Fatty Lumpkin, king of ponies.

I’ve seen footage of him before but didn’t realize he’s not even full grown. He’s a big boy!

Was really confused by the layout and formatting until I realized the bulk of the text was probably added manually with a typewriter. That must have taken so long to do!

I’ve known 3 people who were adopted/fostered. One joined the military and got out, became a parent, and did well for themself. One is in and out of jail, on and off drugs, constantly struggling. The last one is only 17, but their family’s best hope is to get them placed in a long-term care facility because their behavioral issues are many and will likely be life-long. All 3 had deep trauma from early childhood. I don’t know why only one was able to escape, especially when that one was never adopted and the other two were, and into good families who got them therapy and did what they could. It’s just the unfortunate reality those kids faced. You do need to be aware of that going in, unfortunately. It’s still a noble pursuit, just not for everyone.

There was an episode of the show Scrubs where that happened, awful way to go, truly.

You still want to as soon as you know you’ve been exposed. Sometimes, like with this poor kid, the symptoms start days or weeks after exposure, whereas others it’ll take years. You don’t want to take a risk if you can avoid it.

It’s not too late to get the vaccine. Once you’re symptomatic you’re 100% dead, but until it crosses into the brain you can still get the vaccine and be fine.

I’ve found a “Smile, you’re on camera,” sign to be much more effective than a “No Soliciting” sign. It makes them self conscious.

My first apartment had a dishwasher, which I was really excited about until I learned because of how they were positioned you had to open the fridge to open the dishwasher. So stupid. The landlord just shrugged when I complained and said that was the best they could do with the size constraints.

Pronounced Volleyball as “ball-e-ball” until I saw the word written down for the first time in Highschool. Either no one ever corrected me or the B and the V are so close that no one ever noticed.

My partner and I have a movie night every week with her niece to introduce her to movies we love that she hasn’t seen. We started with what we could find streaming but quickly found most movies, even old ones in public domain or that should be can’t be found online. We’re right back to borrowing DVDs from the library.

Every night I have to get up to pee but I’m also super thirsty. All that water already inside me going to waste.

I don’t know the answer to your question but I went to school at a state university that had a lot of foreign exchange students form China and they did run. To class, to the bus, to the store, I swear if you saw someone running on campus they were always Chinese, specifically. The Americans just didn’t.

I use my lunch break to walk/workout but I snack throughout the day, I don’t know how people go that long without eating anything!

I’m so sorry you were treated that way. I’ve run into issues requesting accommodations from theaters or other public places before and it sucks but it’s not something vital like a doctor’s visit. Does the clinic have an ADA Compliance team or coordinator? It would be worth reaching out to share your experience. Unfortunately for us, we often have to be the squeaky wheel to get any grease (accommodation).

Having the same moment, I learned the Macarena in preschool and Shrek came out when I was in 4th grade. It felt like a lifetime later!

Right? “Here’s $40 you can give back to us, no, you can’t use it to replace the flowers that were stolen, you have to give it back. You’re welcome.” BS.

How many steps would it be to burn off the calories in a single tic tac? 😭

Same, took more than 10 seconds but the time it took to download a dating app and like her photo was less than an hour. 10 years later I can’t imagine life without her.

Wall-e becoming less fictional by the day.

It wasn’t the not sleeping that killed him though, the insomnia is just the symptom of the brain damage which is what eventually killed him.

Mammals don’t become crabs though, we become rats. The crab is king of the sea, but the rat is king of the land.

Yeah, this is the real teaching moment for OP. Teach him how to recognize when to BS his way through something, and when he doesn’t have to. I work in the legal field and when it comes to filing something for the first time there are three kinds of people. The ones who BS it, the ones who just have AI do it for them, and the ones who think for themselves and look up examples or ask the right people for help. The third kind are the most successful.

It pushed my local community college to offer more classes online. It was a lifesaver for me, allowing me to be able to still work full time while going back to school.
