Your time limit for this one is 9 seconds.
Again, it’s not that difficult.

I also THINK I found it. It’s just not obvious that it is the solution.

This puzzle was made for Chinese New Year 2017, (rooster).
The stripy things are lanterns and the doughnut things are gold coins.
The official answer….

 
Bottom left corner.
Go up to the first lantern’s middle.
Cross over to the lantern’s intersection with the chicken’s eyebrow.
Go at 45° to the chicken with the pompadour and bow-tie, and that’s it.
I’m getting a “Bad Gateway” error when I try to reach PostImages. That’s why I’m doing it this way.

$40,000 in 1914 is worth $1,213,452 today

And if I’ve done the math right…
Based on today’s Indiana minimum wage of 7.25 $/hr. an Indianan in 1914 would be taking home $1.91 dollars per 8 hour work day (that’s ignoring income tax / brought in in 1913 / resurrected from Civil War days 1861 – 1872).

From yesterday.

 

Linda Ronstadt! Where are those heart emojis?

You’ll find them here…(as long as I’ve been clear enough / to zoom up my red comments to easy legibility left click on the image; you may have to use ‘ctrl’ ‘+’ too – to go back, press ‘ctrl’ 0 {zero}) / to put the image back, click the ‘x’ button…

You can go back to yesterday and edit your chosen emoji(s) in by clicking the underlined portion of the
 
Click to Edit – “w” days and “x” hours and “y” minutes and “z” seconds
 
button; but choose where you want to put them by clicking on the spot with your cursor before opening the keyboard.

Referring back to Tuesday of this week, the four stars not yet on the United States’ flag were those that would represent:
 
New Mexico Saturday, January 6, 1912
Arizona Wednesday, February 14, 1912
Alaska Saturday, January 3, 1959
Hawaii Friday, August 21, 1959

I have an appointment at the Portland VA with a urologist at 10:30 (tomorrow/today). True to her word my boss and the rest of the office arranged a ride for me so i don’t have to worry about having a vertigo attack. Have i ever mentioned how much much i love working for these people?

We are going to discuss if surgery is necessary. Or even possible.
I’m not usually happy person anyway lately but this cloud over my head is kinda pressing. Me down.

You need to read more comics until the suspense is over.

Not cancer.
Two things actually. I have a sliding hernia (whatever that is) And a number (bunch) of small cysts that may need to be removed. .

I have found this website to be a useful, reliable source of information for medical questions and concerns. It will sometimes provide you with links to more detailed, but authoritative articles on the subject of your inquiry. Plus it’s written for civilians.

Hey, what goes around, comes around. Apparently, you aren’t TOO much of a PITA, or they would have left you blowing in the breeze. You deserve their caring for you, as you deserve our caring for you as well. Think of this as a learning experience so you can pass on your knowledge to the next people you care for. Grit your teeth, go through this “learning process”, and stay strong, knowing we’re pulling for you.

Isn’t it nice to work for people who have your back?

And to have this community who is also rooting for you?

It was decided that things are not bad enough to do any surgery yet. Watch it for changes and call back if anything starts hurting.
If it starts hurting suddenly and badly (badly and suddenly?) call 911. :(
