Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

[coolerifyoudid]

Pet peeve-People doing Go Fund Me's just to help them get something they want. For instance my sister just posted one to help her buy a house. No you can save or buy what you can afford like the rest of us. Not to mention that will make your life hell when it comes time to finance.

We had neighbors a few years ago that were like this. I was Facebook friends with the wife for about 1 week (which was 7 days too many). Every post was either a Go Fund Me request, her selling something, her asking for something for free or her re-posting a friend's Go Fund Me.

Every one of her requests was for something everyone else pays for (house, new car, vacation, etc). For an extra bonus, she'd sprinkle in a religious reference or a Bible quote for good measure.

Does either team have a stadium that seats that many?

No they're bringing in extra bleachers. Still will be a lot of people standing though.

So I just took a delivery ticket out to the warehouse, and the guys had the radio on, I hear "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. And that made me think of Dazed and Confused, which in turn made me think of @coolerifyoudid, because of his avatar.

How's that for some RTT thinking on a Friday afternoon?

I honestly didn't even click on it but my wife just did. She is asking for $25k!!!!! Her justification was "well someone suggested I do it because people ask for all kinds of things on there." THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT!

There should be a Robin Hood option so people could steal from stupid Go Fund Me accounts and transfer it to a legitimate charity.

So, I'm going to say that thing that no man ever wants to hear. If a cough is still with you after three weeks, GO SEE THE DOCTOR.

I thought you were going to say you were knocked up. Telling me to go see the doctor isn't so bad.

I actually texted my GP this morning to get his opinion. Pretty sure he'll want to listen to my chest, and then he'll give me some antibiotic. But yeah, I don't want this to turn into pneumonia.

GP?? GrandPa??? Your older than me so if you called your grandpa, he won't be able to hear anything when he listens to your chest.

I can't remember who it was anymore, but a few years ago, someone on CF did a screenshot and they had something like 240 notifications. Another poster asked them about it and they were like, "I'll check them out eventually."

I've come back after a weekend one time to 34 of them and wondered if they were going to positive or if I'd managed to become the next Bode.

I once let my notices hit close to 500. Just to see if they could get there.

I WAS kind of wondering about moisture in the box creating unwanted furry growth on the kernels...

You're welcome, jcyclonee.

I read that out loud, and the broomstick in the corner levitated. Thanks, Hermione.

True - because they're both deceased. (And GP is short for General Practitioner.)

I like your relatives. Healthy sense of entitlement. Makes evil, arrogant in-laws seem less like outliers.

So does this mean you're not excluding yourself from putting Vicks Vaporub on scyclone's chest?

Shhh. I think he texted his guinea pig.

For some odd reason I started thinking of the movie "Death to Smoochy" Watched a few Youtube clips. Forgot how funny that movie is if you enjoy black comedies.

Honestly she does have some kind of mental disability (mostly depression type stuff) that neither her nor my parents will even speak to me about so there is a lot going on there.

I can relate to that. Had a mentally ill aunt who was institutionalized for years and didn't know half of the stuff going on until our parents told us when we were all adults. Wound up cousins had half siblings we didn't know about, aunt tried suicide when pregnant with her youngest son, and my dad was trustee of some property my grandparents had left her that they didn't want her cheating husband to get his hands on but wanted available for her when she needed it. So Dad was worried one of us would need to take over as trustee when he was sick and told us the whole sordid deal. You are old enough that your parents probably need to fill you in.
