I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh, msbelle, I'm sorry.

In totally not relevant to anyone news, I picked up a package of "Poor Boy" sandwiches from WinCo last night because it was 3 sandwiches for 3 dollars and I was curious. They're not bad! No po'boys by any means, but they aren't really claiming to be.

Our wings are not tired.

Sorry, msbelle and ND. Both painful situations for which the solutions can be elusive.

There is going to be a Ruth Bader Ginsberg action figure, and I am going to keep it at my desk and tell it all my problems!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

That is adorbs! (but not ND's comment ... that is far from it)

I ran into a little, um, financial situation a while ago (nothing dire). When my mother died in 2014, seemingly she left a moderate fund - intended as an annuity? - for me. My sister sent me the necessary paperwork and I filed the information with the company, along with my address, contact info, etc., and asked to have them hold it for five years (in early 2015 since I expected to still be working that long). About a month ago, my sister forwarded something from the company to me, along with a rather terse note asking me to have them send things to my address.

Turns out that for the past few years, they've been sending all communication to my mother (who's dead) at her old address (where my sister lives). The information says that there's a required minimum withdrawal, annually, or else the IRS can take up to half that required minimum. I got in touch with the company and asked if they had sent the information because I'd turned 65 ... but no, seemingly the required minimum kicked in when my mother (who's dead) turned 65 and that the fund was tied to the age of the owner (my mother who, I repeat, is dead).

So ... for the past couple of years, the IRS has been taking the money, since I never received the information. I asked my office's financial person about this since, if I take the annual withdrawal, I'll be responsible for taxes on it. He advised that I roll it over into my current retirement account ... which I'm getting the paperwork for.

I'm just concerned that if they send a check, it would be made out to my mother, since she's the owner. sigh ....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So last night I had one friend have a tornado land in her neighborhood

Me too - was your friend in Beacon?

Half the school districts north of me are closed today because they don't have power. We got INCREDIBLY lucky to only have a few downed branches.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Me too - was your friend in Beacon?

About 16 miles from there, according to maps.

BTWs, Hec, thanks for keeping us all in the loop during the tornado drama.
