I’m sorry for the confusion!

Yes I think you are right. I just don’t get the point. It seems like a lot of extra work lol. But as long as the shareholders think it’s better I guess that’s what matters.

Agreed! I’m also frustrated they won’t give accurate estimates. They just say that it depends. But it’s like… don’t they have an hourly rate or a piece rate? Something more accurate than “it will be $100 to $2000”???

Ugh lol

Yikes. Well, I guess I am still a bit ethnocentric.

I hope you are able to get the care you need.

True, but that doesn’t make it worth $679.

What is the 3 stars thing again?

Thank you, best wishes ❤️

Good to know. Thanks i appreciate your help

We have made so much soup lol. Hoping to make gumbo soon just don’t have enough ingredients. Might make jambalaya instead since we have most of those those ingredients.

Does jambalaya usually take thyme? I don’t remember adding it before but it’s been in a number of recipes

Thank you. My country is in the title (USA). Hoping the interview goes well. Brain hasn’t been working very well (part of my injuries was a concussion).

Understandable! The only reason i have it on is for medical calls

I agree with you wholeheartedly except for that it costs me more than $100

I can taste this comment and it’s delicious

I’ve been saying this for so long. Don’t get me wrong, some films do make sense to have sex scenes. But there are so many that either have hardcore (for TV) sex scenes or just random full nudity that makes it nearly impossible to watch with anyone other than my partner or close friends.

Like if I recommend a film or show to someone and completely forget that it had sex or even just nudity in it, it usually wasn’t important to the story. On the other hand, it may have made sense to include in the film but it was so terribly done that I promptly blocked it out.

The other issue is that it has become increasingly difficult to find any shows that either don’t include sex scenes, or don’t have ridiculous levels of violence, or whatever else is difficult for me to deal with when I just want something easy to watch that’s not a kid’s movie (although kid’s movies have their own set of issues).

Streaming services don’t even make it easy to find something to watch - they show you the same stuff over and over, or they pretend that everything is in English when they include so many other languages in the selections. If I am unable to pay attention to the captions then I would prefer to have something in English without trying a bunch of different shows first. I mean I guess this is partly (mainly?) my fault since I’ve failed to learn another language despite years of studying. But I think it just irritates me that they lie about it more than anything.

Idk I am off topic now and this has turned into a really long comment that probably doesn’t say anything that hasn’t already been said in this thread.

Brilliant! Subscribed.

Tonight we are going Mexican (probably more Tex Mex) with some soup!

This is true. And there are so many choices too… definitely going to look for some new things I haven’t had before!

That looks tasty! I don’t think I’ve had chickpeas 🤔

Side note, the first recipe that came up when I searched for it said it reminded the author of…Texas?? Fascinating lol

Oh I don’t know how I forgot jambalaya! Great ideas

Yum! Definitely doing this next grocery trip.

They provide their own therapy

It will always blow my mind that the <$950 people on SSI get every month is somehow supposed to sustain them. I’m lucky that I get SSDI but even though I’m making 1.5x the SSI benefit, I’m still drowning in expenses. And I can’t do any work or I risk losing my income. I wish they’d just let me work a couple hours a month with zero risk to being kicked off disability. It would save so much money in their other benefit pots that I do qualify for.

But yay, so glad they’re using realistic math to determine an appropriate cost of living adjustment. That 2.5% will go a long way - I could afford the gas to drive to the doctor 2 extra times! Or I could buy 4 bananas! The possibilities are endless.
