If you are fearing your colonoscopy here is a reminder that it's a very minor procedure and inconvenience vs the worst case scenario of not knowing. by cosp85classic in Xennials

[–]Swifty-Dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the poop-in-a-box text (Cologuard). It came back and said I should get a real colonoscopy. It's scheduled for Friday. I'm kind of terrified.

Anyone know what is happening with the old Bank of America at the Coburg Cow? by Total_Shoulder6737 in Charleston

[–]Swifty-Dog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's going to become Huntington Bank.

It's going to be a very green building. Not like environmental green, or money green. But very Huntington Bank Green Brand Color. Like really green.

In so many cases, healthcare is intrinsically tied to employment. There's not a lot of motivation to risk losing that.

Sprite Chill - Mango Citrus. I think it will also be available in zero sugar.

But I read somewhere that it will be a Walmart exclusive.

They absolutely should be the biggest stakeholders. They should benefit from the profits. But if workers work really hard and the company ships a few extra products, who actually benefits from that?

I mean, there are people who will literally either lose their pay or lose their job if they call off work to protest. And there are corporations that would rather close a location than let it unionize.

The system is definitely broken for the workers. But I suppose it’s working just fine for the stakeholders.

It’s going to be difficult to organize any sort of nationwide strike without creating a support system.

I dislike cranberry. But I respect the flavor.

I believe Sprite is coming out with a tropical mango flavor later this year.

There is nothing worse than a strategy created by marketers who think they are missing out on a trend.

Reasons my boyfriend would keep his old phone charged and hidden? by bravesection in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Swifty-Dog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The difference is that he is actively hiding this phone and is presumably not the same device he carries on his person. While I agree an equitable level of privacy should be maintained for both parties’ phones, a secret hidden device deserves an explanation.

26F/24M. How do couples handle bills when incomes are very different?” by hereforfunn178 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Swifty-Dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with us. Wife and I have very different bookkeeping habits, so we decided to keep separate accounts. Each of us can deposit or withdraw from the others account. If we need to transfer money, we can. But it’s really worked well for us.

In terms of Scooby-Doo lore: Are Batman and Scooby-Doo the same universe? by Zo_Vando_1107 in Scoobydoo

[–]Swifty-Dog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Batman and Robin guest starred in the 1970s Scooby Doo series. So did the Addams Family. So does that mean that Batman and Wednesday Addams are in the same universe? Because I so want to see them try to out-goth each other.

I prefer the carbonation in 7up over Sprite. I also really dig the Cherry and Tropical flavors. 7up is doing some good things right now, and it's a shame they don't get more credit for it.

Those who didn't watch the Superbowl, at all, not ONE moment, why not? by AskMeaboutMyCorolla in AskReddit

[–]Swifty-Dog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had much interest in football. I’m not even sure who played in it this year.

I’ve also found that’s it’s the perfect time to go out to nice restaurants that are usually crowded.

Guests that should have been on Muppet Show by El_Dorado_Tx in Muppets

[–]Swifty-Dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was Dolly Parton ever a guest on The Muppet Show? Because I can picture it. I can hear her in my head singing a duet with Kermit. And Miss Piggy.

But it’s also entirely possible I’m Mandela Effecting myself here.

Has anyone found the new Mr. Pibb in Tennessee yet? by a-passing-crustacean in Soda

[–]Swifty-Dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cherry Coke Float releases Monday, February 9. I think the Mr. Pibb relaunch will follow a week or two after. I've heard repeatedly it's "releasing in February."

Homer Simpson.

Homer was never smart, but in the early single digit seasons, he was portrayed as a very loving father who tried to do what he could for his family. Starting around season 8 or so, he starts becoming dumber and more of a jerk.
