yeah same. we dodged so much bullshit kids have to deal with now.

"Supernatural" in a word

Only to check if it's the onion or not, if my brain tells me, "that can't be true".

If you're not familiar with it, check out his classic wow hardcore drama. He's absolutely incapable of admitting any fault. And he and his mods just ban anyone immediately if they try to have a discussion.

I have two, one meows all the time every time he sees me, he even does drive bys when he runs through the room I'm in. The other one is pretty quiet but i always know when he's about to poop.

Don't remember the name but it was some motel in Branson, Missouri. I found a snake in a pair of pants that was left on the floor overnight. maintenance removed it with a pair of channel locks lol.

you are not alone! i ended up mixing them in with wet food just to get rid of them. (the churus, not the cats)

i can still see scars from where a plumbers snake designed for a toilet embedded itself in my hand. it was a short snake with a metal sleeve with a slight angle in it for help getting around the toilet trap.

the widened part at the end of the snake got stuck in the sleeve and in an effort to unstick it my friend put tension on the snake while i held the sleeve. well, the snake broke free, and in such a force and fashion that it ripped the sleeve from my hands and in milliseconds had turned and screwed itself into the fleshy part of my palm by my thumb. it was in and out, looking like a loch ness monster photo.

there was still pressure on it and the only reason it stopped was due to the skin being pinched when it got to the snake part that was coiled tightly. we were probably around 12 years old, there was no pain at first because it happened instantaneously, just the pulling on the skin. i yelled out to my parents. "emergency room!" and we walked into the living room. my dad was on the phone and immediately said he had to go and hung up. he then told my friend to start untwisting the snake and the poor guy nearly passed out, weak at the knees, and told my mom he thought she had better do it. he handed it off then booked it outside and ran home.

this is when i experienced the first pain. my mom in her panicked state started to turn the snake clockwise adding more tension and trying to pierce another hole in my palm. i screamed, my dad screamed, as he was on the floor with me stabilizing my hand and the end of the snake. we both screamed out "wrong way!" and my mom just kept saying sorry over and over. she began unscrewing but the skin pinched in the snake was now preventing it from being extracted. eventually there was enough force applied to break free from my skin and I can still remember the feeling of the tip going in and out of my flesh. it didn't hurt, it was just an odd sensation.

i didn't know or expect it at the time but the real pain hadn't begun yet. we drove to the emergency room (called it) and the doctor there had some concerns, primarily that this oily metal that had been in contact with a toilet clog had been inside my body, not once but eleven times. he didn't want to risk more damage by incising each puncture to debride them, so instead my hand was soaked in a bowl of iodine for a while. then they came back and scrubbed my palm with a toothbrush for what seemed like forever. they repeated this process every 15 minutes for three hours. my palm was nearly scrubbed raw and there was still a little black dot on each wound. i had to grip the bedrail with my other hand while i clenched my teeth in agony every time the nurse came back. it was the most pain i had experienced in my life to that point.

eventually my dad convinced them it was under the skin and they weren't going to make any more progress and it was time for me to go home. i think i was given some antibiotics and sent on my way. it took about three months for the last black spot to work its way to the surface and now i just have faint white spots and a white line scar where it scratched at the end. that's been 30 years ago.

I use Roman gods. Juno, Jupiter, Pluto, etc. I have a beelink minipc that I named Mellona, the Roman goddess of honey 😆

You should see how up in arms the GOP is here in Missouri because there's a felon working in the public defender's office. He should run for president instead!

I went through a couple when I first arrived, eventually landed on Connect and haven't had any reason to switch since. solid app for my browsing

for me in the late 90s, pre Columbine so no shooter drills, the state police bright in a presentation with a bunch of dui wrecks and deaths. then they followed it up with a wrecked car outside with helicopter ems arriving. obviously it made an impression since i still remember it. i still remember the smell of blood from driving past the fatal accident that actually killed a classmate too though.

Witnessing is a generic Christian term that is based on Acts 1:8, it basically means sharing your experience and belief with others.

In the 80s when i was a child there were billboards with PSAs saying don't drink and drive. I'd promptly scold my parents if i caught them taking a sip from their soft drink after hitting the McDonald's drive through.

The airlines should immediately halt service to the entire state if this goes in to effect. Why waste the time and money defending yourself against these conspiracies.
