Holy crap. Just finished an interaction with a customer. Asked if they had any other questions...and they write out this long-ass response promoting...Jehova Witnesses.
This is NOT the place to be doing that, buddy. I'm just here to discuss your internet/TV account.

Not true! Now is the time to be picking sides and deciding which heaven you want to be sorted into, before it's too late!

Everyone think of your favorite evil grin. Whether it's the Joker's grin, the Grinch's grin, Monty Burns's grin, or Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock grin, basically that's the expression I have right now.
For you see, we got some really bullshit client feedback on one of our translation cases, and my supervisor just said the words I've been aching to hear. "We're going to arrange a phone call with the client, and you can tell them exactly how wrong they are."

It was verbal on a call with my sister.
Get the restraining order.
This.
My poor bear is back with me now!! We are playing Path of Exile, drinking Diet Coke and eating deep fried cauliflower with DS9 in the background. You know, the finer things.
Omg that makes me sound like a 5 year old. This two days after my mother tells me I’m close to 50 so I must need reading glasses.

I'm coining a new term (at least it doesn't show up in searches or on UrbanDictionary).
Instavert [noun]: someone who takes a lot of selfies, and thus appears outgoing, but is actually shy or introverted in person. A portmanteau of Instagram and introvert.

My understanding is that an ambivert is someone who has traits of both introversion and extroversion, and thus finds themselves somewhere in between the two. I don't know if it's a real term used by psychologists, but it at least seems to be trying to be serious term.
Instavert is not meant to be a psychological classification or diagnosis. It's just a fun way to talk about the dichotomy of having a strong social media presence, but little real life social presence.
Yesterday I received a phone call from a deputy at a sheriff's station near my ex's place.
The deputy informed me that my ex reported that I let our daughter get access to some "adult oriented material" while she was staying with me on the weekend.
The deputy said when he talked to my daughter that she didn't remember anything like that happening, but he politely just reminded me that it's a parent's job to keep anything inappropriate for kids off open browsers and all that. Personally it sounded like he was only making the call at all because he was lawfully obligated to speak to me since my ex had made a report.
My ex has not contacted me about this matter personally, so I have absolutely no idea what material our daughter could have gotten into (if at all).
My ex is known for blowing things out of proportion. Especially when it means getting what she wants. In this case; trying to paint me as a bad father. She did it to my step-children's father, and she wants to do it to me too.

How dare you automatically assume we don't know what a Timbit is?! That's discrimination!
Weevil!
You get the Dunkin Spider Donut, or whatever the Timmy H. equivalent would be.
Garbage. The Tim Hortons equivalent would be garbage.
My unprofessional opinion, from what you've shared here over the years, is that your ex wife is batshit crazy and manipulative. If you've spoken to a custody attorney in the past I'd give them a call and ask advice about how to counter this accusation, you can't just let it lie
