I believe parthenogenesis is the future, and the only equal thing to do. Probably not as enjoyable, mind you...

Seeing a missed call from Dad in work earlier and I was like "sheeeeet".

He wouldn't usually ring me when he knows I am in work unless it is an emergency, and indeed the last two times he done so was to inform me of a death.

So naturally enough I was apprehensive ringing him back when I could and braced myself for bad/worrying news.

Except all he was ringing me for was to tell me there is plenty of food left at home to eat later.

Thanks for the fright though

I was lying in bed at 11.30pm and my neighbor across the road was blaring out music from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats really loudly. He must have been holding a Furry themed sex party inside his house ðŸ˜

I think I've seen "womyn" and "womban" proposed as alternatives.

Both of which of course autocorrect to "woman".

Sure as long as I can do/get what I need, that's all that matters.

Think I'll start following this mentality. Get nothing for being considerate to others.

Knee pain (aging joints) that are ok during the day , but when you lie down (ooh matron!) off the niggles and the burning start .

On a plus note , it feels like hot water bottles on your knees

My housemates alarm goes off at 6:45 every morning. That’s 100% acceptable to me, gotta get up and go to work.

My TA is she has gone off for the weekend and her alarm is still going since 6:45

And why don’t these turn off automatically?? It’s been going for 23 minutes now

I live with my sister and she NEVER goes anywhere overnight so ye olde free gaff is a rare pearl indeed for me. She has a work thing tonight so I was very much looking forward to having the house to myself.

My other sister is also going away tonight and just rang me to say her ex, who was supposed to have their daughter, is after letting her down. There goes me lovely free gaff

As part of class the other day, I 'confessed' something that was hard for me to say, their first response was to contradict me and then to say I should have done thing and that(which I had).

WHY THE HELL CANT I SAY THIS WAS HARD AND BE BELIEVED?.

I think I got spoiled working in supportive(mostly) environments!

Bullsh1t prententious crisp labeling.
Hand cooked - so they were cooked in someone's hand?
Hand cut - nonsense, they went through a big machine
