I've now encountered 4 people who've sent friend requests on Discord. Each of them has started with, 'Hey I sent you a message in game, did you get it?' No, wrong person. 'What you're not in *insert app/game name* No. Then they send a link. Guess this is a new type of scam or odd marketing.

Man...family infighting is the worse. Didn't think my "ex" sister could harm me more than she has but, she said hold my beer. Goodness. So sad.

Today I learned that electric plungers exist. I may or may not have had a friend demonstrate it. I ran to Amazon. Amazing. Thank me later.

After a month and change I finally got the local alley cat to allow me to pet her. Her bonded partner still isn't there but cuddled up about 12' away watching intently. Progress!

Anytime I see a youtube creator with a video title along the lines of, "This is over." "This is the end." I know with utmost certainty it is neither.

My my it's a blistering 63F here today! I do not know how to handle this. It feels wonderful but I also know it's an illusion to make the next cold front 10x worse.

If you play Pokemon's TCGP and you use your Wonder Pick? If you aren't thanking the person who you received it from-are you a barbarian? Give thanks! #Pokemon

When my father passed away he asked me to keep getting a dozen roses for my ma on her birthday (today.) This was his loophole b/c she doesn't do holidays much (religious crap.) This is the 19th year without him and for 19 years she's gotten a dozen roses from Mr. Wonderful; her name for him. ❤️

A truly timeless masterpiece of film. I can remember eagerly awaiting on Sundays for the new episodes. I think it was the last real show like that. Sigh. And good ole Pauly Walnuts, "Interior Decorator!?!"

I was thinking like, do the dishes and spend a spoon get 1.5 back! Pick out outfit for tomorrow? Half spoon but get .75! Trash taken out? 2 Spoons but, if done? 3! LOL Sorry, you get it, got to make light. Laugh or cry, I choose laughter.
