Yeah unfortunately it seems like it doesn’t roll over because they changed FSA providers, and since I didn’t realize it by the end of the year it’s too late to buy new things. Oops.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Boo, I thought you were supposed to have until sometime in March, or is that just for submitting receipts? That sucks, meara.
ION, I started work 15 minutes late because I was distracted by OUTRAGE over today's wordle controversy. Perhaps controversy is the wrong word, I think everyone has the same opinion about it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I believe it varies by plan or company.

That sounds right, Dana. Not right like actually right, but how things probably are.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh ugh ugh. Hec woke up in the middle of the night with a gunky throat and nose, and did a rapid test, and by God he's positive. Matilda and I both negative so far, but she's staying home from school today. If our tests are negative tomorrow as well, we'll return to normal(ish), but he's stuck, poor lamb.

Ugh, JZ. Lot of get better soon ~ma for Hec and stay negative ~ma for you and Matilda.
Thank you for the condolences the other day. Any ~ma that can be spared for my Aunt A would be appreciated. They've been married for something like 50 years, and this is going to be awful for her. Her daughters are with her now, but none of them live in the same state with her.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hope the vaccine/booster keep it just an annoyance. Omicron seems to avoid the lungs, unlike earlier waves, which is good. It just sets up shop in the sinuses, which is super gross but less worrisome.

~ma for Hec to recover quickly and completely, and for you and Matilda not to catch it JZ.
My family's nostalgic hamburger joint stopover on the way to my grandmother's former home has been inducted into the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame: [link]
It's just as good today as I remember from when I was a little kid back in the 70s (though the ice cream is a bit less of a draw to me these days). Admirable since it was bought out by a new family back in the 90s, but my guess is they didn't change anything about the food prep.

Good luck Hec, what a bummer!!
And yeah, I have to double check with my work system but normally some of the FSA would roll over if not spent? But I think because they changed providers it doesn’t? You do have a few months to submit receipts though. I just didn’t think I had that much left in there!!
Note though that if you LEAVE your job but INTENDED to put $2k in the FSA you’re allowed to spend up to $2k before you leave your company and get it reimbursed EVEN IF YOU HAVENT FUNDED IT YET!
