Mexican before she settled on Greek/Mediterranean. Which I don’t hate. But I do hate hummus. I got a replacement hairbrush and a bob ross mug that paints the happy little trees when you put hot beverage In it.

Merry Christmas and happy festivus. I think I’m more of a festivus person because I love the airing of grievances. And a meatloaf dinner rather than turkey. (I’m actually making brisket) I have been relinquished of dog duty. They are all alive and happy. They ate my hairbrush.

I think the new format finally kicked me out on the computer. (I have really old browser but can’t update system because of Heidelberg) so lots of websites gimme the “your browser is not supported please download blah blah” so I guess phone only now. appears we will lose grandma. Taking her to hospice. She had multiple myeloma which she didn’t know about. Which is why the sternum fall was giving her so much trouble. She had way too much calcium in her body and that’s one of the symptoms. So once they started testing they found the cancer. Probly why the fall was so detrimental to her. Obviously she is not my grandma. My bosses mom but she was here every day. She did our books. 84! Spry as hell. merry feckin Christmas. I watched banshees of inishirin and I don’t think it’s supposed to be a comedy but I found it hilarious. Still on my Irish kick. So feckin is my new word.

I feel like Cinderella or whichever of those Disney gals had all the critters following her around. I'm house sitting over christmas and they have 2 golden doodles and little shitzhu kinda thing and a couple cats. Seriously 2 dogs and a cat in bed with me last night and following me to go to the bathroom etc. I believe the lil shitzhu creature must take after the german dad side of the family cuz she's a little freaky deaky. I took a shower yesterday and she was licking my feet. She is half blind and deaf. So she'll follow you anywhere but if she wanders she can't answer if you call her. They're all very sweet but it's just odd to be followed and watched that much. They looooooooove to go for a ride so I took them in the car and either got excited by the site of other dogs or maybe know the park by my house because if Beau could drive the car Beau was gonna pull us over.

She did better today. Trying to take her off ventilator. I think she just wasn’t getting enough oxygen because of weeks of shallow breathing because of the sternum crack.

Yep I think we got roughly the same law, cover it and if you remove gotta be biohazard dudes all suited up. I've been sleeping next to it, well other side of my wall, for at least 20 years. But I do have insurance companies want to dump me periodically, the first insurance company was merging then I got "liberty mutual" and after I signed up they called me back after a month and said "oh we don't cover asbestos" I was like "I didn't hide that from you" so then the country mutual people who I recently got rid of because of things now progressive which did give me a good rate but it's not really progressive as the homeowners insurance...some affiliated thing. We might be losing grandma, took a turn for the worse overnight in hospital. "Assessing" waiting for word

☹️ I just switched companies because it saved me SO!MUCH!MONEY! >( So they always do a drive by at least and certainly my paint was in terrible shape but also I have the asbestos so if you can get them to insure you in the first place, they do keep a stricter eye on you because of the liability. The siding does shut them up because "it's covered" I don't really see how that keeps you from getting asbestos cancer but whatever. Like if you have asbestos shingles that aren't painted does air circulate and blow it at your lungs? I get that with insulation etc. I think siding is not the classiest but I do think in my case will help me sell my house rather than deter from it because of the asbestos factor. Hell anyone buying my house is knocking it down to build something better. I think once I do this they leave me alone as long as I never file a claim (and I never have) If they don't like the neighbors tree all up in my business then why is his insurance not worried about power lines etc? because they're collecting money and don't care until he wants to make a change.

My boss' mother will be 85 in February. While I was gone she fell getting out of a golf cart going to a Georgia Southern game. I think her adrenaline kicked in and she popped up and claimed "I'm fine, I'm fine" but couple weeks go by and she aint feeling too good. When I got back I thought she sounded a little hoarse and thought she might have a cough or something. turns out she's got a cracked sternum! and if you're 85 you aren't gonna heal from that right away. If you're 18 they'd tell you don't jump from high places and you'll be good in a couple of weeks. If you're 85 I guess they shoot cement into you. Literally gluing you back together. I assume it's not something i could just go pick up at home depot. Also I'm getting quote from painters/handymen for my house because insurance is yelling at me. Over 5 years ago I got a quote on siding from Home Depot and it was $11,000. That was siding only, no windows or repairs. I've got 1 quote so far for siding, repairing my shed, repairing my porch and replacing the 3 windows in the front of my house. $13.5 it's steep, I don't like it but I think it will shut the insurance company up forever. I have asbestos siding and if you keep it covered supposedly no danger, siding is permanently keeping it covered. trust me, can't afford the abatement. I got another quote coming today.
