According to the 2020 US Religion Census, the states with the highest percentage of their population that's actively involved in religious congregations: are Utah (76.1 percent), Alabama (63.6 percent), Louisiana (63.3 percent), Oklahoma (61.2 percent), and Mississippi (59.4 percent).

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the states with the lowest rates of involvement in religious congregations are New Hampshire (27.2 percent), Maine (30.8 percent), Oregon (33.2 percent), Montana (34.8 percent), and Alaska (35.2 percent).

The high rates make sense to me. The low rates seem more interesting. I wonder what factors go into that since they're in such different places.

I'm thinking why can a package coming from Sweden arrive in Oklahoma in two days, but a package coming from New Jersey takes a week? Not talking processing, actual tracked travel time...

Baldur's Gate 2 multi-class combos take forever to advance and I should not repeat this variant even if it does provide passable utility.

I'm being worked to death by my boss. Five days in a row this week. However, good news. Next week I get my first sleeve. It's probably going to be a two parter. I'm going to have it on my left arm. It will be of Isis with a border of Egyptian flowers, then on the inside of my arm will be the names of my deceased dogs. I also plan to do the same thing on my right arm but with Osiris. Probably in a couple years though. I'll post some pics soon.

Been a minute since this thread was used huh.

I just got the keys for our new appartment. Moving in with my boyfriend. My current flat has mold, it's been 6 months since I've had clean water in the tap. It's definitely time to get out, it's been causing me so much stress. When I tried to get he landlord to fix the mold and told them I'd have to get the renter's union involved if the water wasn't fixed soon, they threatened eviction claiming It's my fault. The kitchen wall is leaky, there's water running down it. And the kitchen can't be heated. It's obviously not my fault. But yea. Time to go.
I've been here for 10 years though. I love the area. And I'm kinda terrified of moving honestly.

Well work is going great so far. I love working at D.P. Dough. Everyone is so kind to me. I was doing dishes and accidentally cut myself on a knife that I was drying. I had turned it a wrong way. I was so pissed at myself. I had to leave early. However, I am going in at 7 tomorrow and working 10 hours. Anyway, I am going to hit the hay.

That's great news! I'm glad this transition is going well for you. We have a dp dough locally, but I've never been to it.

Thanks. I worked yesterday for the first time. I ordered a cheesy breadsticks and roni rolls. Both were very good. Haven't tried the calzones yet. Can't wait to try them though.

Re: Whatcha Thinking about take X

Well I have some good news. I finally got another job. I'm going to be working another job starting Monday. It's going to be at a place called D.P. Dough. In case you haven't heard of it, it makes calzones, wings, and some other sides. It's open from 4pm to 4am. Since we live in a college town it is a a really good idea. It's been years since I have worked an evening job, but I have never worked one to 4am or 5am in the morning. So I am going to do my best because I need this job. I am finally going to get out and become a roommate with my Morgantown best friend. I plan to move in two weeks once I have a good amount of money. I'm looking forward to this transition in my life.

I officially am working as a server's assistant and made my first tip last night. It was a little over $53 dollars. Despite it being Memorial Day yesterday we had a good amount of people. I also was the closer for the first time. I tell you all that I am going to have powerful biceps soon. LOL! Bussing is definitely one of the hardest things I have done and I come home really tired. I am very happy though to have a job.

Re: Whatcha Thinking about take X

Today was busy for me. I saw a couple of doctors at the pain clinic. I will be getting some shots for my back and seeing a massage therapist on the 14th of June. They are also going to have me see a physical therapist and a dietician. Which will help. It's going to help me a lot. I felt like that I was being listened to and that I wasn't just being pushed off. I now have a plan for my back pain. Today was also my first day training at Longhorn Steakhouse. It was a pretty good day. I had a lot of aches after work. I did a lot more than I did for Cracker Barrel, but I am glad to have a job and there are so many nice people at my new job.

Re: Whatcha Thinking about take X

I agree with you. I find that if I stay in bed that my back hurts a lot. I don't want to rely on pain meds forever. I'm hoping that something good will come out of seeing someone at the pain clinic though.

Re: Whatcha Thinking about take X

Congrats on the new job!

Back problems are awful - for a time I had a regular masseuse that I would see; that helped a bit. Walking helped for a time. Things like stretching and squats can make the difference between a sore back and throwing it out. One specific thing that I learned was that if your back is sore, the BEST thing you can do is keep using it. If you decide to spend a day in bed because your back hurts, it will keep hurting and make things take longer to heal. If you even do light stuff like walking, it's better than staying in bed.

Turns out that a lot of my pain was probably a result of heart disease, so if you engage in 'bad' behavior (like smoking) you'll want to stay on top of that.

Re: Whatcha Thinking about take X

I finally got a new job with Longhorn Steakhouse. I'm going to be a hostess. I was a hostess with Cracker Barrel. It's going to be nice because I like interacting with people. I'm having trouble with my back though. I see someone at the pain clinic next Wednesday and I hope that I can get this resolved. I am already taking muscle spasm medicine and pain medicine, but I don't know if they can give me a shot or what. I'm hoping that it can be resolved. No matter what, I'm very happy to have a new job.
