I am glad to know I'm not alone in this line of thinking!

Our son told us he doesn't recite the pledge of allegiance in class (started last year in first grade). Asked why and he said it's because of how we talk about the country not taking care of its people. Never prompted, but he has his convictions already.

This has been a fun ride for us, husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer end of last year. Met the max oop for our plan very quickly and have everything on the minimum payment plan. Things reset in July and we returned from vacation (needed our son to have some normalcy) to a $1300 bill for his first chemo treatment in the new cycle. We asked if the oncology office will work with us so we'll see what comes of that. It's exhausting and I don't know how people without insurance survive (although the current system is an absolute joke).

As of now, the only product I have to buy to support this atrocious company is Fancy Feast because it's the only food my picky senior cat will eat.

After seeing this, I attempted to check CVS for availability for myself and son since he just started back to school and hubby is immunocompromised from chemo, but they had a message stating they anticipate an updated one soon and currently didn't have it available. Good luck to everyone looking to protect themselves and others.

This was my coworker at my old job. I'd go to open the microwave to reheat my lunch and find her coffee cup there from earlier. It became a running joke whenever she couldn't find something to check the microwave.

Attend a LEGO convention every year and they always post a reminder as it gets closer to bathe and wear deodorant.

Every time we watch this, my husband and I agree that doing the holidays with our families feels exactly like this.

My area appears to have been hit with a paper towel shortage first. Attempted to get some at Costco today because we legit needed it, but they had none. Went to Lidl and they were running low, but was able to procure some.

This is my boomer dad whenever he complains about it being extremely hot in the summer, cold in the winter, too much rain, etc. Always responds well it won't last too long and that's just nature, nothing we can do about it because it has a mind of its own.

Have it included with Walmart+ and so far everything I've watched has had one 30 second ad at the beginning and I can return anytime without having to watch anymore.

This would absolutely be my husband if he opened a container like that. Scooped a hole in the middle of the brownies I made a few weeks ago.

This is one I was already boycotting, but not because of their practices, it's because their coffee is terrible. I'd rather get some from the gas station.

Thanks for the responses. Even before his situation, the insurance industry was always a point of contention with us and I never hesitate to get on my soapbox to argue my disdain for everything. The lack of empathy from this country is sickening and unfortunately as my husband says we're now stuck.

My 70 year old dad is also in denial. Keeps saying it's summer and always hot, but complaining about it lasting for 3-4 weeks this far and we're only mid-July. Then said a week long below average streak would would help because that's how you get average temps.

I guess I never thought about it, but my job technically does this once/month as we have an off-site day and it usually involves doing things that normally aren't open to the public.

I heat up a smaller amount of water for my kid, mix it, and then add the last bit of liquid as milk, best of both worlds.

Since I stopped taking BC (husband is on chemo so he said what's the point) and am in my early 40s, I can truly say I don't know because they're often sporadic and frankly tracking it is the least of my concerns.

Want me to show you a little trick to take a your mind off that pain?

We got one at my elementary school and everyone wanted a class in it because it had AC whereas the main school didn't.
