You never know how long a cat will live. My grandmother’s cat lived to 28!
Thank you 8 inch for putting our losses in perspective!
Well, the happy, happy, happy part was sarcastic!
Fox, Newsweek, Snopes, and USA confirms that the Constitution was removed from White House web pages. What is your source that it has not been removed? I even went to the White House website. There, I could not find the Constitution or any…
Don’t ha know, we are going on an information diet. The Constitution has been taken down from the web on the Whitehouse pages, temporarily, they say. The Trump Bible has cut out the amendments after the first 10. We don’t have to worry abo…
If you have to schedule time off, it might be a godsend. That said, there should be another reminder the day before. I once had an appointment scheduled 9 months out. I forgot to put it on my calendar or got a new phone or something, then…
First of all; I am not a true “cuck” in that I participate in threesomes with my wife and such. I like to see her have fun and I like it when other men get turned on by her. I travel frequently and about a year ago I encouraged her to meet…
I’m in the NOT turning out lights camp. I usually don’t sit for more than 15 minutes, and then I puddle around the house doing this little chore and that little chore for 25 minutes during my downtimes. If I turn off every light as I’m goi…
Haha. It felt strange to be blocked. I don’t know why I was blocked, but I’m in such good company, that I certainly don’t mind it!
We need to fix our healthcare, obviously. It is costing lives and money. The paperwork alone is a nightmare. Insurance companies make lots of money by turning down care. Resubmitting takes time and effort which could be used better. Just l…
We live Kerrygold, but the packaging leaves PFAS, forever chemicals, in the butter.
You never know. My Great Aunt lived to 102 and she certainly didn’t make a record. Could you imagine going from outhouses and horses to airplanes and atomic bombs to the Internet and autonomous vehicles?
I saw a video for a shopping method to eat healthier and save money. I tried it and liked it. It was the fastest I had ever shopped. It takes a little imagination and sauces jazz up the basics, but here goes: Grab 5 vegetables 4 fruits 3 p…
I hate that people have overused gluten intolerance and allergies so much that people don’t always take them seriously and dismiss very real issues. I lady called me a bitch because I refused to give her kids something that they said they…
They sure can scare you, can’t they? I was told that I had a heart attack. Further testing revealed a birth defect. I don’t understand why no one noticed it until my 4th EKG. We looked back at old EKG’s and the blip was always there, but i…
To the person that said, Why would you need a watch to tell time when the time is in your phone? (Not a quote) I can’t find my phone at least once a day. Siri can ring my phone in seconds and the searching is over. Yes, my watch keeps trac…
Before I had my smart watch, I had to keep a landline to find my phone! I am never troubled with spam calls. I had all unknown numbers blocked. People can leave a message if it is important. I can unblock it if needed and out the block rig…
I hope that you feel better soon!
Melvin, I read your stuff all the time. I have clicked on your profile to read it after something you have said or see pics when you have talked about getting in shape and feeling heathy. I have accidentally clicked on your account several…
I see no reason to get in a tither over who looks at your profile. I see little to no reason to be upset over a message.
Good news below. I didn’t see Wayne’s post until after I posted.
I’m not going to bother to complain about the message counter. It is a minor annoyance when I get one short message with 7 pictures attached and it says 8 messages. The main thing is to know that you have mail without hitting new messages…
BF: Our Pit Mix was attacked in the elevator. The other dog was unleashed and away from his owner. HT: Our dog passed the ultimate test and didn’t touch the other dog, despite being lightly bitten on the chest and neck. The smaller dog did…
I’d go with Roxanne, with Rocky for a nickname. But this is why I don’t get involved with my kids baby names. Last time, I asked them not to tell me until the baby was born because I can’t seem to avoid adding my input and they named her a…
You are not the asshole. Her reaction was over the top. I don’t think it is really cool for your boss to keep you on a string like that. Sheesh! Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place! You’ve got an asshole on both sides o…
If this means it is your birthday, Happy birthday Kibbs!
