Some people didn't even bother closing up shop; they just kept on grinding through it all. 😬

Done! 😍

I wish. 😍

Is there any way you can bring a plus one along?
If you're open to it, I'm volunteering. I promise to be such a massive nuisance regarding altitude and flight jitters that you'll basically be forced to let me tag along just to get some peace and quiet. 😍

$333 in a consumer voucher. 🙂

🤣

I picked up some socks at , $23, and honestly, I have zero complaints so far! 😉

Arthur Ross said:What we actually care about is finding a spot in the Brooklyn area where you can leave your car from 8 AM to 3 PM without worrying about being charged for parking.

Honestly, finding free parking in those neighborhoods isn't much of an issue.

ORGAN DONATION FROM DECEASED INDIVIDUALS

Section 22.

Body parts from deceased individuals may only be harvested for transplant if the donor did not expressly opt out in writing during their lifetime.

An adult of sound mind may submit a written declaration refusing donation, as described in paragraph 1, to their primary care physician.

So, basically, we’re all considered organ donors by default unless we explicitly tell our family doctor otherwise and get it on paper, right? 🤔

As for me, I've got my donor card ready to go and everything—I'm an open book when it comes to donating all my organs. 😍

Preach! 😬

I can't even face the commute to work when the weather is this crappy. Maybe if I actually owned some decent thermal gear, things would be different. 🤷
On days when everything feels this miserable, I usually just end up walking with my headphones on and call it a win. 😍

Damn, looks incredible. Honestly, hats off to him! 👍

Ronald Cox96 said:What job ☕

Whether it's the office or the stock exchange, doesn't matter! 😉
I've got my own little routine heading to work—haven't bothered to measure it because, honestly, why bother?
I'm pretty sure it's about half a mile or so. ☕ I make the trip every single day with my dog, just a quick loop back and forth. 😍

Eric Sanchez11 said:last year? last year was actually this year 🙂

and then there's this year! 😍
honestly, who has the mental capacity to keep track of all this!? 😬

Just like last year, this Sunday is turning out to be another workday. 😢

Why does it feel like we’re just spinning our wheels, repeating the exact same arguments over and over again...🤷

darktiger21 said:So they shut down an entire downtown block just because of you?

👍

Daniel Martin12 said:Yeah, honestly, it’s great. I kept putting it off, telling myself I’d start tomorrow, but I finally just bit the bullet.
Now that I’ve broken the ice, I barely even touch my car to get to work—at least not when the weather is actually decent.
Even a few of my coworkers mentioned today that they’re thinking about making the commute by bike too. I guess the hardest part is just getting started; once you find your rhythm, it just becomes part of the routine .

That's true, you're spot on..👍
It works like a chain reaction around here; one person starts doing it, then everyone else follows suit, and it really is...👍
I've been biking to the office lately; it's not a massive distance, but since I stay late most days, I'd rather not deal with the hassle of driving back and forth.😁

There you go, a solution for anyone who actually needs one. 👍

Rush, don't be jealous; if you've got something too, just put it out there. 😬

Laura Davis44 said:My godson was asking for some kind of jewelry, but he’s just not into accessories, and he definitely doesn't want a watch. I really didn't want to just get him another phone, especially since he just got a new one anyway. It honestly feels so underwhelming. I really wanted to give him something meaningful, a real keepsake... but I guess at least we ended up getting him something he actually wants... 🤷

None of my kids wanted anything either, which isn't surprising...😬 They aren't big on jewelry, and they already have their computers, so everything else is pretty much a non-starter. 🤷I ended up getting him a watch, along with a little keepsake just in case he decides to sell the watch later down the road. 😬
At least he'll have something to hold onto—a small leather prayer book with a handwritten note inside. 😉

Well, that’s "all settled" then..😍 We wrapped everything up yesterday, and honestly, it was just wonderful—great company and a perfect atmosphere..😍 The service at the church was organized perfectly, everything went smoothly, and we were out in about an hour and forty-five minutes.. After that, we all hung out for a bit and grabbed lunch, which is how these things usually go nowadays.. My little guy was actually quite surprised by his gift; he kept mentioning how much he loves his new watch..😍 On top of that, he got a little keepsake and a card..😉 We ended up bringing the cake ourselves in the end, so it turned out to be 👍.. All in all, it was a beautiful celebration and a lovely day..😍 Now I'm off to get some much-needed rest..😁 I might post a photo of me and my handsome godson later on if I'm feeling up to it..😍

It would be awesome if we could all step up (and look, I know people feel like they have to—I definitely feel that pressure myself), but what happens when you just... can't?
I mean, if you're "ordering a gift"—that’s a whole different ballgame...
Look, I got a massive pile of high-value gifts when my kids were born. I know we’re talking about the crisis here, but hey, giving is giving—the occasion doesn't really matter, regardless of what you said. But honestly? I won't be able to pay it forward like that. Especially not for the ones in the family who are expecting soon; I've got a few of them coming, but things are just way too tight with money right now.
So... what am I even supposed to do about it?

Maybe one day I'll get my revenge on the rest of you—depends entirely on when everyone decides to start having kids. 😁

It doesn't even matter—we'll be there regardless, even if he's the godfather and not me. 😁 But hey, it’s totally optional.

That's the plan; everything remains exactly as it was, except we're cutting the cake out of the equation..
