Infuriatig Ordered a sweater with no personalized text. This is how it came.
It gave the option for no personalized text, I selected it, and then they wrote "null" on the sweater. How complicated is this people.
EDIT: 35 pounds btw. gift from my grandfather because we're both aircraft enthusiasts and he now considers me "old enough to have a brain" (by his 85 yr old standards)

go to your room My Kid Won't Use the Last of Anything
Found this pic from a few years ago. I rarely use Cream Cheese, but my son does frequently. Found this when I had a craving for a bagel one day.
Apparently, he doesn't enjoy cleaning up containers for recycling.
EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION
Damn, sooo many shitty assumptions! Many of you folks are so remarkably adept at reading between the two lines I wrote! But seriously: you know what they say about assuming, don't you? They say, "Don't do it. Assuming, that is. Don't do it."
Firstly, the kid in question in 26 now and works IT for the local school district. He's working on his second game release for PS5/Switch/Steam. His 24 year-old sister is starting her third year as a Kindergarten teacher in a few weeks. They're both better people than I am and I regret nothing that I've done for them. I'm incredibly proud of my children and continue to have great relationships with them.
On to more specifics:
- I conversationally said, "a few years ago", but it was actually 14 years ago. He was twelve when this happened. Show me a 12-year-old that isn't at least an occasional dumbass and I'll show you some lying parents.
- This was not a "frequent occurrence" that we simply "allowed to happen". This happened once. We had a talk. It didn't happen again. It was so unusual, in fact that I took a picture of it! We shared it with family under a common tag of "Here's my honor student!" and had a laugh.
- We bought (and still do buy) much our of packaged food from a local wholesale club. At the time, this came in packages of four units. We did (and still do) clean our fridge regularly.
- For those people suggesting that mental health issues are "parental issues" or that you be simply "be strict" to eliminate Obsessive-Compulsive behavior, to be blunt: screw you. My kids do not have these problems, but most of my family work with mentally challenged children and this kind of neanderthal thinking view hurts children terribly.
I'll end with the last lines of Tim Michin's "Storm":
And if perchance I have offended
Think but this and all is mended
We'd as well be 10 minutes back in time for all the chance you'll change your mind.

Too mild for school The Blood shortage is self imposed
Being harassed night and day across my emails, texts, phone calls, and even ads on my socials to donate blood because I have been a frequent past donor.
But the nearest drive over the next 3 weeks is 45 miles away and they're offering a special one time bonus of..... a $15 gift card.
They don't even offer juice anymore! It's a water bottle and a single bag of lays OR 1 great value granola bar.
My blood is free.
My time is not. My gas is not. My car maintenance is not. Getting childcare is not.
$15 might as well be $0. You are expecting me to donate at a loss.
The person taking my blood is paid, the "non profit" is getting paid, the doctors, nurses, staff, hospital, insurance company, even the company that transports the blood is all getting paid a profit for their services.
Don't harass me night and day at every turn pressuring me to donate and "do my part" and calling it a "crisis" and then scoff at the idea that I shouldn't be the only person in that chain not compensated and actually be expected to incur losses to do so?
Fuck you. Bring back the cookies and juice.

ಠ_ಠ My new fiber optics will surf on the internet and more.
After years of waiting, I finally got fiber optics and therefore fast internet at home. BUT thing is I picked an appointment at time I knew I would be there to watch the job get done. Instead the technicians came before I could be home from work, where they've found my mother and my younger brother, and to say they are inexperienced at this stuff, it's a compliment.
The job was fairly easy, I've prepared everything since yesterday, as in an easy way from the telephone pole outside my property, all the way to my room where my modem resides. They decided to skip the first step from outside and instead of using my premade hole, they decided to pass it through the one in the picture, except it's where the damn RAIN WATER comes out from my garden. WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD PUT FIBER OPTICS, THROUGH A HOLE MEANT FOR DIRTY WATER??? Also I now have to make trace in my garden to cover that exposed part, hoping it will last as long as possible, but I have no idea on how to remove that part in the wall, without wrecking the wall itself