That is easily fact checked as False. Unless you received a live attenuated vaccine, you may donate immediately. Most vaccines are not the live version. If you do have the live version or don’t know what kind of vaccine you had, you simply…
I agree, except that one of the shots knocked me on my ass for days. If my medicine made me miserable, I may not take it. I missed a booster but took the new one. Luckily my reaction was minor. If I was just as sick with the vaccine as I w…
I started over, so my date is not very accurate,
A ten year fora suspension. Really? I thought I had been on here a long time, but I didn’t realize it was that long. Welcome back!!!
Someone, I am not an attorney, but I consulted my in-house counsel who is licensed in Texas and Nevada before I posted. Interestingly, he was involved in a case where a young man crawled through a window thinking it was his girlfriend’s ho…
Quaz, reread your paragraph. Doesn’t it say or? Doesn’t that mean that the person is trespassing if they come on the property without permission or they do not leave when asked to leave even if they have been given permission? If they have…
No more uninformed legal advice please. It is trespassing. An argument could be made if two houses looked strikingly similar at a similar address. Voluntary intoxication or drug use does not absolve or mitigate the circumstances.
I have been a bit confused because 15% used to be considered a standard tip. Now 18%-22% is standard. Since prices have also risen, wages seem to be beating inflation, especially compared to minimum wage which has fallen far below inflatio…
His office has thousands of pieces of memorabilia. That is his. I don’t touch it. Unfortunately, decor is leaking into the rest of the house, along with the things he likes to have handy. He doesn’t like it when I shove things in his room.…
AITA: right now I’m not working while I wait for my licensing to go through in our new state. My husband is working remotely. I am driving him crazy trying to make and keep this the home of my dreams. He likes things out where he can see t…
I’m a one chance person, if that. I have only gotten rid of one dog, and that was one that bared his teeth to me one day. I was not going to chance it. I’ve never had a dog that bit anyone except nibbling on me when he was teething.
Indeed, Pitbulls do not bite more often than other dogs, however, the bite is much more deadly if they do bite. They are actually much less likely to bite than the average dog. They were rated having the 4th best temperament as a breed. Of…
Ally here
I get pissed trying to adapt recipes when the sizes change. Grrr.
She knows all??? I will never listen to anyone who claims to know all or anyone that believes that any other person knows all. Those are scary people!
My child identifies the same way. I was so confused at first. She is transitioning. This is an option that I never would have thought about when I was her age. It doesn’t seem to be terribly unusual in the LGBTQ community.
Interesting. So Covid will be just like the flu and not require a booster but the flu shot is still suggested. Anyone else see a disconnect here?
I’m excited about the ebikes now. My husband walks much faster than I do. He either stops and waits for me every once in a while or I run occasionally, my natural pace is about average while his is very fast. It is the same when we ride bi…
Welcome back Tigg!
How exciting! I hope that it goes well.
HT: I found a sister through 23andMe. BF: Mother wants me to stay away and so do my other sisters out of respect for my mother. I was never planning to bring them together face to face or throw it up in her face with something like a Faceb…
We are so happy that we are moving. They have lost their minds in Texas.
