    Really getting tired of my bank and their mortgage deferral BS. Yes, some people will have no alternative but to defer a mtge while they are out of work. The banks aren't doing it out of charity. They'll make it up later when you have to pay all the deferred interest . Anyway , today I received another puke inducing , bull 💩 laden email from the bank, about how they're here for us in these difficult times blah blah blabbity *kitten* blah. Delete it and opened the banking app. Now there's a mortgage deferral application right across the screen with a giant accept button ... Right where I would press to access my account 🤬Almost like getting people to apply by accident.

    I have less than 3 yrs left. I'm considering borrowing from my parents to pay it off ;the penalty is 3 months interest. How's that for a deferral? 🖕😎

    Yeah, what most banks are offering is not a true forebearance. It all comes due at once. And they’re not all that transparent either

    True. Banks are the worst & housing/loans/mortgages are a mess right now. I feel sorry for those who are trying to sell their homes & perhaps buyers backed out or they had to cancel a sale to remain in their own homes just now.

    I was wondering about the same for renters. If they won't evict for non-pmt now... once the State of Emergency is lifted, then do they evict these poor people immediately, who've lost their jobs or have cut-down hours if they don't have a pile of cash down the line... where's it going to come from?

    I appreciate the $1,200 stimulus check I received yesterday & my housing is safe for the moment, however... it doesn't even cover 1-mo's rent.

    Wanna share those cookie calories? 😉

    I had an iced coffee instead. Still had calories but i can control myself a little better with that than with cookies. It also takes longer to consume, especially when i chew every ice cube. And the caffeine suppresses my appetite.

    Talking about my temptations both here and privately with a friend who also struggles seems to be helping today

    Somebody tell me what movie I’m thinking of.

    I remember a scene in a post-apocalyptic world in which a family is dangled over some kind of abyss, suspended by a rope? barbed wire? Anyway, a member of that family is forced to hold that rope thing until she can’t anymore and then her family plummets to their death. She then becomes part of the gang that set up that whole scenario

    Samsung s20plus. As a person who enjoys taking pictures of everything I was sold on the quality of the camera but the selfie side of it sucks so much. On my apps like IG and Snapchat the selfie options are garbage. Its so zoomed in its ridiculous.

    A bit of an aside, but for those of you craving sweets, who can't get to the store... or not wanting to buy a whole container for fear of eating them all... I've made this microwave chocolate cake in a mug & it is an excellent recipe. My mum wanted something easy & fast & she eats chocolate daily, so this was it. I don't know the calories, but it's a single serving (my mum got 2 servings out of it), the ingredients are small (nothing more than 3T of anything) & the taste & texture is wonderful. Cals should be easy to figure out with the MFP calc.

    I don't like sweets & rarely eat them, but did try this cake when I was testing recipes for her & it is excellent. BTW, I made it without chocolate chips, cuz she never had any & 2T of oil, rather than 3T & it was still great. (I did, however, coat the mug with oil before microwaving, since I cut back.)

    One tip, don't over-microwave or the texture isn't as pleasant. The recipe calls for 90-seconds, but in my mum's new m/w 75-secs was enough. Also, I tested a bunch of other mug cake recipes... she didn't like any others. And, any vanilla cake mug recipe I found was horrible.

    If you test it out, enjoy!

    It comes out just like this...

    The decline in quality journalism was preceded by an unwillingness on the part of consumers to give credence to anything nuanced and well-researched, anything that doesn’t state opinion as incontrovertible fact.

    Just write everything in comic sans and be done with it.

    One of my bunnies started hacking and foaming spit everywhere this morning so we called around to Three different vets and two were in surgery and one was off. So we start driving to one about 30 minutes away that wasn't picking up and I finally get a hold on them and their exotics vet is off today too! They still had someone else look at him though. We got x-rays done and turns out he's full of *kitten*! He's really constipated which is of no shock because we knew he'd go out this way. He eats EVERYTHING, sometimes even meat. So they injected him with water and gave him some meds and we have to see if he poops in the next 24 hrs. 🐰
    I’m sorry
