$92 (plus tax) for a gallon of Benjamin Moore polyurethane. Ouch.
My advice:
Tell your family beforehand over text or something, “My daughter would like to bring her girlfriend. I wanted to know that will be okay. Otherwise, we will (Christmas, etc.) at home. We love you all, we hope you feel the same and will refrain from any negative remarks. If we agree this is okay and a scene occurs anyway, unfortunately we will have to leave.”
It hurts we can never let our MIL meet our friend, and honestly none of our LGBTQ friends. Also none of the others.
The good news is my partner has realized their mother is a huge narcissist now and is working through some issues in a healthy way as they realize how their upbringing affected them.

I like this plan.
A glitch erased my wordle streak, even though I’ve never actually lost a game yet. Sad! I still have my stats saved otherwise, thankfully.

It’s Monday again. And unfortunately I’m feeling too well to do anything but talk myself out of bed and go to work.
But I’m giving myself another four minutes before I do much of anything.

I definitely have a case of the Mondays.
I’m training a new person in a few minutes on some stuff. And if I think it goes well then she’s going to take over some stuff from Mean Girl too. But if I think it doesn’t go well then I will be taking over the stuff from Mean Girl. Whomever takes over these tasks from Mean Girl will shadow Mean Girl on Wednesday.
So I have an obvious conflict of interest here if New Girl doesn’t do well with the stuff I give her. Hopefully she’s legit fantastic, although I feel bad wishing Mean Girl on her.

Same. We congratulated her.
I have a ton of non-binary friends. I still struggle a little with “they” pronouns, but I’m finding it gets easier with practice.

That totally sucks. It’s hard to lose your relationship with your parent like that. Best wishes to both of you.
There is this group of children in this HOA i’m visiting who have these tiny car things that they are speeding around the HOA with. Is this legal? It seems dangerous, like either they will get hit by an actual car or they will hit a pedestrian or a dog. We were walking the dogs a few days ago and I had to be super careful that the dogs stayed out of the street because these little idiots were racing about and would hit them. Yesterday I was walking around and saw a group of 3 of these tiny cars. At one point, it looked like there was a kid that was maybe a year or two old in one of them with an older kid. Yesterday there was a kid that couldn’t have been older than maybe 6 driving his own. fucking annoying. I want to go all Karen on their asses and call the police.
I think they are motorized go-karts
Why do you hate fun?
oh, i just googled it. it is most definitely NOT legal. Karen commencing!

because it makes it that i’m terrified to walk the dogs and impinges on my enjoyment. it’s also likely illegal.
i don’t care if they get run over otherwise since they apparently have shit parents.
I believe I thanked her for letting us know.
My issue with pronouns is adjusting, after knowing someone a certain way for a long time.
I don’t think I know anyone who goes by “they” and pronouns are easier when your actually with the person.
And if these kids get run over and killed who is responsible for it? The unfortunate person just driving their car? I really hope someone else in the complex reports them as i don’t actually live here and surprised it hasn’t happened yet
Why would a Karen have to live there?
The unfortunate person driving a car that’s not acting responsible for their car hitting someone else?
If you’re driving a car, it’s YOUR responsibility to watch for and be prepared for kids. If there’s kids around driving toy cars like idiots, you don’t rant about laws. You drive like there’s children around who’s speed and direction are basically random events.
Always. No exceptions. No excuses.
Pre-emptive ‘I already said, no excuses’.
she wouldn’t. i just kinda feel like it’s not my turf to do that.
i suppose, but i’d still feel for that person where the kids shouldn’t be doing this in the first place and i’m guessing their parents bought them these go-karts for christmas like fucking idiots.
