Yesterday, my sweet 16 year old niece was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma. She had a mass in her chest, will need chemo and radiation and need to ne home schooled. All our efforts and energy need to be put towards supporting my sister. I increased the aides to cover until 9pm and my parents are freakin they don’t want people in the house. WTF? I’m putting my house up for sale so I can be closer. I’m numb. My poor niece. She’s fucking 16. This isn’t supposed to happen. I can’t. My father is pissed as he feels out of control. My mother is fragile, on oxygen, we just had a chair lift installed on steps. She needs professionals to monitor her but the reality is hitting dad as is the loss of independence. Someone shoot me. Sorry for rant and any typos. I slept there last night, woke up at 2:00 and couldn’t go back to sleep. I’m fried. I’m numb. I can’t process this. I love my parents. My niece is 16. She requires all the support right now. |

I am so sorry to hear that. My thoughts will be with you as I can't fathom what you are going through....and I've been through some bad times.

Also wanted to leave this here for you. I had a very rough day last week, and my wife sent this to me the next morning after I had left for work.

Thank you @rmtt. You scared me for a minute. I thought you were sending me a note from the jar. ❤️

It's a trade off, either i shave and need to show my passport, or don't shave and get a free prostate exam when they see the turkish passport
jokes aside i've never been "randomly selected", I also never grow a beard it's just some 5 o clock shadow but better safe than violated! |

Today I'm working in a high school on a wireless internet project. I spent a considerable amount of time working in the library with one of our engineers. During that time we overheard the following conversation (keep in mind these kids are 14) and I had a hard time not LOL'ing.
Kid 1: "Dude, do you know Ashley so and so" Kid 2: "No, what does she look like?" Kid 1: "blonde hair, kinda fat and annoying... sucks all the football players dicks" Kid 2: "Oh her? Yeah she's in my block 4 class" A third kid chimes in: Kid 3: "Dude shes def not fat" Kid 1: "Yes she is bro, she has like a beer gut" The engineer and I just gave each other the WTF look.

No one deserves cancer (well I guess there are some people I might make exceptions for, Jeffrey Epstein would be one if he was guilty of all of that he was accused of), but particularly hard in someone so young with so much ahead of her. Take care of yourself too though, recharge too so you can be there fully when you are there. |

Does anyone else not stop at the receipt checker in places like Best Buy or Walmart? I do at Costco, because it's part of the membership agreement... But I just breeze right past the dude at Best Buy with a wave and a 'No thanks' when they ask to see my receipt. It started happening at Walmart recently, and no way I'm stopping for that.

Correct - this may not be the best explanation, but if a store is open to the public (not Costco/Sam's since that's membership) you're not obligated to show any receipt. I try and not be a dick about it, just say no thanks and keep walking.

If shoplifters know they can decline to stop and be checked - and criminals always know how to get away with their scams - then I suspect they're catching very few shoplifters, and possibly none whatsoever. At which point, wouldn't it just make sense to put the "checker" out on the sales floor, where they're usually way understaffed, to actually deliver some value by helping customers? Seems sensible to me.
