I do not want to have to walk over to the fan (over the bed) and pull the chain! I want to flip the switch right next to the door like god intended

Ha ha my parents house is wired that way. It was a nightmare when we moved in but in most rooms now it goes to a main lamp or else you have to pretend it’s 1802 and stumble around to find a lamp. I’m excited for the future occupants to gut and improve the house

My living room is wired this way. I rarely use the ceiling fan and the outlet that the switch by the front door turns on I don’t have a lamp at. So I walk over to the corner where the lamp is and turn the switch like prehistoric times.
I did have to turn the switch on this weekend when I used an iron at that plug.

Why is it $1500 for family photos if we want access to more than a handful of photos? I’ve reached out to a few photographers and they all have similarly outrageous pricing. Looks like we’re going to be figuring it out on our own!

Wow, when I was a photographer, a lot of people charged extra for the digital images but $1500 for a family session is too much!!

I had to call my mortgage company and after making it thru the phone tree which was no small task, the “person” who answered my phone announced herself to be an AI assistant. She sounded totally realistic and it’s freaking me out.
Additional TC, I’ve been trying for 2 hours to get thru the phone tree and thru the AI assistant to find out information about recasting my mortgage. Our mortgage broker suggested I look into that too in addition to refinancing to see what’s the better deal. I would if I could but I keep getting kicked back to the beginning of the phone tree! At one point I did make it to a real person, who grilled me on why I was not interested in a refi with them, then said he would transfer me to the recast department and - back to the beginning!
I’m inclined to give up. At this point I don’t really want to do business with this lender at all, if it’s this hard to get a very basic piece of information out of them.

My Costco gas station is under construction. Ughhhhh. They just reopened the expanded parking lot and rotisserie chicken area. Maybe one day I can get both gas and chicken…

I would not do business with that lender. Abominable customer service is a perfectly good reason to be a hard no-thank-you.

Cheap drugstore reading glasses do not have a long life. Nor do the fun gothy readers that cost like $7 and ship from China. Shocked pikachu face!
(Another one bit the dust last night.)

There’s a pop up Olivia Rodrigo concert in Brooklyn tonight and I didn’t see it was happening until an hour after the tickets went on sale.

I get all of mine from Dollar Tree. I have a fancy pair of bifocals from the optometrist, but I never wear them. I just buy like ten pairs at a time for $1.25 and then I can have them everywhere I might need them and don’t have to worry about taking care of them.

I never considered this! Thank you! I need to go there anyway for a specific crafting item.

My optometrist said I can try that if I want and it would be as effective as getting the prescription ones

Another Dollar tree reading glasses convert here. I have maybe 20 scattered around anyplace I might be. Purse, backpack, car, coffee table, etc. I round up the strays periodically. Only had 2 pairs break so far.

Dude, I am getting emails from a fragrance website that I visited but did not give my information to.
Big Brother is super fucked up.

One time I looked up litter boxes and then i got so many ads for kitty bathrooming and I hated it. I forced it to change on Facebook, at least. I looked up houseplant subscriptions and then as soon as I started getting plant ads on Facebook, I clicked on them. Click, click, click. Pretty soon, all I saw on Facebook was plants and it was much nicer.
