What’s wrong?
What kind of pain?
Do you need to vent or is there specific help/ advise somebody could offer?
Speak up! Don’t keep it inside!

Yeah…listen to @Qadgop_the_Mercotan
Rumor has it that he like applied to medical school. Or something. I don’t know. I listen to him about halfway before I get distracted trying to figure out what a “Mercotan” is, and where he got the name in the first place.
I’ve been here for 20 years and still don’t know the answer to good doctor’s cryptic name.

She’s doing well. She just wandered by ,doing actual constructive things rather than goofing off like me. She sends her warm regards.

He could tell you, but he’d have to lick you afterwards.

My soccer game got rained out, so I haven’t been hipchecked on my ass by players a third my age. I’ve got half the pain I usually do on a Sunday…
…so I could use some pain. Please share yours!

As long as your name has come up, @Qadgop_the_Mercotan I’ve been curious about how things are going at your place of work, specifically WRT covid and the inmates/staff. Last I remember, shit was not good. Are the numbers looking better? Are people getting vaccinated? And yourself-- how are you holding up?
This may be off-topic, but I can’t figure out what the topic of this thread is supposed to be, so there’s that.

It’s about the pain. Something to do with perfect ears, I think.
