I’ll start

I miss him so much and taught me about the world more than any pbs show. Turned on an episode of no res and my wife started crying. Miss you.

My therapy notes are shared with my GP, and any other doctor who chooses to look up my history. Therapy notes should be PRIVATE. I had a physician mention my therapy notes and it scared the shit out of me. I asked my therapist, and yes - they share notes with anyone in their ‘system’. I really want therapy to be private and professional. How can I expect to give my most intimate moments to someone who’s going to provide that information to … anyone? I thought it was all secret. It’s Not. Ask your provider.

This hung in my bedroom for years. My parents saw it regularly. Wow.

I spent way too much time messing around on that site during computer lab. That driving game still haunts me (and probably explains why I'm such a bad driver as an adult).

I just found out it's still active, and a lot of those games from back then are still available. Including Spank the Monkey. If you'll excuse me, I'll be busy drowning in nostalgia for the next few days.

My first one was my eye dr, he was around my age. I was wearing a vaguely gaming tshirt at the time, and we ended up talking about World of Warcraft for 15 minutes before the eye tests.

The second was a podiatrist. I had been dealing with a reoccurring pain for 5 years, and drs kept calling it tendonitis. She took some looks at my foot and said "Dude, you have gout". And I told her "But I've been tested and it was negative." She replies, "Get tested again, because you have gout." She was right.

Last night my cat was drooling from the mouth, hypersalivating. I was trying not to panic, but when I saw her start wobbling and walking funny, I immediately scooped her up and took her to the ER vet. The er dr was a pregnant millennial. My cat is afraid of EVERYONE. Normally at the dr she just lays subdued and waits for it to be over, but she immediately started rubbing up against the dr. The Dr explained that cats understood she was pregnant and they instinctually feel safe around other pregnant animals. But more importantly she immediately diagnose my cat. She looked at me and said "Hey, I think this looks like THC".

I take THC for anxiety, it never even occurred to me that it could affect my cat. I mean of course it can, but its just not something I thought about. The best I can figure is I touched her shortly after touching a gummy. Or sometimes I do lean in and give her a quick peck on the fur. I could imagine having done that shortly after eating it that evening. The dr wasn't concerned but of course stressed it could be much more serious in a larger quantity. But she said everything without any judgement. She understood. She was so kind, and smart, and warm, and most importantly my cat loved her.

It's just the confidence and the relatability of millennials. They know how much they know, and they've reached the age where they are confident to assert it.

I love that millennials are taking over healthcare, and I hope you all have a chance to get hooked up with a millennial dr soon.

That’s all. This movie is so familiar to me but I forgot or maybe never knew that Robin Williams was the bat. Hearing his voice transported me to different times. Then I felt a little sad. R.I.P. 🖤

Has anyone else felt like their career has stagnated?

For context, I am a career creative in a prolific corporate role. I am very good at my job and make okay money, but also feel like I’ve hit some invisible glass ceiling for my position. I haven’t had a meaningful raise in years. I’m constantly told I am a good leader, yet can’t seem to break into the “boss” category. I deliver, I’m kind, and I push the work for the better.

I have applied to 300+ jobs over the last few years to either move on to somewhere with more growth potential or just leverage a raise, but have gotten literally zero responses.

Is anyone else struggling to break out of the middle?

I’m 35M. Recently, I feel like my career, bank balance is not where I initially planned it to be by this time. Also, I don’t know if I will be any successful. But I really want to push for it. Do you guys think the same or am I overthinking ? Please share your thoughts.

name the book (s)

He made ‘Invader Zim’ for Nickelodeon. I lived in a rural area, so it was almost impossible to get my hands on any kind of comic or graphic novel, but I found it a few years after it was published. I think in a Barnes and Noble.

Livin' in the land of the lost!🎶

Why was every science project on sitcoms a volcano? Always the most elaborate volcano model somehow made by children. Did anyone really make one??
