set up international plans for Matilda
I'm assuming Matilda's phone is locked to AT&T. Is it worth her while to get a local phone and data plan?
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay for good health news!
Mr. S is here for an overnight visit. He's kinda unfocused, which has been typical lately.
As for Monday, just gonna stay home. I just hope our Tr*mp-loving neighbor doesn't blast the tv on high(like he did at 2 am on Election night)

Thrive to spite them
Yay ATT rep that finally fixed things!
I got off work and was sitting in the break room unwinding for a few minutes and saw the Snoop Dogg news.
My reaction was pretty much ????!?!? Snoop Dogg? ?? Performed at the "Crypto Ball"??? SNOOP DOGG performed at Trump event?
.... He performed BOB MARLEY SONGS? at a Trump event?
I said all of that outloud and one of my just out of high school co workers replied "that's fire!"
I was like...no no it is not "fire" . He kind of explained "no I meant performing Bob Marley songs not the Trump thing."
What is it about Trump?
Also I read Paramount may drop the lawsuit because they will want to make a merger and will need approval.
I still don't understand how Trump became this powerful. He is a gross , weird , old man who keeps running businesses into bankruptcy.
Can he just ascend already?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am ignoring the news for the time being.
Re: tankless water heater, I liked mine fine, UNTIL we got the heat pumps and no longer have anything heating up the basement. The water comes out ice cold (kind of nice if what you want is a cold glass of water) and takes a WHILE to heat up. I assume this will not be the case in the summer.

Same. I'm spending the long weekend watching horror movies and waiting for the results from my breast MRI . I know I won't get them until Tuesday because of the holiday weekend, but that doesn't stop me from constantly refreshing my email.
Tonight I take my first shot of Wegovy. No-terrible-side-effects ~ma please?

Best of luck, Atropa! There's a fascinating interview on Chris Hayes' podcast this week about the use of GLP-1s for all sorts of public health issues. It's kind of amazing.

Good luck Atropa!

This is what I was worried about - We have well-water here and JFC is it cold. But it doesn’t seem to be taking too much longer than normal. And it’s definitely getting hot enough.
I guess this weekend will be the test because it’s 20 now and going into single digits for the next several days. If it can keep up with that, it can handle anything.

Just thought I'd share some advice on protecting your data from FB if that's something you want to do: [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We were expecting the date of the house completion and signing to slip, and apparently it's not? So we need to be in Richmond in like 2.5 weeks? Which means we have to start getting everything done? Now?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Belated huzzahs for all the good health news! Benign is such a beautiful word.
Best of luck, Atropa!
In related news, I had my now-annual breast MRI last Sunday, and got the results on Tuesday--nothing concerning, see you next year.
My plan for Monday involves reading, listening to non-political podcasts (I'm currently binge-listening to Normal Gossip), and trying to avoid any interaction whatsoever with the news.
