Sun trust is merging with BB&T. They will be called Truist.

I thought that was BB&B for a second...

I thought "Bed Bath & Beyond?".

We've had 9 or 10 scam calls claiming to be Apple today. If anyone has an eardrum piercing whistle and too much spare time you can call (208) 262-0000. Fuckers.

That number probably belongs to an innocent person whose phone number is being spoofed.

Actually that’s the one the scammers tell you to call immediately. I didn’t jot down the likely spoofed number. If you google the number it seems to be used repeatedly for the same scam. You’d think Apple would have some recourse even if humans don’t.

Apple don't care, the more times the name is going in someone's ear the better. You heard it a bunch of times today but you know you shouldn't be pissed at apple.
If I don't know who it is I don't answer. If it's important they'll leave a message.

What's scorching my groove?

The Tunguska Crater: Humans could not have made that with technology available in 1908.


The whole thing is silly, and obviously a cover up of some kind is going on.

If it happened today Putin would blame the West, but we are full up with conspiracy theories we don't need another.

Somebody want to calculate the odds of a modern occurrence hitting a populated area?

I was reading an article about that big ass meteor that hit the Caribbean and the killed the dinosaurs, and they mentioned another pretty big meteor that hit Chesapeake Bay.

Wasn't there something about meteors never strike twice... no, wait, that's lightning.

Minifob got an orthodontic appliance installed yesterday. Today, Minifobette is having two stubborn baby teeth removed, then Minifob goes to see his myofacial therapist for a new version of the tongue exercises he's been doing since they lasered his frenulum (tongue-tie) several months ago.

Tomorrow, Minifobette goes to her vision therapist, who helps with eye muscle exercises so she isn't seeing double all the time for no reason. She goes back again next Wednesday, after which she has an annual with her pediatrician and then both kids go see their psychiatrist.

8 doctor appointments in 10 business days. Plus one extra for me to get a massage at my chiropractor because god damn.

Your social secretary and your chauffeur must be straight out, and deserving a big Christmas bonus.

I hope the retirement package is worth it.

I'm going insane trying to think of a word.

It's used with liar, lying, and theft, thief.

It's similar to 'habitual' and 'compulsive'.

Means something like 'can't help it', 'no choice but do the thing'.

Irresistible compulsion.

And I'm insane, now.
