I think I may be missing something because I grew up with artificial trees, but why the heck would someone do that to a poor tree?!

Nope, you’re absolutely correct.

The full song is in the linked article. It’s to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and goes:

Honestly, the pets thing is the one that was the most telling about him to me. Maybe it’s because I’ve been raised in a household where we’ve always had at least a dog or a cat.

I’m sorry that you went from good health to a chronic pain condition. Chronic illnesses suck not only by making you feel ill, but it tethers you to long-term medications and procedures.

I’m so sorry you were subject not only to everything you went through, but also his mother making those “what if” statements putting the blame on you for what her son did.

So many people don’t realize that they’re only one accident away from being “unhealthy.” People tend to change their mind when they get into a bad car crash or develop cancer.

I have a bunch of chronic medical conditions and can’t work full time. I ended up having to petition for Disability so that I could get on Medicaid.

What is amazing to me is that you can be too poor to get subsidized health care.

There are a lot of people my age (26) and younger who don’t know how to read cursive writing. We’ve spent so much time with computers and typing that the act of writing has fallen by the wayside.

My school started us in basic cursive lettering when we were in kindergarten and then once we hit third grade, everything had to be cursive.

Thank you.

Thank you. It happened in July and I’m getting to the point where I can talk about him without crying. I really do miss snuggling up with him.

The Jurassic Park comparison makes me think of John Mulaney’s “horse loose in a hospital” bit. Here’s a random Twitter video because I can’t find the bit on Youtube.

I wish that the Obamas had set up an Instagram or Twitter for Bo and Sunny. They’re such big doofy dogs that always make me smile when I see them.

Yeah, it’s really hard to get sterilized in your 20's. I would love to get it done with because I never want to have kids (I’d be a terrible parent). But because I haven’t had a child no one is willing to even entertain the idea.

Honestly, this is a lot better than that friggin Elf on the Shelf shit they have now. (I am so glad those things didn’t exist when I was a kid because they are terrifying.)

It would be neat to have a private server for this game. Maybe something like Minecraft Realms?

That just infuriates me. People need water. To take away such a precious resource is sickening.

I got sucked into Mass Effect for the last two weeks, but I’ve been having a decent time with Fallout 76. For me, it’s so okay it’s average at this point.
