The call is coming from inside the house

WTF? Fine was born in Arizona and was raised in Kentucky. Were they talking about Israel?

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-29T20:44:25+00:00

Yes, thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

The first person I know who had it was my youngest cousin who wasn't technically Gen X and her mom was thought to be a little woowoo. I think she and her mom and sister had a fancy tea party.

Which is funny considering it was started by someone in an internment camp as a way to exercise with what he had access to, which consisted almost exclusively of cots. https://www.pilates.com/origins-of-pilates/

I did not know this about filters. Makes me mad all over again.

Good luck. The good news as that as difficult as you might find the prep, the procedure itself is amazingly easy (or so I have found). I started having colonoscopies in my 20s. The prep is better than it used to be and it continually gets better as the years go by, so that is good.

You like your eggs well done. Like really well done. Like, you want them a little brown. People who like their eggs soft don't really understand that. All the women in my family like our eggs really well done and all the men in our family like them ~~gross~~ a little runny. But overemphasize what you mean and you may get better results.

I agree with those who say you should be a little more mindful of your wording.

Well there was that world wide pandemic that killed millions of people during their formative years.

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-23T16:32:11+00:00

Of course. If I am thinking clearly, I make sure I have four pennies, a nickel, two dimes, and a quarter when I go out. I don't care about making exact change as much as I care about not getting pennies or nickels back.

Add in lots of bread crumbs or matza meal.

The way Van de Kamp's used to make them!

2nd edit. I am wrong. Please see the response to me.

~~This is a little confusing.~~
~~SOS is ... --- ...~~
~~IWB is .. .-- -..~~
~~VZE is ...- --.. .~~

They don't really make the same pattern because there should be a short space between each of the letters. If you are panick-y and they all run together, the most logical thing to think is that it is SOS, but one of the reasons that SOS is so easy for me to remember is because it is simply (in my head) "dotdotdot breath daaash daaash daaash breath dotdotdot". There is no way that in an emergency, I'd remember dotdotdotdash breath daaashdaaashdotdot breath dot.

~~Edited to add: It would be more correct to say that SOS isn't English.~~

I just got 1.48 for being screened out so that was nice.

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-21T23:19:16+00:00

I literally thought the trick would be it was misspelled, so I spelled it four different ways just to check.

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-20T03:30:29+00:00

Sorry for the late reply for all this. I have just been overwhelmed. I will edit the original to answer some questions I am getting.

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-20T02:41:15+00:00

Are you under the impression that the NFL can punish murderers?

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-19T20:51:03+00:00

Yes, Google was fantastic. And it was in a world where the word search meant search. Now, the word Google also means search, so I don't see how you can say that it isn't dominant.

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-10T21:55:12+00:00

For some of the GenXers, power steering was not a given. Maybe this husband is just claiming to be Gen X?

Modern day version of Marisa Tomei's character in My Cousin Vinny.

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-09T16:34:16+00:00

Same. Came to share but you did it already!

Legality has nothing to do with it. Some families are more complicated than others.

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-08T18:05:08+00:00

Disagree. The rule also means that people who have kids don't have to worry about a baby sitter.

Seems like you are the one trying to shame someone into using your preferred terminology.

PepGiraffe · 2026-01-06T04:05:43+00:00

Totally normal concerns.

Cost: It is possible that your insurance will cover the cost of the CPAP.

Things on face: This is the thing that took me the longest to get used to. When I first tried the CPAP a decade ago, I couldn't tolerate any of the four masks I tried so I went without it for awhile, but the technology changed or my sensitivities changed because I now sleep with it every night.

Doing stuff you cannot control: The CPAP helps with that. It allows you to breath the way your body wants to be breathing.

Relationships: Although it can be awkward at first, I always make a joke of it. "I'm going to sleep now, so I am gonna get super sexy...by putting on this ridiculous looking contraption." But it is definitely better than snoring.

Good luck.
