Just like living in my home!

I’ve never lived in a cave and I have arthritis.
I didn’t know scientists would put you in a stockade.
What bedding? There is only fur.
When I was a kid and someone asked me “what’s up?” I would, as a smug little snot, say “a direction, similar to but diametrically opposed from down.”
TIL there was a better way to say that.

See, that’s what I don’t get about this. First, I question its veracity; however, I would love if my kid (I don’t yet have grandkids) came up with and stuck with a cute nickname for me. With a few exceptions, I don’t care what anyone calls me so long as I can recognize that they’re addressing me; and if someone comes up with a non malicious nickname for me, it’s an indicator of a lasting and likely affectionate relationship.
I’m toynbee, but if you want to call me cheese, that’s cool with me.
That was my theory as well.

51·6 days agoI’ve dislocated my shoulder fourteen times. Somewhere amongst those dislocations, I had a surgery to stop it from happening again. (It didn’t work.) However, the surgeon apparently forgot to write a prescription for the kind of medicine that one would usually have after having a shoulder sliced open. As a result, I didn’t sleep that night and, as a further result, I read the entirety of a Warhammer book.
(I’m not actually sure it shows up in this stack; I think it was a witch hunter series. Most of what I remember is some nemesis severing the tendons required to smile.)
Anyway, I haven’t dislocated my shoulder in a while - whether due to surgery or fortuity I couldn’t say - but the above is all that comes to my mind when I think of Warhammer books. Also, I now have three tiny scars about my shoulder.

1·6 days agoI’m not sure which these were, but either way, I found their presence offensive. Thanks for the information though!
“Segway” is an interesting name for an armadillo.
edit: Another comment has clarified things.
I never liked candy (other than gummies). Seemingly unrelatedly, my older brother and I were never close.
As a kid, I always appreciated the apparent good will I got from giving him all my non-gummi candy on Halloween.

10·6 days agoThe Home Depot nearest to where I used to live had cameras in the tools section … Which is fine, but whenever they noticed a person in view, they would turn on the attached screens and play a tone every ten seconds or so. I guess it was to remind you that you were being surveilled?
Anyway, I always found them intrusive, annoying and offensive. I’m not surprised they’ve become part of a larger problem.
This is impressive, but I would 100% kick that panel on the floor every time I walked by.
Do they have any grapes?

7·9 days agoOne of the nice things about being on the toilet is that most of the process doesn’t require your eyes to be open.
That might enhance the effect.
