@houdatlisa @LilyValleylives I work almost every July 4th, at least a half day, unless it's a Saturday or Sunday. July is a very busy month for us, with Comic Con prep the first week and a half, then the convention and online orders to fill.
@LakotaMan1 I paid 2100 per year. With room and board it was 5k/year. Part time job during the school year and full time in the summer (10 weeks working) paid for it. 1993. Same school is now 25k for a year. Full time summer/ part time school year will pay maybe a semester tuition.
@tarhealer Back to work 3 weeks after my first, 3.5 with my second. A month with my 3rd, a preemie. 4 months with my 4th because her birth defect made daycare too expensive. None was paid time off.
@AP When I graduated high school in the 90s, 92% of my classmates went on to college. Current graduates now only 50%. Even community colleges are too $$.
@jaggedtrain@realTuckFrumper A childhood friend became a grandmother at 32. Her mom was 52 and a great grandmother. That kid is now 17 so technically they could each have an added Great by now.
@JoJoFromJerz Not a Colorado resident but I've known someone from her district for 20+ years who has always complained about the drugs in her area. It's not a new thing. What is Rep Boebert doing to facilitate change?
@nameshiv I make apple pie from a "recipe" I was taught starting as soon as I could watch. There are vague measurements on the filling. My brother wanted the recipe and I had to explain "if the apples are sweet, less sugar, if tart more sugar"
Screw your astrological sign. Tell me the first album you bought with your own money. No cheating. As proof I'm telling the truth and it might surprise you: *NSYNC's No Strings Attached
@greenleafgeek These 3 don't always get along. Tuxie is my grandkitty, Orson. Big ginger and white guy is McGee, and the tortie is Penny. The one thing they agree on is this cat tree, though they occasionally argue about their spot. McGee was slightly annoyed the others took his favorites.
@houdatlisa Hopefully your week has less ups and downs than last week. My week after vacation was much less stressful than usual. Other than the tornadoes on Thursday.
