    Why does the tap water at work smell like fish?

    Oh my bad.
    The end cap of my left ear bud just fell off while I’m on the elliptical 😑

    After a trail run I sat on a cliff and admired the view until my brand new ear bud slipped out of my ear and I sadly watched it roll off the cliff. Thanks small sweaty ear holes 😪

    Thankfully mine was only hiding under the elliptical 😆

    I remember when lashes were $12.99 for a pack of five. Now, they are $24.99.

    I'm not having kids.

    Did you give your wedding speech ?

    My sweet dd's ex boyfriend, he did a cruel number on her, and she even took him back after they split. Then he joined the service and started posting pictures of him and a new girlfriend. Needless to say, her first couple years of college was terrible for her. I don't think she ever really got over him, even though she's been with a great guy for 6 years now. She has a therapist who she likes so talks things out with her and it helps.
    So I sent her a text to see if she was feeling better(last week she'd had some physical issues). She said yeh, it was just a very emotional and depressing weekend. My over active imagination thought maybe something terrible happened. So I asked her if everyone was ok and if her cat was okay. She told me her ex sent her a long text. :s I just wanted to beat the *kitten* out of him. He treated her like complete *kitten* and had the gall to reach out to her again.
    Good grief, once you're an ex leave the poor person alone, haven't you caused enough hurt???

    Zwift races lol..even though its just fun, I suck at sprints and can never predict the breakaways, doing most the race as a solo effort. I'm putting out more watts (average)...need to be smarter... I can only get top 3 on ultra long endurance races.

    The Deshaun Watson decision. It is a slap on his wrist and a slap in the face of not just the women directly affected, but all women.

    Me, being super competitive.

    When im playing a game with someone/people. I'm cursing them out in my head, even acting a little cocky, smug and arrogant.

    I end up winning, but they end up giving me props, being completely good sports and so kind in the end.

    Makes me feel bad after 😑 I need to relax.

    The market has slowed considerably where I am. Houses aren't selling in less than a day or max 2 days for $200k or more over the asking price, buyers are waiting with the hopes of getting a deal...I have been a buyer and now I'm a seller so I have seen this first hand and I'm getting frustrated waiting for my house to sell. There's lots if showings and interest but people just want a deal these days. I can't fault them I was doing the same with a beautiful fairly newly built house, waiting for the price to be lowered and the sellers to be desperate, I ended up buying another that needs a bit of work because it was a super good deal and I can stay in my neighbourhood

    Yes i see this a lot more now. But to me its what a normal market is. Its the way it was just 3 yrs ago.....and interest rates are still lower than they were back when i bought my personal house in 2001. The crazy housing market that rushed in with Covid was nice but its gone. I know a few people that got into flipping houses just because the market was so hot. But now are done because its reverted to what was basically normal but now looks horrific compared to the last couple if years. Im still buying and selling, and yes i am more cautious because people are still not adjusting to the current market and still over valuing their houses. But for me its time to be careful but the market is far feim dead. And there is far less competition now too.

    Not having my phone at work 😒

    There’s an opening in my agency. Having your phone is a must. You’d also look amazing in my uniform… I mean our department issued Class A uniform. 😏 🤗

    The market is still really good for sellers right now so if you need to lower the price a little it might be a good idea. I have a feeling next year the prices are going to plunge. However, I can be completely wrong. It's just a feeling.

    It's not good for sellers here. My area had a frenzy at the start of the year like houses selling in hours for way over ask so really the market has corrected itself and has become a buyer's market. We reduced the price to what seems to be the magic number for generating multiple offers so fingers crossed. I mean really it's not a horrible market it's just tilting to buyers who can wait and try to get a deal which, I can't fault because we did that and got a deal on the house we bought
