Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

This is the best turn of phrase I have heard in months. And it describes that bullshit so very well.
I checked Facebook for the first time since I hid Takei's posts. It's so liberating to not see five Knowable links on my feed. And my computer doesn't have to autoplay an inspiring video of Trigglypuff's fatter cousin competing in a 100-meter sprint with a queer, pregnant, biracial midget.

Huh. I just realized you can randomly arrange subjects and make a headline for inspiration porn videos. Like how Family Guy makes their cutaways.
 
I haven't hidden Takei posts, and I'm really not seeing all that much crap from him. Yeah, there's the occasional click bait, but honestly, maybe like one a week

I also found Facebook to be a lot more palatable with FB Purity installed and "likes" filtered out. Now I only have stuff in my feed that people actually post or comment on. Makes it a lot less of a slog to get through.

Have you hidden posts from the usual clickbait sites? That's probably why. Takei constantly links to them and if you are blocking, say, Distractify, then the link just won't show on your feed. Try visiting his actual page and it's bursting with clickbait.
 
I was thinking of going up to Pittsburgh on my day off to check out a couple of stationery stores. Turns out that Obama will be attending Dan Rooney's funeral at about the same time. Very likely to cause havoc with my planned routes. :p
 
Does the former president really cause a logistical nightmare in the way a sitting president does?
He still gets a secret service detail.

There was that one time I was trapped in my house for hours because Cheney was passing through. Went right in front of the house.

I hate trying to hit the moving target of Amazon prices. I bought a Lodge Dutch Oven for $50 because it was cheaper than the Tramotina one, even though it was half a quart larger. So I place my order, then Amazon shows an ad that has the Tramotina one for less.

Jeebus!

There'd be no problem if you shopped at stores that come to you.

They don't protect former presidents to the extreme degree they protect sitting presidents, but it's more than just a single car and a body guard. A lot of it probably depends on the climate and threat level. However, for announced-in-advance visits the security is going to be much more pervasive than visits that are unpublished.

That said, most recent former presidents have large travelling staffs, personal assistants, organization heads (charities, their library, etc), advisers, etc. The motorcode isn't so much about bringing the president or former president to an event as it is about bringing them and all their retinue. Former presidents have nearly as large a travelling staff as sitting presidents, and they still get similar guard service, so street closures, local police escort, etc are still expected for official visits and travels.

They get free flights on USAF planes, but this is usually reserved for official business as well, and many choose private jets anyway.

Further, they still receive briefings on governmental goings on, and are sometimes asked to weigh in on matters of national security.

They can and do take commercial flights for leisure purposes, they board last, seat in front, and debark first with their service detail.

WHY are you rating that post "Love it?!" This is not a "love it" situation, it's swarms of bugs fucking (literally fucking) everywhere, in the air, on your house, on your car, in your hair, EVERYWHERE is sex for these!

And the worst thing of all is their acidic body chemistry, which means if you splat lovebugs on the highway you have to get a car wash RIGHT NOW or the goop hardens and basically takes your paint off with it.



I mean, granted, if my adult lifespan was 3-5 days, I'd spend all of it fucking, too, but I'd at least do it indoors and in private!

Gets free orgy all up in his face, complains. There's no pleasing some people!
 
My husband has been out of town most of this month and will be for the rest of the month. It's mostly fine, but since I now have to bring my daughter to school in the morning, I noticed my overall stress level is way higher. This is because it's a huge struggle later to get my son ready for school and out to the bus in time because he has started developing some worrying OCD/repetitive behaviors that make just going to the bathroom and getting dressed take a very long time. Usually I can climb back into bed after he gets on the bus and being able to do that helps with de-stressing, but now I have to stay up and make sure my daughter is getting out the door on time too.

So my stress levels are up, and school for my son is getting worse and worse because all of these repetitive behaviors are showing up at school. He also has taken to preferring to sit on the floor, and his teachers have a real problem with it. So he's starting to hurt himself as punishment for not following their rules because for some reason he's decided that he can't sit in chairs.

Oh, and I have to deal with getting my car fixed from that accident a couple of weeks ago this week, schedule a tow from my house etc, and hopefully my husband is back BEFORE it's done, because picking it up when it's done is going to be very tricky otherwise.
 
Oh, sure, I didn't want to go on a road trip to the Twin Cities tomorrow. I just looooove going to the shop and getting a new battery installed because my wife's car didn't start!

Got my car washed while I was out for lunch. Made the mistake of taking the highway back to work. May as well have not bothered with the car wash because new lovebugs have rendered moot my removal of the old ones.
 
They keep calling me to the mayor's office. That guy is scary. I hate being the director. Only two days more.
