Greebles. They’re often on the ceiling at our house.
Why would he want to? The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
I had a cat that was maybe 6 or 7 years old when she suddenly started having seizures. After a seizure, she’d be wobbly for a few days, then eventually back to normal… until it happened again. Vet couldn’t figure out what was going on. We decided to try to track when she had the seizures—was it when she ate something out of the ordinary, got exposed to something unusual, on a recurring schedule? That sort of thing. We quickly found out that within a day or two of giving her a dose of Frontline flea treatment (the kind you drip on the back of their neck) she’d have a seizure. We stopped giving her Frontline and she never had another seizure.
We have one. The cat likes it, and we love it. Super-easy to empty.
—Oh, we use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
—That’s as may be, but it’s still a frog!
—What else?
—Well, don’t you even take the bones out?
—If we took the bones out, it wouldn’t be crunchy, would it?
American here, but I agree with a traditionally Polish or German gift. I’ve always thought Polish pottery is lovely.
A kidney donated from a living donor often lasts longer and performs better than a kidney from a deceased donor. Donating a kidney to a stranger can begin a paired donation chain that can result in several people getting kidneys. If you are seriously thinking about donating, I strongly encourage you to do some research with reputable sources, talk to some people who’ve donated themselves, talk it over with your loved ones, and maybe talk to some transplant coordinators at the nearest transplant center. It’s not something to be undertaken lightly, but living donors are saints.
A feed full of cats.
American here, and I’ve never heard anyone seriously answer the phone this way. I did have a co-worker who would answer “Go for Mike” as a joke when he knew the caller. I had the impression it was from silly comedy or sit-com or meme that went around for a while.
I just wanted to add this link to xkcd’s survey results about color names because it’s fun and possibly relevant.
What a cutie! Honey Chubs is like the plus-size version of Mokie:
How fun that they were going to wait for the IPO before leaking the data but decided now was a better opportunity, and that they’ve added rolling back the API pricing change to their ransom demands.
I thought the point was to remove the valuable content, not the cost of resources to Reddit? Valuable content means consumer views, and consumer views attract advertisers, and advertisers generate revenue, which Reddit does care about. If I’d actually generated any content of lasting value over there, I’d delete it and repost it here.
I’ve deleted all my content (by hand—there wasn’t much), and I plan to delete my account on June 30 before Apollo stops working.
Heterosexual men want to look at boobs. If she thinks this is “weird,” I feel she needs something explained to her.
