“I Think I Left A Window Open Last Night, Not Sure.”

To someone who's not accustomed to snow, this looks so soft and comfy. I keep forgetting that snow is cold and wet because it doesn't look cold or wet. It looks fluffy.

I Ate Half A Bag Of Beef Jerky And Realized I Made A Mistake
I bought this bag of jerky for myself. The photo looks enticing and the label "culinary, smoked brisket jerky" sounds appealing. It didn't taste like typical jerky but I thought to myself that this was the results of cooking with beans and herbs. After finishing half a bag, I saw the small prints on the lower corner of the bag that this is for dogs. Now I know what dog treats taste like (not good).

Oh come on at least put a picture of a dog on the packaging; this is just deceptive!

"Don't Paint Yourself Into A Corner"
Lee Gilliland 1 month ago (edited)
Last time I was in the hospital, I watched a crew erecting bollards around a door. In order to save time, the crew pulled the truck up to the door....and proceeded to set the bollards OUTSIDE the truck, sealing the truck next to the door never to be moved again. I spent about an hour attempting to contact the construction crew, and by the time I finally got in touch with them, the first concrete had set. It got my mind off my pain at least.

I Forgot Some Rice In A Pan For 5 Days
Ace 1 month ago
If that's really rice, then it was there for a d**n sight more than 5 days, and would have needed water and sugar and... No, it's not rice. Looks more like bread dough or something similar, which might also explain why it might have been put in an oven to prove in the first place.
