Thankfully the values my mom taught me are the same ones Jesus taught: love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have done to you.
This is what baffles me when my dad argues with me for being left of center.
You sent me where they taught this, did you not want me to learn it?
(Also not religious, but kept some of the philosophy)
Desperately trying to get the taint off his soul before he dies so he doesn’t spend eternity burning in hell.
If I recall from seeing the original article, it actually made a new butthole.
If the UK doesn’t invoke Article 5, NATO has no involvement.
Without further evidence there’s no reason ever to believe
ICE’sany government agency’s account of how it went down.
The vacuum has no capability for an Internet connection and no cameras or audio recorders.
The quality of the vacuum wouldn’t lead me to choose anything else from Eufy. It’s just a good robotic vacuum.
We love Meryl.
I’m going to get a piece of wood, paint it white, and mount it under the fridge so she doesn’t get caught underneath.
Leo finds her a bit frightening.
Just when he thinks he’s safe, she turns around and goes on the attack.
In an excellent example of the lengths a cat will go to in order to fuck up your day, one of my cats jumped up to the top of the post at the top of the stairs and puked down the side of the post from his perch.
It was honestly impressive in a what-kind-of-sociopath-would-do-that way.
Yes, the third was scheduled, second was an emergency (prospect cord).
I’m not sure if the doctor even noticed me for the second. It was the nurses who kept bugging me to sit down.
They brought a stool over, and I said I didn’t need it. They kept bugging me to sit down, but I was better off standing. I’m a bit too big for most furniture, and the stool they brought over was tiny.
To their credit, they stopped bugging me about it before my wife had to tell them to piss off.
Edit: It wasn’t about me watching what they were doing. They were all expecting me to pass out. The only way I would have passed out is if I sat on that stool and then tried to stand up again.
No, he wasn’t quite that awesome.
He was definitely awesome. He did a bit of an anatomy lesson while she was cut open.
In the US, some doctors are afraid of being sued, some aren’t.
When my wife was pregnant with our third child, during one of her obgyn visits, I complained that they wouldn’t let me watch during the emergency c-section for number two. He not only told me I could watch, he said I could bring a camera.
I got a Leatherman Wave years ago and it’s almost always on my hip.
Fantastic thing.
I’ve got another one:
Long before COVID, I would go to a barber shop for haircuts.
The place I went to had one short, old guy who had arthritis. I’m tall, and long in the torso. When he was cutting my hair, he couldn’t lower the chair enough to be able to cut my hair, so I’d have to scoot down in the chair so that I was sitting with my ass at the edge of the seat and my spine bent so my head was low enough.
When you entered the shop, you’d write your name on the board, and if you wanted someone specific to cut your hair, you’d put the barber’s name next to yours. So, I started picking one of the taller, younger guys to cut my hair.
One day I was in a rush, and there was a line, so I figured I’d just take whoever was available and scoot down if I had to. The old guy skipped over me two times. When someone pointed out that I was there before him, the barber got pissy and said, “he doesn’t want me cutting his hair”
One of the other barbers apologized and took me next. I gave that guy a $20 tip.
When I got home I went online and bought a Flowbee. I haven’t been to a barber shop since. It does a great job, there’s no line to wait in, it takes me about 10 minutes, leaves no mess behind, and I haven’t paid for anything but electricity and shop vac bags ever since.
Eufy 11S Max robot vacuum.
We had a Roomba back when they were new. It did ok, but it wasn’t really that impressive. My wife had a rechargeable upright vacuum after that. When that died, I argued for going back to a robot vacuum because her health problems were both making it hard for her to use the vacuum and also leaving me too busy to do it.
She resisted because she was never happy with the job the Roomba did. However from day 1, the Eufy vacuum did a visibly good job cleaning and won her over.
We have it set to run once a day. There’s one chair it occasionally gets stuck under, and we have to block the base of the fridge or it gets stuck there. Aside from that, it’s very independent. It does the vacuuming and then finds its base to recharge for the next day. It needs to be emptied out every day and cleaned more thoroughly once a week.
We’ve been very pleased with it.
We named it Meryl Sweep.
Exactly.
Trickle-down economics doesn’t work, and everyone who isn’t an idiot knows it whether they say it works or not.
Trickle-up economics would work, because if money gets into the hands of the people at the very bottom, they buy the things they need to live.
I had a class in college taught by a Catholic priest.
He loved to have people come to his door to talk religion. He’d invite them in, give them tea, and then talk to them about Catholicism until they asked to leave.
I thought it was confirmed that the reason he wanted to send military was because Fox News said there were riots and showing video from 2020.
So, yeah, Fox News is lying and Trump, like all his supporters, is believing it.
