Update for Everyone VII: Insert Something Philosophical Sounding Here

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Made the mistake of having drinks with my family. They decided this was the best moment to talk about my grandma's Alzheimer's and how it's so bad she likely won't recognize us within the next year. And to bring up how heavily it runs on my grandpa's side and he might end up like that too. My chest hurts from holding back how much it hurt to hear it out loud from everyone else.

So sorry to hear that.   Do you see your grandparents often?

Unfortunately not so often anymore because it's harder for them to travel and hard for me to fly back home (they live in Alaska). It used to be at least 2-3 months out of the year, either I fly there or they fly here, but it's been since winter 2016-2017 since I saw them. They plan to come down for a bit this summer, but it might be the last time we see my grandma and her still remember me.

I just went from not expecting to find a boyfriend for at least another year and a half (though my pessimistic mind said never) to finding out my coworker who I like is bi and likes me back to making him my first boyfriend in the span of 48 hours. Geez.

Now, how do I keep my parents from finding out...

So, had a pretty decent first date last Sunday with a girl who’s getting her degree in bass performance. Overall pretty positive experience. Supposed to meet up this coming weekend. Trying not to spend this entire week freaking out.

When you say bass performance I presume you don't mean fisheries management, but which of the musical basses do you mean?

She used to play standup bass, but in this case bass guitar.

I'll be fine, I think (hopefully? lol).

I start work next week and have no place to live because all of my living situation plans get interrupted with crazy developments.


Just frustrated with this entire year because it has been like this all year. Consistent inconsistency.

Was not selected for jury duty.

Fairly easy in Johnson County, IA if you say one Republican viewpoint.

Going to court for the first time tomorrow morning for a case management conference. They're kind of throwing me to the wolves but it should be a lot of fun!

They must have asked about tax cuts, the only Republican viewpoint he has.

He is Republican on almost all the economic issues


Plus even on issues like Abortion he still I believe has said he would support a 20-24 week ban.

He said he supported something Obamacare-esque and a higher minimum wage, which makes him a communist to the GOP.

Only a 20-24 week ban? Communist and a baby killer.

So did Trump in 2015 and 2016 lol (on the min wage)


and Kasich I believe only supports a 20 week ban and is even more liberal than RINO Tom on the issue of Healthcare and so was Romney as well.

In fact I believe most Republican voters opposed the GOP bill on Healthcare as well lol.

IceSpear trolling aside, I was kidding.  Didn't talk once.  I was called back the day after I was excused (she said this was the second time this has happened in the 20+ years the lady had worked there), so I was the backup of the backups.  Got to leave at 11:30 and had the day off.

P.S.  "Republican viewpoint" in Johnson County, IA is probably even well to the left of me, LOL.  Not that anyone here should even care.

EDIT: IceSpear, you made me want to take the PM test again, haha.  We'll see if I am smart enough to link it.
