“I like when she talks to me and tells me what to do”
“That inspector gadget was a great dick”
To a long ago cop who was trying to woo her “I have a shotgun behind this door to keep me safe if you want to go on”

lemme tell you a bedtime story. once upon a time there was a very old woman, in her late 40s, basically a dinosaur, old enough to be my mother let’s be honest, and I’m 21 so that’s pretty crazy, even though my mom’s like 60 I think? she still looks great for her age. anyway the old woman was bad. the end.

Is Your Immune System Working Against You? What Every Senior Needs to Know
As we age, our immune systems naturally weaken — but did you know they can also turn against us? Autoimmune diseases affect millions of older Australians, and with over 80 known conditions, many cases go undetected for years. From rheumatoid arthritis and lupus to Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis, the signs can be easy to miss — fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, even tingling in the hands and feet. The good news? With the right awareness, lifestyle habits, and support, these conditions can be effectively managed. Don’t ignore what your body is trying to tell you — read more and share with someone who needs this today.

For the old people in the back I was born in 2006 and im turning 20 this year. To put it in perspective, the age you where when I was a sperm, is the age that I’m turning.

Selfishly, the whole Dropout fiasco is disappointing because I just found them a couple months ago and was in the early stages of “Ahhhh, it’s nice to have one single entertainment source out there whose values are inline with mine”… and here we are, crashing back to earth. It feels so damn lonely sometimes.
…But also it’s awkward because I haven’t cared about mainstream TV in years, especially (but not only) now that they’re all 100% bought out by Trump cronies - so any person watching primetime network TV is already compromising their values and should be treated as sus - *AND* I am out of the loop on whatever Nathan Fillion did wrong, being as I haven’t thought about him in…. Well, what year did the Sing Along Blog come out? 2008? That many. So it’s like…
“They did huh?…. oh ok… with who? … and this… is BAD, I trust, right? Alright, if you say so dear, I believe you.”
And I already felt old, so it’s making me feel double-mega-old.
Anyways, I guess my point is that right now I’m Troy walking back into the apartment, and everything’s on fire and chaotic, and that sucks.
(Sidebar: I’m also not excited about this weird-ass show they brought over, I don’t want scary in my funny haha window! Dislike!)

I feel like a lot of the times when people complain about their old relatives not understanding tech the main problem is they’re just not explaining it to them in terms they can understand. Good example my grandmother was wanting to watch YouTube a she had really bad service a she got herself really worked up cause it wouldn’t load and she didn’t understand why. An I tryed to explain how wifi and cellular connection works an she just wasn’t getting it, an finally I said “you know how you can’t pick radio stations in certain places” and she responded yes so I continued “well it’s the same thing with your phone, just like how some radios can’t pick up stations in some places, sometimes your phone can’t pick up the internet in some places” and she an she was like “oh that makes sense” LIKE ITS THAT EASY just relate it to something they know so the concept is more easily digestible and less foreign to them.

My grandma asked me if I’m happy in my relationship…all this spawned over me telling her I didn’t know what I was having for dinner. She asked me not to get mad.
Got too honest and told her I’m not happy in life. Relationship be damned and her eyes just glazed over. I told her it’s alright tho bc that’s how life is.
Idk how she thinks the boy has anything to do with this. To know me is to know that there isn’t much to know. I’m bland, my life is a mess, and I don’t have much to look forward to. The boy wasn’t gonna fix that.
We’re back to watching General Hospital like it never happened.
She thinks the new bachelorette walks like a linebacker.

They should change Facebook to Gravebook. There are too many old people and I’m pushing 60.

i should post about my guinea pig on facebook like they do in mom groups but not specify that he’s not a human child. i think i could mention his cage and his diet of pellets and they still wouldn’t figure it out.

Today I overheard a 75 year old man ask a group of (younger but still up there) women “Who would win in a fight? 100 men or 1 gorilla?” and my 22 year old coworker walked right up to them and said “I would punch the gorilla in the balls”

365 Days of Posts- Day 41
Today sucked and I hate everything
Found out that my coworker left for unknown reasons and turns out she was kinda bat shit insane! (Making up fake sexual harrassment complaints regarding other coworkers and not even her and voice recording shit??!! Anyways she’s gone and yeah)
An old man yelled at me today for doing my fucking job. Yay.
Spent 40 minutes looking for dish soap in Walmart. Got everything else in the first 15 minutes. Fuck Walmart.
My zipper on one of my favorite hoodies broke. Just the grabby part tho. The necessary part is still there so I wanna fix it with a sword charm I have.
I’m fucking touch starved. 🥲🥲🥲
Have a good day/night

I saw an old lady in the supermarket spray herself in the face with deodorant, smack her lips together and replace it on the shelf, only to repeat this several times until she found one that met her criteria, put it in he cart and carry on.
