   Happy new year everybody. I'm still here! I take my mom to wound care once a week, I went to San Antonio to visit family for Xmas, and a short day trip to Oklahoma to grab some vintage furniture. These two weeks off from work are filled with.....work! I haven't accomplished nearly anything that I thought I could. I've been trying to clean some "new" vintage furniture for my son's room for almost a month but it's so dirty I have to do piece by piece. I feel I'll never get it all done.

     FA will still be needed…

     I donated one time and signed up for $20 a month. 10 people at $20 would do it?

     @Bryan - Was goal met on monthly donations?

     And thank you for setting up and managing.

     So right now I'm Cinderella, but hopefully I'll be done scrubbing soon and can engage a little more. Can anyone tell me if we had enough contributions to keep FA going? I did chip in, but I know that my little bit wasn't enough to do it. If we're shutting down please tell me what's the plan moving forward.

     Best wishes to all for a better 2025. 2024 was one of the most difficult years I've had, even more than the Covid bullshit years. 2025 is getting off to an ominous start though 😬

     @MMA Last I asked @Bryan we were good thru January due to one time donations. Not sure if we've got enough monthly yet. I did a big one time myself, but will be signing up for a monthly shortly.

     The furniture came from a run-down house that's being sold for 50% of list value for that neighborhood, if it were in decent condition. Walking through, I got the impression that the couple barely could afford the house and never could make any kind of improvements, or even maintain it very well.

     Same for their furniture! I'm cleaning literally 50 years of dust and grime off these pieces. In one of the nightstands, I found sticky puddled soda that dried solid. Lazy and inexcusable!

     I'm sure it will look great when it's completed but right now I'm in the phase where everything is very messy while I clean the furniture so I'm out of sorts and in a perpetual bad mood. I hate topsy-turvey.

     This furniture was a great price but it is the dirtiest I've ever purchased and I've used almost half a bottle of (concentrated) Murphy's Oil Soap already. I still have to scrub out the drawers and shelves of the armoire. I have some major stain repair to do, too. Ugh!

     Called it from miles away.
     
     He was already censoring people long ago anyway. This time it's just right-wing people again.
     
     He previously censored people calling others "cis."
     
     I think "cis" is an ill-defined and ultimately sexist concept, so I wouldn't defend calling people cis.
     
     But I would damn well protect someone's right to call others "cis" without being censored. (Earlier today someone actually called me "pissy cissy" which I thought was hilarious.)
