What was she thinking????

Here's the story:

There's a lot we don't know:

-- Was her house fully paid for?  Encumbered by a mortage?  Underwater?  How long had she lived there?

-- What was her job?  How long had she been working?  We know it was part-time employment.

What we DO know is this:

-- This is a woman who placed little value on her home and her job and thought the grass was greener in someone else's yard.  She was looking for someone to pick up the slack in her life.  I'd call her a gold digger.  And a whiner.  I have no sympathy for stupidity.  Or greed.  The final paragraphs in the article say it all.

One of the things I love best about this article is the graphic and caption: "Here's a full list of everything that life owes us."  Amen.

Digression.  If you have any doubt about the truth in the air-borne spread of virus molecules, consider this:  when I sit on my second floor balcony (not wearing a mask) and someone walks by in the parking lot below (about 10-20 feet away from me), within seconds I can smell his/her aftershave/perfume.  

Stay well, stay safe.  Please wear your mask.

MYOB/STFU

 I recently added a new rule to my list of rules for successful condo living:

1. Be considerate of your neighbors.

2. Follow the rules/regs.

3. Pay your bills promptly. (That one backfired on me recently, I paid my condo fees/utils before the bill was officially rendered and under-reported my water use by 20 gallons and was presented with an $0.80 bill. How does one write a check for 80 cents???  I figured it out.  Better that than being hit with a late payment fee and (gasp!) charged interest on my unpaid $0.80 balance.)

Here's the new rule:

4. MYOB/STFU.

Mind my own business/shut up about it.  No whining, no complaining, no tattle-tale, no "if you see something, say something."  Nope.  Not going there.  No one died and made me the hall monitor.

There are too many people who take it upon themselves to police others and tattle about it.  No thank you. I sit on my balcony, book in hand, iced tea within easy reach, and I'm grateful for what I have.

Stay well.  Stay safe.  Wear your mask.
