That’s our Otto. I’ve stopped sanding and repainting because Izzy taught him that trick. If they learn to pick locks, I’m super screwed

I read a book about Ruby Ridge and the author made the case for a MLM to radicalization pipeline that was pretty interesting.

This site is probably overrepresented with people like us who had similar experiences in school. I suppressed the weirdness and conformed beyond all expectations but it made for a miserable time in junior high/high school. I envy the people with the confidence to be themselves.

Getting fired by this White House for being too unethical. It’s like being suspended by the ‘86 Mets for doing too much blow.

Fitting that the first 'reporter' the new White House mouthpiece chose was from Breitbart. Drunk uncles who aren't invited to Thanksgiving dinner must be rejoicing that their favorite 'news' page is being honored.

I think our daughter was around 17 the last time I rode one similar to this ride and literally had to tense and brace the entire way to keep from bouncing too much. That was the day I said no more and I've never regretted missing out on the 'fun'.

There are photos floating around and I wouldn't advise looking at them if you can possibly help it. That kind of morbid indignity is best left to the investigators and lawyers.

One of the only things I do not miss about the childhood years was being forced to accompany my children on rollercoasters. Getting stuck because they weren't maintained was bad but bouncing around because I probably shouldn't have been allowed to ride (height/weight) was the worst.

The dog park hillbillies are back and they’re not pleased that I don’t want to buy oxycodone from them. My plan to always come early to avoid weirdness isn’t working out very well

He reportedly turned to Natalie and said, "Oh my God, Natalie! Look at his butt. It's so round, it's so out there..." but the media covering/covering for him will never show you that.

For what it is worth, I was diagnosed late as well. My MRIs are always a mess because of years of neglect but 'damage' is a relative and wholly different in nature from a TBI. Most lesions are found in the periventricular region-hence the motor deficits & nerve abnormalities.

I saw someone having a go at democrat running for senate in South Carolina for something similar and it was a true head scratcher. Winning the radical olympic games will not fly here and it would be stupid to posture, preen, and lose the best chance race of the past 25 years.

I'm aware. I have MS. If she has brain damage that has left her unable to control her emotions to that degree, it is unlikely to be the fault of her condition.

Thank you! I'm seeing so many people who are immediately pivoting to MS and that would not be the case without significant (and rare) frontal lobe lesions. The last thing people with MS need is to be viewed as ticking time bombs, filled with rage and ready to bite.

So true. When I think about undergoing a spinal fusion and open heart surgery within four months of each other, my decision to turn our empty nest into a kennel seems even more insane. Four is a barely workable number. I'm glad we found this dog's owner.

I've reached my capacity limit. I'll still feed, water, and contact rescues when I find them abandoned at the dog park but when anyone critiques me I tell them that there's only so many pups you can fit into a Kia Soul or a queen sized bed. The heartworm bill alone is a budget buster.

I get that I am a bit too soft when it comes to the county’s lost and abandoned dogs, but having them follow me home in the car and jump into my house is a bit much.

She's been replaced by the strange hillbillies in a very expensive battered truck with an a/c unit taped into the rear window. I never can quite understand what they're saying (they rival argle bargle guy) but the yelling & screeching of the hounds really gets the blood pumping at 4am.

Parts of the '94 version haven't aged well but that's because society has moved on from many of the dated stereotypes in the book/movie. Warts and all, it's my favorite and I watch it at least once a year. The 2020 really, really, really disappointed me.

Jeez. The lesson of the day is to never look at the trending topics, lest you find out what a big dumb pudding (one of the most bizarre insults from the book) you are for daring to like something.

I'm seeing so many people mad because Carrie wasn't made to be the clear villain of the series and that makes no sense if you've read the book.

Mike Flanagan's Carrie is a great update and has deleted the 2013 from my memory. If he could have a go at The Stand, I'd be a happy horror book/movie fan.

It's a little comforting to have the 'weird' back to keep us all on our toes. Myrtle Beach wouldn't be Myrtle Beach without a splash of drug intoxication or personality disorder to start the day.

Correct. I'm simply the driver. I was thinking that the dog park has been scarily normal these days and then some psychos living in a giant truck (with an ac unit duct taped in the window) started coming even earlier than I do with two hounds that scream bloody murder at us.

Nope. It's still bent and every morning is an exercise in vigilance because even though I block the exit with a trash can (that weighs almost as much as I do) Penny desperately looks for a way out.
