The only time my folks call me is if someone died, or is about to die.

My Grandma is 89 and still lives in the dairy farm where I grew up. I got her a cell phone about ten years ago for emergencies. She called me recently really excited because she had just received her first text.

I live in the only state that does not have a mandatory seat belt law.

Now if I can just figure out how to silence the damn dinger.

Try googling for a hack. I wear my seatbelt but my car (subaru) would ding a reminder incessantly before i even remotely had a chance to strap in. The hack worked, shut it up.

I hate it when one of my parents calls because it's always the same thing. Never anything good. The last time my mom called me a couple of weeks ago was at 7am on a weekday when I was in the middle of getting ready for work and didn't have time to chat so she said, "OK, it's nothing bad. Well, some bad news but give me a call after work." You can't end a conversation like that so I made her tell me the news. She called to tell me my aunt has breast cancer. Awesome way to start the day.

People need to stop being a bunch of [expletive] sissies and grow up.

That's not directed at anyone here but I felt like saying it.

It's not my fault.

Target had their Valentines Candy 75% off today.

Triple Chocolate M&M's are a thing.

A glorious thing.

At any university, I pretty much guarantee the most annoying people to work with will be the business school people.

The usage of "White Chocolate" should be disallowed. Just the term.
