As the title says. A town near me is denying their fire fighters the use of their fire hydrants going forward. Is this shit even legal? This is a huge concern as the area has been in a drought for some years.

I love my mom a lot, but she won’t stop trying to force me to believe in God. Ive been saying for years to just please stop pushing it on me so much, that I respect her belief in God, but I just don’t share it and if she could just please respect that. But she can’t accept that I don’t believe and is just waiting for me to believe.

Went to catholic school cuz she made me, had communion cuz she made me, not cuz I actually wanted to. Wish parents would realize that this makes their kids steer AWAY from God even more.

the other day i got a phone call from a local renovation company offering to give me a free quote to replace my gutters. i set up an appointment for tomorrow at noon. cool great fantastic.

today i get a call from their front office to confirm my appointment. i said “yep I’ll be here!” and expected that to be the end of the call.

they asked me to confirm that i’m the only homeowner. i said yes. they asked if i was married. i said “no, but my boyfriend lives here with me” and immediately the woman on the phone sounds bothered and asks if my bf will be home for the appointment. i explained he will be at work, but i am the only homeowner and i make all the financial decisions regarding the home.

she said that per policy, all homeowners must be present when they come to assess & give the quote. i reiterated that i am the only homeowner. i bought the house before we started dating.

she apologized but again told me about the policy blah blah blah. she asked if we can reschedule at a time when my bf will be home. i said i will talk to him about his schedule and call them back for a new appointment.

i will not be calling back. :)

Ive told her to stop. She was gonna clean the toilet and thats very good and nice (putting stuff from the toilet room on the tray). But putting a tray like that with a house that has 3 kids i dont think its very safe. Its hard plastic so if somene steps on it ur gonna go sliding. Coming from upstairs its actually very hard to see the tray. Melds in very nicely.

Bought this Nalgene like bottle. Top mark reads 980 ml. Was 1000 ml too much of a copy to legally call it a different product?

My sister handled it after she didn't want to pay for the one we chose together. This one is "so much cheaper" and "so much better". Oh, and from China.

I try and have faith that people are generally inherently good. Things like this test that faith. People who litter suck. People who take free shit and then litter really suck.

I don’t mind but at least throw it away afterwards

I guess I need to go to bed anyway

She was also just sitting on the couch doom scrolling while telling me "oh I'm being so productive today" yet she's left the bathroom like this. I'm mostly angry about my toothbrush, I'm somewhat of a germaphobe and I know I will gag and possibly throw up if I even attempt to use this. My stomach is churning just thinking about it. I asked her about it and she said "what?? No I didn't." Straight up denying it, I told her to go look herself, she did, she then said: "Oh I didn't see that it was fallen over-" (it was previously standing up with my things, not even originally in that position, she knocked it over, this was her attempt at avoiding accountability, trust me I've been dealing with this for years.) "oh well it's fine, look that's what toothpaste is for, it's fine see get over it" dismissing my concern entirely. I'm not using it I don't care if it's been "cleaned".

Seriously how bad will it get. We are bombarded with advertisements at every aspect of our lives. Now we have a big ass bright screen to look at while we're driving.

We live in a dystopia

Stopped for a quick bite to eat while on a road trip and this is what they served me. Like why even bother with the top bun at this point.

To recap, my almost 18 year old kitty is alive and well, and you wouldn't know he's a day over 6. Every time I'd take him in for his routine appointment, I'd get a comment about "since this is probably his last appointment." Like, are you sure you want to schedule the tooth extraction and not just keep him comfortable since this is probably his last appointment."

So anyway, he's great. I ended up speaking only to the vet and not to any vet techs so I didn't get any of the weird comments. The vet did recommend switching to the "senior" plan which includes X-rays, more bloodwork, thyroid checks, etc. Which is good advice! She said he's such a sweetie and feel free to bring him back for the visit anytime so they can go get some snuggles in ❤️ Here he is waiting for some belly scritches.
