I can too - I just think it is really odd. A server making $2.13 shouldn't have to play sobriety counselor. That's what interventions involving trained professionals (who make far more that $2.13 plus tips) are for.

That's just awful. Who does that (both the not tipping and the putting in a stipulation for one's grown brother)? I hate to be "that" person, but I would have just given him the wine. If he's not committed to quitting drinking, no amount of babysitting is going to keep him away from booze.

The other day I was telling my co-worker about the time I went canoeing outside of Asheville and saw a water moccasin. He says "oh that probably wasn't a water moccasin, it was [insert name of non-venomous snake]. They're very aggressive and will jump in your canoe, but at least they are not venomous!"

Yeah, but does she have Hot Mustard sauce for our chicken nuggets?

I had the cable guy come to my house to do an installation. He came running in from our back yard claiming that there were rattlesnakes. After $400 worth of having animal removal services come in, examine, and lay traps, they caught the "rattlers". One was a black rat snake and the other was a goddamn garter snake.

Ack! just thinking about that makes me need water. I was a lector when I was a teenager and there was nothing worse than trying to get the wonderbread goo off my mouth before I had to speak again.

Yup, I went on a date with a "family friend" when I was 19 and he was 40. The date was awful and he said something so horrible that I ended the night early and wouldn't let him drive me back to campus. Of course my mother screamed at me and left town for a while since I "spoiled a perfectly good evening".

Ironically, I've never had guilt about nudity or sex. That soda bottle I threw in the trash instead of the recycling last week? Yeah, I'm still plagued with guilt over that.

Oh, no, I must have gotten the wrong information! Now I'm sad :( I was really hoping that he went to their convention and they were like "nope" and he had to stand outside the hotel and look through the windows at the convention like a sad orphan.

Oh Hosanna that is amazing! I want that for my next birthday!

What is Jesus Cake? It sounds delicious, but as a Catholic, I'm sure I'd feel guilty afterwards.

Yeah, there was a woman in Detroit who was dead for two years before anyone noticed because of automatic withdrawals and the fact that her retirement benefits were still coming in and filling the account.

Well, the funny thing is my grandpa is a pearl-clutching conservative entrenched in Republican politics. He was a little tipsy one night and he was like "my granddaughter has a gender-bending rabbit! Can you imagine what people would say if they ever found out?"

Yeah, my friends sister left a bouquet of flowers in her car for a week. The smell alone (even after she got the car cleaned) was horrendous. I can't imagine wanting to drive a car that had decomposing flesh in it.

Yeah, and it was on the UES! It was crazy. Luckily all of those neighbors were nice.

Haha I don't know. I guess other animals don't care as much :)

Whenever I see someone mentioning consent and dogs, it just reminds me of the girl arguing on Tumblr that we need to use gender neutral pronouns for cats since they cannot tell us their preferred gender.

Well, he was kicked out of the APA, so there's that...

I've heard (from my detective uncle, so that's my only source) that bodies that remain in air conditioned environments are not too bad. The ones left outdoors or in locked cars, though? He said that is a smell that just sticks to goddamn everything.

1) air conditioning/climate controls delay decomp.
