  • I sing-spell their names to the tune of the “It’s raining, it’s pouring” song while spelling them in ASL, then finish with their name and my made-up name sign for each one. Lily (cat) is L rotated to a finger gun, Milo (cat) is the hang 10 sign, Cooper (dog) gets C rocked back and forth a few times, and Zoe (dog) gets her name air-written in cursive (with a few extra 'e’s to stretch it out).

    Nobody in my house, including myself, speaks (signs?) ASL. I just watched way, way too much Switched at Birth way back when. 😂

    Edited for clarity.


  • I ended a close friendship over bullshit like this. For a year, one friend was so deathly allergic that her doctor told her that under no circumstances was she to receive any Covid vaccine.

    Then, then-governor of Oregon Kate Brown required anyone in a Healthcare career to receive said vax. Wouldn’t you know it, this friend’s easy caretaking paycheck was about to end when she spontaneously rid herself of a life-threatening allergy.

    Get the fuck out of here. We’re done.


  • 2 16-oz cups of coffee with non-dairy creamer to start my day, followed by a pre-lunch SF Rockstar, followed by a post-lunch SF Rockstar, an occasional (1-2x weely) afternoon triple shot latte, finished with an occasional dinnertime 20oz Diet Pepsi… all interspersed with 22 sticks of nicotine.

    Might be ADHD, maybe narcolepsy. I still get 10 solid hours of sleep, so it clearly doesn’t interfere with that.
