I Was About 4 And Said To My Dad, "Screw You!" He Wheeled On Me With Ferocity Unforeseen And I Couldn't

I was about 4 and said to my dad, "Screw you!" He wheeled on me with ferocity unforeseen and I couldn't figure out why...I thought it meant using a screwdriver. I mean, he said it all the time; what else could he have been talking about?

story time: i taught my little cousin her first longer word when she was very young. i taught her to say “tax benefits”. and to this day my aunt still doesn’t know where she got it from, but it was a hilarious sight to see a little toddler waddling around the house, wearing a big diaper, all the while yelling “TAX BENEFITS!!!!”

Inn Keeper's Company

He'd seen them all: lovers, liars, dreamers, and pretenders. He'd seen the lucky and those whom luck had forsaken; winners and losers... and cheaters.

Some were here to "go somewhere"; some were here because they had nowhere to go. Some came to nourish the soul; some came to forget they had one.

Most were as ordinary as the summer day is long; a few seemed to have stepped in from another world.

This  was the place where deals were struck, promises were made, and  broken; where one might find a soul mate or a bed mate, or may take in the flow and tangle of voices, melodies, and bodies from a lonely corner.

None of them stayed for long, though.  Dreams faded, plans faltered; the appeal lost its luster in the light of day, with strong coffee in the mug rather than ale. Perhaps some of the ambitious ones, or the lucky ones, moved on to pursue those plans and dreams.  He didn't know... none ever stayed for long -- except for one, and she curled into the crook of his arm every night after cleaning up the messes.

This is one of my favorite parks. My grandmother used to have a house on the lake about a mile south of this park and we kids would hike or row up there, hike around the old quarry, have a cook-out, swim through the waves... ah, summer!

Just had an online Dr appointment (meds check-up). Made me feel like a criminal trying to get away with something. Sheesh! If they had to deal with me off my meds, they'd be showering me with those little pills, slipping extras into my coffee, duct taping them to my arms in hopes of attaining continual baseline dosing...

CALM DOWN ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY.

Don’t worry. They still have to go to court.

But guess what? There’s something you didn’t know about the vote.

Get this: the vote was basically illegal.

You heard me right. Eric Schneiderman, American lawyer, said in Twitter: “I will sue to stop the FCC’s illegal rollback of #netneutrality. New Yorkers and all Americans deserve a free and open internet.”

Not only do we have another ally, but now we know that the vote wasn’t supposed to happen.

We’ve got this. Now the REAL FIGHT starts now.

10 reasons not to vaccinate my kid:

1. I believe in god and don’t understand statistics. 2. I have no idea of chemistry and biology and therefore believe that any association with a harmful element is automatically harmful. Even if the amount is insignificant. 3. I do not understand the difference between correlation and causality. 4. I ignore the most obvious studies and prefer to believe quacks that have been refuted a thousand times, that either have never treated or rightly no longer treat patients. 5. I cannot distinguish serious and scientific sources from lies and false promises and therefore believe that [insert arbitrary facebook/twitter/random page]  is a credible source. 6. I know that there are problems with the pharmaceutical industry, therefore I consistently ignore everything that has to do with science and real medicine. 7. I do not understand the concept of herd immunity. 8. I do not watch news and therefore do not know what is going on in countries and regions lacking adequate vaccination protection. 9. I am not able to think logically and I don’t even realize that a conspiracy of this magnitude (with millions of people involved) could never be kept secret. 10. I want my child to die.

Yup... This

“nasa gone rogue” sounds like they’re stealing rockets and going to the moon illegally or something

but nope, “rogue” these days is a word that means “posting real climate change facts that your president doesn’t want you to know”

Wow! Eye-opener! Honestly, I never understood why people don't do this...It seems so logical to me.

I no longer struggle with math, though...once you realize it's just a language that describes the world around us, the veil is lifted and tossed to the wind.

finding out people dont usually add numbers by first adding something to make a ten (for example 7+6= 7 plus 3 is 10 plus another 3 is 13) & that its actually an adhd thing is the WILDEST shit literally ive lived like 10 years (or however old i was when i learned to add and stuff) thinking thats how everyone does it. what the fuck
