Bobcats are really odd looking to see just out randomly.
Your brain goes “oh another random stray cat” then it catches up that the thing is huge for a cat and its stance is strong / ready not “pstpstpstpst” meow meow

My youngest has peanut allergies and I still think this way. There must be something in the environment during gestation, because the older two can swim in swampland while eating dirt with 3 month old animal corpses in it and be just fine, it just happens with the latest batch of kids. And we live on peanut butter here
She used to be allergic to dog spit, but that went away, so I was thinking of micro dosing her with peanuts and working up until her body gets used to it. Sounds terrible, but it's a thing some allergists are warming up to.
Our histamine system was designed to fight parasites and it only causes allergies because it's got nothing else to do. Give your kid worms to teach the histamine system what it's supposed to do.

Years ago I had to relearn how to do basic math because of how it was taught to my daughter so I could help her. Here we are many years later and it is still the dumbest shit, now that she is older I showed her how we were taught and she said that is so much easier. Inferior system of fucking grouping using squares and lines...the fuck were they thinking.

Went through this many years ago with my daughter over handwriting and the new way to form letters. I’m convinced it was merely a way to drive a wedge between her and me; her teacher was right and her mom and I were wrong.

take mom to er, they think it is sciatica. go to cvs get meds. look at the bottle, see enclosed paper for instructions, 15 pills. go to mom's and read instructions, take 2 pills 3 times a day for 5 days. it is a very short drive to cvs, so go back ask pharmacist about it. he says, "that is what the prescription called for, someone can't do math"

Best part, if it's a controlled substance you'll need a new script.
When I still lived in SC, right before back surgery #3, I was taking 4 -15mg oxycodone's a day. That was the script. I picked it up one day and got home to see it looked really low. Counted them out and it was short like 50. I go back to CVS and they say they will do an inventory. I feel like an ass drug seeking junkie but it turned out they did short me.

Weird. I would assume whoever shorted you had stolen the extras. Maybe they were going to take the extras at the end of the shift.

scheduled for mri tomorrow.
when i had one done couple of years ago, the hospital "forgot" to submit anything to insurance to get approval. they didn't call or say anything about it not being approved, so a week after having it done got a letter saying it was declined. many hours on the phone with both ended up with the hospital eating almost the whole bill as was against their policy.
on the 5th of this month, hospital sent me estimate and other info for the mri. was looking it over, fine print, estimate not based on my insurance but just what my insurance company normally pays. call, get transferred 4 times, woman figures out it is still pending and they will call at 3:30 if needs to rescheduled.

Summer movie trailers... More Spiderman. I grew up with Spiderman. Many here can identify with the original Stan Lee character. Teenage, brilliant, loss, lonely, powerful, free yet confined.
What's coming up seems to be a hot mess of ensemble cast and more "expansion" of the Marvel Universe.
Spiderman works because he is alone in a contracted universe with personal stakes and personal loss and a profound sense of humanity. The first film's message "With great power comes great responsibility" pretty much sums him up. Victory or tragedy determined by choice/responsibility.
WHY blow his universe UP? Condense it down to Peter and characters. The films sometimes get it right SOME of the time (the Doc Ock/Peter relationship). But (as Kahn from Star Trek II would say, "they keep missing the target.")
God-damn it that I have to hope for another life for my boyhood Spiderman. Instead, the film will just be a marketing launch point for Marvel stories and cross-characters and expanded stories/universes, etc.
Keep Peter as his simple (and so complicated) self. This looks like a hot mess:
PS-- does this bring tears to anyone else (non-sequitur, but not completely): (especially with its "deep reference" to their first meeting/dinner together-- Peter Parker, brilliant but lazy. "I'll try to do better."
PLEASE get Spidey right just once...
and, of course, it's okay to keep the super-hot female admirers that Peter will never have or know!

Went to Target this morning at 8am when they open because I was on the way to work and needed some cold medicine. I always heard about loser adults waiting for Pokemon cards and scoop them all up. I saw it first hand this morning as I had to wait behind them all to pay for my shit. Any male over 18 who camps out for Pokemon cards is a fucking loser.

This topic came up in general chatter before I started a training session today. One guy talked about his son, who was 16, who had discovered flipping pokemon cards for cash. Who never played the game, never watched the cartoon, doesn't know Pokemon from shit. But told him "Dad, I heard about this and started doing it. The first day it was $40, and I flipped those for almost $80. I worked up and now I drop around $250 any day I can get them and almost always double up"
The kid doesn't even understand/like card games... But he understands/likes money.

The whole thing has the makings of an overhyped Tulip-mania. At some point all these people will be bag holders and good riddance to them all. I can't fault a 16 year old much, but there is zero way these loser 18+ guys wouldn't make more getting a real job.

This guy was telling us how his son learned the basics from a guy in his 30's doing it...
And I agree, it will be a bubble, it will pop. So long as the kid is pocketing profits along the way he won't get hit too hard. It's the people who believe in continual doubling down thinking they're going to earn exponential dollars. Those people will get crushed.

i never played any of the collectable card games, but liked watching channels like alpha investments. the pokemon stuff has been going on for so long and apparently on avg they can make great money for the time invested.
didn't have any luck finding the clip, but on caleb's financial audit had a guy that went on a bad run where he didn't get any big hits and one month lost like $8k. think he was making $2k per month.
did find this clip, at the start guy talks about how someone put a tracker on the vehicle of the woman that restocked the pokemon cards.

I probably said this before. But I once had an ultrasound done at the local hospital. I have a high deductible plan so I paid for the entire thing before the procedure. A few weeks later they tried to collect 'the rest of the money' from me because the insurance said I owed more. Got to looking into it and figured out they mis coded it and called it an emergency x ray. It was neither an emergency nor an X ray. What pissed me off the most was that neither the insurance company nor the hospital gave a fuck. The insurance company told me there was no way to fix it and the hospital said they weren't going to. Prior to that I always looked at my EOB statements to make sure they were correct. Now there's no point. That shit all goes straight in the trash. I filed a complaint with some state agency but if anything ever came of it, nobody told me.
So yeah I guess if I ever need something like that again I'll look for an independent center. I'm thinking of getting a life alert bracelet with a message to not take me to that hospital under any circumstances. That place actually has the highest mortality rate of any hospital in our region and it's not because they specialize in something especially deadly. I think they specialize in insurance fraud and unnecessary procedures.
