Took my boy for his annual check up at the doctor's office and discovered he's got pneumonia. Now he's gotta take amoxicillin for 10 days. Good thing I scheduled him for this visit because I thought it was a mild case of the flu due to his cough.

@der:
You are a good father. I am stupidly suspicious of doctors, ALL of them, and yet I remind myself to be human when I read stories such as yours.
Believe me, this was purely coincidental
My son likes to tell me that he hates me sometimes but this is usually when he doesn't get what he wants, or when I turn into the drill sergeant dad and tell him to do a good job brushing his teeth or wiping his ass. -
Strange weather we're having on the east coast.

Brilliant:
A Japanese rail company has apologised after a train left a station 25 seconds early, the second such case in months.

Have never heard of 'snus' before. According to google:
"a type of moist powdered tobacco, typically held in the mouth between the lips and gums" I'll stick to Benson & Hedges!
Snus is a HUGE Scandinavian thing. Quite popular in Sweden, and even female tobacco users enjoy Snus. It is quite commonplace for people to use snus even in public and business settings from what I understand (@Neph93 correct me if I am wrong).
It varies greatly from the Americanized “Snuff” that contains much more chemicals, and more flavoring. Snus can be enjoyed much more discretely, and is much cleaner due to the way it is manufactured.

And it’s spit free! I pick some up periodically, when the mood strikes.

Yes, Swedish Snus is technically “spit free,” and the American tobacco companies have really taken this on with their spit free pouches - however, the few times I have tried traditional Swedish Snus, I would not swallow it… to each their own tho.
Culturally, it is quite different than cigarettes or cigars. Some people view the use of smokeless tobacco as “gross” or “uncivilized,” but some cultures view it as a less intrusive use of tobacco therefore making it more acceptable.
The snorting stuff is referred to as “Scotch Snuff” - and is quite weird...

@Appfaff is on the mark. It’s immensely popular and socially acceptable. You even see professional athletes using it. Although no one swallows Swedish snus. Also if you snorted snus you’d end up with a bad case of sinusitis. It would just stick in your nose.
The hardcore OG stuff is shredded tobacco mixed with salt and water. You make a little cake and stick it under your lip. It runs and will stain your teeth and is messy. I started on it about 17 years ago.
It’s been sanitised now though and comes in filter bags. You can also get “white” snus where the tobacco is treated so it doesn’t stain or run.
There’s been a lot of controversy about health effects and labelling. The big independent meta-studies have concluded that it doesn’t cause cancer, so in effect people using it instead of cigarettes is actually good for the public health. It does contain a lot of nicotine though so it’s highly addictive and stresses your ticker.
Snuff is tobacco as a very fine, dry powder. Delivers quite the kick if that’s your thing.

somebody should probably tell this guy that IHUK is getting the IHM-29 (in black) this Fall, and for less than his asking price of $860
