Lol I don't think I made it more that five, I was too busy laughing at the awful dialogue. Just so, so bad.

Here!

As a kid I saw park benches and public useful things with signs "paid for by state lotto dollars" so I figured it goes to a good cause (at least in some places).

Sending love and thank you for being a spark of light even when it's so hard to do that.

Since it’s coming up on tax season:

Remember that TurboTax lobbies with significant dollars to keep the system so complex so you’ll feel the need to use them.

There are free alternatives that work just as well.

If you haven’t yet, this is the year to finally ditch TurboTax.

Twister!
