I’m an old who lives in the sticks and actually carries road maps because of spotty local coverage. And I’ve been amazed at some of the places where I have picked up a signal while hiking. Like overlooking Lake Superior from a peak or 3 miles south of the Canadian border in the ass end of North Dakota. I’ve started…

Putting them anywhere but the garbage never even occurred to me.

Yes and yes, but I’ve actually been amazed at some of the places where I’ve picked up a signal while out hiking.

I’m so sick of this shit. You show ads to generate revenue. SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE CLOWNS DOING WITH MY SUBSCRIPTION FEES? Fuck off with your weakass ads (I see you doing it too, Amazon) and either charge me enough to be profitable or admit you suck at business.

Fuck you, boomer scum!

People get super weird about Fonda. I find her a very talented actress and intriguing person but have learned to not talk about that because people get all “VIETNAM RAWWRR RAWWRR RARRRR!” Note that I didn’t even say I admire her as a person, just that I find her interesting. VIETNAM RAWWRR RARRR RAWWWR1!!

I really wanted some of that when my father died. I remember lying in bed thinking about how Victorians put hay in front of the house to muffle the sounds of passing carriages so as to not disturb the bereaved and I WANTED THAT.

I tried to pit an avocado by stabbing the pit with a chef’s knife and twisting it out. Except I was holding the avocado half in my hand and it had a particularly soft pit. The knife went straight through pit and avocado, into the palm of my hand. I had to get three stitches right in my life line, which can’t be good.

I’m laughing so hard there are tears in my eyes. Literally.

(I also had to throw out an entire batch of soup because there was too much blood in it.)

I love hearing about how I need to work for myself. “Stop being a corporate drone! Get out of cubicle hell! It’s SO STIFLING to the creativity!”

I like being home, working a job that happens to be part of a large organization, and I can have a good time without risking my life. The feedback I get is that I’m totally lame for being this way, yet I’m happy and content. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m middle aged and this is my experience: I’ve been homely since grade school and as a result, built an identity and self worth around my non-physical traits. Now I get watch women around me fret about losing their looks and the identities that came with them and I’m good.

My crucial takeaway from this: where did those women get those tops? I want both.

I looked into that and found out that my eyesight is so bad I’d probably still have to wear glasses afterwards. They think they can improve my eyesight, but not enough to no longer need correction, so I don’t really see the point. :(

Soft contacts were relatively new when I was first fitted. The optometrist wanted me to try a pair of hard lenses just to see what I thought about them. What I thought was “Aiiieeeee! Get it out! Getitoutgetitout!!”

I’ve been wearing contacts since the 6th grade and putting them is completely automatic now. I don’t even think about it.

I have to say this is a big fear of mine, thanks to the occasional medical journal article like this one;

My experience with people who follow natural family planning is they’re super evangelical about it. But don’t use that word when telling them to MYOB because that REALLY riles them up.

Thank you for talking up natural family planning without sounding like an ad. My only issue with NFP is how hardcore “THIS IS AWESOME SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOUR BIRTH CONTROL YOU HAVE TO DO THIS OR YOU’RE GONNA FUCK UP YOUR BODY!!!!!!!” its users tend to be.
