Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 68 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. This is my idea of November weather! I have a couple of windows open to get some fresh air in here. Work was quiet today which was a good thing. Even better it is pay day! Now I'm free until Monday morning. I need to start going through the cabinets to find items that are still good that I want to donate to the food drive. They are so crammed that I don't even know what all is in them. I also need to pay some bills including my student loan. What's everyone else up to this afternoon?

Speaking of student loans, were you for or against student loan forgiveness? I think most people here were for it except for a few. Enjoy your days off.

I am for it. There has been a program for teachers (and other government workers I believe) for student loan forgiveness for years. My ex absolutely refused to consider it saying that I was responsible for paying it off. I was like "um you do realize that we share a bank account right? It would benefit you too." It was just like when he would rant about the annual raises I get each year saying that I was overpaid. Again bro it helped you too. I looked into that program when I was getting divorced but it was really complicated which I'm sure is on purpose to discourage people from applying for it. My ex could have figured it out but like I said he was against it.

@NJChicaa Overpaid? Oh, my word, that’s such a load of nonsense. He’s lucky you didn’t thump him upside the head.

@AmbiePam When I started teaching in 2001 my salary was $34000. It took 24 years for me to now be making a lot more. He might be able to make a case about being overpaid *today* but certainly not for most of my career.

We have visitors staying so we're trying to decide what to do with them - in a good way of course.
