listening to people that i have known forever develop the new accents from where they moved to is funny to me. A cousin is speaking full on Australian g’day and all now, just cracks me up, after 20 years she cant even speak ‘merican anymore. i notice my syntax changes when i am working with...

you said you feel bad after this event, nothing wrong with that, I generally do too when I get into crap like this. I do better when I accept a pragmatic approach to things, I am still working on that. In this case whats the objective, bottom line, final sentence view of the whole thing? the guy...

I am not going to defend men in general. As a good man with strong feelings of remorse for any hurtful things I have done to any person it is hard for me to be associated with the dickheads, and it would be very unfair for me to defend men in general and put the good men in any group with the...

had big plans for a rainy weekend to be spent cleaning a cluttered shop and hauling away the metal scrap for recycle, nope, rotator cuff sprain that put me in a chair in front of a PC cleaning up loose ends on some legal papers that needed attention. Shoulder is better and i feel like i did...

rural part of a pacific Northwest state here. I used to be a volunteer first responder and we saw “amateur night” dui wrecks maybe every other year out here. Nowadays it is more of a celebration of a paid day off and the ability to get some sleep hopefully

religious narcissists have a special place in hell if there is one. Accepting that i was a scapegoat and not the things i was accused of being by my parents has been tough, the brainwashing they employed to try to convert me to their cult was pretty well conceived by their cult leaders and i...

i drive by what is likely the oldest building within 50 miles every day and have for years, never stopped. it is approaching 200 years old, an old military fort from the days before any real anglo presence. Its America, our stuff isnt that old and doesnt get much attention.

92. especially as a percentage, as in 92%. It has become commonly used as a throwaway number to be used in place of an actual number when the speaker is trying to convey a high percentage but not the easily disputed 100% that conveys an absolute. It seems to be just below the threshold that puts...

atmospheric river. atmospheric river. at moss fear ick reevir. I dont remember the first time i heard this term but i remember living here in the northwest corner of the US for a long time without hearing it. the weather is the same but heavy continuous rain isnt called heavy continuous rain...

allowing things to reoccur when i could have stopped them

this hangs in my music room, not sure what inspiration is drawn from it. Not much really since I seldom look at it. I guess it is a reminder of what could have been if these people had allowed themselves a shot at life without so many chemicals? They all did something to earn a place in this...

right there with you on the whole thing, the slow burn, the additional bad behaviour including the undue threats of retaliation, full on had enough response to all of the above and then the finality of full withdrawal and personal introspection about the whole arc. I found a really neat little...
