I hate EBay!
Their UI sucks—several ways to do the same things!

Getting help is impossible. Their TV ads piss me off. I just had to refund some buyer who alleged the Lego adventure calendar they ordered was the wrong one and had bugs in the box. The 6 others I sold shipped with no problems.

Such a shit show.

I’m so sorry. Please let me know how I can help.

I’ve been watching the Harry Potter movies—always seems appropriate as the holidays get close. I thought about texting my son. We saw all the movies together, and I read him all the books. Now, though, getting no response from him will just crush me.

Trump owns them all. Never seen so much corruption and villainy

I have a ring my first husband bought me as a promise ring a million years ago. I haven’t worn it in decades. I’d like to give it to my daughter-in-law. It’s her birthstone. With the estrangement with my son, I don’t want the gift to be seen as manipulative.
What should I do?

Mimi, the calico, is small & allegedly 11 and does not like other girls. Lucy is about 3, & sweet and dense.

Any of you fans of NCIS?

What the hell are people supposed to do? Kids will starve.

These SOBs are going to have a lot of wrongful death charges against them.

Got a new blanket and someone wanted to try it out

The trigger for the estrangement was my husband’s telling my son that he was wrong about something that he was indeed wrong about. He insists I’m in denial about being an abused spouse. My husband & I have a good relationship now. We both worked through out shit.

I know what he claims to hate. He refuses to believe anything has changed. My husband was an undiagnosed bipolar person with lots of trauma in his background. He didn’t get the diagnosis until my son was in college. Every one has the right to change and ask for forgiveness.

Him gets ejected. Thats not good. I am afraid every day that one of us will die with nothing resolved. I’m 54 & he is 29. I thought my dad’s death would shake things loose. My dad thought so too. This is destroying me. My brain is broken, literally.

How do I keep moving forward when my son refuses to see or speak to me? I don’t know where to put all the grief and hurt. I don’t understand why we cannot have a relationship just because he hates my husband. It’s irrational. He’s even shut out his dad too. Shutting out anyone who questions …

They were going to offer me the job and I declined. Mow is not the time for liberal me to be working for a federal contractor. I’d be unemployed now anyway with the shutdown.

Why won’t someone arrest him already?!

Yes, it was. People could have a one-income family & afford college, & get medical care without losing their house. People didn’t work 24-hours a day but could still afford to go on a modest vacation. Sexism and racism were worse. People trusted teachers. Things didn’t go south until Reagan.

I am selling my art and jewelry at a festival this weekend.
Today happens to be my son and daughter-in-law’s fifth anniversary. He hasn’t spoken to me in two years. I don’t cry every day anymore, but the ache in my heart is always there.

Trump declared he’s ended free speech. How do we get out of here?!

Same.

What’s your favorite recipe?

So disgusting! I interviewed for a position on base today and I don’t think I’m going to accept the position. I can’t imagine working in this environment. I think it’s time to go back to teaching college.

Just finished a job interview for an admin on base. I really don’t want to work for the federal gov with the current administration. If I understood them, the client wants the candidate to start as early as tomorrow. I don’t think it’s a safe place for liberals. I threaded the needle in the past.

He looks like a giant child with tiny hands in this pic. Rather, he IS that child, throwing his toys to boot

This is my shadow. He’s the sweetest little guy.
