lol we are having one of those ridiculous kind of thanksgivings. sugar was left out of pie, aunt had a toothache and got a root canal yesterday, forgot a few things & ran to the store, came back to find the turkey was rancid and had to go out again, and now can't find any turkeys in stores. 😜

someone should come out with a line of sodium loaded snacks for POTS people. none of this 150mg per serving bullshit. let's see a snack with a solid gram, bro. solid coating so it doesn't all drop to the bottom of the bag in the dust. #POTS

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

I love watching british shows and seeing the same actors in a gazillion different things, but NOT with a different accent. I know your accent, buddy, and that is NOT it. don't try to fool me. one accent per actor.
