Thank you!

Think about writing a lot, but writing seems like a hard gig these days. Plus, most of my writing is rambling thoughts, so I'm not sure I could find the right audience for it.

Appreciate it, though. (:

I have to make a conscious effort to drink water, and my health requires that I do so. In order to not be dehydrated and sick, I carry a water bottle wherever I go.

I had a really cool NES water bottle that I loved because it had a push-button flip top. The less effort it takes for me to get to the water, the better! But eventually, the top broke and I begrudgingly had to get another water bottle.

Got one off Amazon (during lockdowns), and I just always had issues with it. Too big, flip top would come open in my bag sometimes, hard to clean, etc. I finally asked for a water bottle for Christmas as the one thing I wanted, and my SIL came through.

The flip top is SO easy to clean, the button is great, it has a handle that can flip up & down and doubles as a safety that covers up the button (so no more accidental openings!!), it has a pour spout AND a clever af straw-less sip option built into the top and it is just.... so good. She got me a bright orange one, because that was the only color they had in the store at the time, and she was worried I would have preferred a darker, more neutral color. Nope! Turns out, it's perfect for making sure I don't constantly lose my water bottle anymore!

As you can see, I will ramble to anyone who asks about it, because it's just so damn good.

I recently realized that it comes in different sizes, too!!

So anyone in the market for a damn good water bottle, check out the "owala"-brand. It's extremely inexpensive, great quality, lots of color & size choices, and it's just great. I swear I'm not a company shill– just a passionate hydro homie.

Here's a photo of mine. Yours will not come with stickers. Gotta supply your own. Sorry!

In order to get the answers you're looking for, put out the question "what exactly does this statement mean?" instead of "sounds like this means ___" and waiting for a confirmation/rejection of your assumption.

I do stuff that involves quite a lot of printing, scanning, and copying.

My goofy lil Canon Pixma MG3620 printer has held strong throughout the years.

I will scream if it ever dies, as I have zero desire to peruse the hellscape of current-day printers.

My kid now has to sit in classrooms where kids scream, threaten people, throw things, and break shit. The teacher has had to evacuate the classroom until these kids calm down. Barely any teaching or learning takes place because these poor teachers are far too busy trying to manage these students.

My kid went from top student in every single grade to an anxious wreck because he now has to deal with kids who threaten to hurt both other students and themselves.

I'm very much for "education for all", but this ain't the way to do it. It's a fuckin' mess out there. I don't envy the kids of today in the slightest.

I have no issues paying higher prices for good-quality plushes. Thank you!

They look so friendly! Probably great breakfast buddies. Where are they from?

My parents used to be against me taking my meds. Been on them for nearly 9 years now.

I was forced to stop taking them for months due to a shortage last year.

My mother came over one day to find my house absolutely trashed, my mail piled up, my water shut off, I had gained 20 lbs, and all sorts of other "fun" things I was unable to address thanks to my condition.

She no longer encourages me to stop taking my meds.

Meds can be good. They may not be right for everyone, but take them if they help (while working with a qualified medical professional).

besides the admins of both instances can read them as well.

What?

"How do I be normal?"

....

"Dammit."

Kinda based, but still makes me feel some kinda way. Good job! I think?
