After the service, the funeral home gave me a nice reusable bag with paperwork and thank you cards and so on. I don’t feel like I can go to my local farmers’ market with a bag advertising a funeral home.

While driving home from the city, I heard a thunk and then a knocking. A few min later, a red light came on for the battery.Then my power steering gave out. Then I got a red light warning about the engine heat. And now I’m sitting on the side of the road waiting to be rescued.

Our heroine is sitting in her car with the windows open and her feet up on the door frame. You can see her raspberry Chucks and black pants, plus a bit of her traitorous steering wheel and dash. At least she’s in the shade.

You know what would make LinkedIn Premium a service I pay for? If I could customize what they show me. My feed is a mess of clickbait, so let’s clean that junk up. I will never work for [insert companies here], so keep that to yourself.

Google has just informed me that I have a child. I had a lot of fun during my college years, but always used birth control. You'd’ve thought their other parent would've told me before this. This is one hell of a way to find out I've got a kid.

This is a screenshot of an email from Google informing me of a change to their settings. It says:
We’re updating our settings to give you and your child even more control over saved history and personalized recommendations across Google Search services, including Search, Maps, Shopping, Hotels, Flights, Translate, and News. You’ll see this change in your child’s Google Account in the next few days.

There are a total of 2 books in my entire life that I have not DNFd. I have hate-read more books than I care to count. I have made myself finish books 3 pages per night until the bitter end. That’s not to brag. I am impressed by the people who cut their losses. They are far smarter than I am.

alright y'all, what's the pettiest reason you DNF'd a book? I'll go first- the protag of the book disparaged Star Trek's Seven of Nine and said she wasn't sexy

Years ago, we looked up book-related injuries in our NEISS injury data system and, unsurprisingly, many injuries were from books falling off shelves, people tripping over boxes of books, and injuries from trying to pick up boxes of books. The books are most dangerous when they are flocking together.
