It sounds like a fun thing to try even if it doesn’t work out. Just try not to lose a finger in the process :-)

I’ve had not one but two cats who would walk up to new guests and shake. Never could have trained one to do it, these two just had that magical personality. They were gentlemen. I can’t explain it. I’ve been blessed.

Mmmmm.

Ugh, when I hear “that obnoxious post was a fake,” I expect to feel relieved, not further disturbed.

Drunk blogging? Drunk blogging.

Yup, and they stay put better, too.

Oh lord. One of these people suckered my mom into the blue-green algae craze a few years ago. I hate to think how much money she lost on it. These people are like secular televangelists.

I’m a straight female, so nah, I’m good. But I kinda think I’d still be good anyway. She crazy. And mean as fuck.

Can’t find any mention of it, but I wondered if he was impaired. Drive under influence of something — rear-end a vehicle — flip out when driver approaches you — imagine that shooting them is a super-fine response —stand there and survey your handiwork, oblivious to consequences.

Yeah, but that’s still missing the joke. The joke isn’t about his recovering from a stroke, or that a person recovering from a stroke placed a personal ad. That’s great. Good for him for placing an ad. No snark.

That’s great to hear! And are the rubber plunger tip and drip opening dishwasher-safe? I feel like I’d want to put them in there now and then even after hand washing, but maybe that’s overkill.

OK Aeropressers, I’m posing a rookie question. I’m aware that this device is universally acclaimed as awesome, and I want to believe, but:

Them’s fightin’ words in St. Pete. [Note: I would not be caught dead in St. Pete.]

I’d rather believe that than to believe that fewer than seven women procreated with him more than once....

Aw, I’m sad that you didn’t post your awesome response here.
