I had to go to the social security office today for an appt with my wife. Drove and and hour there and back. Wife realized when we got home she left her phone. So we drove another hour there and back. I just got home. To my credit, I was nice the whole time and didn't make one comment. She felt awful enough.

For our UK friends, Social Security is the US version of the DWP there, but they cover all sorts of personal data issues.

@northsouthdenimguy I had the same issue with fedex. Said they attempted delivery and never did. I asked them to hold it at the distribution center so I could pick it up. Went there and they said it was out for delivery but they told me to call customer service and the guy read off the website tracking information. Then it got delivered at about 9pm the next day. I feel your pain haha

Probably my biggest apolitical rant of the modern world:
Headlights and every-other-bastard's exterior residential lights have gone too far. Shit is fully mental now. When I am king, lumen limits and light-shielding requirements will be strictly enforced.

As king, I’m going to have a go at all vehicle horns. Planning a tiered, progressively higher, excise charge for those annoying honks.

@Matt I hated this when stopped at a light, I would try to angle my mirrors so it reflected back at the driver behind me, mostly gigantic trucks.

@Chap I can see why she pushed herself but this is devastating. I hope she’s ok.

Yeah of course, would have been the most brilliant end of her career…

@sabergirl this. Plus, the actual winner Breezy Johnson and the two medalists Emma Aicher and Sofia Goggia are relegated to an afterthought and don't get the acclaim and attention they deserve.

I used him as an info source when looking for a new leather jacket, but when he started going into who should and shouldn’t be wearing certain styles he totally lost me forever. It came off as “I’m the ultimate authority for everyone about everything,” and to me, that attitude means I shouldn’t trust you about anything.
It’s like the guys at work who tell me how long they’ve been doing this job within 30 seconds of meeting me. I immediately don’t trust you.

@ZackB I note a man of sophistication in that Saints pic! Are you a New Orleans resident?


... she should not have done it with a ruptured cruciate ligament...
