Get a kiddie pool, fill it, soak your feet in it

She was trying to rattle you. Next time answer ridiculous questions with ridiculous answers

Also worth noting the canned laughter began with radio programs. The Wikipedia page on laugh tracks has a well detailed explanation on the evolution of this under History In The United States on it’s Laugh Tracks page

It’s weird, I grew up watching shows with laugh tracks but now they make me cringe. I can watch reruns of those old shows no problem but if I see a new show and it has a laugh track I’m immediately put off.

Have you read the Wikipedia page? It’s pretty interesting

If you like these kinds of movies (I call them road flicks, linear story line, lots of cameos) I have a few suggestions:

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Cannonball Run

Rat Race

Who’s Minding the Mint?

Nair

9 to 5 is just a phrase referencing a standard full time day shift job not about the specific start/stop times

College/independent radio

Isreal is screwed without the US. Without its backing it will turn to Russia. It’s a valuable ally for the US due to it’s location and intelligence services

If you have a mosquitoe problem first step is prevention. They breed in standing water and it doesn’t have to be deep. Clogged gutters are a common culprit

How about buying a cheap house that needs a lot of work and renting out rooms to your friends so that all of you can have an affordable place to live?

If you don’t like corporations do your best not to give them your money

I’d love to see their family photos where only one person is smiling

I’ve never heard those phrases in person, only when spoken on TV or radio. Whereabouts you from?

According to the article the kid had pajamas but weren’t clean because the family didn’t have a washer&dryer in their home

This thought has occurred to me recently. What is this generation’s soundtrack? What is the music everyone will look on and say it defined the time?

I was stoned

Here’s the thing… There’s always shit hitting the fan, that doesn’t change. What has changed is our perception. We see everything that happens everywhere all the time right in the palm of our hands. Our ability to have control over any of it hasn’t changed much. I was born in the 60s when a president, presidential candidate and a civil rights leader were assassinated which is pretty intense and everyone is aware of it. There were other events that were “big deals” at the time that younger people today aren’t aware of. It’s a thing that strikes me as I get older. I guess that’s how it goes, we all together stress over one thing or another. The first one I remember getting wrapped up in was the Swine Flu outbreak in the 70’s. My 5th grade class got a new textbook with a picture right inside the cover of a kid getting an inoculation shot. The needle device looked more like an industrial staple gun than a traditional needle and I was scared shirtless of it. I waited for my turn to get that shot and it never came. The next news headline replaced Swine Flu and the whole thing blew over. My point is these things come and they go, it’s nothing new. I’m not saying don’t be concerned about the state of things just don’t stress out too hard. It’s not on your shoulders to save the world at least not yours alone. You do have an effect on things just not everything.

A lot of serial killers were cruel to animals when they were young.

Maybe it’s not about whether the patient takes the medication or not rather you are visually confirming and documenting that they took it or refused it. Should there be a mishap or lawsuit involving this person the hospital would use that person’s reluctance to follow medical advice as a defense. Just playing devil’s advocate here, I’ll bet a lot of hospital policies are written to protect from liability
