Son had a longer dental appointment to get some fillings and his molars sealed. He started getting mega antsy halfway through and I had to restrain myself from getting in the dentists way to try and help (they are professionals he's not their first antsy 6 year old). God I hate seeing him in pain and not able to do anything.
When my autistic 4 year old had to get a catheter to check if he had a urinary tract infection he screamed so hard he almost passed out and when he looked me in the eyes and begged us to stop I had a panic attack!
Those parental instincts are real hard to subvert.
You'res is a million times worse than mine I'm sorry you went through that. Closest thing I had to your situation was when my son was really young and had to get shots and I had to hold him and he didn't realize until the shot hit why and then he looked at me like the greatest betrayer ever.
When Jaina had her second set of ear tubes put in, I had to hold her for the anesthesia. The screaming and crying followed by her going limp still gives me nightmares.
You know whats great is getting an insufficient funds message at four in the morning and then a $35 overdraft fee for the rent I paid two days prior. This is after my landlord raised my rent $300 and I had to pay my overdue light bill. I hate Wells Fargo and wish nothing but the worst for everyone that works for them. There is a special pit in hell for the whole lot.
my petty complaint is that this comment is like, over two weeks old and I know it is socially frowned upon to reply to comments that old, but - seriously, please, to you and everyone else in this here forum, or on this here internet, if you have LITERALLY ANY OTHER CHOICE, do not bank with Wells Fargo. just don't. they are not good people. their policies are awful, they don't treat their employees well, they perpetuated a ton of very questionable banking decisions during the period of COVID stimulus checks and child tax credit payments that left many low income people just absolutely financially fucked, and they are moving to re-implement right of setoff/offset in collections where they will pull funds from any deposit account with funds they can find in their system with your name on it if you have an overdrawn account with them (so for instance, if I overdrew my own personal account, they could go in and pull the funds from my shared account with my partner). they process debits from largest to smallest, before processing credits, regardless of what their policy is. there's also the whole, fraudulently opening accounts in their customers names thing that they got sued for a while back, but everything I mentioned above is very much a current issue. apparently they've recently also been caught staging fake interviews with minorities for positions that have already been filled, a policy that they stopped for a while but are reimplementing starting tomorrow
if you absolutely have to have a national bank, I sound like a shill, but Chase would be what I recommend, even after they fired my partner with no warning, I would still recommend them a thousand times over and above Wells Fargo
anyway in non-banking-rant petty complaints, I'm pretty sure the kids around here don't go back to school until after our apartment complex pool is closed for the year, despite it still being hot as hell into September, and I really wish they would so I could use the pool
We have a pretty nice thrift store here run by/supporting the humane society. I like it a lot, and have picked up tons of kiddo clothes for like $1 each there over the years.
It's juuuust about time I'm going to have to go through their adult clothes section for her now, though. Which, on top of costing more leads into my actual complaint: for some unfathomable reason, they sort women's clothes by color rather than size. And the women's clothes area is extensive.
Every clerk I've asked about it doesn't understand why they do it either and is thankful they don't work in that section.
Reminds me of:
Please don't post shock images. There are librarians on here.

I would like some author to write a ten-book series where the titles are in alphabetical order and the spines form a color spectrum when they're all on the shelf together. That would be neat.

we created a series that had titles that could go in alphabetical order

and were slightly different heights that created a gradient when put in in-world chronological order

I am in my mid 30's and I don't usually go in for the whole damn I am so old thing. I don't really feel that much older than in my 20's, at least not usually. Nothing hurts regularly, I don't have terrible pain if I sleep funny, none of that really.
But the other day I was sitting in a chair, with my legs stretched out in front of me on the couch, with my ankles crossed. After some indeterminate amount of time of sitting like this I stood up to go to the bathroom. Almost immediately my penis and scrotum felt really weird. Almost like there was dirt or some kind of irritant in my underwear. After checking to make sure that wasn't the case it dawned on me what had actually happened: I put my junk to sleep and now I was feeling pins and needles.
I slept in an odd position. I woke up eight or nine hours ago and my neck hurts more now than it did earlier. What the hell
There is something fucked up with my left lateral shoulder and I don't know if it was because of how I slept or lifted that day, but if I move it just like this it hurts a lot.

