  • I remember this as a kid, too! My mom said she wore a metal bra in a music video. We didn’t have MTV so I didn’t know who Madonna was, even. So I still had a bunch of questions that could’ve been solved with a Google search, had it existed.

    I don’t think I got this joke until maybe a decade later when the Internet was a thing and I saw a picture or a meme or something.


  • Working late, heart problems when stressed, no time to work on the house, snapping at your family when they cause a bigger setback?

    Dude, your job is killing you. You are being worked too hard. Your stress is too high. How many panic attacks have you had since you’ve worked there? Your family will mourn you if you die for your job. Your job will post your position on Indeed the day after.

    I was in your boat. I tried working less, asking management for help, taking vacation, meditation, etc. Some of those helped a little, but it didn’t fix it. I got a job elsewhere and while it’s not perfect, my family life is better, I feel much better and my heart doesn’t hurt.

    Take care of yourself. Your job won’t.










  • There’s a video out there of the shooting. The cops arrive at the scene near an allegedly stolen car, four black teens run in different directions away. Within six seconds of arriving on scene, the cop shoots and kills the kid that’s in front of him. He was holding a bag, and was absolutely running away.

    The cops say he had a gun after the fact, and I think the video shows a gun on the ground in the parking lot, away from where people were running. The two other teens were charged with whatever they call car theft there, one is still at large, and of course the last one was killed by police.

    I thought I found a non-edited version of the video last night, but I can’t find it again this morning. Yet.



  • I love in Oklahoma, Tornado Alley, and most of our lines are on poles. So every bad storm or tornado, we lose power. And every time it’s suggested, “experts” cover back and say it’s too expensive. I didn’t believe it - all the manpower and cost to rebuild would be gone vs a one time burying cost. But of course, there’s no kickbacks on lines that don’t need repairing.

    I’m sure the East coast is the same deal. Someone’s making money off that outage.
