My mom hates Bob Costas so much she would not only mute the TV during the baseball games he called, she once wrote a letter to NBC after one Olympics to complain about how awful he was.

Yesterday he was watching TV and I heard him yell out "WHAT?!" And immediately I'm thinking he fell again or is hearing voices, so I'm on edge. About 30 seconds later (or forever) he goes "MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES ARE AT 7%?" *sigh* yeah dude. Yeah.

And like his Ambien hasn't worn off so he will come out 3 hours later and tell me the same things. I'm like SIR I cannot turn you off like I do the internet, I need you to stop with your negativity and anxiety for 5 minutes.

The boomer that lives in my house wants to come out of his room every morning and do a "did you see" about all the terrible shit in the world and I'm like please, PLEASE, not right now. Wants to tell me that someone was on "a iPod" (podcast) saying some crazy shit and "Can you believe..."

I like turtles (tortoises too). More giant tortoises than people in the Seychelles www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On a business trip in North Carolina. Of the 5 restaurants we have eaten at, how many would you guess have at least one type of chair that is horrible for a fat person to sit in? If your guess is less than 5 you are wrong.

So I'm starting a weekly randomized manicure process. The first one came out really good!!!
Sarah shows her nails on her left hand. The pinky has a light periwinkle blue with a pink-gold shimmer. Ring finger has a dark blue-gray base with a pink-gold holographic shimmer on top. The middle finger has just the pink gold holo shimmer by itself. The pointer/index finger has a very glittery turquoisey-periwinkle with gold shimmer. The thumb has the light periwinkle blue as the base with a Glitter gradient on the top using the turquoisey-periwinkle glitter.

I was just talking to my coworker about getting vaccinated before we go on our team building trip, then immediately after I got a cold. Hope you both get lots of rest and heal up good and quick!

I played so much crazy taxi before moving to the bay area, when I actually drove on Van Ness for the first time I said, out loud, "oh, I'm not gonna get more coins IRL for catching air so I better try to drive normal."

A coworker sent out a survey for our team to complete prior to an upcoming team meeting. I just listened to @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on the Personality Colors test and so I am primed to be mad about it.

Yesterday I got a political survey with some questions about data centers. This statement was provided regarding benefits in other areas. Can anyone verify the truth of this?
States that have had many more data centers longer than Texas are benefiting greatly from them. One area had their property tax cut 40% because data centers covered the difference. Another rural area quadrupled local tax revenue for schools and hospitals,  attracted new employers,  and received millions in grants for local schools and nonprofits. A third area saw their power rates decrease because the data center invested in grid upgrades.  Knowing this,  do you support our oppose data centers in Texas?

At my last overseas work trip in 2019, my team found out I like to sing and bullied me into singing karaoke at a German bar. So I sang 9 to 5. My boss took a video and showed it to her boss, and he said "I think that's the happiest I've ever seen Sarah."

To be clear I believe the women, what he did is awful and a disgrace to the medical profession. It's just so confusing that that happy mormon tenor i knew became such an awful predator.

I am pretty sure that a guy I was friends with in high school (fellow choir and theatre dork) is the Ft Hood doctor accused by 80+ women of sexual assault while under his care. It's really upsetting.

I'm so incredibly sorry, this is awful. I hope you can find some quality time to spend with her and love on her to maybe ease her (and your) stress a little bit.

Record hot Fourth! With a high so far of at least 100, today ties for DC’s hottest July 4th in over 150 years of record keeping, matching the high of 100 degrees in 1919. Could break the record in next couple hours.

Yes sure you're on blood thinners and fell and hit your head, so i am the bad guy because I called the ambulance rather than just let you maneuver your broken body into your chair.
