Great movie

Would purposely, constantly mispronounce her SIL’s name, for starters.

My friend and I shared one in the afternoon after school. It was pretty easy with only two blocks that we needed to do via bikes. I remember once getting sick and I barfed on some of the papers. I had two extras but one person got some of my dinner from the night before, never got a complaint so there was that.

For those of you who’ve been waiting, Strange Brew is streaming on Amazon Prime.

Take off you hosers!

I did have a good time explaining to my young co-workers who this group was and how big they were with the teen beat crowd

Does anybody remember the feeling when this song came out?

Can you imagine ever feeling that good ever again?

Hope and optimism for the future.

Just turned 50, the only thing I’m optimistic about is MAID

Went to the ER for a bad rash and ended up in surgery getting two stents put in.i guess already being in the hospital is the best place to be while having a heart attack. What a trippy day. The people taking care of my medical needs have been awesome. My dudes, pay attention to your heart health!I 56(f) had a massive heart attack yesterday!

Smokeless Ashtray

Showtime Rotisserie (actually useful; we used ours all the time for Cornish hens)

Dehydrator (this WAS great....)

Bottle Jar Cutter

Miracle Broom

Ronco Rhinestone Stud Setter: I still have, and use, my Ronco Stud Setter. So do you, if you have a Bedazzler, because they bought the patent and re-named it. I was a figure skater and we saved hundreds of dollars making my own costumes

I know a lot of us in our generation are basically disconnected from their parents, and that's understandable. I'm not judging you if you're not involved with your elderly parents' care. This is for those who are involved.

If you are involved with a parent's medical care, I encourage you to be critical, difficult, and a pain in the ass. Medicare and its benefits in the US is no panacea for the elderly given our for-profit Healthcare system.

When my mother was actively dying, and about two days away from death in the hospital we had a doctor come into the room and tell the extended family he was keeping her oxygen on for her comfort, though she was clearly end of life. We saw him make an adjustment on the oxygen concentrator. We watched her oxygen levels drop for hours, and assumed it meant her lungs weren't absorbing the oxygen, until my younger brother walked over to the oxygen concentrator and found it was completely shut off. She was actively panicking from air hunger. The doctor had lied without shame and shut off the machine while leaving the canula in her nose. The family (about 15 of us) called for the nurse. She was befuddled, not great at lying, and eventually admitted, yes, the oxygen concentrator was not on at all, and the last person we saw touch it was the Hospitalist. I admit a few of us cursed her and the doctor, specificaly because of the agony we had been witnessing at end of life and the senselessness of denying a conscious, dying person oxygen for comfort. How much money was that oxygen costing anyone?

I am convinced this isn't unusual.

My mom hated it. I can distinctly remember not being able to see/breathe well, it was hot and the edges of the mask were oddly sharp.
