    There are simply certain topics in this world that if someone tries to talk to me about, my eyes automatically glaze over. Like football, insurance, stocks and bonds, gossip about others, telling me step by step how to cook something.

    So when I was hanging with the niece (8) last weekend she pointed to my rainbow unicorn keychain that I keep hooked to my purse and said, "I like that, can I have it?" I told her no because it was my souvenir from Cali. She's like, "How much do you want for it."" How much do you have?""$120". I tell her that's way too much and then I said that I paid $3 tops for it. "$3? I'll give you $20 ".
    👀 Who tf is this kid??? I didn't make the sale because it was never up for sale and she has no concept of money smh.

    You should have taken all of her money.

    .... and then some.

    $120 for the down payment, finance the balance at a confiscatory rate.

    Chalk it up to a Life Lesson when she complains later in life.

    There’s still time to rip her off.

    I’m sure that you’re up to the challenge.

    I don't actively do IF, but if I don't eat after supper (say I stop eating at 8PM) and then don't eat breakfast till 8AM isn't that IF?? I'm not trying to hate on IF, but isn't break-fast literally the breaking of a fast every morning (or whenever you eat your first meal depending on your sleep schedule)? Even when I wasn't WFH I'd probably stop eating around 8PM and eat breakfast at around 7AM before I left for work. Isn't this just "normal" meal routine? (I know some folks work different hours so the time of day could look different).

    I feel like this is coming across as rude, and I don't mean it to be. I just don't understand (I know some IF says fast for like 20 hours eat for 4, which I could never do because I am usually hungry when I wake up). Anyway, this is what's on my mind as I pretend to study.

    Random thought....it’s groups like K-Ci & JoJo and other 90’s singers that screwed up my thoughts of what love would look like as a grown up.

    There is a place in time somewhere in a deep dark corner in hell with my name on it where that song plays all day long...

    And for the record boys to men, TLC whatever we're talking about here none of these groups really had anything to do with these songs other than performing them...

    What, you weren’t listening to Rod *kitten* Stewart and the oldies as a 7th grader? I cannot with you. 😂

    The first CD I ever bought with my own money when I was 13 or 14 was...

    The best of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles...

    Still hands down the greatest songwriter of all time... 💕
