A crappy porn site I think.

No, sorry they've all kicked the bucket...David Bowie and Prince died in 2016, and Kenny Rogers died in 2020.

Edit: Oh, now I get it.

Yup, I just knew I was going to regret asking...

I have a feeling I'm going to regret asking, but what kind of "incident"?

I don't know if my energy levels had anything to do with adhd or if it was just a unrelated companion, but I've always been that way. Sugar was banned in my house I think because my mother thought I'd implode if I got my mitts on any. I couldn't even sit long enough to watch a whole movie from start to finish until I was in my 30's.

Sitting still and not being bored senseless. I was a hyperactive kid with adhd, having to sit anywhere for more than 10 minutes was the bane of my existence.

Ya unfortunately I went the same school as her and it's my area (Portage-lisgar) that kept voting her in for some reason, despite her having the IQ of a wet sock.

Oh ya, it's fine.... It took a while to get used to having slightly shorter fingers, and it feels weird as hell when you bump things with them without the normal fingertip padding (Now it's just skin and bone hitting things) but I'm used to it.

By sticking them where they didn't belong... kind of hard to explain but I was working on a friend's lawn mower and lost my balance, I tried to push against the mower to hold myself up but my hand slipped, kind of bounced off the ground and the mower blade managed to catch them.

It didn't really hurt but I was more mad at myself for it happening. I brought the fingertips to the hospital but they were kinda smooshed, and they had to take a bit more bone out of my fingers so that they'd have enough skin to close it up.

Kidney stones. I've had the tips of two fingers on my left hand chopped off, and even that didn't come close to the feeling of a kidney stone rattling down the pipework.

I have Medullary sponge kidney, which in short makes my kidneys a stone factory. It's a love/hate relationship at this point. On the plus side, I've found drinking at least 2 liters of lemonade every day has done wonders to stop my kidneys from feeling like they're trying to kill me all the time.

We know. One of our conservative MP's even ran around with a MAGA hat at one point.

Or like the warning on my corded electric shaver- "Do not use underwater."

Makes me sad that I can't shave in my tub while I'm making my morning toast.

In the background of the one pic you can see one of the abandoned schoolhouses in the distance.

 

I didn't get a closer pic of this one sadly because a)Bees and b) I got distracted by the old Fargo that's directly behind me in this pic.

An old Fargo truck rotting away in southern Manitoba. More pics of it here https://imgur.com/gallery/y4zdhCj

 

I saw the String cheese post so I thought I'd share my own "slightly beyond best before date" consumable. I used to have two of them that I had found in my attic under some insulation, but the other one froze in my garage and broke open. (No, it did NOT smell pleasant. I'm pretty sure whatever vile liquid is in that thing does not resemble beer in any way, shape, or form.)

It's perched on a flashlight to try and show the sediment that's built up on the bottom of the bottle.

My daughter found her alone on the side of a gravel road yesterday morning and brought her to my house. We think she's about 6 weeks old. I had to edit the post title three times because she keeps stepping on the keyboard to attack and viciously lick my fingers.
