Maybe this should go in no stupid questions, but I’m curious to hear the explanation too. Am I just outdated? I thought every good home first aid kit should have a bottle.

This sounds like a fun thought experiment. What are the cyberastrological signs?

“Oh, she’s such a typical Myspace”

“I can’t adult properly when AOL is in retrograde.”

“I’m a Lemmy with Linux in the fourth house”

I don’t require assistance to change a tire. I like to play with power tools. I do the fixit jobs around the house and know how all the systems function. I can hook up my camper to the truck by myself and I prefer to get a back in spot at the campground.

I think I conflated red dress girl with goodbye girl, as Porrada clarified.

Are you doing the Louie CK bit? (Louie? Louis? I can’t ever keep it straight)

Where he talks about how somewhere there 100% exists a test reel of dozens of little girls trying out for the “girl in the red dress goodbye girl” part. Dozens of little girls brought or dragged by their parents to a casting call hoping to get their darling into the business. Dozens of little girls saying that line (“goodbye Jews”) emphatically, petulantly, sweetly, angrily, monotone-ly, loudly, softly…

The Flash’s clumsy cousin…it’s Crash!

Also, I saw an eagle try to catch a snake once, and the snake was a constrictor. The snake wrapped itself around the eagle, grounding it. Neither were letting go, neither were going to survive. It was pretty metal, and it wasn’t beautiful. Definitely grotesque and brutal.

Dead and desiccated bodies around a body of water that has dried up. Fish, antelope, wildebeest, etc.

I could make an argument that Director of Development positions at community charities would fit a Robin Hood role. They aren’t fundraisers, they are tasked with schmoozing and convincing rich folk to hand over large sums “to leave a legacy”. And then the charity turns around and helps whatever group of less fortunate they feel mission-driven to help.

Begging doesn’t really work for the big dollars. You have to use psychology, and that can be twisted to appear as manipulating/robbing the rich.

Oof. I do this to my sweetie. Thank you for the reminder to work on that some more.

Bluevine is a great online bank for new LLCs. It’s free. It’s easy to set up accounts. You can get a debit card. They will send you 200 free checks a year (upon request). I’ve used them for 2 of my LLCs and a nonprofit.

Don’t worry so much about interest rates right now. You’re just trying to get established. Once you have banked enough for operating costs for whatever joint maintenance there is, you can turn your attention to how you invest any surplus.

Ah this sucks. Would your advisor or the registrar know if they would accept credits for these courses from another school… and if there are any summer programs available… so that you wouldn’t have to wait until fall semester?

I imagine she formerly worked at a Lonestar Steakhouse. That or she had some affiliation with Texas. Being that these were restaurant folk, I’m leaning toward the first.

My husband did this to his mom! She was not a hoarder by any means but had a decent collection of flow blue porcelain. Some of it was displayed in such a way that anyone who was not her was terrified to just walk near it for fear of bumping it and causing catastrophe.

Hubby found a Kubrick done in a similar blue/white pattern and he strategically put it amongst her breakables to see how long it would be before she noticed. It took about a year before she said something.

He ended up finding another version of the little blue & white bear and did it again. She’s gone now, and I hadn’t thought of those bears in a while. Thank you for that. It’s a very fond memory.

I do sometimes at yard sales or craft markets, like if I’ve found a big pile of stuff I want, I’ll offer a reasonable round number for all of it. If I’m only interested in 1 thing, I won’t haggle unless it’s priced a little too high.

When I hold my own yard sales, jeebus, nearly everyone wants to do it and it wears me out. But I’m looking to unload my clutter so I wheel & deal.

And then there’s car buying…

The last time I flipped a coin, I got half my face melted off, and now I have this overwhelming desire to stick it to rich people. One annoying dude in particular.

Definitely some kind of stone bulwark at the cave entrance to keep out the bears and prehistoric cheetahs.

There are plenty of use cases that don’t involve it needing to recite accurate facts.

I used it to help write copy for my website, to write proposals, and to help with rephrasing when I can’t think of the most diplomatic way to say a thing.

Would you say that about any president? Genuinely curious. I can think of ones that I like some of their policies and deeds, but the whole of their work? Lincoln maybe.

Heartening bread-water to fuck? 🤔🍺
