We have medical marijuana and it’s so easy to get a card that it might as well be recreational. There are dispensaries everywhere (at least, in northeast Oklahoma. I don’t go down south or over west much.) I bet there are more dispensaries than gun stores in most towns. Almost as many dispensaries as churches. 

As someone who does background screenings for companies, I can attest to all of this, especially the second point. I will never forget Juicethedripgod, for instance.

Some people clap when they get excited. It’s not just about showing appreciation. I mean, I’ve totally clapped with a big smile when I got a gift I really liked or finally saw that the Christmas decorations I put up turned out perfect when I turned on the lights. It’s not generally a sustained applause, but clapping…

Kellie Pickler has had a pretty successful country music career.

That really depends on the time of day and what is going on at the time. But, it is true that most 911 centers are understaffed. That said, you can never fully staff for all possibilities and if there happen to be several false calls during a busy time, it’s just that much more of a burden on the calltakers.

Unlike the crash detection thing, butt dialing 911 is not at all new and has been going on since cell phones were small enough to put in a pocket, although it was much more of a problem before smart phones when cell phones had physical buttons.

Almost every recipe I’ve seen for lasagna says that you can use cottage cheese in place of ricotta (generally because it’s cheaper--I never do it.) So, that kinda makes sense.

My mom started when she was 10. This was in 1958. Her mom had no idea she would need to have the talk with her so young. As a consequence, my mom (who was staying with a friend because her mom was in the hospital) thought she was dying.

I know this is a late comment, but I just wanted to tell you how happy I am for you that you finally get to be yourself completely! 

I feel like “automagically” was probably a typo, but I still love it.

Amazingly enough, I actually remember why I wrote that.

Former 911 dispatcher here and all is correct except the part about landlines not calling 911 if there’s no service. They do and I’m pretty sure they are under the same law that requires cell phones to do so.

I want that list (although I don’t expect to ever see it, because I doubt it exists, otherwise you would have already posted it.)

That is one of the most beautiful cats I’ve ever seen. 

The name “Coxsackie” comes from an Algonquin Indian word believed to mean “Place of Owls”, “Migrating Geese”, or “Cut Rocks”.

Another point is that, if they drop one episode a week, then they are more likely to pick up viewers along the way and less likely to cancel. Generating buzz and water cooler talk about a show is a *good* thing for the longevity of the show. If everyone just binges it and moves on, not as many people hear about it…

Hell, I’m one person and I live in one city during the week and then in a town about an hour away from there on the weekends. I do live with family in both places, but even if I restricted my use to just me, it’s going to be an issue if they decide to make the devices connect to the home wifi every 30 days because…

I’ve never seen a person have a seizure, but I’ve seen two cats and a dog do so and that alone proves these as fakes. Same with tremors. I’ve known plenty of older people with tremors and that’s just not how they work.

It infuriates me when people claim he is just as brainwashed as all the lower level people in Scientology and, therefore, a victim. No. He sees what Miscavige does (and, based on known behaviors on sets, seems to be similar in at least the verbal abuse area.) He sees it, does nothing about it, and therefore tacitly…

So many people on here talking as if two people with a 10+ year age gap can’t possibly have anything in common without the man being immature.
