Schlep Timbre (September Mini-Rants)

The other day a woman I know told me she was going to see Trump speak in Indiana, PA and asked if I was going. I rolled my eyes. She insisted she was going to “see history”. When I asked what she meant, she smiled and asked how often you have a chance to witness an assassination.

I suggested she’d be more likely to “see history” by going to a school on any random day.

It’s difficult to unpack how much is wrong with this.

What’s up with all the question marks in political texts that show up on my phone? Literally dozens and dozens of them. It’s more weird than annoying, as I don’t read them anyway.

It’s using some kind of Unicode symbol or some emoji through SMS your phone can’t understand, so it puts in a placeholder.

Clearly this is an attempt to reach out to the youth vote.

psssh If somebody wants to see history in Indiana, PA, let ‘em visit Jimmy Stewart’s dad’s hardware store. There’s an honest-to-God Oscar statuette right there in the window.

2nd degree burn, palm and fingers of my right hand

Grabbed a 450 degree pot handle

Burns Suck! Please feel better soon…

Ow, heal soon. My knuckles hear ya.

Ouch! Second degree is the one that hurts the most.

Good thoughts to you.

Thanks y’all, at the ER now. But you see i told you first :slightly_smiling_face:

I see you have your priorities straight.

When I first read your post, “Grabbed a 450 degree pot handle”, I didn’t appreciate the seriousness. It finally sunk in with the bit about being in the ER. How awful! Hope you get the best care and they give you any necessary pain meds. Get well soon!

ouch hope it gets better … for some reason I feel the need to take things out of the hot as hell over every few weeks or so …the urge runs in the family I’m told …

Come work at the pizza kitchen I’m at. You’ll learn.

I know you’re getting real Rx, but don’t forget, aloe vera is still your friend.

Also :people_hugging: cuz burns HURT.

Oh man, I’ve done that, but not that bad. Hopefully it heals fast. And hopefully you have some good painkillers.

This.
Keep a tube in your kitchen.

That dude must be super old by now, he should retire and let his great grandkids run the store.

That leaves me out.

Or a plant in your sun room.

Time heals all wounds. Aloe Vera helps.
