Little spoons go first for me,. But yes, spoons are the ultimate utensil

My mother literally had a gynaecologist just tell her that they're putting her under general anesthesia for a surgery where other clinics won't because "we don't believe in torturing our patients".

Thank you to that clinic. We need so many more of those in the world.

Yep. My grandpa has lost everything after my grandma passed away. So many young women want him! And he could make so much money if he just buys some supplies! And this and that and scam scam scam.

I'd feel bad for him if he hadn't disrespected the memory of my grandmother so damn quickly after being sucked into these scams.

There are a billion local bee keepers. I get some local honey to help. I don't really know if the type of honey makes a difference, but I've been having some wildflower honey in my morning tea and my eyes are at least no longer on fire.

But, yeah, aside from that, a powerful antihistamine too haha

Oh good. Something else to look forward to

I haven't seen bugs mentioned.

If there's a creepy crawly that is better off dead (ie invasive species), then that thing is being grabbed with a wad of tissue and thrown in the toilet.

To save everyone some time

His age is estimated to be 192 as of 2025

It takes a lot to make a stew
A pinch of salt and laughter too
A scoop of kids to add the spice
A dash of love to make it nice
And you've got...

Too many cooks

Lord Almighty, I am not lazy.

While yes, it looks like I'm sitting there on my phone, my functional part is screaming at me. Get up. Go do the thing. Do your work. You wanna get fired? Get up. Get the fuck up.... As I click on another meme or post or video.

My parents were (and still are) toxic people. So when I got married, I was bitching about my spouse because that's what I knew how to do. This went on for a while until my friend stopped me and said, "Hey, do you even like this person?"

It felt like being splashed with ice water, but he was so right. I stopped dissing my friends and my partner behind their backs and tried to stop that toxic 'ball and chain' sort of humor as soon as I possibly could.

Thanks, Marcos. You started a very long and necessary process of self discovery and healing. I'm so glad you said something that day.

Are you a field mouse?

No no, that's an organelle. An orgasm is the best or most advantageous, with the greatest amount possible

When I was younger, I believed that if a woman was raped, it was her fault for what she was wearing. My highschool friends called me the most unempathetic person they'd ever met and I was proud of that.

Thankfully I've turned right around on all that and learned empathy. I'm ashamed for my younger self, but I know they were just doing the best they could with the very few tools they were given.

I have a heart condition that I get an ECG (electro cardiogram) done for every 6 months or so. It's just an ultrasound on your heart. They always take mine from a bunch of different angles and a bunch of different types of pictures.

But I was recently in the hospital and told the technician that their machine was loud. She looked baffled. I told her I can hear the ultrasound and hers is the loudest I've encountered. Apparently I'm the only person she's ever done work on (or however to say that) that's been able to hear it.

So I guess that is my super power. Or I'm just autistic, as apparently many autists can hear very high pitched noises.

But the ultrasound is pretty cool. The frequencies and the pitch will change depending on what photo mode they're in. Like a doppler mode is all pewpewpewpewpew while the normal mode is all eeeeeeeeeeeee. Lol. It's hard to explain.

Ah. Fuck

I was deployed and got a box from my home unit that was basically just trash. I think it was supposed to be funny, but it was just a lot of scrap paper thrown into a box. Nothing written on them that was for me. Nothing to signal anything. Just a big box of trash that could have been nothing more than the recycling bin upended into it.

That was pretty heartbreaking.

I like to do this too. I liken it to a parent saying they're not mad, just disappointed.

But I don't know that I've ever had anyone get ridiculously angry about it.

I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise either, but I love Edge of Tomorrow. That might be my only exception

We says to Meemaw when she awakens from the crypt down yonder that she can't be out there tryna slay some ole dragon. We says, Meemaw, iff'n ya don't starts to watch fer yer health, we'll have ta get one o' them immovable rod thingers and keep ye sat in her chair.
