  • I was in a work trip once and got on the plane, put on my noise cancelling headphones and started listening to music. My co-worker sitting next to me had his headphones on and was playing Angry Birds. After about 5 minutes I realized that I felt like I could hear the Angry Birds music… I removed my headphones and my coworker was blasting his sound, and apparently didn’t realize that his headphones had never connected. I let him know and he was very apologetic and embarrassed. When he fixed it several people sitting around us thanked me.




  • That’s why I’m enjoying most of the updates… because the game does get repetitive, but then they add something new and I come back to it and can geek out on it for a while. Then it gets repetitive again and that becomes my cue to play something else for a while.

    I bought the game on sale several years ago and have more teen gotten my money’s worth out of it.


  • Everyone is entitled to their own decisions. I would love to check out the White House. I think it’s an incredible honor. Everyone that’s an American, if you have that opportunity, it’s an incredible one. So kind of bummed that I missed it, but for me it just didn’t work out.

    I have heard people who continue to visit the White House or attend events where trump is also in attendance saying things like “It doesn’t matter your politics, as an American it’s an honor to meet the president”, and yeah, in the past that might have flown, but if I had the chance to have my photo taken with Hitler, there’s no way I would ‘respectfully decline’… that would be an immediate “fuck no” from me.







  • My mom is what’s known as an ‘unreliable medical historian’… she very often hears something completely different from what her doctor tells her. I don’t want to say that she lies, because I think a ‘lie’ is a conscious choice that people make… but I also don’t think she’s incapable of understanding what her doctor tells her. I think she just has an idea of what the doctor is going to say, and when it is different she has a hard time letting go of her expectation and replacing it with reality.

    I have no idea if this relates to your mother or situation in any way… but if I took everything my mom said her doctor told her then she is the most unique medical specimen ever. Her diabetes is unlike anyone else’s because she can still eat whatever she wants, when she wants… her doctor said that it’s not a problem. And her diabetes has changed from type 2 to type 1. As she was preparing for spine surgery she was convinced that she’d be back home, on her own in 2 weeks (it was closer to 9 months). She swears that the only surgeon that her primary care doctor wants her to see is 2 states over, 6 hours from any of her family (I’ve looked him up, he’s decent, but by no means a unique surgeon). And lots of other strange stuff over the years, including when I was a child.
