Touche.

Wonder Showzen, bless it. That kid was the best, although the other Beat Kidz segments seem to be erased from YouTube, dammit. In any case I’ll still have the intro stuck in my head all night.

Yup!

OH HELL YES!!!

I had bladder surgery when I was 7, and have regular UTIs as a result. That combined with sending bills of ever slightly increasing premiums so that they arrived making it impossible to pay on time (like, came in the mail on the date it was due back) was enough for Blue Cross to kick me off an individual insurance…

To be fair, I caught the tail end of AIDS (old enough to remember, young enough to not know anyone with it*)

Y’know, add in “owning my own plot of land so what I’ll be able to enjoy what I plant in the future” (we’ve had to unexpectedly move twice when our rentals were put on the market after we put in fantastic gardens with a hell of a lot of work...) and I’m right there with you.

I’m still broke and when I do go out I budget a decent tip. The only service job I worked forbade tips (folks were encouraged to donate to the local food pantry jar instead which... Sigh, would’ve been fine if we were paid for as much as we hauled ass every day - I was pretty close to utilizing that pantry - and if…

“It was not the cause of the voter apathy and sorely-lacking turnout (or worse, the votes for Stein in Rust Belt states) that swung the election.”

She didn’t win in my state for either primary or general, and as long as I’ve been voting we’ve gone Dem for President.

As soon as I started canvassing. Not under the DNC but for a non profit that couldn’t coordinate. But when, in fucking Michigan, we had people asking to volunteer with us because the Clinton folks didn’t have a M-F canvass coupled with what I was hearing from my “likely Dem” doors... Yeeeeeah. Rare enthusiasm for…

I will never get tired of that.

When I was on a Harmontown kick, I lived for the episodes where he or Mitch Hurowitz showed up. Always awesome.

You’ve GOT to be kidding me.

Omg the beard is SO darkest timeline!

Peel the outer layer and then chop em up similar to a carrot and treat em as such when cooking.

“overallpeople pay for Netflix because it’s cheaper than cable and they don’t want to torrent.”

Actually, communion dresses upcycled from wedding dresses is a pretty refreshing and fantastic idea. Better than two pieces of clothing in the family no one is gonna wear again but never get rid of cause sentimental value or whatever. Pretty sure my Mom’s got both her wedding dress and my first communion dress…
