In the world of Save. Spend. Splurge.
What I liked this week:
- LOL @ Animal Problems.Β Water Awesomes. π
- Baby red pandas. That is all.
- Terminally ill patients asking for their Last Wishes. They’re all poignant & tearjerking. You can donate here, like I did.
- Taylor Swift made a million bucks a day in 2015. A MILLION a day. You know, I never really knew who she was or heard her songs until Kanye put her in the spotlight with his uncouth remarks. Interesting how now all I hear, is about T Swift who seems like a very lovely person.
- I loved looking at everything Cassie from The Minute Glass packedΒ for her trip to Denmark.
- I’m suspicious of Trader Joe’s. I want to believe, but I can’t help feeling a nagging sense of doubt, so reading this article about them has been enlightening, not to mention the fact that they’re owned by the same family who owns Aldi in Europe. And yes, I know Aldi very well.
- *sniffle*… This video is so sweet. Little girl goes to hug her Daddy coming back from war. They sacrifice so much not just their physical lives but their emotional ones, and the ones of their families. *sniffle* *honk*
- Pre-nups from Egyptian times. They were more modern and advanced than we are in some ways.
- These students are ENTERPRISING!! Class notes for sale. Wow.
- Living art on Etsy; these plants are just gorgeous. I’d totally buy this once I have a home.
- This woman creates the most amazing art out of gemstones.. these installations are HUGE, colourful & beautiful
- I LOVE stories like this — a prematurely bornΒ baby 30 years later, saves the doctor who saved him…. and I can’t remember if I shared this video but it still makes me cry.

The last wish foundation in the Netherlands sounds amazing. We need to do this in every country.

What’s got you suspicious about Trader Joe’s? I grew up near them all my life and started shopping there pretty regularly in college. It’s now one of our regular grocery spots. Costco, TJs and occasionally Vons. Come to think of it, I have never, in 15+ years, ever had a single negative experience with an employee there. All either positive or neutral. That is a weird realization. And LB was just given stickers last weekend π the guy asked if ze was too young and I said it was fine so he tore off a strip for hir. Ze enjoyed licking them. π
I was very sad that they moved the store closest to my family away though.

SO my (state) university paid me to take notes in classes where there was a student with special needs (from blind, deaf, physical deformity with hand/arm, or even a broken arm/sleep issues). I wrote, and still do write, AWESOME notes. People in classes knew I was a notetaker, and I said ‘if you pay me the same an hour, I’d do it for you’ but nope, no one wanted to offer the $25 per hour for my time.
When I graduated, colleagues were in the same course (colleagues who schooled me pre interview, and without that I may have not got my foot in the door). I gave my notes to those still studying, as once I was graduated, I knew I’d have little to no need for highly technical engineering notes.
