If it doesn’t come off easily (I’ve had good luck with rubbing it for a minute or two with an ice cube), then that is what Goo Gone is for. I love that stuff, forgives (or repairs) many a sin.
I would have been mighty mad myself.
Unless it had unspeakable amounts of maltitol or some other sugar alcohol in it, the mystery car gum shouldn’t make her sick. I used to eat car cereal and other under-seat goodies all the time with no ill effects.
Good luck with the window residue though.
I made it to the age of 51 after many years of “purse gum”, so I’m sure she’ll be fine.
I second Goo Gone for the residue. That stuff is a miracle worker.
The rest of us will be the judge of that /snark/
So far, she’s be alright. And we got the majority of it off the window with just some elbow grease. It’ll all be ok.
Yanno one night ima gonna snip the ever lovin fuck out of that raggedy ass ponytail because your limp 3 inches just hangs there like the entrails of hair nasty I clean from the shower drain. Cut. It. Off!!!’
My youngest brother (mid-fifties) has become virulently anti-BLM. He regularly posts things on Facebook about how BLM is responsible for attacks on police, vandalism, etc. He was always a big sports fan, but he recently posted that he will no longer watch baseball, football, basketball, and NASCAR because of the “taking a knee during the anthem” actions, which he says is anti-patriotic, anti-police, etc, etc.
I don’t engage with him on any of this, but I don’t want to block him because he’s my primary source of info on how his daughters are doing. However, assuming that I’m able to visit Chicago for Christmas, I’m not looking forward to what may happen if he starts spouting off at the family gathering.
Can you friend your nieces on F-Book? That’s what my sister does, so she knows much more about how our kids are doing than we do.
And, sorry you have to deal with this. I’m often muttering “How can two people with similar genetic material be so different?”
They’re about 16 (twins) and I’m not sure if they have their own accounts, but I could look into that. I also have another niece (my sister’s daughter) who posts quite a bit; she’s in her 30s and has an immune-deficiency disorder, so she posts a lot on facebook about idiots who won’t wear masks.
That would explain a lot, actually. 
Dorothy, how ya hangin’ in there?

We were supposed to close on the sale of my mother’s house on Thursday. That was changed yesterday to next Tuesday. I had set up disconnect of the utilities for Thursday. I’m now on the phone to change that date. There are 137 calls ahead of me.
Goddamn robo calls. I’m doing time in a rehab facility and keep getting calls on my room phone from people running for office. If you want me to vote for you, you’re absolutely going about it the wrong way.
I once scheduled utilities to be shut off on my place two months ahead of time, thinking I’d get the phone calls out of the way. The gas company screwed up and shut me down a month early.
I had a gas oven and gas water heater. I figured I’d pick up takeout for a month and take ice-cold showers, thinking it’d be no big deal.
It was a big deal.
When my kids were little, we used to run out of propane from time to time and have to take cold showers. We called it “taking the Ice Challenge”. Whoever was in the shower could scream all they liked, the others would just shudder in dread of their turn… One of the many ways I scarred my children.
Hah! And speaking of utilities…I just got a text from work ((I left at 1:30). She was worried about a phone call she just got; a recording from the electric company alerting us that power would be shut off in 30 minutes for non-payment. “To pay by credit card remain on the line and an operator will…”.
I explained that:
- that ain’t how they do it.
- the electric company account is paperless/auto-paid
Fucking scammers. That’s why I don’t have a credit card for my employees to use for “emergencies”.
We had an electric water heater at the house where I grew up; once, the element died during the summer, and Dad didn’t understand why it was so urgent to have something done about it – why would you want a hot shower that time of year? 
I told the real estate agent last night that I had changed the date to Tuesday and she said, no, it has to be the day after the closing. Gah! She couldn’t have told me that at some point? So I had to call again today. Fortunately, there were only 35 calls ahead of me.
I just want this all to be over with. It’s been almost 6 months since my mother died and there has been something stressing me out about settling all this every single day. I just have to get through the closing now. It will be me, my brother and the attorney so I’m feeling somewhat ok with it, mainly just to get it done. But it will be weird to be in an enclosed space with people. I’ve only been in a structure not my home one other time in the last 4 months.
Jesus whatthefuck Christ. I just wanna pull up YouTube on my Xbox. It asks me for my login - since that works on my phone, I use same credentials.
Nope.
Try setting up new login. I keep getting a red error about how I shouldn’t use my name or email as my password.
It’s not, assholes! I finally tried “FuckYou@123” to hit all the capital/speshul symbol crap … and still get the same red error. Don’t use your name or email address
My email is not, I assure you, FuckYouanythingattheend at whatever the fuck dot com.
Nor is my name.
My husband broke his leg in a workplace accident on September 6, 2019. For reasons both medical and Covid-related, it’s taken until a few weeks ago to get him into a light-duty transitional job (he performs work at a non-profit, his regular employer pays him, said non-profit gets his services at no cost to them that I know of).
Appointment with the orthopedic surgeon today yields the news he’s not healing up as much as he should be, will require a second surgery in a few weeks. Allegedly, this one should, after recovery time, have him back to his normal job within a couple of months. I am out of FMLA-protected time off (have hit my 12wk/12mo cap) and am having problems with my employer about absences for my own illnesses, so cannot afford much if any time off for this. Also, we were already trying to figure out how to bridge a gap between his current supply of insulin and when his employer’s medical coverage kicks back in, and that gap just extended another month or two. Ugh.
