Just got word that my 60th high-school reunion is ON!

It will be in September, so surely all the old people will be fully vaccinated. It's in Louisiana, though, so there might be some anti-vaxxers; I'm not going to hug anybody if I can help it.

Funny how time is the great equalizer. I was never a popular girl, but I'm still here. In a class of hundreds, I am the youngest, at 76.

Sound of Metal (no spoilers)

For me, this movie took a little while to get going. Once it did, I was blown away by Riz Ahmed's performance. He deserves his Oscar nomination.

When a stranger calls you from your husband's phone...

You first think he's been in an accident. Nope, it's just Home Depot letting you know they found his phone on a pile of garden hoses.

The best thing is when he walks in the door and plunks down the timer he bought, and you tell him the news, and he starts patting all his pockets. 🤪

What I don't understand is how they made the call if the phone was locked.

There's a 1040-SR form now, TurboTax tells me.

I had no idea until I printed out a copy of our return after e-filing. If you do your taxes by hand, Google says, the print on the forms is larger. Maybe there is some other benefit too, otherwise why would TurboTax bother to use it?

Caution if you use Zelle.

I've never seen a better phishing email than two I got from my bank today regarding my usage of Zelle. (I've used it to send my grandkids money.)

They knew the last four digits of my checking account number and the bank email was spoofed very well. They messed up by sending two, because each gave a different reason for suspending my Zelle access.

I forwarded the emails to the bank's spoof address. I hope these bastards get shut down, but there are always crooks to take their place.

Please don't tell me my shots aren't working because I had zero side effects.

That's the flip side of people saying, "Oh you know it's working if you have side effects!"

I've had both Pfizer shots and had no reaction whatsoever. Please don't imply there's something wrong unless you're a doctor with proof. Thank you.
