MIL asked me a few years ago whether the dental hygienist ever pinched me to distract me from the dental work, and then showed me the bruise it left. There are people like this in every industry. But they especially like the jobs that allow them to get away with pinching old

Today I've been pelted with every kind of precipitation except crayfish. That better not be next.

My husband found WV's traffic camera website. Now he sends me warnings and screenshots like this one: 🐄 Be careful out there, The Appalachian Podcast

Ken better hope my MIL never sees this post or he'll be covered up in banana bread until one of them passes on to glory Even now she probably paused, sensing there was a dessert-hungry man out there somewhere who felt disappointed.

Every spring my Gran's daffodils remind us of her

I love this type of comment because whether or not he meant to begin with the words ''second hand'' it's like zooming in on a fractal--the joke keeps unfolding. Even if it was unintended. (And maybe even funnier/more horrifying combo)

Another <dark> example: Years ago I read in local news that someone hurled himself in front of a car to end his life. Was saddened to recognize the car make and model and the last name of a school parent. Guy was just minding his business on his way to work and got pulled into

is it time is it time

Was playing "20 questions" in the car with my 5yo. I asked "It is real?" Yes. "Is it something people make?" Yes. ... After a while I gave up, and he said, "The moon." I objected, "You said people make it." He said, "Jesus made it." And I was astonished at his doctrine.

Made these for Dad not too long ago. He wrinkled his nose a little. "What?! I thought these were your favorite; Mom made them all the time!" Turns out they're Mom's favorite. She made them because she likes them. He always ate a bunch because he was just hungry.

MIL's O2 levels were dipping ytrdy and she was short of breath. I went in the back room to help FIL with something. Came back and she was gone. Was in yard ''checking to see if the tulips were blooming''. What is this risk profile?

We were in Colorado once on vacation and the normally clear stream that ran through town turned this color. We were like, ''Uh, oh.'' Crew was cleaning up an old mine site up stream and it got away from them.

My family stock piled cans of stew for Y2K, but Dad would look across the street and ask, ''What about Hester?'' So we knew we could never leave her over there if it happened. (None of us can stomach that stew, now. We had to eat it all.)

my grandpa, somewhat cryptically, told my dad once, "Always look out for Hester." So we tried. She had a terrier with my name and I was so curious whether she named it after me but too bashful to ask.

Now I trip over them when I go out to get the mail.

This may be an april fool's joke but they'll never put this one back in the bottle

X is only worthwhile if you provide something. People passively scrolling without practicing articulation of thought, X is a net negative for them. You should be here to act, not to be acted upon.

Well I work with teenagers so I already get a lot of that, such as, ''Your hair is going gray, you need to dye it,'' and,''You shouldn't stifle your sneeze like that. My dad did and he threw his back out and he's your age.'' I go to X to build and see what others are building.
