honestly, same. but he's a very active volunteer for the church in their retirement/nursing home community so he does wear them. my grandmother said for christmas i should replace one of the shirts he's had "since they lived in (other place)" i.e. when my dad was in high school.

I want a quirky egg separator that makes it look like it's snot coming out of his nose and that bird mug with all the boob named species. I will likely end up buying them for myself.

What's up with this firehouse voting situation? We gotta vote for a new person next week?

>I'm supposed to go to Mexico in late January but I can't find my passport 🙃 so I hope I find that soon.

I lost mine last summer, I did the expedited replacement and I think I got it back in about 6 weeks from sending in the forms at the post office. If you're under 8 weeks out I'd consider going to the DC passport office to get it same day if you can't find it, it's a pain for sure.

Was thinking of giving my fiance a staycation at the Jefferson for a couple of nights in January... anyone done that? Have never stayed there, is it worth it or is there another hotel I should look at? She loves fancy hotels and likes the idea of getting away from the pets and the mess for a weekend.

Please Santa, no more sickness! In the past 6 weeks, my household has had the generic preschool crud, the flu, strep, and now a lovely GI bug.

if you lived downtown and needed to buy a dress shirt for your 98yo grandfather, where would you go? trying to avoid driving out to short pump for the second time in a week

A new job (which I’ve secured), less car troubles for my ‘12 Forester that I adore, and to begin climbing out of my mountain of debt. Clear skin would be great, too. Stopped my rosacea medication because of pricing and all hell has broken loose.

Some bubbles with breakfast and a chill day under a big blanket.

Also, like, seeing my kids and stuff. But really counting on the blanket nap after bubbles.

I send a list every year for me and my s/o and keep a notes app on my phone with a running list of things mentioned by friends and family so I can always have a gift idea ready. My sister sent us hers for her and her husband and it says “ivf support and T shirts that aren’t just plain black. (Apparently we get him the same kind every year)😂) not a lot to go on this year

My parents moved to Florida last year and my mom is stressed about Christmas because it’s “too cold here” now 😂. I had to remind her of the first year in the USA when my dad had us in Lakevale Minnesota for the winter of ‘96 and we had 12 feet of snow. From South Africa to that was too cold.

For some people to pay me the back rent owed so I can feel a little less financially stressed.

I knew when I covered it at the time that it was a possibility I’d never see it again, and I’m ok with those choices because two people were in a really bad spot and needed compassion over business acumen, but they have stated it’s coming my way and it would be a huge blessing to have that stress off of my heart and soul.

Whoever said money doesn’t buy happiness has never been poor, financial security is so fucking major to health and happiness.

Also I’d like a new pair of tennis shoes and a pair of jeans that don’t have worn holes in the seat or don’t fall down after two hours
