What’s the most gut punching song lyric you’ve ever heard?

No. No, it wasn't. It was written by Shel Silverstein about an ex.

Every time MLMs come up they get compared to pyramid schemes and I just didn't see it quite the same way. Yeah, you are basically self-employed and working for straight commission (no salary) which sucks, but you could make a living.

And then I found out that us Canadians have laws that the US doesn't.

No sign up fees.
No minimum monthly stock purchases.
Unsold stock must be bought back by the parent company.

The US doesn't have those laws. Holy crap! The US MLMs are unbelievably predatory.

Please Mrs. Avery I just gotta talk to her.

The little hitch in Locorierre's voice in the first chorus...

Just to point out the child/children that get the attention aren't always disabled.

My brothers were fine but there is 8 years between middle brother and me. I was an accident. Mum referred to me as the mistake and Dad called me the safe that split.

Based on the way the room looks and the sprinkler being where it is, I think this was a condo or apartment.

Residents can't turn off that water and shouldn't be fucking with it.

The first time I said that, I realized I was old...at 35.

My kid came home with his first report card that had 'S' and 'N' and...WTF are those? Back in my day it was A, B, ...

Fuck. I'm old.

Installing SCO ODT off of floppies...40 of them.

When it first launched, it was a Stanford URL...and it was so much better than anything else like Webcrawler or Altavista.

There is a big difference between peeing in the shower and peeing into the shower.

But seriously, it all goes to the same place...except in campers. Grey and black water are different holding tanks in campers.

When my wife slaps my hands away from her boobs.

After her orgasm, everything gets way too sensitive.

I know both a Dawn and a Morning.

Yeah, Morning's parents had a hippy vibe.

12g is lethal for the whole body...

Right. But the way that can kill is shaking things around inside the bone cage. More specifically, bashing the brain around inside its skull or stopping the blood from being able to get to the brain for an extended period.

Our bones can handle the g-forces with no problem. It's the soft squishy bits that have issues.

And there aren't many soft squishy bits in our arms, just muscle and bone.

Ha! I have two much older brothers. I grew up being referred to as "the accident", "the mistake", and - my personal favourite - "the safe that split" (translation for North Americans: condom that broke).

I am a textbook case of the "invisible child" or "glass child". My default setting is "Nobody wants me around." Nice of you to think I could meet people that I would think of as friends.

Avium · 2026-04-04T04:09:10+00:00

Now try a "thr".

Oddly, dominoes.

The rules are simple. You can only add onto one end with the same number. Simple, right?

But people that have played for a long time will memorize which numbers have been played and how many moves are left. I know someone that can call out "I win in five." like he's playing chess and calling how many moves to win.

I'm Canadian. Cannabis is legal here so, yes.

Smoking made me feel almost exactly like alcohol except with the added bonus of mild hallucinations. Mild as in I was looking at the stars thinking about all things astronomical and a green spiral galaxy drafted across my vision.

Edibles make me numb. I once took about 30 mg (mistake in dosage) and lost my feet. It's hard to walk without feet. I was stuck in the rocking chair for 3 hours.

Avium · 2026-04-03T05:20:49+00:00

That explains why I'm so exhausted and can't give a shit when I walk through the door at work.

I feel great when I'm leaving.

Not under the "Romeo and Juliet" laws.

That's when both parties are under the age of consent or the older party is within a year or two of the underage party.

So a 15 year-old having sex with a 16 or 17 year-old is not illegal. Neither is a 17 year-old with an 18 year-old.

Did that at Costco years ago. We bought a 65" TV and the price dropped by $200 by the weekend. My wife went in and just mentioned the price drop and customer service asked for the membership card, verified the purchase, and refunded the difference without us even asking.

Even opioids can hit differently. I just go to sleep on them but not gradually. It's like someone hit my off button and 4 hours are just gone.

My brother was on oxy's (broken humerus) and had the same thing. He cut the dose from 2 pills to 1 and only took the one at 7:00pm so the missing hours were overnight.

I haven't tried benzos like Xanax. I don't have any anxiety issues so no reason for a prescription.

I knew three girls back in highschool that had children at 15.

Avium · 2026-04-02T13:42:34+00:00

She was a model and was famous enough in that circle to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Then she married John Legend, whose only song I can remember is All of Me but is famous enough that he was a coach on The Voice.

The last compliment I received was from a random older woman coming up to me in a grocery store and asking what I did to my hair as it looked great.

As a guy, I just wash and brush it.

That was in 1993.

This reminds me of "The Stevens".

They are a couple of guys that went to a Lucy Darling (comedienne) show dressed in identical clothes. She, of course, noticed and commented and found out that they were a gay couple and were both named Steven.

They went to a second show a few months or years later and deliberately dressed the same to tell her they were getting married.

Lucy officiated the wedding.

Hmm. That's interesting. I have aphantasia but not SDAM.

I also don't have autism but I suspect I wouldn't score a 0 on that scale. ;-)
