Hey @Bubble181! What are the chances you were sired by your former king?

Oh, just accept the compliment already, cutie
Considering I'm not a British artiste, fairly low, probably.
I waffled on this, then just did it. I submitted one of my stories published recently for the Bram Stoker Award for Short Fiction. I have nothing to lose by asking the Jury to read it, so why not? Small a chance as I have, it's more chance than not trying.

Took my daughter to the orthodontist today, and it's $6,000 pre insurance to fix her mouth. Thankfully we have good dental. Of course, she's also going to need dental implants because thanks to my genetics she won't get two of her adult molars, so there's more money down the drain later. (can't really do implants until she's done growing)
My goodness it's difficult to get Pandora to stick to female artists on a Girl Power station. Play one song from Pink, No Doubt, Candi Staton, Aretha, Gladys, or Etta followed by eight songs by male artists - about half of them being "love songs," and the other half being rap songs all about how many fly honeys the rapper can score with his oodles of cash and his flashy clothes. All I want to do is listen to some good old female empowerment anthems on election day, come on Pandora!
I trust you're giving those tracks a quick thumbs down?
I went through eight or nine "videos" (thank you ublock origins) worth of additional song skips, then I closed Pandora and redownloaded all of the Spotify apps.
Cog's post in the whine thread made me think of it, but this isn't a whine since I find it funny.
My gf has a 4 year old cousin who I try not to really interact with. I've had to say that I don't really want to and now the whole family assumes that I don't like children.
The real reason is that he's an awful spoiled brat that never gets an ounce of discipline and I know I'd get yelled at by her family if I put my foot down when he inevitably abuses me. I.E. what I saw happen when someone tried to get the kid to stop stabbing him with a dinner knife.
Thankfully they can accept me as a child-hating misanthrope.

Update: go see the epic win thread. Gimme like, 2 min first though.
I am getting myself a hedgehog. Gonna build a hedgehog cage next week and at the beginning of December they will send me the little guy.
So I just had a dog get in front of my car then it seemed like it was trying to get me to follow it back to the house they were at when I got out of the car to try to move it. But the driveway was gated and pad locked and I didn't want to risk pissing someone off so I just called the police dispatch and said something about it.
Is it weird that I did that? It really felt like the dog was trying to get me to follow because it kept howling and looking back at me.

Ok, I gotta know, do swingers get real detached from reality?
So last weekend, my swinger couple friends, one of which has been one of my closest friends since grade 5, just tried to hook me with up a friend of theirs who's looking for a sex buddy, despite knowing I'm in a pretty committed, albeit FRUSTRATINGLY long distance, relationship.
I was a little upset, since I didn't know that was the reason behind the get together. They didn't think anything of it. They've been non-monogamous for so long that it's nothing to them.
Man.

Looks like Turkey is gonna be off the menu for Thanksgiving this year.
That's... one heck of a widespread outbreak. And it's been going on for over a year.
looks like your URL got mushed...
here's a link to a story talking about it.

"Toto, I don't think we live in Merrill anymore."
Last night, right before the wife and I were getting ready to go to bed, we saw a Mesa PD cruiser pull up and essentially block the corner of the street in front of our place. After a few minutes, my wife realized that there were several other cop cars down the street a ways.
And then we heard the K-9 unit, and the helicopter started hovering overhead with a spotlight (it was after 7:30, and the sun goes down early).
Apparently, the guy in the trailer two doors down wasn't responding to calls or someone knocking on his door, so MPD essentially did a home invasion (I don't think that's the right term, but that's what it looked like) to make sure he wasn't in danger.
I haven't heard anything as I just got up and am heading off to work.

Every time I see a someone on the news whining about a bad experience with Uber, and how the company shouldn't be able to get away with it, I can't help but shout at the TV.
"You want Regulations? Because that's how you get Regulations!"
"I mean, you chose Uber."
"You want Regulations, take a fucking cab!"
Watching Uber grow is probably a good history lesson on why and how Taxis became regulated.

Exactly. You get what you pay for. If you want a professional, pay for one. The same applies to hair colour, tattoos, painting (at least for me lol) and many other things. And taxes!!!
Problem with that is when the taxi's have a monopoly in a city
While I've never seen a city where there was only 1 taxi company, I get that you're saying that the only option is a taxi operating under a city's rules, rules that determine how much the taxi charges among many other things.
I'm guessing in a few more years Uber and Lyft will show us why that was necessary. I've already seen hints of this iceberg with complaints about Uber's surge pricing. "We're really busy right, so we're jacking the price for the next coupe hours."
How did @Bubble181 manage to agree and disagree to this message at the same time?
You're such a dork.
You should reverse the owl on your other account and see if anyone notices. Or put a goatee on it and tell everyone that's your evil twin.
