So how’d it go? Was he/she able to help?

At least talk to your doctor. He might know of an anti-anxiety medication that would be safe with your other meds.

This just happened to us today! We took the dog to some trails nearby. On the way home wife wants me to go by Target for a few things. We get there and she asks if we should take him in with us. I’m like “Hell no. I already think Home Depot is a no go even though it’s a common site there, but I draw the line at a place like Target.” And don’t even get me started on the rudeness of owners who don’t carry waste disposal bags any time they have their dog.

The crooked board of directors of our company hired a narcissist and small time corporate raider to become the CEO of our company. He did millions of dollars of damage to our company in three short years, but we finally ousted him and good people are back in charge.

I like thunder except for the way it displays long horizontal images in my tablet.

It seems to me there is a very simple answer to the issue pointed out in the article—mental health problems are out of control, and no matter how many therapists and doctors we employ to combat it, there’s just no stopping it.

No advice, but I sympathize. I once sat listening to music while waiting for my flight to board. When there was no activity and fewer passengers in the area than I expected, I discovered that while I had been waiting they changed the gate for my flight. I ended up waiting in Chicago Midway (this was before their big upgrades in the early 00s) for 12 hours. It was hell.

AP and Reuters.

You might enjoy this article about this very thing; apparently John Wesley had some thoughts about this. https://firebrandmag.com/articles/all-cats-and-dogs-go-to-heaven#:~:text=It%27s%20particularly%20interesting%20given%20Wesley%27s,It%20was%20paradisiacal%3B%20perfectly%20happy.

That’s how I felt when listening to King’s Dark Tower series when Frank Muller was replaced with George Guidall (who is a fantastic narrator in his own right). Then I discovered there was a pretty compelling reason they had to switch.

That was one of my first observations about him was that he just isn’t very intelligent.

Exactly

All of the cans had both ends cutout of them except one…the bottom can. The end of the tube was sealed by that end of the can. On the side of the can just an inch or so from the end you put a hole large enough to squirt in the lighter fluid. I remember some kids shaking the tube to try and get the lighter fluid throughout the tube and not just in the end, but I never noticed that helped.

We used to make those too. We called them tennis ball canons. You pretty much described the whole thing. Make a big tube from a bunch of cans taped together and put a hole in the bottom one. Squirt lighter fluid into the hole, put your tennis ball in the other side, and light the lighter fluid through the hole.

Chair pants ftw

Every now and then I browse https://topclassactions.com/category/lawsuit-settlements/open-lawsuit-settlements/ to see if there is anything I qualify for. Most are $5-$10 things. But they give you these virtual gift cards with the money on them, and you cannot combine them all into one card. So now I have a bunch of these cards with $2-7 on them, and I can’t use them because there’s not enough on any card to buy anything.

This is specific to McDonalds, but the principles apply: https://youtu.be/4VETXsKd0Z8

I’ve always had trouble labeling King as horror just because most horror is gruesome, and King rarely is. I used to be critical of his work because of that before I’d ever read it, and then once I started reading him I realized that how he’s marketed is very different from what his work is in reality. King didn’t like the movie of the Shining because it’s not at all like the book. But it IS a fantastic movie in its own right. Just go into it knowing it’s a very different story from the book.
