Someone should be reprimanded for allowing Tony Brothers to officiate an elimination NBA finals game. I think he called the game fairly evenly both ways, but holy hell, he really made his presence known last night. I was surprised the teams were still trotting out starters in the second half, figured they’d have all fouled out by then. Nothing like taking a series that got more exciting with each game and stomping the life out of it, bravo Tony, you’ve done it again.
What country are you in? I’m in the UK and use an app called Cat In a Flat. Had one bad experience, but then found a gem of a sitter.
We’re in the US. I picked the best-reviewed one on the entire Rover app in my area and still had issues. Looking back on the week, we didn’t totally trust her from day 1 and, because of that, never could relax on our vacation. From now on I think we’ll just have neighbors check in on them everyday when we go somewhere.

Hi Emily, Here’s the invoice, Thank you, Jane*
Hi Jane, could you take another look at June? It’s not adding up for me. Emily
Hi Em, Sorry about that, does this one look better?
Why yes, Jane, it DOES look better not to have June’s bill accidentally/carelessly DOUBLED.
Who is Jane, you may all wonder? She’s the person who manages my patient billing, for which service she’s just billed me incorrectly. And this is not the first such incident. But her (very competent) boss is doing me a favor by keeping me on his rolls given the size of my practice, so I just bitch. Also, I like Jane, who is like an ADHD puppy of well-meaning earnestness. Which is undoubtedly the reason her boss keeps her on.

This made me chuckle. (is that allowed since this is the wrong thread for that?..)
When your parent whom you caught cheating a year ago and who never apologized for how poorly they treated you growing up has the audacity to not only pretend nothing ever happened but also to bother you about seeing them for the holidays. Yeah, not at the top of my list. Usually would complain to my best friend about this, but I’m sparing her this time.
Incompetence paired with a nasty disposition and an unwillingness to admit wrongdoing is a horrible thing to deal with, and most of us have dealt with just that, but incompetence paired with a sunny disposition and an immediate willingness to make amends is downright infuriating.

I don’t know your parents and don’t want to make assumptions about them as people, but what you described is a really dick move
Funny, but I can’t say I get that impression from what I’ve written. Certainly adding “on X parent” would clarify things, I suppose.
Whatever assumption you may have about this particular parent more than likely holds true

In an effort to save cash on batteries for kids toys, I reckon I have spent 3x as much on rechargeables as I ever would have on regular batteries…

Different timezones and needing new overseas remote workers because I can’t find local talent with the same experience levels and tech skills/education level pisses me off. My sleep pattern’s all fucked up. I’m gonna become a flat earther.

I don’t know exactly where flat earthers lie on a scale from perfectly sane to completely insane, but wherever they lie, they’re closer to perfectly sane than people who didn’t spend most of Spaceballs laughing, so don’t worry, you can’t get any crazier than you already are.

But come on, Spaceballs was lame. I really don’t understand how people found that movie funny. Maybe I would have found it funny watching it as a kid but I watched it as an adult and couldn’t find anything funny other than the 2 scenes I previously mentioned in the other thread.
And I didn’t find Young Frankenstein funny either. Not even Blazing Saddles.

I dunno what you mean by ‘lame’, but it was definitely a bunch of non-stop Mel Brooks jokes, for sure.
But the Spaceballs the movie part
the flamethrower part
everything with dark helmet
the jammed part
the combing the desert part
the schwartz part
the planet of the apes part
Prince Valium
it just goes on and on.
But yes, I grew up with it. I can recite every single line in it. However, I WAS just teasing you - you can like whatever movie you want and hate whatever movie you want too, I’m not actually claiming this stuff is objective. I also love Blazing Saddles.
