The last thing in the whole world that I would trust is my memory. Sometimes it is convenient but it sure faced challenges when I worked for so long in the CPA Firm. Not only did I have to remember close to a dozen passwords each morning to open the tax, accounting and other progams, lots of them forced a new password every 30, 60 or 90 days. Then each of our clients who we accessed their programs and banking info had their passwords to keep track of plus my own personal passwords. That was a huge challenge for a memory challenged gal but as long as my little dog was by my side I hurdled those challenges.
Having four Alexas in this house has helped my memory sustantially because she remembers and reminds me of everything.
I'm a terrible driver with a need for speed. I never had a problem running a red light if no traffic was coming and I couldn't see any cops, so no tickets. However I started getting tickets in the mail with a video address attached where I could see myself being guilty. The fricking ticket was like $258.
There have been people all along the last two years that believed covid was not real. Then there are those that think the vaccine is worse than getting covid or whatever else they are afraid of.
One could hope that covid cleaned out the gene pool some.
My neighbor cracks me up big time. She absolutely has NO filter on her mouth. It isn't that she says bad words, she just says crazy things to people. I just love her to death but I have to excuse her filter.
Happy and prosperous New Year to you too. I can't complain about 2021 for myself although I know it was very harsh for many others. I had a lot of little successes, I set small goals and achieved most of them. I'm nothing without goals.
May everyone enjoy some success and happiness in 2022.
I loved doing the tax returns for artists. There is so much to write off, the more they made, the more they spent. So many things are a deduction that many just don't realize.
I was very married to my job and loved working. I loved not being on a budget and I loved my work family and boss. I bought my retirement home a few years before I could move the 100 miles to live in it, I also got my car paid off then I retired and moved.
At first I was lost without the routine I had adheared too for oh so long, you know the get up and go to work 5/7, same time every day, same routine both pretty much ingrained in me.
I saw this on FB - but my friends and I agree this is how I feel now that I'm retired. I'm a Seenager - Senior Teenager
I have everything that I ever wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. I have ID that gets me into bars and the whiskey store. The people I hang around with are not afraid of getting pregnant. And I don't have acne. LIFE IS GOOD
I invited my ex to our family Christmas dinner tomorrow because my youngest granddiva flew in from San Diego and I think he wants to see her plus I am looking forward to seeing him. I'm so happy our divorce was so civil.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby sister. There should be some relief in no longer having to watch her suffer. When we lose loved ones over the holidays it is so hard to have a holiday spirit in future holidays, at least it is for me. I personally hate the holidays and its commericalism and the fact so many people will lose loved ones.
When my bro was a salesman - he earned my utmost respect with his philosophy which included your rules above. His added rule was never bring negativity about a competitor. He always used a positive approach of how much his company could accomplish. I so respected that.
For some funny reasons most members of my family could be salesman because we all have the gift of gab. Even my favorite years as a craftsman, I had to be the sales man to sell our art. My husband swore I could sell a snowball to an Eskimo. Once I did sell a picture to a blind man, a real cranky one at that, in the end he turned out to be a sweet old retired high up vet.
I had the most lucky and delightful November and spent much time on cloud 9. I feel the gratitude with a smile every day yet have no need to write about it. Too good to be true is what worries me.
I think doing a background check is wise on either party. Someone trying to get to know you is not going to be honest in the beginning, they are going to be what they think you want, period. Too many gullible or desparate people out there so it is better to be safe than sorry.
If someone tells me they own a business or are self-employed and you find nothing about their business, red flag. If someone tells you they are law abiding and you find out different, red flag. If someone tells you they are single and you find out they aren't, RED flag. There are many other reasons as well.
Both my Mom and Dad are each other's 3rd marriage before they got it right and that was over 60 years now. I think many people change after the marriage vow (which doesn't mean much anymore)
I sort of wish marriage licenses were like driver licenses that you get to renew once a decade.
I've met men for a drink without running a background check but I've always run a background check if I go out on a date with them. I'm pro it but I'm very very pro choice on anything. You have the right to do what is right for you.
I read this blog got scared, logged off then called my bro. He said he watches a lot of news and they were not mentioning it so I was not scared anymore. I asked Alexa and she said it was supposed to hit this weekend. So who scared my Alexa?
