2 days agoI had a dream last night where I had to move my wedding ring from my left hand to my right hand, but I couldn’t because my right hand was swollen.

21·5 days agoA 34-year-old Oklahoma mother will spend the rest of her life behind bars for allowing her husband to impregnate her 11-year-old daughter, then forcing the child to give birth at home without any medical care.
I did not read the whole article, but I suspect the lack of medical care had less to do with saving money than with hiding her involvement in the rape of her own daughter.
Didn’t remove the valve. Just loosen it. The tire will still lose air, but it will be harder to know why.
Last year I just played this on repeat:
Sejanus in I, Claudius.
I’ve been calling him President Pedo for a while.
I guess it depends on what kind of white people movie.
This is embarrassing, but I was really, really young.
I watched it during a Saturday morning creature feature on TV.
It has a disembodied alien hand that crawls around attacking people. The hand has needle-like nails on the fingers that it uses to inject victims with poison. It terrified me. I spent years jumping to my bed from the door in case there was a hand hiding under the bed.
FYI, if I remember correctly, the “poison” it injects is just alcohol. If it attacked you, you just ended up drunk.

I don’t have to request anything.
That’s what a bad driver would say.
Yeah, you’re wrong. If someone is tailgating me, I’m going to reduce my speed to minimize the impact.
I’ve been hit. I’ve been hit by people who were tailgating me. When that’s happened it didn’t matter what I did. If I speed up, they speed up. If I slow down, they stay right there. I’ve literally turned on my hazard lights and had people continue to tailgate.
It’s not about policing other drivers. It’s about minimizing the damage they will eventually cause.
I don’t speed.
I mean I do, but only if I’m not paying attention. I naturally want to go fast. If there were no cars on the road, I’d be going as fast as I want. During the pandemic, when no one else was on the road and cops weren’t pulling people over, I was getting to work in 30 minutes. Normally it takes no less than 45, and usually more like an hour and a half.
However, I don’t speed because there are other cars on the road.
I’ll drive at the speed limit if I can. I used to drive about 5 mph above the speed limit, but the last time I was doing that, I stopped for a school bus dropping off kids, and the guy behind me didn’t even stop looking at his phone (I assume). And it occurred to me that he was going 5mph faster than he would have been because I let him.
So now I try (again, fighting my nature) to never go above the speed limit. I also never drive closer than 4 seconds to the car in front of me. I also very slowly decrease my speed down to 10 mph below the speed limit if someone is tailgating me.
Prior to the pandemic, people would be annoyed, and they’d aggressively pass me when it was safe to do so. Since the pandemic people just cross the double yellow line into oncoming traffic to pass.
They’ve made it much harder than it used to be to get your license in PA, but it’s still too easy to get and keep your driver’s license. Every driver should have to repeat a driving test every five years.
My wife has health problems, and voluntarily stopped driving about 15 years ago when she noticed she was developing muscle weakness. The only time she’s driven a car since was an early Sunday morning when I took her to the empty high school parking lot and had her drive our civic around so she could just see what it felt like.
My dad drove him and my mom to church on the day he died. He had been having increasing number of car accidents, but no one could stop him from driving. My wife and I refused to ride in a car with him driving. I think the last accident he had was with a light pole in a parking lot because “the sun was in his eyes.”
If his heart had given out on the highway on the way instead of in church, my siblings and I would have had to bury both parents.
A former boss would say, “Don’t just do something. Sit there!”
It’s a way to remember that very often it is more important to do the right thing than it is to just do something. Stop, think, then act.
Shit. November isn’t a great time to start a victory garden where I am.
I also have trees blocking sunlight for as long as they have leaves.
I guess it’s mushrooms in the basement for me.
