In my defense, when I first started calling people younger than me kids, they were actual kids.

I’m just so glad to be in NJ…which is something I never thought I’d say unironically, but here we are.

Me too. After all, there are now only 24 (or maybe 48) hours left to get them. 😁

Was this it? It’s on their site-

Cologuard found 92% of all colon cancers (and 94% of all stage I & II cancers) in a clinical study of 10,000 participants, ages 50-84 years old, who are of average risk for colorectal cancer.

Sources follow. 1/2

Update for future reference: it doesn’t matter. Either is fine. 😊

2026, JL.  PretzlTube, drawn for Project For Awesome 2026.  The drawing consists of a tv set with a pretzel onscreen.  β€˜PretzlTube’ is written below the image.  There are also fake quotes from Jarrod, Hank, and Ol’ Trashwater.

What used to be the roller rink by me burned down not that long ago, and it still hurts to drive by it.

For a moment I was like, β€˜Has Barry Manilow hired a new PR team…?’

I’m so disappointed.

I don’t do noble gases. They’re so full of themselves.

What is it, if you don’t mind? What does it do? (Don’t feel like you have to answer. I know life is busy.). 😊

Too late, sadly. I think you’ve already learned the lesson, and you’re upset by its vast amount of suckage.

Which is appropriate, β€˜cause it sucks.

There are no lame dinosaurs. Lame and dinosaurs are an oxymoron. 😁