Congrats Fokkers! PS. people are not nearly as assholey as you expect them to be. Most people will be really supportive. It’s just that the ones who are not tend to bluster 10 times as much as everyone else so it seems like the numbers are…
I totally agree with CatchyNickname and CopandKitten on the Chris Rock controversy. We have to do better than violence. MLK, said violence just increased anger while if an injustice was brought to light, the conscience would change men’s h…
I had Covid in Fall of 2020. I quickly cycled through all the flu symptoms, then had a three day headache followed by extreme fatigue for a couple of weeks afterwards. It took a couple more weeks after that to return to full energy. My fir…
People are at risk for blood clots, even healthy athletes. This is true now, it was true before Covid or the vaccine came around. I’ve had blood clots from the age of 36, even when I was quite slim and working out regularly, With Covid and…
I may be off-base with this, but when Covid started, there was an increase in unexplained deaths. I suspect that there are undiagnosed cases with atypical symptoms that cause an increase in death. They may have to do with blood clots, whic…
The wife of a man I work with did not get vaccinated. She is very sick and the baby is now in NICU with Covid. The problem is that the baby lost a lot of weight after birth and hadn’t been able to put any on. She has been in NICU about 10…
The amount of compliance with remote learning was abysmal. It was worst in the high risk categories - those in poverty or with special educational needs. It’s easier to wait until kids come back and keep everyone on the same lesson rather…
DBC, I don’t understand this past where everyone stayed home when they were sick. My parents always told me that they were raising me with “The Protestant Work Ethic” which as far as I could tell meant that you worked and went to school no…
The foreskin cells come from living babies that have had a circumcision. These are cells that would have been disposed of, which, surprise, surprise, is a little different from what you are representing. I can understand if you are against…
I think if someone is bad at it, they generally are not paying attention to clues or direction. If you are chasing her because she is pulling away, perhaps you are too rough or hitting the wrong spot. If she says easy more than twice in a…
It is punitive if it is decided that those people who have not already taken advantage of the opportunity to get a shot had poor decision making skills and were not eligible to get an organ transplant because they are likely to continue to…
To everyone posting about their rights, do you protest going through security screenings at the airport? I see a lot of correlations. We can’t avoid bombs and weapons on a plane unless everyone is screened, although even with screening, so…
Good to know.
I just got in on a study which tests my Covid antibodies. I’m getting tested every two months. My plan is to get a booster if my antibodies wane. I’ve heard The WHO’s pleas to allow people inn3rd World Countries get the first doses before…
I also despair about the Delta variant and starting school. They are saying that there is 1,000 times the viral load as the first strain of Covid 19 and kids are much more susceptible. Soon we will be starting school. My students are too y…
With the new strains and mutations, I am becoming wary of the idea of herd immunity. Although people who have gotten the vaccine are not getting desperately ill from the Delta variant, I understand that they are getting the virus and sprea…
…and those 40% may not be fully vaccination. We do not know the percentage of patients with only one dose vs both doses for the shots that require them.
Biden said that he trusts vaccines and scientists, not Trump. He wouldn’t believe the treatments that Trump touted until they were scientifically proven. That is a little different from what you said, with a big difference in meaning.
Some people are turned on by a new friend. They love the anticipation and getting to know a new person. The time between the first and second dates can be viewed as extended foreplay. For me, the first time with someone is a thrill. It can…
Where I work, we can earn an insurance discount if we limit our risk factors. Last check-up, I lost my $100 per month discount over my 120/80 blood pressure. It must be no more than 119/79. Of course, I had two other risk factors -BMI and…
I understand that washers rust if you do not use them regularly. You may want to check into that or run one load per week so that you don’t end up with a horrible surprise when you do use it.
We planned on going to Vegas to look at two condos that we are thinking about buying. The earliest flight arrives at 4:30 Friday afternoon but the HOA does not allow showings after 5 even the the owners and Real Estate Agent wants to show.…
I am so sorry Kibbs. Hugs.
You might not get symptoms, which is one of the reasons why it spreads. Are you quarantining? It has been long enough from the time of exposure where you should be able to test. Of course, some people can be in contact with a virus and not…
Look at the CDC website under hospitalization and death by race/ethnicity.
I hear all these white people protesting wearing masks. What if the shoe was on the other foot and almost 4 times as many white people were hospitalized and there were 2.4 times as many deaths in the white community and black leaders were…
We are looking at another state to live in. There are natural disasters and there are ma made disasters. There are natural disasters that can be mitigated by people. The two disasters that I mention were caused by people. No an individual,…
This is what Texas does. It has lax regulations and the West Fertilizer plant explodes. It has lax regulations and our Power grid fails on the small scale in 2011. Do we decide to regulate? No. We have a bigger disaster in 2021. People die…
I saw a hot date. The man bragged about the “giant” size of his member. I recognized him. I don’t believe in size shaming. Men have no control over their size, but false advertising? No! It was the first time I wasn’t even sure if he was i…
PS. After a rough reaction to my first vaccine, my second dose didn’t phase me, so the second dose doesn’t always have to make you feel worse, perhaps especially after you have had Covid.
