I'm on Slowly, too! I have one penpal that I've been writing to for several years now!

From the sounds of it, the company's entire accounting system is done in a very old version of Excel. One Excel spreadsheet. Which is a very bad idea for so many reasons. If it's not backed up and gets deleted or corrupted.... everything is gone. Not to mention that there's so many better ways to do your main accounting than Excel. Excel has it's uses, just not....that.

I am so upset. There are no words. But there was no other community.

If you want something to replace soda and don't want artificial sweeteners, flavored carbonated water can scratch that itch. There's some that are low sugar and some that are no sugar. They have some really interesting flavors, too. La Croix is not a great brand, in my opinion.

I hate Walmart, but have to shop there because it's the only grocery store within reasonable distance of my house. Hopefully I won't live here much longer.

r/crochet and r/lotrmems the most!

Thank you for a serious answer. I would love it if a man did this for me after I expressed dislike about my appearance.

Your confidence is admirable. Keep being awesome.

I'm surprised I've made it this far. The only reason I have is because of my dogs. I guess I'll just keep getting them to keep me here. As one approaches old age, I'll get another. Assuming the loss of the old one doesn't do it.

You just blew my mind. Thank you for that. Also indirectly introduced me to a way to learn a new word a day.

Oh that must have been infuriating. I don't either! Their car must have been damaged, too!

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

It's basically a letter from a father to his son about all the concerns an African American person has regarding their children's safety. That is a very poor explanation of this book. It's one of the few books I have read that has shaken me to my soul. I have been forever changed by this book. As a white person, it opened my eyes to things I never thought about. It is a captivating and moving read, but you will not view the world the same way ever again.

I haven't stitched on black aida, but I when I stitched, I used these magnifying glasses that had little LED lights on them. They were rechargeable and you could turn the lights on or off. If lighting isn't a concern for you, maybe just having a zoomed in view of what you're doing would help. There's other options than glasses, as well. I think the glasses are the least expensive and the bonus is that they're helpful on projects that use other colors of aida.

Thank you.

I, too, like to imagine that karma will get them. But you're right, there is no such thing.

Audiobooks, music, a podcast (DNA ID). It depends on my mood and what I'm doing. If I need to concentrate a lot, music. Otherwise, one of the other two.

What have you done? Anymore recommendations? This might become a new obsession.😂

You have put me in an impossible position! I can't decide between Owl and Hedwig!

Thank you.

Saving your response because I really want to read these. I love it when I come across a post like this. Teach me all the things I didn't know that I need to know! Healing together is the only way that we can move forward in a way that is actually progressive. Thank you for sharing.
