if you think something being "natural" or "plant-based" makes it healthy and something being made in a lab and loaded into a syringe is inherently dangerous, you're an idiot. you should lose access to your kids if you harm them due to this belief www.propublica.org/article/more...

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth

A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

I was going to be a World Cup hater, but I'm ready to root for Mexico now. The further they make it, the closer LA gets to Knicks level positive vibes

Whenever I hear a news story about New York or Los Angeles that involves windows being broken I wonder if they ever call up South Dakota and North Dakota and Kansas and Wyoming and ask if the combined populations of all those states broke any windows today

Sometimes I check out local free Craigslist just for fun. Found a hot tub that doesn't want to hear about Greg and hates Emmas

Giving away the hot tub. It's a 6 seater, paid $4,200 new in 2014, jets all still work, heater works mostly. You haul. It's around 700 lbs empty, so you'll want a trailer and at least three guys. There's a spigot on the back left for draining.

One thing to know up front. The tub has developed preferences.

I'm not trying to mislead anyone so I'm being straight with you. Starting in early 2022 it started doing things. The jets on the north side, the side facing the house, shut off when my ex-wife Cheryl would get in. Not when anyone else got in. Just her. I had two repair guys out, both said nothing was wrong with the unit. The second guy said "sometimes appliances pick up on stuff" which I didn't really process at the time.

By that summer she was barely using it. She said the water "felt judgmental." I thought she was being dramatic. Then in October she sat down across from me in the tub and told me about Greg. The tub went completely still. No bubbles, no hum, the underwater light dimmed about halfway down. I'm not saying it reacted, I'm just telling you what happened in the order it happened.

After she moved out it came back to normal mostly. Bubbles are good, heat is good. But it will not warm past 98 degrees if a woman named Emma uses it. Doesn't matter which Emma. My sister Emma, my neighbor Emma, and the Emma who delivered a package and asked if she could test it because she was thinking about buying one. All three. 98 and it stops climbing. You can test this yourself, bring a Emma.

Couple other things to mention. Around 2 or 3 am it sometimes cycles the jets on its own for about 40 seconds. I used to think it was a timer issue but the timer's been unplugged since January. Also the cover remembers. I don't really want to get into the cover.

I'm not asking anything for it, I just want it gone. I think it would be happier somewhere new, somewhere it doesn't have to think about Greg. If you take it, please be kind to it. It's been through a lot. We both have

Congrats to my son Don (?) and his wife probably on their wedding or similar event, such as birthday party. I cannot attend, since there's a quarterback who still thinks I'm fine to be around in public. Best of luck to Eric or whatever kid I said a minute ago and his new Wife 2 or maybe 3.
