If you wear your mask below your nose, you might as well just NOT wear the mask at all. Staying home is a great way to not have to wear a mask.

If you needed a reason to stop going to GameStop, here it is.

My grandma was a nurse (and subbed as my school nurse a few times) and her go-to for any kind of “I don’t feel good” was this:

My grandma was a nurse (and subbed as my school nurse a few times) and her go-to for any kind of “I don’t feel good”…

I went to the ER with chest pains, and despite a history of cardiac issues, I was dismissed as a 20-something woman who “looked healthy” and was “probably fine”. I had to demand they even take my blood pressure because they wanted to have me just wait without being checked at all. At least the woman in this article…

Thanks for the reminder that I actually need to sit down and finish this game. I’m not done sleeping my way across Greece.

Wow, I can’t get more than the total 2 free plays it seems!

The article says “you get two free entries per day for submitting your information to a web form. And each time a new weekly challenge appears, you get two free entries for that, too.“

You used to get two free entries a day, but in the summer contest and this current one it’s one free regular entry and one free challenge entry, not two of each.

I’ve had contact saline swabbed too. I don’t mind it because as a “medically necessary” liquid, I can bring more than 3oz of it in my carryon when I fly, so it doesn’t have to take up all the room in my little quart baggie.

On Chrome, there’s an extension called “Smile Always” that automatically redirects all Amazon links/pages to the smile site. So then I never have to remember or think about it, and the World Wildlife Fund gets a few cents from me on the regular.

I also work all year (for a non-tip wage) and no one’s tipping me. I don’t get this at all. Now, if you have someone who you see all year, like a dog walker or a hairdresser, and you appreciate that person and you decide to get them a gift, that’s great. But it’s also not “we must tip the service people every year”…

This! I generally close a damp paper towel in the iron for a few seconds when I’m done to steam off the plates and then use tongs to grab the towel and wipe it down while it’s still hot.

I got calls for years when I first got my current number for a woman who had a baby. The calls were all reminders about follow up appointments and vaccinations, and then eventually debt collectors for the same hospital. I often wondered what her life was like.

It’s not so much the direct copy that’s the problem as is the direct copy without permission or credit. That’s why it’s OK when Disney traces itself - they own the work. 

When I used to teach, I’d end each section with something like “Is there anything I should go over again or anything you’d like to know more about?” Asking a more specific question seemed to get better responses. 

I lived alone for awhile and now I live with my husband and sister in law. And it’s great. 3 incomes makes everything more affordable, and we all get along. She has her own space, my husband and I have ours. And while there’s some compromise (like being quiet in the evening when someone has an early shift) I’d say…

On the other hand, it’s not the suffering Olympics, so yeah. That sucks and I’m sorry.

Last year a round of antibiotics destroyed my gut bacteria, and I suddenly found myself unable to digest dairy and a few other trigger foods, or face the wrath of IBS like symptoms. Fortunately after an intense year and a half of very careful strategic reintroduction and regular probiotics, I regained the ability to…

This. I once backed a really cool phone charger and by the time I received it, I had updated my phone (to one with usb C) and couldn’t use it anymore. But it made a really nice Christmas gift for someone else with an older device, so it wasn’t bad, per se, just strange.
