Racism. I've never thought this would be over in the next couple of hundred years.
Bullying. When there are big boned and small boned babies, there would be differences among them that sooner or later lead to discrimination. Maybe the current law has not been really lawful just yet. :D

That was "https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/pf-random-thoughts.338126/page-469#post-3324716 " that you warned me not to google.lisab said:
I warned everyone, not to google "Santorum".
ps. It took me 10 minutes of googling to figure that out. Btw, have I ever mentioned, that I love you?
pps. Never mind. I just googled it. The answer is 33.
ppps. I apparently like other people also, so don't let this go to your head. ;P

You and Lisab have opened my eyes to several things in the last few days, on your behalf (and mine) and to get Danger all worked up, here's a song I'm sure she has heard
:DLisab, if you can get medicare to accept bills from a staff: mentor, I might could use some internet guidance

As much as the first 2/3's are revolting, that's actually a good song because of the moral: he realizes the error of his religious ways and becomes a better person with an actual sex-life.RonL said:

It's only boring and easy if I have the job, It would be far too "exciting" & "challenging" if I didn't have the job...first world problem. Also my socioeconomic status is half empty :(Danger said:

Sorry... something my mother used to say. It think that it came from Shakespeare or an Aesop fable or similar. "A dog in the manger scratches his fleas; a dog who hunts doesn't notice them." It's like some people telling their kids to eat what's on their plates because children in Africa are starving—a reference to being dissatisfied even though well-off compared to others.nitsuj said:

I don't know what the native speakers think about the odd saying. It doesn't make sense at all to all non-natives

It's really annoying that we are so dependent on technology!

I understand it completely. All poor kids need more love and food from the rich. So wealthy kids in First World countries need to shut up, stop moaning for food and money from their parents!

Apparently not. It was simply a gentle poke at Nitsuj for grouching about what some manual labourers would think of as a cushy job.Medicol said:

I took a State Motor Vehicle Department form into my family doctors office today. It is a form needed to get a temporary disabled plate for my car. My wife broke her right ankle in early November and also has arthritis in her left knee.
The receptionist handed me a nice blue form and told me to fill in my wife's personal information on the form and write exactly what I wanted the doctor to do with the MVD form. I wrote on the form; "All he has to do is sign the blasted thing." The receptionist then told me it may be several days before the form is ready.
The doctor is aware of my wife's situation because he had to sign a Medicare form to get my wife a walker before she left the hospital after surgery. I really didn't want a walker because I knew that she couldn't use it with problems in both legs, but the hospital according to their assessment of my wife's condition had already given her a walker. (are we confused yet) The family doctor also had to sign a Medicare form to get a physical therapist to come to the house.
I had to immediately go out and buy a wheel chair because Medicare will only provide one assistance device. (which is the walker I now hang clothes on) Being the care giver to a woman who could not stand up and was on Vicodin was really difficult for the first week. Bed side potty detail was a not a fun experience. Luckily I have probably pooped in the woods more than the average person giving me a slight advantage over a novice potty handler.
Now the physical therapist has told us that he can't give my wife any physical therapy until either the arthritis in her knee improves enough so that she can use the walker or she gets the cast removed and can wear a boot that will allow her to put some weight on the foot with the broken ankle.
We got the cast removed last week and the orthopedic surgeon said that the bone has not healed enough yet for a boot so they put on another cast for four more weeks.
I have a severe problem with my right knee. I wear a brace and get injections every six months by an orthopedic surgeon. I was due for another injection so I called the orthopedic surgeon's office to schedule it in and the receptionist told me that the doctor no longer takes Medicare patients. I pay $220 a month for a Medicare supplemental policy that picks up every thing that Medicare doesn't pay for. But the doctor no longer takes Medicare.!
Today when I went to our family doctors office to try to get the MVD form signed I told the receptionist that I also needed a referral to a new orthopedic specialist. She handed me another nice blue form and told me to write on the form exactly what I wanted done in regards to a referral to another doctor who will take Medicare.
Luckily I can come to PF and banter with wonderful people. It really does help with the cabin fever. To be honest that Up For Auction Thread I started was for my own entertainment as much as anything.

Someone, threw trash bags, full of, obviously, trash, in front of my house last week.
My OCD did not kick in, until today...
I threw all of the uneaten, rotten food, into the street.
And yes, I wore rubber gloves, and let my nearly 60 year old, full moon, Minion inspired, Walmart wannabe, BUTT!, stick out into traffic, as the elastic on my 10 year old sweatpants, would not hold them up.
The bags are gone, but, my neighbors, are all driving really slowly past my front yard...
Do not, mess with the Om....
I may be senile, but I have all the time in the world now, to figure out, casually, how to kill you...

I think there's a grey line between being senile, and just not giving a sh*t anymore. :D
