Life Hack: To get past those AI call center guardians that insist you give them "just a few words to describe why you are calling" ... simply cough loudly into the phone. Next thing you will hears is "I will transfer your call".

#LifeHack

Doctor (after poking five long needles into five vertebrae & filling them up with "cement"): Just take Tylenol & you should be good to go.
Me (screaming in post-procedure pain): You're kidding. Can't you refill my pain meds?
Doc: No need! Just heat/ice, Tylenol. (Implied, you broke the "never ask for pain meds" rule. You're probably gonna sell 'em on the street.)
Me (the next day screaming in pain): Fuckfuckfuck! Aaaaaaaargh!!! I'm 72 & in too much pain to even get to the street!

@ai6yr

Apparently this is a hoax.

@randahl

On a related note: Did anyone receive their golden athletic shoes? I haven't heard Word One about that scam for a long time.

@lydialurch @inthehands @ShiitakeToast @lisamelton

For me, it's when people use "it's" to show possession. Drives me up the flippin' wall. Or, even worse, its'... argggghhh! The word "it" NEVER takes an apostrophe unless one means "it is" (or in some cases for "it has", as in "it's been done before").

Decidedly different from your usual photos, color- and subject-wise, but I love the gradients of color in this shot.

I know that we do a lot of synchronized eye-rolling and laughing. Every time I see her, I hand her a piece of paper with new information about how to move to Canada cuz they need doctors. I'd miss her like crazy, but she has young daughters ... I wish she'd take them away from the crap here.

@KayJanes

Too late for me & my spouse, but I do wish as many young people as possible get out. We ain't seen nothin' yet.

This is a total creep-out.The guy's last name is Dingus, btw. Are we surprised he's a republican. Why, no, no we're not.

I've long been a fan of Karoli Kuns, and I positively loathe Nick Fuentes. I'm hoping that some day before I die, the Fuentes types will just slither back under their rocks and leave us be.

Just imagine how much more shit these murderers would be getting away with if it weren't for people with camera phones.

So, they're introducing a bill to explore Trump Derangement Syndrome??? I'll give them the goods for free: the only people with said syndrome are the ones who think he can do no wrong ... and trump himself.