The efficacy rate of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is a little deceptive. While the vaccine may only be 66% effective and 85% effective against severe cases, I read a study that showed no hospitalizations or deaths among those vaccinated…
I’m glad to hear that you weren’t a contributor to the problem. Are there more crazies these days?
I’ll throw in my 2 cents. I believe Scamp. Was her behavior justified? No way. On the other hand, be kind. You could have let her in in front of you rather than getting in a potentially dangerous fight for who gets in front of the other. P…
Type 1 Diabetes is the result of an attack by the immune system and typically happens in childhood. Type 2 Diabetes is generally due to insulin resistance and is associated with obesity. In the past, it was unheard of in children but happe…
My son has been going into the Covid Unit to help procrastinators write wills. I hope that he gets on the list soon. Lawyers aren’t on the list here, though my husband, a public defender and cancer survivor,, was bumped up the list by a lo…
I’ve never had sex with a deaf person. That said, there is a lot of deafness in my family. I’m not very good at signing and my grandmother arthritic, mangled fingers made finger spelling difficult, so we would often have to resort to pen a…
Thinking* durn fat fingers
Thanks Bridgetender. I think that I am back to thinker of much brighter times in the future.
My apologies. I don’t go into the political fora. It was just an incident that happened to me. It shouldn’t be an indictment of all Republicans. I never intended to go into a bar and have a political conversation.
Not that it matters much, but he said that I wanted to cut off his head and said that he should beat me up. I didn’t offer my opinion. The men directly asked me out of the blue. The only thing I said when they asked if I was local was that…
I’m pretty devastated for America right now. My husband wanted me to meet him in a bar. I was enjoying a lively conversation with a gentleman, er man, while waiting for him. Suddenly, he asked me if I was a liberal. I said yes. He jumped u…
Thank you for the information. Hopefully, I will start feeling better today and won’t have to call my provider.
Where we live, 40% of the people aren’t showing up for scheduled vaccine appointments, so my husband urged me to go down and get a shot. My autoimmune system is glitchy but not necessarily out of control. I went Wednesday. I am miserable.…
Off topic warning: I once had an EEG to test for epilepsy. The technician said that there was no signs of epilepsy but I had the most unusual sleep patterns he had ever seen in an adult. He said that he only seen that sleep pattern in an i…
The first week, I was sick. The second, I was exhausted and slept 18 hours a day and rested in between. I felt markedly better after that but I wished that I could have worked every other day during the third week to rebuild my strength.
Love it! Talk about impeaching someone before they are President, just like Trump “knew” there was election fraud before the election even took place.
We don’t get a check. We don’t need it, but I do worry about the financial implications of distributing all this money without raising taxes on the wealthiest individuals. I feel like we tend to get crunched in the middle with the repercus…
Thanks for the facts about nails. I think I had heard that story now that I think about it. I was thinking about the story of one of my ancestors. He was nailed to a tree by native Americans and ripped his ears off to survive.
I believe that they had wooden nails.
I doubt that I would be alive, but it is hard to tell. I had a hernia repair as a two year old. A hernia can be just fine but the intestines can slip into the weak spot, cutting off circulation and necrotizing. I was dehydrated with a 105…
BF: Covid closes another business. HT: My 99 year old great Aunt is retiring after a long, productive career. She now how a lot of time to enjoy gin rummy. We played many a game. She taught me to play at the age of 9. I haven’t played in d…
I think there is some confusion here. He said that people are requesting that they be able to take their profile off-line for a while. That makes sense. You had a way that they could do it. They could express no interest. You disabled that…
