Nope. Kids are parrots, so I try not to curse in general.

Also don't want to be hypocritical. Stuff slips from time to time, but I make sure to own up to it so they see that I'm accountable to the same standard I'm holding them to

Sounds exactly like what happened to the lady's husband. Company probably figured they could get someone to do his job cheaper.

Yep, he could have been a top 10% performer and those typically come with top 10% wages, benefits, and long-term liabilities. The company was probably just looking for any reason to let him go so they could "restructure" (i.e., eliminate his position) and replace him with more contractors who they don't have to pay FICA or benefits for. 2 new contractors to replace the 1 full-time employee and none of the additional costs. This has been a noted trend, particularly since the pandemic.

TOPS Guide

That guide is recently out of date. In addition to the awards listed, there is now a new TOPS award: TOPS Excellence

Requires a 3.5 and a 30+ ACT. Covers the average amount of tuition and fees at most schools, with the exception LSU BR whose tuition and fees have maxed out the award at 12K annually.

Fresh market has barrels of fresh roasted beans with a huge variety and some grinders. I usually pick up some Colombian or French roast beans and grind them. At $12 a pound, it’s a bit of a premium, but there is just a quality difference I’ve found with freshly ground beans that I haven’t found with pre-ground.

I had to do this recently for our Kitchenaid. Hat to replace the heating element and high-limit thermostat. Relatively cheap and easy to replace if you watch YouTube.
