“ran out of medication” me sneaks up on “functional and medicated” me
I’m a simple lady; I recognize the vague outlines of a joke, so I upvote.
In the US, in the weeks leading up to the new school year starting late August/early September, many retailers will offer discounts on school supplies - paper, pencils and pens, backpacks, etc - to attract customers. Many clothing retailers market it to students as a great time for a wardrobe refresh or to reinvent your look entirely and offer discounts. Same deal with electronics, especially since higher math courses tend to have required calculators. Some states - including Ohio, where I live - offer a sales tax holiday on a weekend during this season to help with the expense involved.
It’s wicked expensive with just one kid, I can’t imagine having several.
the_itsb = the Ill-Tempered Sea Bass, and though it’s a batfish and not a sea bass, I’ve always thought this guy conveys the ill-tempered part beautifully.
Who I actually am as a person is a little more like some kind of crab. There’s the strawberry crab, who is “small, brightly-colored … known to be quite toxic,” which sounds just like me without medication. 😂 And then there’s the black-eyed hermit crab, who “often inhabits shells left by massive moon snails … often covered with colorful pink anemone-like hydroids, making this critter even cuter.”
I think the physical and psychological distress that tend to result from Vogon poetry would be problematic for the celebrational mood I’m hoping to achieve, but there will definitely be gorgeous sandwiches crafted by the loving hands of an artisan of intergalactic renown.
I’ve never seen a recipe for Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters that appealed to me, but I’m hoping to get that sorted as well.
The original Rice Krispies Treats cereal was the best. The current is a pale imitation and lacks the depth of flavor the original had - it wasn’t overly sweet, and it had a perfect balance of vanilla and puffed rice flavor that is hard to explain.
I’ve lived in Ohio most of my 41 years and had never heard of goetta before just now. Googling tells me it’s mostly a Cincinnati thing, and that’s the part of the state I’ve spent the least time in. I guess that explains why I’ve not seen it, but doesn’t help me understand why it’s a state food. Spaghetti chili from Cincinnati spread a lot more than goetta. We even used to have a Skyline Chili on Union Street in Athens!
Can’t argue buckeyes though, that’s a classic.
I’m turning 42 next summer and have been thinking about hosting a Towel Party; this image is going to be very helpful.
How will anyone know I exist if they can’t hear (or read) my bitching?!?
Those ears! 😍 I wonder what it’s like to be able to hear mouse farts and bird burps?
There’s something tricksy about their faces, like maybe they’re the kinda guys who might try to hide extra rows of razor-sharp teeth behind the cute front ones. Big chaotic neutral energy!
This is a really impressive paint job. I zoomed in to look for evidence of pitting on the metal because the shading and distribution of the “rust” is so convincing. I love it!
My mom was in the hospital over Thanksgiving, and I cannot fathom the devastation I would have felt if I had come home from all the stress and difficulty there and discovered my beloved little buddy was gone; to say my heart breaks for you sounds hyperbolic, but I’ve got tears in my eyes typing this. I am so sorry.

This is genius! I’m so excited to tell my friends, thank you so much for this tip!
I don’t dispute for a second that Elon’s an idiot, but his ex-wife did ask him to buy and kill Twitter:
“Can you buy Twitter and then delete it, please!? xx” Riley allegedly texted Musk on March 24. “America is going INSANE.”
Maybe it’s not 3D chess but just transparent - yet effective! - stupidity. Buying Twitter was fiscally foolish, but it does seem like he’s gonna kill it, so 🤷

I suspect you might be joking and I just didn’t get it, but just in case - do your ducks actually respond to verbal cues??
I have friends with ducks, and another friend who tried to have ducks this spring and lost them all to predation, and I know they would all love to be able to get their ducks to get to bed on time.
This is a perfect rant in that it is so specific it loops back around to universality. I have no experience with any of the programs you mentioned - I’m only in the comments because I thought my husband, who uses SolidWorks sometimes in his day job, might find this thread entertaining - and yet I totally related to everything in your comment. I have felt all those same frustrations, just with different software; stuff that was perfectly fine getting “improved” to the point of uselessness for my situation.
You’re a great writer! It takes skill to rant so well about niche stuff that anybody can relate.
That caption is 🤌
