will likely still be around after I die, unless someone leaves it in the rain or something.

Yup. Totally ruined. Lucky for you I have a special cast iron disposal company. Just bring me your rusty cast iron and I’ll dispose of it. The best part? 100% free.

Real Americans maintain a constant BAC of 0.1776! He’s a Patriot^TM damnit!

OP can’t pivot to a “no gifts” rule when prior gifts have been well received and did enrich OP’s life.

I’d certainly argue he can pivot. He just can’t expect adherence prior to voicing that opinion. I’d also mention that despite my personal “no gifts” rule, I’ve received gifts that were spectacular. With the rule in place it seems to force people to actually put thought into the gift rather than just trying to get somewhat close to my current interests and hobbies.

I have a pretty firm “just don’t get me any presents” rule. It’s taken some time to gain compliance with this rule. Similar to the shirt rule, I assume you gave some of those presents before being asked not to? Try the exact same approach that was used on you. Then you might have to reiterate it every once in a while.

It kinda sounds like you’re doing your best to just live your life and that’s what they are so intrusive over. Sounds more like they want you to force yourself to suffer for religion as they have and it pisses them off that you’re doing you (figuratively and literally). I’d guess they are very sexually repressed.

Which amount to nothing of he is able to get on a plane and fly away. I can’t imagine many countries willing to extradite someone because of some abandonment style crime in that situation.

Some dumbass MAGAt on any Facebook post about a single crime.

Also shoplifting items with high potential resale value.

One of the best villains I can remember from a game, Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2. Maybe he was just written so well, but he was amazing.

Gotta imagine that’s a combination of personal preference and/or hospital policy. From a liability standpoint that’s just easy evidence for a malpractice lawsuit if one was so inclined.

Unless you are doing lots of high quality color printing you really just need a simple black and white Laserjet. Use a kinkos or other print shop for anything fancy if needed. Could even find a local print shop if that’s your jam. Colleges can also fill this role depending on enrollment requirements (if you are or have college aged kids).

It’s OK. You can be a sneak archer. No one is going to judge you.

I, too, resent the man in the mirror.

You get an angry upvote for that. 🙄 🤣

Ha. That was actually unintended, but I’m leaving it as is.

I’ll give you two guesses. The first guess (#1) doesn’t count. 😉

Out the “in” or out the “out”. I actually think it was the latter as it was too far along for inducing vomiting. I might have to check with the friend.

Friend checked with. It was indeed vomiting. This was a larger golden. I think over 90 lbs (40kgs).

Not mine but a friend. They had a house with like 4 dogs. The biggest was a Golden who would enthusiastically nom other dogs’ necks. Then one day they noticed the air tag on one of the other dog’s collars was missing. Weirdly though it showed still in the house. I guess you can use your phone to tell it to make a sound to help you locate it. The sound was coming from inside the (golden) tum-tum! I forget how they retrieved it. I don’t think they needed surgery. But supposedly the air tag still worked after cleaning it up.

Have you tried putting in only 10% of the work? You might be surprised at the results.

Have you met people?

No no… that’s their best.

Not at all. Watch some lion fights. They get very close in a display of dominance. Well within striking range of a sword. They don’t understand a straight line piercing attack to their vulnerable chest and belly. This likely means they won’t defend a quick thrust.
