I'm having trouble, yet again, with this. It seems to go in spurts. There is a "bug" reporting thread here somewhere, but I can never remember where it is. Also seeking the memory boost thread, lol.

Pretty low bar isn't it? Gilbert Gottfried would be a breath of fresh air compared to Kanye.

No, but my cursory search indicated that code was exclusive to T-Mobile. The Verizon app doesn't keep the phone from ringing, which is what I want, it merely marks as "potential spam". I can block that number, but that's a futile act as we know.

Only works for T-Mobile users?

Occasionally, but one is too many.

I'm peeved that narcissist Andy Cohen wasn't fired.

My father died in a nursing home at 93 with stage 6 dementia and lots of orthopedic issues. Mom is 90, with stage 3 dementia, is basically blind with MD & glaucoma, wheelchair bound, and all but deaf. DH at 76 is chronically ill with multiple ailments. Yeah, dying in one's sleep at 65, before illness has a chance to take hold is far preferable imho.

That gambling app wench can take her entire ass off my TV screen.

There are several tributes at the end of this obit which indicate how well liked Mr Saget was. bob-saget-1956-2022 Also this, Saget's tribute to Betty White: Saget was among the many celebrities and fans who took to social media to honor White following her death on Dec. 31 at age 99. He took to Instagram that day to discuss the beloved comedy icon’s career as well as tell a story about meeting her. He concluded his heartfelt post by speculating about where White is now, noting that she believed she would reunite with her husband, Allen Ludden, in the afterlife. "She always said the love of her life was her husband, Allen Ludden, who she lost in 1981. Well, if things work out by Betty’s design— in the afterlife, they are reunited," Saget wrote. "I don’t know what happens when we die, but if Betty says you get to be with the love of your life, then I happily defer to Betty on this."

My own experiences have taught me that the ability to procreate does not guarantee suitability for parenthood. I believe that my parents did the best they could. It's up to me to not take their shortcomings personally. Easier said than done.

Correct. It's a metaphor for life in general though isn't it? A tale as old as time; youth (you know, those with the least amount of money, experience, and well, sense) rules the world. The exception to this of course, is the advertising dollars spent between September 1st and December 15th, so that we poor, feeble seniors can watch Joe Namath and Jimmy Walker try to make us believe we can get sumpn' fer nuttin'.

I actually don't think it's too late.

If it happened to me, I would contact the local authorities if only to file a report and have it on record. Cyber or not, still a crime. Some larger jurisdictions probably have entire units dedicated to same, considering how often it happens, and the impact.

My related peeve concerns my use (overuse) of commas. Punctuation in general is my kryptonite. When to hyphenate, when exactly to use a semicolon, etc.

Is he keeping Toothless? Also, is the poor dear really toothless? Black cats are the best!

I would do/have done the same for mine. He would for me if he could. I don't take that for granted, as I know there are folks that don't have the luxury of a caring spouse.

I know a bit about this approach. I developed the role of Controlling Partner in our marriage early on. I have often pondered whether that was due to my apparent controlling nature, or out of necessity (I suspect it's both). On many occasions, I neglected one thing or another as an experiment. Never did the desired result occur. My husband also rather enjoyed the kitchen clean-up duties, and also fed the cats and tended to their litter boxes. He also did his own laundry, having come into the relationship as single for 13 years, I saw no reason to become his laundress, lol. While I appreciated those things, his inherent ability to look past the overflowing trash container, or the dried toothpaste in the sink was frustrating. His idea of cleaning the bathroom was to swish a toilet brush around after dumping some blue liquid into the bowl. Never did he ever actually remove anything to dust/clean under or around said thing. I use past tenses, as his illness/disability prevents any contribution to the workload now.

"Boom!"

Absolutely, my thoughts as well. I'm sure there are select, enlightened examples out there, but for me, no matter the age or length of marriage/coupling, the women bear the brunt. I don't have personal knowledge with same-sex (is that hyphenated?) couples. Would be interesting to know their story in this regard.

Same. Two seasons down, one to go, with 2 days left.

Yeah, I'm going to need someone to make this happen.

And variations like "sorry for your lost", "it's hard to loose someone this time of year", or "I was shocked to see that he past away".
