I bought a water pik.
As it turns out you can really hurt your tongue with it on the highest setting.

I roasted a pork butt. I was pulling it to make sandwiches. I have picked out 30 slivers of bone. This has never happened to me before. I am still looking for more slivers, as I don’t want to kill Mr.Wrekker. Did I get a bad butt, or is this common?
I would ask the folks at the Shack, but they got closed down when a bunch of rats dragged a rack of ribs across the kitchen in front of the Health Inspector.
I’m picturing one rat directing the proceedings while opening doors for the others. “This way, this way, c’mon guys! Rob, to your right! YOUR right! Your other right you moron!”
Steps for BB:
Remove mattresses. Or better yet, puncture multiple times.
Check for and remove keys to locks.
Point, Laugh.
Drive away.
Bet the attitude changes by Monday, when they are found again.
That’s weird. Pork butt is supposed to be boneless. Unless maybe the hunk o’ meat itself was mislabeled?
One of my new-to-me job duties is pulling white meat off cold rotisserie chicken then shredding that for pie, soup, and salad. There’s always bits of bone and tendon mixed in with the rib meat, so you when you hand shred it you sift it through your fingers to pick 'em out. It doesn’t sound like much but when you have one of those huge stainless steel bowls full of chicken, it can get a bit tedious. But hey, I’ve gotten pretty good at it, or so I’ve been told.
Christ, the fucking Pepsi Pledge of Allegiance crap is flying around Facebook again. It was 16 fucking years ago that DOCTOR PEPPER put out a short lived can with the Statue of Liberty and the phrase “One Nation- Indivisible”. So all the right wing whackadoodles got their panties all in a twist because they quoted 3 words from the POA but didn’t include two more- Under God. Big Fucking Deal! Now because I use the word “the” does that obligate me to quote the entire POA? After all “the” is in the Pledge! Will the POA Police come after me?
Get a fucking clue, morons! It wasn’t fucking Pepsi, it was fucking Doctor Pepper. Now if you want to boycott Dr Pepper over a can that had a limited run 16 fucking years ago, then fucking knock yourself out. But to stir up shit about Pepsi that they didn’t fucking do could hurt real people if your little boycott were to be successful. So if that’s on your Facebook wall, take it down. Jesus.
Goddamn it so much.
Discussion about phony ‘here’s how to alert people that you’re being abused’ meme. Many of us point out the obvious flaws in the plan.
Woman decides to come through this morning and bark at all of us men, telling us to stop “mansplaining” to women.
I respond with my own abuse history and ask her not to assume that only women are abused.
Her response is basically “I’m sorry you had that experience, but far more women are abused than men” :smack:
How the fuck is that helpful? Fucking dismiss my experiences and my opinion because what now?
:mad:
My issue with certain approaches to feminism, in a nutshell.
I feel like certain people consider the assumed social identity of a person before they consider the merit of their argument. “Is this person a white man? Well then I don’t have to think critically about anything he says.”
Bullshit. You should think critically about anything anyone says.
This is very different than men explaining to women what should upset them or cause them trauma (which is also bullshit),when someone offers a critique of my strategy, I fucking listen.
Yeah, duh! Pepsi is the one trying to sneak aborted babies into food, not the one trying to kick God out of 'Murica!
Flying Spaghetti Monster help me, I’m related to people who believe this crap. Also, I would have linked to the Snopes article, but their mobile site appears to be infested with malicious pop-up ads.
Can y’all stop fucking the sodas? I’m trying to have a drink here!
Having fun at work with authorizations. The rant would be, I’m being ordered to do a bunch of stuff that’s very much Not My Job. The anti-rant is, I don’t have authorizations for any of it. Does this Big Eyed Look make me look like I’m about to backstab someone?
Just give all users Domain Administrator rights. What could go wrong?
How many minutes until you are out of there?
I ain’t doing long math, but the contract ends February 28.
When I told the CIO that I was leaving then he smiled and said “no you’re not, I’ve got here a Purchasing Order that says March 31st”. I opened my email and showed him the contract renewal, February 28 (being a renewal it doesn’t list actual rates so it’s ok). He actually smiled wider. I think he’s planning on using this to do some really nasty and extremely deserved things to the consulting firm (I invoice an agent, he invoices the consulting firm, this particular consulting firm has been doing some nasty things to the pooch).
It’s fairly common around here to see the shoulder labeled as pork butt or bone-in pork butt. Still, that’s one big chunk of bone and not splinters.
I just gave my misophonic self a stab of rage-depression when I realized that no, I couldn’t cheer myself up with the fact that winter boot season ends in a few months, because it’s followed by regular shoe season, and my coworker can’t pick her gotsdamn feet up in those either*. :mad:
*No, there is nothing physically wrong with her. It’s a habit.
And while I’m at it, the same coworker constantly picks her eye boogies, looks intently at them, and flicks them away.
Why. Why. Why.
Raised by Wolfs.
At least she isn’t eating the eye snot…
Two phone calls today from an obvious phone scammer, threatening me with a lawsuit. The number is now blocked, but seriously, people like this give me the hives. I’ve reported the number, not that I expect that to do any good.
Apparently my dumb ass got into some poison ivy. Itchy fucking rash across both forearms, and my left armpit - so no antiperspirant there, which was FUN for that job interview yesterday - in addition to interesting spots like both hips and my left earlobe. Sleep is a distant memory.
Did I mention that I’m trying to get a job? So here in Murrica (“fuck yeah!”) that means I also have no health insurance, which is roughly the same as no access to health care. So … aloe leaves it is.
I joked last night that I should sleep wearing mittens so I can’t scratch in my sleep, the way they do with newborn babies. Thinking that might actually be a good idea.
What is sleep? Is it fun? I dimly recall enjoying it.
sigh
I think its time to dump my doctor.
I’m getting increasingly frustrated with his condescending attitude and I’ve raised a couple of concerns with him in the last year only to have him blow them off.
Like there’s this skin thing on my left hip, about 3" long and 2" wide that looks like some form of Psoriasis or something worse. Red and scaly. Been there two years and it is starting to get really painful. Showed it to him, he just blew it off as a rash and told me to put hydrogen peroxide on it. :rolleyes:
I’ve had a couple of other concerns since that I’ve been reluctant to bring to him because I no longer trust him to be anything but a condescending jerk who doesn’t listen to me. I realized that today in thinking about two issues I thought I’d better bring up to him on my next visit.
Goddamn it, I’m going to get on their app and send them a message saying this.
Me: “Hey, my location in Meetup shows us which players have signed up for which tables. Why don’t the organizers for your location do this?”
Them: WE’RE BUSY. We have jobs and such. Why don’t YOU volunteer?
Well fuck you and your defensive overreaction! I’ll be sure never to play at your location, jerks.