Pins and needles crotch is the worst. The panicked “Oh god why cant i feel it?!” Followed by the pained “oh god i feel it way too much!”

I have not read them, but Sue Grafton wrote a 26 book long murder mystery series that followed the alphabet.
"A" is for Alibi
"B" is for Burgler
"C" is for Corpse
and so on. My favorite, though, is "X". Not, "X" is for Xylophone or anything else. Just "X".

The most frustrating thing about Sue Grafton is that she lived long enough to cop out on "X" and then died before finishing the alphabet.

I don't know why i'm so surprised about this, I guess it somehow seemed like Sue Grafton books were a constant of the universe. There will always be entropy, we will never move faster than light, and every couple of years will bring out a new Kinsey Millhone alphabet book.
(My mother also had a bunch of them, I think I read up to G. Maybe K. They have oddly unmemorable plots. 25 years later I still have vivid images of some of the bit characters she describes who are barely on the page for more than a paragraph, and yet I cannot recall a single component or resolution of any of the central crimes/mysteries. I think it's because half the time the main character doesn't give a shit about them either).

It's really a shame, too. I don't know why you'd even start writing a 26-book cycle of alphabet mystery novels if you weren't planning "I is for Innocent" to be an extended flashback showing that the detective convicted the wrong suspect in "E is for Evidence."
I will say it takes a certain grim commitment to realism to spend 30% of your book's pagecount describing your PI character filing paperwork and conducting database searches, but when I think of it as the product of an inspirational muse it all seems a bit post-modern.
Turns out the 60 days notice to vacate only applies if you're at the natural end of your lease and not if you break it early.
Breaking it early comes with a one month penalty. That means I have to pay almost $3000 on the first of the month. Obviously I do not have $3000 so I, being a grown ass adult nearing his 30s, with a full time and a part time job, am having to ask mommy for half. It's fucking kicking the teeth in of what little pride I had left. Of course I can pay her back less than week later but it still raises the problem of my having not yet found a place to stay. My plan was to use my second paycheck of the month (Sept 7th) to secure the application of a new place. But now that's going to pay my mom back. Which means my last paycheck in September will probably go towards trying to get a new place as quickly as possible so I can move out on the 30th and maybe into something on the first or second.
This basically means I will be paying rent three fucking times in one month.

Little known fact is that "Sue Grafton" is a pen name; the books were actually written by an experimental AI and only published as part of a Turing test.
It has been a bit of a wake up call I guess. Basically if the only thing in a price range that will let me have some savings is a fucking former methlab then I guess I'm moving into a former methlab. It's 2022 baby, you don't get luxuries like a dishwasher or a roof with no holes in it unless you're born into a family of oil tycoons.

Do NOT pay them. Let them come after it if they want it so much. Chances are you'll get 2 threatening phone calls and that's it
This same company put a lein on my credit score the last time I moved out of an apartment they owned because nobody told me I had to pay back a $250 discount they gave me when I signed the lease.

"C is for Chekhov's Gun" but it doesn't go off until "E is for Explosion"
And "F is for Foreshadowing" doesn't have a murder at all, just details that come up again in "P is for Payoff"

It's weird that they released so few copies of "M is for MacGuffin", it's almost impossible to find these days.
Ugh, my wife and I were supposed to join some friends for a 4 day stay at a cabin by a river today, but the farrier that we use to trim our pig's hooves and tusks texted my wife yesterday that she was coming late today. She can't reschedule because she travels constantly and won't be back in this part of Texas for like, 6 months or something, and she's got other places scheduled for tomorrow and so on. Our pigs need their hooves trimmed pretty badly so we can't leave until she gets here. We were supposed to leave at 8am, and it is now 4:20pm and she's still not here. It's a 3 hour drive to the cabin, so at this point we might not even go until tomorrow. Ugggghhhhhh
What also sucks is that she's normally really good about her scheduling, it's just that this time some technical issues made it so that she didn't see that we had put in our request for a spot for when she came to this area so it really was last minute on her part once my wife asked her about when she'd be here. So it's not really even her fault, so I can't even bitch at her about it (not that I would, she's super sweet and does a great job on our piggies)
