You can give the cash away if you don't feel right about keeping it.

My gut says her entire goal is to get you to engage and that you should not.

askye, that sucks! I know I removed an authenticator from my account once for a similar reason, and I don't remember having any problems. I didn't know they got rid of their phone support though, I'd always had good luck with that. Maybe try asking on the official WoW forums on the /r/wow subreddit? Surely you can't be the first person to lose a phone and subsequently their authenticator!

Good luck! I just started playing again after being away for 8 months and I'm having a blast.

Will has an active account so he submitted a ticket explaingin the situation because the live chat is down. I'll see what happens from that.

I don't really want to start again but I like meandering aroud the lower levels so I could do that, just kind of sucks to lose my characters if it comes to that.

Also I made some co workers uncomfortable at work today. I didn't mean to. I was in the break room and a bunch of people were in there eating (because they are trying to get everyones meal breaks done by a certain time). The conversation turned someway and I can't remember what happened but soemone mentioned something about crazy (there was talk of absinthe and moonshine...I don't remember how the topic changed) and I tried to make a joke using the line from Night Court "But I'm much better now." (Harry's Dad's line), but of coure no one had even seen Night Court to know what I was talking about.

Anyway someone jokingly asked if I was on meds and instead of quipping back "yeah the good stuff" or something, I just automatically answered "Lithium and klonopin." I almost gave the dosages out of habit. And the guy was like, "oh. I thought we were still joking." and got really quiet. I tried to say that I was joking, I mean I take those but I was joking about my illness. But I don't know because more people came in and it was easier to leave.

I've just decieded to stop being embarassed or ashamed or quiet about having a mental illness or about the painful bladder stuff. It's not something I want to go into details with everyone but I also don't care if people know. As long as everyone treats me the same it's okay.

The one guy, S, who shares the same shrink as I do was in there, if he's working tomorrow I'm going to ask if I really overstepped my bounds and over shared.

There's a guy with diabetes who makes jokes about his illness all the time and people make jokes about it to him and he's fine with it (and his color blindness and his left handedness). I don't want it to be any different than that.

That's a tough situation, askye. To some extent carrying on treating your mental health issues as ordinary medical issues will help set the tone for how others react to you. There are those who are bigoted or clueless, but fuck 'em. As much as it might feel otherwise, their problems are outside of you.

Typo, I agree with Trudy that it sure looks as though the goal is to corner you into engaging. In your shoes, I would consider how possible it is to connect with the husband exclusively (if so, either keep the money and thank him while utterly ignoring the very existence of the wife; or, return it using the method you have planned). I'm not sure how possible or probable that is. Can you carry off a convincing "Really? They left CASH on my doorstep? I had no idea. Just goes to show what kind of world we live in nowadays"? If so, either keep it without acknowlegding the money you "found" could be theirs, or donate it somewhere.

I have a Harvey snuggled up in the crook of my arm. Dunno if we have five more good days or five more good years. All I know is this moment is a blessing. I've been rehearsing a short speech about "I miss him a lot but love never dies" so I have it ready to recite without breaking because the time is going to come when the people I work with ask how the kitties are doing and the answer won't be "wonderful".

Connie, I wholeheartedly support pitching as much holiday tradition out the window as you please for the "first" Christmas. Make new traditions. There will be time to blend new with old later.

Shir, I love seeing your font.

I'd keep the card as damages for her being a wretched bitch, and write a thank-you note to the husband.

You need the money. It's food. She's stupid. Accepting it puts no onus on you to change your feelings or behavior toward her, so don't cut your nose off to spite your face.

You could buy some stuff that food banks usually don't get, but need, like spices, etc (there's lists of stuff like this on the internet) with half of it, and then get some food, which you NEED, for yourself.

I think you are right. I will accept the cash (not any kind of card) and give her husband a thank you card.

Going back a way, it confounds me how many people are truly clueless or just so mired in their own perceptions of how things work in regard to religion. There's the "war on Christmas" deal which seems to be a mindset of all-Christmas-all-the-time or it's being shut out, rather than seeing it as an opening up to other traditions. And there was a fuss because a local school district was asked to include Muslim holidays on the calendar ... when they fell on the same days as some Jewish holidays which were already on the calendar (as well as the Christian ones). Their response was to take out ALL mention of religion on the calendar ... although - coincidentally! - the holidays are falling on Christmas and Easter and so on.

Bonus cluelessness: the politician at an event marking the beginning of Hanukkah said, "Jesus is the reason for the season."

My gast is truly flabbered.

And here I got the impression yesterday that Axial Tilt is the reason for the season. Whatever the reason, glad tidings and good cheer to all!

Plus, there's Mithras, whose mother was a virgin and who was born in a cave at the winter solstice.

The realtor scheduled at noon a showing at 330. I did not know that we were having showings yet, & I have an appointment at 430 that I have to be at, we all need to be out of the house for an hour at 330, and we have one freaking car. Thank God that the house is mostly tidy, however my pleasant day with my stepson is now turned into a straightening up and dusting and tidying frenzy. I'm really appreciative right now.
