Amazing, and with pictures even for some! Seems to be a fair amount of ethnic dishes. This may be controversial but the only thing missing is an option for feedback. Sometimes a recipe attempter on the bloat sites will find something off (too much salt) and offer their thoughts. I do like checking comments out before trying something as a recipe failure has a little more financial cost nowadays.
Definitely bookmarking though and seeing how I can support.
Took a peek and it’s not bad. I like the in-process pics. Sometimes it’s helpful to know what it’s supposed to look like as you go along. Craving banana bread now, thanks.
I use TurboTax ina free way - calculate all my taxes using their amazing software and then when the numbers match on the free site, I file there. That’s the beauty of TurboTax that you can exploit. I feel it’s fair game knowing they make the software open and then trick people who have calculated everything out to pay a ridiculous amount for the filing fee at the end.
Agree, would rather my money went to a local firm with an actual person who I can consistently contact for questions. Did this a few years ago for an especially challenging tax year. Absolutely 0 regrets - if I had done it via self-serve software I would’ve missed out on quite a few unknown tax assists that the accountant found.
On Friday, an international Delta flight bound for sunny Barcelona was forced to U-turn back to its starting point, Atlanta, for an exceedingly rare air travel horror: a passenger had suffered diarrhea throughout the plane’s aisle so extensively that completing the flight was deemed untenable....
I share that sentiment- that poor person. To society’s credit, I have not yet seen any posts or articles with an image or their identity. Hopefully it stays that way.
That’s the unfortunate reality of the corporate overlord structure we’ve been living in for a while. If you’re financially strapped and must go in, inform your coworkers ahead of time so they can arrange their working space to be away from you (and also let them know their company policy is compelling you to come in). Double mask and eat your lunch away and outside the office if possible. Bring your own sanitizers.
I’ve had coworkers in this same situation and I don’t begrudge them for coming in under similar circumstances so long as they took personal precautions to minimize potential spread.
I absolutely love this. I know Shrek already did this, but maybe Disney could go this route as well with their reimagined classics. How does this sound: “The Little Merman.”
Nice to see you made the most of the holiday. Celebrated similarly by laboring a 12-hour day! No music like you though - just labor. The entire day I wondered why I don’t celebrate Labor Day in the purest fashion more often.
I’ve seen a video or two of that. I had also heard that people would attend his concerts to see him go off the rails. It’s so unfortunate he hated the song that brought him so much success. I know a lot of people think its been overplayed, but It’s just a fun, catchy, light-hearted song.
Not sure if this is your intent but your comment might be coming off the same as, “Why don’t you just stop being sad?” To people suffering from depression. Mental disorders and addictions are legitimate diseases and can be extremely complex to diagnose and treat. It’s really unfortunate that Steve Harwell died under those circumstances. His music brought joy to a lot of people.
I read somewhere that the US has one of the largest, if not THE largest, percentage of population incarcerated. I feel like there’s overall more people who know someone, at least some distant relative, who served time than not, so it’s shocking to see such a large outcry on even super liberal social media sites, like reddit, for prisoners to get raped, assaulted, killed and/or generally mistreated. So that empathy may be a long ways away.

This may be overly cautious, but I recommend making a log and gathering evidence for if/when this escalates further. Keep in mind that at 17 she is still a minor, so there is an additional burden of responsibility that is imposed upon you and your partner in every interaction you have with her. Get dates, times, and statements from your brother and partner on the 2 occasions she entered your home and slept over, in particular. The last thing you want to deal with is a false accusation from this kid who does not seem to regard nor respect your boundaries, which you have set clear at this point. Get security cameras. Document everything ongoing. I personally wouldn’t block her texts for now.
Next step is to inform her legal guardians, in this case her parents, that she is not welcome on your property nor to contact you or your partner. I would do it in some form of writing - email or text, again for the sake of evidence. At this point the responsibility for her actions shifts to them. If she is on your doorstep contact them directly and expect immediate action. You can also inform them that you have concerns over her mental health.
Once these are done, you have real actionable choices that you can take. I know it sucks having to feel like a bad guy in this scenario, but it sounds like she needs professional help. Her parents are the ones to blame here.
Got out of my last relationship for this reason (amongst other things). I was the everything person - cook, accountant, maid, landscaper, scheduler, fun planner, etc. It didn’t start that way of course - just little acts of service out of love that became the expectation over time. Are things more equitable in your...
I hope you are doing ok. If you are in my old situation, know that you aren’t alone.
I’m casually observing a lot of this with friends. Met a very accomplished lady recently who shifted from working in the investment banking sector into getting her licensing and a private practice to be a therapist. She worked her ass off with education and multiple part-time jobs to get her to where she’s at. Shockingly, she is a mommy-wife to a guy who doesn’t want to commit to marriage.

FTC judge rules Intuit broke law, must stop advertising TurboTax as “free” (arstechnica.com)
It’s about time that Intuit was called out for their scam. Hopefully, the attempt to stop the federal tax filing will get dismissed as well.
