If your boss is a Democrat, blame Trump, you'll get a raise. Seriously, hope it went well for you, 28 years is a lot of time and loyalty. I was the guy that had to make these decisions for a medium sized company, occasionally a loyal, long-term employee has some screw-ups, termination would be the last option.

I hate MRI's, but I'm claustrophobic, I can't even go to a small state, Rhode Island, no way. When I broke my neck I had to get one, but I was so full of pain meds, I hardly remember it

There is a place on Picardy near OLOL, that has a sitting MRI, you sit in the open between two plates, no bad at all.

I highly recommend Bean-X, it was invented by Elon to keep you from blasting off.

Got any fire ants I can borrow? I promise to return all crispy.

No, not a redneck. Take raw redbeans, soak in brine overnight, eat. At least you don't have to peel them.

I got to a backyard party one May, saw big pot boiling, mouth was watering until picked up the lid and saw peanuts, WTF is this shite, these aren't crawfish.

I'll save my share for the heathens who don't know better.

We’ve been here over 2.5 hours, they stop for half hour if they hear thunder. My shite goes on the ground in the future.
If the government runs something, it’s screwed up. No Nissan Altimas here, they smarter.

Days that end in a "Y".

I had this in my 40's, I'd be driving down a highway, and I'd have to pull over, the anxiety was overwhelming. It could happen in a meeting at work, in a restaurant, anytime, anyplace.

Gradually, the severe symptoms faded away, still had a general feeling of anxiety, which was uncomfortable, but not panicky. My doctor explained to me that this was a release of adrenalin, the cause could by psychological, but he found that several studies showed it happened across a wide spectrum of patients. This is not to downplay the benefits of talk therapy, relaxation techniques, spiritual well being, that seems to benefit many people.

About 10 years ago, I was having a lot of pain due to muscle spasms, arthritis, getting old, my doc prescribed Cymbalta (duloxetine) 60 mg. Within days it had a calming effect, the background anxiety I felt for years just went away. My next visit , I asked about it, he said that is one of the beneficial side effects and the primary reason some doctors prescribe it.

It does have some other side effects, so you might want to read up about it, and if you ever quit taking it, it is important to taper off.

I hope this helps, peace be with you.

It's a spasm, I get it occasionally, reach for my cell and realize it's not in that pocket.

They didn't know about each other. But seriously, who was grooming who?

I was just there 17 years ago, could have been me.
