Family is different, I'll return their call (eventually).



No, don't. I'll ignore a text from an unknown number just as I do a phone call.
I answered a call that just said crossfield on Saturday while out with the family. Of course there was that delay as it switched over so I just started yelling hello?hello?hello? repeatedly angrily. Buddy just immediately starts "fata you basterd beatch, fata your mother". He was on the offensive right away just right into it. I think it was the furnace cleaning guys.

Problem is if you’re expecting a call from a doctor’s office or a contractor and you don’t know the number. They’ll leave a voice-mail message.

If I don't recognize the number, not picking up. If they leave a vm, I'll decide if it's worth calling back but may not. My doctor calls no caller ID so I know when it's them. And I tell people all the time just text unless urgent because then I can deal with it whenever, but if it's not urgent or i'm busy, it may be a bit.

If someone is riding public transit and is obviously sick, coughing and sniffling, and doing nothing about it and not wearing a mask, it should be legal to euthanize them.

Nah, it made perfect sense. I went to Porch last week for the first time. That's because I told my 19-year-old daughter to pick where we would go for her birthday dinner. It suited her perfectly.

That vibe is way off for hanging out with your buddy. I'd be bummed to be there with any of my friends.

I'm also in support of intentionally misunderstanding what you meant and then piling on you for two pages, so I am a bit torn on this, I guess.

The Porch is an oasis located in the heart of the red mile. Offering an escape to a chic West Coast locality and showcasing stylish sharable cuisine, refreshing wine, beer, and a crushable cocktail menu.

Reminiscent of a laid-back summer porch, where we whisk you away. Your only worry will be sunny days or lively nights.

Yikes, was this place inspired by Patio Lanterns?

Built one of their fancier bookshelves, and one of the shelves got put in upside down. Fixing it meant disassembling almost the entire thing.

#### got real fast.

Bought a chest of drawers from IKEA about 5 years ago. By the time I was done I believe I used just about every swear word in existence. Never again I said to myself.

I did that once as well. The shelf was never flipped over properly because I couldn't be bothered to go through the hassle.

Are ya'll kidding? IKEA instructions are the simplest and easiest furniture-building instructions out there. They've basically perfected the formula.

This part is A, this part is B. Put A and B together with C1 screws. Make sure A rough-side is pointed in.

I have never understood this notion that IKEA is complicated.

No kidding, bunch of strugglers here who can’t build a 3 piece Furkläff shelf with 4 screws but would advise their children to work in the trades. Lol.
