Just got over poison ivy on my arms after 2 weeks (mostly on vacation).

The other day in a rush I grabbed a shirt off the floor to answer the door. It must have had some resin on the sleeve, because I got poison ivy again.

Can we just eradicate this dumbass plant? What good is it otherwise, besides being inspiration for a sexy femme fatale?

I read you can be accidentally burning it and casually inhale the goddamn resin smoke and mess up your lungs. That's bullshit.

I take mine off by bending down, as if I'm about to touch my toes, and slowly rolling it off. Doesn't take a noticeable amount of time.

I just grab the shirt's bottom and peel it upward, inverting it. That way it's inside-out when I wash it, exposing more of the sweat stained surface to cleansing soap and abrasion.

Our old church had a pie for Pioneer day.
We haven't really interacted with anyone from there for months but figured, "eh, free pie."
Pie was great but this guy came up to me, I hadn't seen him in 5+ years.
He said, "You used to teach at church. I wanted to let you know that I remember all your lessons and they've changed my life."

I don't even remember what I taught him.

INCONVENIENCES:

An old root canal has become infected, had to have the crown drilled off, and for a week I've been dealing with a cratered and capped tooth filled with antibiotics.
Exercising four days last week, felt great, but I may have overdone it. I've had a sore lower back for five days.
Saw an orthopedic doctor today, he twisted me around and made me feel better, but told me I need to lose weight.
Came home, my son had stomach problems, took him to the doctor, and it turns out there's a virus going around.

Son asked me to migrate his stuff from his beat-to-hell 3DS to his New 3DS; holy crap, there are so many steps. I guess it would be too hard to just be able to move the SD Card from one unit to another? In their defense, once I figured out how to deleted his unneeded newer Nintendo Network account and allowed the older 3DS permission to write over everything it found, life became easier. Also, Pikmin moving stuff is pretty cute for the first 10 minutes. After that, I'm like Move yo' asses, little Pikmins! Move it!

Went to dinner to my dad and stepmother. As always, discussion with her made me cringe hard : A multi pronged attack of "France is fucked economy wise", "Go work overseas, like in Australia" ("Well I know a couple people who went there and it's not that hot you know..." "Like backpacking ?" "

No to actually work in our field."), "your job will end up in India in two years", "all the companies / executives in your line of work are dinosaurs"... I wouldn't mind any of those points, but the overall negative attitude (and the visible condescension for blue collars floating underneath) is really grating. Especially from someone that hadn't found a stable job for a few years now despite her network and all the take-the-initiative talk.

I'm maybe just a bourgeois passing off as working class, but in moments like that I realize how wide the social gap is.

I've been working with a recruiter regarding this job I'm waiting for them to hire me fore. I emailed her the other day seeing if there was any new information and she originally said there wasn't any new info.

I wake up just now and I'm checking my email and I see she emailed me saying "Please give me a call!"

I don't know how old your pops and stepmom are VK, but in my travels (no ageism) there's a big gap in economic experience and outlook between baby boomers and people 30 or younger. The realities of the latter, especially coming from more successful socioeconomic stratum, are proletarianized to such a degree now that the former can't truly grasp their position in the scheme of things unless they have a proletarian background themselves.

Never was sure of the exact definition of a baby boomer, but my dad could maybe classify (my stepmother I am unsure but she is not that much younger. Born in the early sixties at best I suppose). It's really just her though, dad's family were craftsmen and to an extent a vague mindset of that still exists in both of us I think. There's definitely some of what you mention, the difficulty to reconcile her experiences with the current situation and the inability for people of those generations to cope with the fact that sometimes things do, in fact, decline.

Found a fraudulent charge on my AMEX a few days ago. Got it removed and the card canceled. They said it would be here yesterday, and naturally the card didn't come.

We went grocery shopping last night and I used my Visa card to pay for it. "NO AUTHORIZATION." I swipe again. "NO AUTHORIZATION." Not declined...just not authorized. I'm now holding up the line and can feel the death stares from angry suburban moms and the cashier.

So I run over to the ATM. It's some tiny bank I've never heard of before. Go through the motions and am told I can't take out any money. WHAT THE FUCK. Try again and get the cash, run back over and pay.

Get in the car to see about calling the credit card company and there's a text saying "Fraud Alert: Did you attempt to use your card at Kroger? Text 1 for yes and 2 for no."

I really wish iPhones had stronger vibration settings. I didn't feel anything when the text came!
