COFFEE TIME and another phone intake interview with Jocelyn at CHIMO done as of 11:15 AM!

From Serious Eats and my ex-friend Chris in 2008: Tofucken and Turducken and other interesting meat marriages!

From Joe Bradburn on the Save-On Foods Facebook page on July 7, 2016: "In our house, we refer to turkey burgers as Turgers for reasons pertaining to linguistic efficiency." DISLIKE! I know that portmanteaus are a thing ("Brexit," "Brangelina," etc.), but if you're too lazy to enunciate "TUR-KEY BUR-GERS," what the heck is the matter with you?! Besides, "turgers" could sound like "turds" if you aren't careful, and you sound way too pretentious in your Facebook post anyway.

From Julie: Coronavirus coming to the United States? Here are some Karens with lavender essential oils!

There was snow this morning at 11 AM! Of all the people, Auntie Vonnie texted me (at least identifying herself, unlike either of my parents) saying that the building insurance had expired as of January 4, so I had to call Hester to find out if I still needed it (yes), and then tell her about the light bulb issue. "If the light bulb is broken, that's your job. [NOT what I was calling about...] Turn the TV off. [NOT the TV! THE PRE-GAME SHOW!] Write a note. If I can't understand you, you can't understand me. [WTF?!]" Called the insurance office to see how much it was: $375!

I also got banned from R/Relationship_Advice for literally telling a guy that he was scum since his comment was "My girlfriend got raped and I'm having a hard time with it because I would have been her first if her ex hadn't done that." Fuck that! YOU ARE A SCUMBAG AND A SCUMBUCKET! Then someone on Youtube tried telling me how an insistence on proper spelling and grammar could be ableist and classist - HA HA HA! I don't excuse it EVER unless you are a kid just learning how things work. The Canucks played Boston today at 4, and lost 4-0. I showered today.

From Julie and Anorak UK: KidsExchange?! Master Bait and Tackle?!

I about had a heart attack when some lady pointed towards my waist and said, "Looks like your caulk is falling out."

From Mikey in the V4F Discord server: When there are too many new genders and you want to be clear: DICK OWNER!

Managed to get removal for hearing at the nearby medical clinic at 10 AM - I knew something was wrong if I couldn't hear the new microwave beep when it finished! I got home at 10:30 after seeing Dr. Chong, which isn't too bad.

From Reddit on December 28, 2018: No, DontEatMyHotDog, we do NOT put someone's toothpaste on their toothbrush FOR them unless they physically can't do it. I'm sure he can do it himself, and it only saves five seconds! Also, nobody needs the condescending "exactly" at the end!

Since I was up at 8:20 AM, it was COFFEE TIME BY DEFAULT! Later, Lucas thought that I was bullying Maddie because I've taken to using the word "sriracha" around her since her Discord screen name is "Maddie the Jirachi." Not my fault that they sound similar! They're both special snowflake teenagers! So then he banned me from his Discord server partly because he thinks that my bringing up the age difference is "pretentious" - hey, it's definitely not my fault that their 18-year-old brains haven't fully developed yet! Later, Alexandra FINALLY broke up with him for not telling her what was going on with him, and I let her know that he seemed controlling and narcissistic as well. I showered tonight.

From FreeThought Blogs on May 30, 2017: "How many intersections can you cram in one feminist? Trans, queer, leather girl, poly, sex-positive, survivor, political anarchist, and of course, atheist." THOSE ARE NOT INTERSECTIONS! I see no street signs or traffic lights in that description!

From Affinity Magazine on April 17, 2017: Misgendering transgender people is NOT violence or psychological abuse! Just ask the people who endure(d) REAL violence or psychological abuse!

From Janina: Sleeping in could easily be my superpower, if not for my arch-nemesis, having to pee.

From Engrish.com and Library of Most Controversial Files: Good news! A religion-free DVD player!

Cyan, Sabin, and Gau encounter this FINAL FANTASY VI dancer in Nikeah. She propositions them, and Cyan has this to say: "How dare you?! Licentious howler! Off... off with thee!" HAHAHAHA!
