1: this makes me want to travel 2,000 miles to stick every googly eye I have on every statue I can find

B- 1500 DOLLARS????? For SEVEN STATUES

Someone is ripping the city off, or someone in the office is stealing because that's like... 5 minutes at each statue. 6 if you want to make sure no sticky residue is left.

Even when nobody mentions you, you still show up to let everyone know...

My wife is super bad at not volunteering information.

She's partially deaf and a few other issues that make phone conversations hard, so she often asks me to sit in and listen to explain anything she didn't catch, and make sure she heard everything correctly.

I'm often making the neck cut "stop talking/mute mic" motion to get her to stop saying things the other people don't need to hear.

For instance, she quit a previous job over an employee basically stalking her while she was on the property, and screaming in her face over any imagined sleight. This employee was a problem with others as well, but who you know is more important than how you work in some places so nothing was ever done.

The other places she interviews with don't need the whole back story of why she quit. "Safety concerns" is completely correct, and leaves out the possibility that the new job might think you don't work well with others. She does. The other guy didn't.

So every time she starts telling the potential employer about it, I cut her off to remind her of that.

I'm very much the "ALL my information is need to know and you don't need to know" kind of person when it comes to things like that, and she just kind of vomits words all over the place when she feels uncomfortable.

A person can dream.

I live just outside a no-fly zone around an airport. Maybe a mile away, slightly under.

I never take my drone above the trees unless I'm away from home because I'm paranoid about anything going wrong and my drone just taking off in one direction until it dies or hits something.

I'd rather be extra cautious and be lightly mocked than cause the airport to shut down and have the alphabet boys knocking on/down my door.

Especially since I live close enough to a military base that my drone could theoretically reach it in a flyaway, if winds are helping it along.

Note: I have been lucky enough that in four years, I have never lost contact with my drone, but the paranoia remains.

The sentence that was handed down based on the evidence should be served by the fabricators. And because punishment for the poors is extremely disproportionate (snatching $20 from a counter is not deserving of a year in prison) I say add 20% to the sentence, minimum.

Make them serve 18 years, minimum. Of course, their choices are solitary for their protection or Gen-pop.

I was out of shape, I got in shape, I fell out of shape, I got back in shape, and now I'm mostly out of shape with a stable weight above average but not obese.

I never felt this "better" thing people keep talking about.

I'm glad it works for some people, but it hasn't worked for me.
