at 20 years old, working in a chemical plant, doing hydrostatic testing on piping on the roof on a 12 hour shift and the fucking Fred Flintstone whistle blew and I swung down off that pipe like a monkey and landed asshole first on an instrumentation pole. I broke my coccyx, but because I was still probationary and couldn't afford to lose the job, I had to suck it up and walk it off.
to this day (35 years later), a couple times a year, I can't sit down for a few days.
Yeah, perhaps I should rethink that. My tailbone is dislocated outward from childbirth. I fell chasing said child in a playground. Either they skimped on the mulch, or 9" of mulch was not enough to cushion it. I couldn't sit w/o adonut for weeks. No worker's comp bc moming is not real work.
Sainted Mom, I remember, once wore her hair in a ponytail while doing housework. Remembering the Good n' Plenty TV commercial, I latched onto it and, holding on with all my weight, went "Choo choo"!
Why the fuck offer repair/rebuild kits for a well pump if it costs more to repair the fucking thing than to replace the fucking thing? This has been your daily this fucking thing rant. Please continue.
You’d think with the money these assholes have they could hire a professional book reader who is fluent in Spanish instead of using AI slop. Rich people are so fucking cheap.
JD's invitation looks like a funeral home program collided with the menu from one of those fake vintage diners where the food is worse than Cracker Barrel.
Evan--DO go to Grand Isle (near the Convention Center). We're in NOLA a couple of times a year and we go there each time, because it's nice and casual, and good food, and great staff. People always go to the "big name" places but there's a place for just great oysters too!
But regarding "name" places, The Turkey and the Wolf's collard greens melt is SO GOOD--maybe the best sandwich I've ever had (weirdly).
So what you're saying is that if Pete (hic!) Hague-seth's super-jacked, smooth-shaven Army won't have you >cough<muscle queen>cough<, Kirsti Noem will take your mom's-basement-dwelling bod into her gestapo?
Just got done at my doctor’s office. Thank god she took her time examining me—that’s more than can be said for the two ER docs. Verdict? Venous insufficiency. She put me on a more intense fluid pill, but she also confirmed no infection (thank god).
The swelling of fluid backing up, the tiny bit of leakage, and the raised areas of skin are, she said, all indicative of venous insufficiency.
So fluid pills, plus I’m supposed to get compression stockings. Hooray.
Hi all, here is your gif source post for today, and my last missive from Italy. Thanks to Ziggy for keeping the meme posts going.

Mom is the epitome of patience as her kid uses her tail as a rubber band.
Kids!
MAMA ... MAMA ... MAMA ... MAMA ... Pay attention to meeeeeeeeee Mama!!!
Mommy, I kill danger noodle creeping up on u!
I would have like having a tail to entertain them with when I had 3 toddlers.
Mama lion looks so patient, it warms my heart.
Mama lion is probably thinking "What's for dinner? Gotta catch it first."
Mama Lion looks like she goes through this a LOT.
Training cubby to hunt for hubby.
Mama doesn't get upset
Although it takes some tryin'
The urge to give that kid a bat
Takes some strong denyin'
But mama takes it in her stride
Cuz she loves her little scion
She knows he is a growing cub
And will be a fine grown lion
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I wish humans had tails.
Only if they were prehensile.
That's how I pictured them.
I have tailbone deformity resulting from a fracture that looks like a docked tail.
I wish like hell that I'd known about Worker's Comp when I fell off of that ladder onto the shoe display table at the old Anthony's Deptartment Store.

yeah, I gots me a little tail nub too. :)

It hurt like HELL for a while, didn't it?
Sitting down became a major undertaking.
To this day there is an obvious deformity there and I have to be careful about skin breakdown.
Yes! I forgot how much. You know what? Fuck tails.
We could use a whole tribe of mommy lions snacking on ICE agents.....
Contented mommy, keeping her baby happy and occupied.
I have a picture of a foster kitten about to attack my older cat's tail, taken in the instant before the pounce. It always makes me laugh.

Commence butt wiggle...
Mom.
Mom.
MOM!
*sigh* What is it now?
"Junior? Go see if your father needs help. If he doesn't, help him anyway..."
Mom might have to go shopping for dinner soon.
Sainted Mom, I remember, once wore her hair in a ponytail while doing housework. Remembering the Good n' Plenty TV commercial, I latched onto it and, holding on with all my weight, went "Choo choo"!
Mom never wore her hair in a ponytail again.
Funny, I did the same thing.
It's been an entire week now, and mom still hasn't spoken to me.
Babby lion and Mama - lovely!
Mama Mia!
MTrump probably didn't read her book cos:
a) she didn't write it
2) she can't read it either
and (iii) she can't speaka da spanish
ICE arresting home builders is not going to solve any aspect or our housing crisis.
Not one of those fascist mofo's could stand a cool December 8-hr day on a roof, much less a boiling hot or rainy 10-12 hr one.

Phrenology, sadly, is a lost art.
i think lice barbie 'n corey would be good choices to babysit nutcrusher's kids if pee wee german is too busy with war crimes and kidnappings
If every one of those roofers who had a gun pointed at them would file a $million plus lawsuit, those cowardly fucks would lose their guns.

That's their "Fuck YOU" to the "Right to Repair Act".
You’d think with the money these assholes have they could hire a professional book reader who is fluent in Spanish instead of using AI slop. Rich people are so fucking cheap.
As someone who watched the Texas redistricting "debates" (two in person), let me state that I am shocked, shocked, that the Supreme Court allowed it.
JD's invitation looks like a funeral home program collided with the menu from one of those fake vintage diners where the food is worse than Cracker Barrel.
Pop up bs made that Newsweek link unusable IMO....

That sucks, and I hope the pills help quickly.
Will Bari Weiss smoke on camera during the town hall like Ed Murrow?
