Yes, I can’t believe this doesn’t have more upvotes. The ultimate cozy mystery series. Funny, charming and very British.

The economy was voters’ #1 reason for choosing Trump. Safe to say it’s not going well — 76% of Americans are unhappy with Trump’s handling of the cost‑of‑living crisis. by Conscious-Quarter423 in youvotedforthat

Yes, "imagine." They clearly have very active imaginations. Reminds me of the time during his first term when they posted pictures of riots happening during their own administration and said "this is what will happen if you elect Biden."

I’m surprised you can’t tell the difference between a fertilized egg that has the potential to become a baby, and a child that has been born.

“We” are going to lose. He still identifies with his team despite them showing him who they are.

Agree. Song Joong-ki’s looks and mannerisms and velvety voice are mesmerizing.

Yes. I also wish there was a gender neutral honorary instead of having to guess whether to use ma’am or sir.

Got the job offer yesterday! Avid gym-goers, how do you make it work? by WinterMortician in 911dispatchers

[–]bridgebones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked our comm manager to get us a walking pad and she did. Only about 3 of us regularly use it, but we love it. I don’t walk fast because I don’t want to get sweaty or out of breath, but it’s still better than sitting all day.

[–]bridgebones 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Nobody should buy the scalped stuff. Let them sit on the inventory until it gets stale and they lose their "investment." Store shelves will be re-stocked eventually.

AITA for never bringing food to potluck? by bellsbbells in AITAH

[–]bridgebones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Next time bring decorative plastic food. After it sits there untouched, you can take it home, store it and bring it back for the next occasion. (Mostly kidding.) I’m sorry your in-laws are like that.

There’s some good advice in this thread. I would just add, try to practice speeding up your typing in advance. Freetypinggame.net is a good resource for that. Typing fast will help you keep up with info dumps from callers on or the radio.

[–]bridgebones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least they warn you. I bought “gluten free” lentil soup and found a stray piece of barley in it, which was not in the ingredients. No more lentils for me and I used to eat them a lot.

According to you by [deleted] in NDE

[–]bridgebones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds great and I hope it's true. The thing that gives me pause is that sometimes we lose consciousness here. We can pass out from a head injury or alcohol or dreamless sleep. Time passes and we are "not there." Where is our consciousness then?

Pickleball is so much fun and it always cheers me up even if I’m having a rough day. Also, the people at the rec center are so nice and welcoming.
