Aha! I’ve always wondered why office postage meters are called franking machines.

I just wanted to add to ask the doc if they’d give the green light to seeing a physical therapist. The PT was way more effective in helping me manage my back pain, whereas the doc would advise painkillers, muscle relaxers, and heat.

We’re all just recirculated stardust.

I found a service that will mix your ashes in concrete and make you into an artificial reef. I like the idea of getting coral and sea fans to grow on me.

We don’t have to switch hands with our forks in order to pick up a knife.

You need more capital. One million… billion dollars oughta do it.

Yes. They don’t have to be public companies for investors to lose their shirts, and employees to lose their jobs.

What kind of work do they get into?

I 100% expected this to turn into a Hell in the Cell meme

Same! First thought the title was a typo!

Very good points. I based my comment on a personal experience with family, and they were not endangered by waiting a few days to see a cardiologist. I didn’t know there could be other causes that are critical enough for the ER. But I should have guessed because I know it is similar with tachycardia. Sometimes someone’s had too much Red Bull, and sometimes it’s a birth defect in the nodes in the heart and heavy sedatives are needed to calm that down.

My husband would get wild upset stomachs before we went out on a date. His aunt would tease him that he was allergic to me. It was anxiety.

I could spend the whole weekend with him in his apartment, and he’d feel fine. It only happened before we planned to go out to dinner specifically. Lunch was nbd to his brain.

If it’s bugging you not knowing and you don’t want to wait until your clinic appt, then yes, urgent care would be able to at least tell you if it’s an emergency cardiac event and send you on to the ER, or if it’s something like afib and it can wait to follow up with an office visit.

Very serene.

That’s some really calm water. Was this at sunrise?

Anything is edible. Once.

Bertolli chicken parm and some garlic Texas toast is almost downright fancy, but it’s 100% dump, heat, eat.

Squirrels can clean out a feeder pretty quickly. Not as fast as deer can, but much faster than the birds.

So it’s a pain in the ass to go fill it back up, and it costs money. A person gets a bird feeder because they want to watch birds. There are cheaper ways to feed squirrels, if you like squirrels.

Both squirrels and birds can build nests in your home. Squirrels can chew their way into your attic, then you risk them chewing through wires. Birds nest in your dryer vent or bathroom vent. A nest in the dryer vent is a fire hazard. And they can introduce bird mites into your home. It’s like having a bed bug infestation except you can’t see them, their bites are hella itchy, and at least they can be dealt with by multiple rounds of thorough vacuuming. Ask me how I know.

I used to love to keep a bird feeder and watch the bird party on a snowy day. But I wasn’t out to feed the deer, and the mite problem erased any lingering feelings about feeding birds.

Hellboy animated a corpse to get info out of it. I don’t think he subscribes to modern jurisprudence though. I don’t recall him being concerned in the least with handing the corpse a subpoena first.

I know, what if we put lasers on the birds!
