A lot. A whole, whole lot.

This is exactly where I am right now— I actually have an appointment for this afternoon to talk it all over with my NP. I went off the pill last year, trying to do the responsible thing, because I was over 35 and a smoker. Things were fine for the first few months, but now, OMG, my hormones have gone back to the…

Darth Vader under the helmet?

It depends on the vape, I swear. I smoked for 23 years, and vapes never satisfied me either until I tried one of the big douchey cloud-bro setups that make you look like a steam engine... I quit smoking completely within a couple of days and haven’t gone back. If all I’d ever tried were the smaller versions with less…

I accidentally left a half-full glass of sweet tea sitting on a shelf for a couple of weeks. It was sitting behind other things, out of sight. I only discovered it when I tried to track down the smell. The tea had grown a THING in it that looked similar to the SCOBY pictured, and the smell coming off it almost knocked…

It’s nice to agree. :)

It’s NOT a progressive state. Chicago has a huge chunk of the state’s population, and that tends to sway the vote to blue. Almost the entire rest of the state, however, is bright red Trump Nation. I’ve lived in Illinois all of my life (for some reason), and the southern part of the state is basically Kentucky or West…

Dude. What Illinois are you from? Cuz it’s definitely not the Illinois where I’ve lived all my life. Here in the southern part of the state, there are some really lovely places... but we all know that the government of the state is a complete joke. Missouri’s governor got arrested and the jokes started immediately…

Yes, this exists. Vape juice generally consists of two main components, vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol. To this clear and flavorless base, people usually add flavorings and nicotine. You don’t HAVE to have either one. You can buy unflavored OR flavored nicotine-less juice if you prefer.

This is a lesson I had to drill into my own head, after buying cheapo clearance shoes all my life and constantly replacing them. At this moment, I’m wearing my $160 Doc Martens, which feel amazing on my feet, protect me from the elements, could kick the crap out of anything, and look awesome. And I won’t have to buy…

My grandparents didn’t have much, but they did exactly what you speak of. When Grandpa died, and some years later Grandma went to the nursing home, my uncle was able to remain living on their property, and it’s still in the family now. Granted, it’s a single-wide trailer on an acre of land out in the sticks, but it…

My family is facing this right now. There was only ever one person in our family with any savings at all. She had planned to be able to leave something to four different households in our family when she passed away. Well, she just had a decline in health, and is now in the nursing home to stay. Every cent of her…

Yeah. It completely sucks. And you’re helpless, because you have no control over whether a freak accident or illness strikes.

I have one from the 70s that I still use regularly. It’s at least as old as I am. :)

I love my children so very much that I gave them the gift of never having to feel a moment’s pain or sadness. Never being born is such a peaceful thing.

Meh. Messiah complex for sure.

I SO voted for her.

This might be the first time I’ve ever seen someone mention ‘Allo ‘Allo online, outside of a dedicated forum. It’s one of my favorite shows of all time, and I’ve been watching a TON of it lately. :)

Demolition Man. That’s all that picture says to me.
