I thought Huntington got bought nearly 25 years ago. I had them in high school.

Pretty sure my mom is looking at a heart procedure. Not easy for someone who believes that any type of medication is the devil and blames all her current issues on past surgeries, C-sections and medications she's been on in the past. She's become anti-vax and anti-modern medicine over the past 10 years. Got hooked up with a chiropractor who wasn't smart enough to be a doctor so now she practices with older people who don't know any better. Basically believes anything can be fixed by light therapy and an absurd amount of supplements. I'm 99% certain any inheritance I had has been given to this chiro-hack, but that's another conversation. Not a good recipe when everyone in mom's family has had bypasses and multiple heart issues. Kind of inevitable in my opinion.
So we'll see how it goes. Currently trying to convince her that maybe for this, you give up your fear of modern medicine and let it prolong your life a bit for your grandkids.
Today just must be @sshole day! Seems like everyone is in a bad mood.

Why?! You're in freaking Arizona for crying out loud!
Back in the day there was a sporting goods store, strictly hunting and fishing, very near my house called the Sportsman's Den. Absolutely the best stuff and with a very knowledgeable staff. When the owner wanted to retire he tried to find someone to keep it going but no! It's now a carpet store!
If I interupt a call intended to bring me up to speed on something, and I give my understanding of whats going on in an attempt to shorten said call, don't tell me I've got it just to then go into the slow detail of what I just summarized in 5 seconds.
Reminds of some of the insufferable "sales" meetings we were forced to attend at my last job. They would hand out printed material and then proceed to read it to you! Seriously? I know how to read. If you're going to recite it to me why hand me print?

Im Not saying a$$hole day but Wife told me to come with Her to listen to Co Workers Daughter Sing at Veggie Day. Great Pipes, wide range. It was ALL Vegetarian...and deleted 5 lines of observations. Almost had a 50s Geezer Moment.
And before a "certain" member responds...Hush.

Tell me about it! We are overrun with feral cats and the idiot next door neighbor lady feeds them! I have to fence in my veggie garden so the cats don't use it as a litter box, but I still have to be careful walking around my yard to not step in cat s**t! I have a .22Cal pellet gun that is "sub minute of squirrel head" accurate, and could wipe these things out in a heartbeat! But the neighbor lady would probably get upset and call the city on me!
And the city is supposed to have some sort of feral cat "program", but I have seen no evidence of it. I'm really getting tired of this!
Hmmm, Paint Ball Guns would be fun. Each neighbor gets a different color. Of course I'm just fantasizing I'm not actually thinking about doing this
My wife’s flight out of New York got canceled.
Called the course whom says there is no one there.
Drive 50 minutes to get there.
4 carts on each hole with 10 carts waiting.
Not a hole visible without someone waiting to hit a shot.
Owner apologized and next round is free but that doesn't change the day.

59mins, Nope. Sorry happened to you.
I freaking hate mosquitoes. Have been outdoors a lot recently and now have about 30 mosquito bites on each foot, as well as a few dozen others on my legs and arms. Even have a few on my fingers and face. We have the black ones with whitish stripes and they suck.
Literally. Yea, Zebra Mosquitoes really do suck. One time road 4.5 hrs to a Motorcycle Rally for weekend Camping. Road thru field to pitch Tent and saw White specks floating up. Cool, Dandelions...No. While pitching Tent I finally saw what all the White Specs were, Zebra Mosquitoes. Packed back up and left. Mosquitoes seem to love me for breakfast lunch and dinner and snacks in between
I'm not angry (or maybe I am), but I'm just on the struggle bus. I wear multiple hats in my current job, but one of the big responsibilities is over invoicing. About 70-75% of weekly invoicing is to be done each Monday. The struggle is that while I'm trying like hell to stay focused and not make costly errors, there is a freaking circus going on inside the office building. Two different people currently on personal calls on SPEAKERPHONE, the boss' 6 year old daughter's speaking volume is currently stuck on a 4000 (out of 10) so she can hear herself over the maxed out volume of her ipad that nobody is watching, and two other employees are cutting it up like they were the only two in the building. It bothers me none that nobody else seems to have work to do, but I struggle so mightily to shut out all the chaos and concentrate on these numbers and I'm not allowed to shut my office door. I have in airpods in noise-cancellation mode and I can still hear them. Nothing can be done, or so I've been told, so I am just bitching to hear myself talk
What the hell, why can’t you close your office door?
Because "it's an office building and someone MIGHT come in to see me and not know I'm here." For reference, we aren't that kind of office so I can literally count on one hand the number of visits I've had at my office in the past 6 years.
Last year I was told that the fluorescent overheads needed to stay on in my office, no lamps in place of overhead lights, and the chaos/noise doesn't bother anyone else so if I "could try to act less autistic it would be great"
So sorry. I get it about Noise Canceling not working. I heard my Mother in Law for entire 10 hr drive...and two $100 speed camera Tickets cuz I NEEDED to get home.
Me being an Eye for an Eye, trying to figure something you can do to reciprocate with your Co Workers. Maybe call Social Security and be put on hold for 40min on Speaker Phone, or Insurance Co. Nothing like hearing Hold Music repeat.
If someone said that to me they’d be having some major problems.
Sorry you have to deal with an office full of asshats
Well that was a fun 12 hour work day
That has to be some sort of ADA violation. Or something else.
I'm sure it's something. One of the benefits of living and working in rural Oklahoma. We're only about 40 years behind.
Listen, I'm all for trying to be healthy and ****, but for f**k's sake, if you're going to walk around the office park during lunch, use the goddamn sidewalk and edges of the parking lot and not the middle of the drive lanes dipshits.
