It took him less than 24 hours to find the heated sleeping pad.

Is this a thing? I didn't know this was a thing but it's on an official looking website. "the individual state's Secretary of Stat" Wonder what that person does.

Preemptively feeling sorry for myself because I'll probably cancel a planned trip next week-the timing's tight, and one of the airports is having ATC-cuased delays. Then I read there are federal employees LOSING THEIR JOBS and that gives me a new perspective.

Occasionally I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror and notice my eyes look a little crazed. Then I wonder if it's just because I'm very fair with dark blue eyes, or if I'm a little crazed.

I'm in a really crappy mood today. But I know how to make myself feel better; sit down and do the thing I hate doing and have put off 'til the last moment. Yep, then I'll feel better.

Classmate in an online class seems to hate doctors. She’s talked about US doctors committing malpractice and fraud. I’ve resisted my inclination to respond (other than pointing out that in countries with universal health there’s less incentive to file lawsuits ) but it’s becoming a distraction.

Decided I wanted to make a new feed of people I enjoy interacting with so I can spend time here having fun and leave the outrage and politics for when I’m in the mood for it. Googled how to make a feed and tried to follow the instructions . Here’s how it’s going, and I’ve given up making the feed.

If anyone is using iOS 26, how’s it working out?

Can someone please point me to a simple way to annotate a picture to make a meme? Thank you

I tried a recipe for a vegan mac and cheese and OMG that "cheese" sauce was so good I could have eaten a whole bowl of just the sauce.

Howdy @floregonian.com ! Hope you are having a wonderful day.

I'm shedding. Not just in the losing hair meaning (although that's happening too) but in the getting rid of s*!t that doesn't fit my life anymore. Knitting projects I abandoned years ago? Liberate the needles, take the remaining yarn to the re-use store. Books I know I'll never read-go the the

I’m offering a sincere apology to the #emergency doctors for the patient I sent to you today. I know you hate when people do it but under the circumstances it was the least bad option.

(Sigh) I posted a 2 post missive about my unease of what’s happening in the country and then realized I’d posted in response to someone else instead of a new post so i deleted it and now I don’t have the energy or time to recreate it.

Please tell me I’m not the only person who reminds myself of stuff by writing them on a piece of paper then taking a photo of it

Would someone please remind me that I will automatically wake up at the same time, regardless when I go to bed, so staying up late because “I don’t have to work tomorrow” is setting myself for sleep deprivation.

Buying as many as I can reasonably carry every time I go to the store before they come out with a new and improved flavor because I don’t think they can improve on this one.

I want a donut.

Is there any way to convince payers that vaccines that are getting new restrictions are actually cost-effective, and they should make good sense determinations what they will cover?

Heard someone on a podcast say whenever she looked at the time and it was the same numbers as her birthday she’d have a mini birthday celebration. I just spotted my birthday on a Porta Potty and I’m not sure how to react.

Just got final exam grade for my summer class. I was worried because in some earlier assignments I got the lowest grade in the class. On the final I got the highest grade. Wonder if part of the reason is because the final was graded anonymously, with only our grading number to ID us.

I’m going to start reviewing my basic sciences because at the rate this administration is burning through qualified medical administrators I figure pretty soon my number will be up and I want to be ready.

Time for another @profanity.accountant checkup.

What did you not do today? I did not put this in a chart. "I have reviewed both copies of this 15 page excruciatingly detailed ER note with a differential that includes MI and arrhythmia and I cannot find an EKG, a reference to one, or an order for one."

I think Cracker Barrel may have finally done it. They not only removed the man from their sign, they extinguished my capacity to care about anything that doesn’t affect me personally. Now I’m concerned I may have brought this on myself-too much SOME outrage depleting my capacity to care.

Dear political party that keeps emailing me; Have you not considered that that reason you haven't seen a response to your multiple emails is because I haven't responded, will not be responding to this email, and will never respond to any you send in the future either?

Someone please remind me my homemade bread needs to get a little stale before I try slicing it.

How much money would it take to produce Sesame Street for a year, and how quickly could a GoFundMe raise that amount?

Did y’all know you can make a pancake in a rice cooker? I did this week, and my life is enriched for it.

Received a letter from Optum saying they need complete records before UHC can process my claim: health, development and physical history, required/recommended screenings and results, Immunization record, smoking status, depression screening, health education/guidance. I'm an anesthesiologist.

If you take OTC potassium and don't have any recent lab results, you will be getting a blood draw before you have surgery. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Should I stop and have ice cream on my way home from the pet store?

Reading a book about health care conglomerates. They reference a case involving my professional society, so I look it up. The case has nothing to do with what the book says it does, and the book says the US was successful but they actually lost. Now I’m suspicious of the whole book.

This patient is about to have a LA overdose and get coded.

Disappointed again when an engaging show with a complicated character neither resolves any ambiguity nor leaves it tantalizingly unresolved but instead just kills them.

I’ve just watched the most astoundingly accurate TV show trauma response, right down to fasciculation from succinylcholine. Now watching it again because it’s so good. And it’s not on The Pitt.

I opened my meditation timer app and reached for my AirPods-then thought part of the reason I meditate is to take time to put aside idle thoughts and distractions and be fully present right here right now, and blocking out sounds is isolating me from ‘here’. So I put away the AirPods..

Last night my legs were sore from hiking-couldn't find ibuprofen. Is it a good sign to be in my 60s with no ibuprofen? This morning I found ibuprofen in another cabinet. Is it a bad sign to forget it was there? The ibuprofen had an expiration date of 2024. Now I don't know what to think.

Anybody else buy a replacement for something that's almost worn out but then keep using the old one because "It still works!" or is everyone else normal?

Ordinarily I’m not impressed with large corporations, but….. I got an email that a 3 cent credit card charge at a dentist across the country was declined because my card is turned off. All it took was a single 12 minute phone call to cancel the card and order a new one. Thank you Wells Fargo

The SURGEON is making my job DIFFICULT!

Once again Amazon has delivered a package to the bench outside my condo building. At least this time they sorta have an excuse. There's no building or unit number in the address.

OK, for this I will invest some outrage. www.wsj.com/us-news/idah...

My cat is behaving like a 2 year old. Cat: FEED ME! I WANT FOOD! Me: OK, here's your food. Cat: NO, I DON'T WANT THAT FOOD. GIVE ME DIFFERENT FOOD. Me: it's the same food you ate this morning. Cat: DO NOT WANT. GIVE ME FFFOOOOOODDDDD! I WANT FOOOOOODDDD! Me: No. Eat that food. Cat: WAAAAAAHHHHHH!

I've finished all my reading and lectures for the week, took this week's quiz this morning (got 100%) and now I get to do things I want to do instead of things I have to do. I don't remember what I like to do, so I spent a lot of time playing a game on my iPad. Now I'm cleaning.

What’s good: my husband and I both like his oncologist and his clinic. What’s bad: my husband is under the care of an oncologist.

Full tummies, empty litter boxes. Life is good.

I have no idea how I pulled this one off. Wordle 1,455 6/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
