  • I hope she means personal property tax because that’s far more expensive than the registration. I actually don’t mind paying the registration because the place I live actually uses it back in the community. Matter of fact during COVID the DMV was really relaxed with missed deadlines and the county even gave us a rebate when they over collected. This bitch is crazy and I really hope this petty little promise of a handout backfires on her.

    My husband is disabled and receives SSDI (US). I did the math when he was awarded disability and he would be getting a lot more if we weren’t married. We had a very long discussion and long story short marriage was more important to us than money. Since we’re married the money is counted as income and I am the one who pays taxes on it. He qualified for Medicare too after the first five years on SSDI and that comes out of his benefits as well. I still buy insurance for him through my employer which I pay out the ass for but it’s worth it with his medical conditions and should I lose my job he still has his Medicare to fall back on. I dare say I pay almost as much for his medical needs as we get from the disability payments. We aren’t by any means rich but we have the basics and that’s enough. My heart breaks for him and others in the same or worse situations. His own family will say that they love him with one breath and then disparage those “freeloaders” with the other. Since the beginning of the year we’ve been religiously watching our bank account in horror wondering when the checks will just stop coming. It took years of hard work and tough decisions to get us both to a place of stability and productivity that now could disappear in an instant because we are the collateral damage in a rich folk’s pissing match. I hope they all rot in hell.







  • I’m really happy to see positive comments about people wanting kids even though I’ve chosen the child free route. It makes me happy to know that there are folks out there who want kids for the love of it even if it is hard. People should be able to make the decision themselves and do what’s right for them. I do believe it’s a worthwhile and rewarding endeavor but not one that should be half-assed.

    I would much rather take a video call with screen sharing any day than try to figure out what the hell someone is talking about over email. Most problems are user error and it’s so much faster to see them doing it in real time.

    Definitely a 9 today. It’s my first week of return to office and I need to make a good impression so naturally I woke up this morning at 4am with the shits. I called out but I’m sure I’ll be getting an earful tomorrow.
