They make actual cat beds for desks!

My boyfriend had to install 2, our cats absolutely love them. One by the window, the other in proper petting position. They swap throughout the day lol.

Brain dead? Dead inside? Soulless? Checks out.

Congrats! I fucking gagged.

I wonder if he applies his foundation with his hamberder bun, then eats it?

It can be both. Spray tan can wash off unevenly if you bathe, so make up evens out the finish.

Not that I’m assuming he showers that much, but I imagine he at least wipes the grease away from his mouth on occasion.

Cancer is a good one for weight loss too.

Never comment on someone’s weight unless you 1) know them personally and they’ve shared their goals with you, and 2) see them achieving those goals and you know they’d appreciate the support. Otherwise it’s fine just to mind your own business and not say a damn thing, because maybe you just don’t know.

Having volunteered at a church’s food distribution for over 25 years, I can say that some food banks are pretty special with how they do things. We purchase food from a large food bank for distribution once a month. If the food bank has a lot of produce or something they haven’t been able to move, sometimes they’ll throw a pallet or two extra on the trailer when we pick it up, so that they can get rid of it. When we get the trailer, sometimes it’s just a surprise what we end up with.

In general, we have some people that come that have extended families or neighbors that they give some of the surplus to. Then there’s the church that were hosted at. There’s some things that they’re able to keep for the next day to offer to the parishioners. Beyond that, there’s the occasional phone call to other churches to see if anybody could use it. In the end, the pastor knows a pig farmer where if we have a surplus of a surplus, some stuff will go to.

You can freeze them if you plan on cooking with them. I ended up with an obscene amount of tomatoes one year that were amazingly tasty and I was so sad that I couldn’t process them before they went bad. My aunt told me to freeze them - it was perfect! They also make for great weapons when frozen, and when you thaw them the skins come right off!

What if you’re the jetpack but your partner is gassy? Damn lactose intolerance.

Yikes! The use of the term “packet” was initially confusing to me. Here in the States it’s not uncommon to see small packets of a single dose of over the counter medicines in gas stations and convenience stores for when you’re not at home and something comes up. The directions for extra strength Tylenol are 2 every 6hrs (1000mg dose) not exceeding 3 doses per day.

I was thinking “4 packets over 3 days, what’s the big deal?”

Was your mom always goofing things up and was her friend’s name Ethel?

Seriously, I was raised with so much propaganda.

Up until my late twenties I had believed basically everything I was taught in school. I never had reason to question it, as I was basically living in a bubble. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that when the colonists arrived to this country, it wasn’t just big empty open spaces that the native Americans gladly shared with us. Funny enough, that’s roughly when I gained access to the internet.

Please don’t include X with the boomers. Since we stepped into the real world and realized it functions completely differently than what we were raised to believe, life’s just been a neverending string of “wait, that was wrong too?” We just want to survive another day under the radar.

Sorry fellow X’rs for publicly acknowledging our existence. Hopefully this post doesn’t get any upvotes. *Pulls blanket back over my head.

The hospital I work at had installed some kind of wipe catcher in most of the publicly accessable toilets. All you can see is a metal ring at the opening at the bottom of the toilet with a sign warning not to put your hand in there or you WILL get shredded. Apparently it has sharp bits that will snag wipes if you attempt to flush them.

I didn’t wait for them to accuse me of stealing. My final straw was when they removed 80% of the check outs in favor of self check outs.

It’s so stupid that they waste it like that. I can only assume that somebody didn’t want to be bothered with donating it to a food bank. Seriously though, the amount of time it would take to uncap and pour all that out as opposed to making a couple phone calls. SMH

If anything it’s more of a quality control thing.

It’s the difference between “I bought frozen peas that expire in 6 months and they’re all freezer burned - I want a refund!” And “the frozen peas I forgot about that expired 2 years ago are freezer burned - I want a refund!” One of them is more likely to get their money back than the other.

Also the quality of certain canned foods deteriorates after a time. Some things get mushy or the color changes weirdly that make it unappetizing, so dates can be a good reference. That said, I’ve been utilizing food banks for the last 25+ years. Expiration dates don’t scare me, but they do inform.

Interesting. All it shows me are cats, hair cut/dying, coffee, animals being silly, and comedic videos.

Right up until the point that someone complains that grams are metric and not American, calling for a boycott. It makes my head hurt.

I work in hospice, everyone’s journey is different. As you hear things (some people share stories intending to be well meaning) try to let it slide off. Focus on your families and your needs, and know that there are resources available for assistance and support (social workers, spiritual needs, etc.)

Here in the Midwest we even have some combined Long John Silver and Taco Bell restaurants. You can go through the drive-thru and order off of both menus. They’ve been slowly disappearing but for a while they were all over the place.
