Where the Red Fern Grows

Meeting someone online is and has been “normal circumstances” for some years now.

Sounds more like someone who is mentally disabled to me, but it’s hard to tell.

My friends’ cats use theirs. I think they started getting them to by luring them with treats.

Sometimes a little too smart.

A puppy, and no, even though she did die of cancer right after she turned two. She was my joy.

That’s a big part of it, but some people are just loud and some restaurants just play their music way too loud all the time.

My experience in American restaurants is that the music is usually whatever is currently popular, so there’s a lot of hip hop and pop songs about dancing and fucking.

As a person with digestive problems that lead to hemorrhoids, this one in particular feels like a big fuck you.

I suspect these are not as famous as you think. Also, the formatting of your post is not as reader-friendly as it could be.

Drink a bunch of water (as in, as much as you can stomach or up to 32 oz or so) about an hour beforehand and you will really need to pee.

This is what is required when a pelvic ultrasound is performed so that you have a full bladder at first but also need to pee so that you can then be imaged with an empty bladder.

Also, if you can and can do so without overspending, this is why it’s best to use a credit card for all purchases rather than cash or debit. Can’t do a chargeback if you didn’t use a credit card.

My experience with System 76 a few years ago was similar. Perhaps the single worst purchase of my life. I had to send it back to them to fix the fucked up hardware (it had a loose power socket and a bad motherboard) more than once and each “repair” took months. The first time they sent it back, nothing had been fixed. It was more than half a year before the fancy laptop I got from them was in any way usable.

I’m essentially the same but with more wisdom/experience, less anxiety, and worse health.

Fortunately, the laundry was in the kitchen, so we just used it for storage for things we didn’t use much, like Christmas decorations.

They are one of few bugs that freak me out. Too many times did I have them jumping from all directions…

I’ve only ever seen camel crickets in one location, a house we moved into when I was around 12 or 13. None of us had ever seen one before. We called them spider crickets because at a glance they look very spidery.

You got lucky. Their mode of defense is actually to launch themselves directly at the threat. So we used to have to mentally prepare ourselves before walking into the basement because there would always be at least one spider cricket jumping right at us.

Octopus, octopuses, and octopodes are correct. Octopi incorrect.

I would recommend not using your regular email address or phone number. I think you might be required to give your real address, though.

The Martian is a little hard science for a lot of people, I agree. Great book, though.
