    This seems to be the new controversial topic of conversation at work. It’s definitely thought-provoking.

    So

    many

    words!

    Thought provoking, for sure, because it's something that I've never actively thought about before.

    When I turned 30, I decided that I was going to start writing fiction.

    I turn 40 later this year, and I just did the math--I've (so far) made $13/year selling stories.

    I'm glad I'm not planning to retire on my writing earnings, heh. It also has me really questioning why I wanted to start writing fiction in the first place? I've done a lot, and my memory isn't always great, and I know it was a goal but I cannot recall why I even made it a goal.

    Considering the whole stigma (that I was unaware of until mfp 😂) around grey sweatpants...

    Are they inappropriate to wear outside of the home 🤔... Like say, to my dentist appointment this morning...

    Chit-Chat should be retitled Scuttlebutt Lounge.

    I'll provide the water cooler, we can all stand around it.

    Do we have to stand? I mean, I haven't quite given up enough to want to sit, but maybe I can lean?

    Right? I've had a long day. Gimme a damn chair!

    I'd settle for a counter

    I’d be happy to just be included🤷‍♂️

    You have to be included! You're the only one who entertains my nonsense.

    Super Bowl ratings weren't down this year because of Colin or the whole issue about concussions... Super Bowl ratings were down this year because they sent the wrong team to the freaking Super Bowl like usual

    It's not political nor physical issues that have hurt the NFL's ratings it's the money that has hurt the NFL ratings... They got what they wanted, they wanted to tap the LA market... And now the NFL has to reap the consequences of following the money rather than the sport

    Superbowl blackout this year for many. Over 50 million less viewers isn't an issue they can ignore. Then again, prior to the Superbowl, many franchises haven't been able to fill seats or move merchandise. Courting LA is one thing, to follow the money, only that franchise owners complaints is reflective of a humongous dip in interest.

    If Cardiac arrest, just revive for more...

    Think you can break it?
    And learn the reverse...

    giphy.gif

    Brief cardiac arrest then tachycardia.
    Is it worth it?
    Flip it AND reverse it.

    I'll bring the AED, don't worry I'm certified (I even got a pin that says so 🤷🏽‍♂️)
    Have you seen Call of Wild?
    I'll bring it for you 😉
    Mount and pound into submission Bb

    You don't need a pin to give me CPR Papi.
    I'll get pricked anyway.
    Which one? Actually irrelevant, because... I haven't seen any 😂
    Don't just bring it. Demonstrate.
    Like putty in my hands 😉

    Love it when she calls me that 😏
    Forgot the AED... Looks like we'll have to rely on more blowing and force to get it pounding again...

    Me neither, but wasn't talking about the movie anyway 😉...

    But the snacks I brought Melt in your mouth, not in your hands ☝️👇🏼

    Maybe it needs a jolt... reverberation.
    And to clear the arteries.
    Something about... beck and call?
    Honey, that's not a snack. That's the main course.
    Rodizio.

    Sounds like she can start up a dead man and make him (what did the Mick say? 🤔) 😂

    Nice after a long shift, just don't have dessert without me 😉...

    Morning, lunch and supper time...
    No need to log the calories, low carb anyway 😏

    Cry. And don't you forget it.
    What day is it .... Yom Kippur? Have mercy.

    Document everything thoroughly, Shakespeare. She's the shrew.
    High protein diet, mainly organic compounds, and protein shakes. But, variety is the spice. So bring the heat.

    No the other thing he said 😂
    Lucy, you've got some splain'n to do 🤔

    Well I have played Romeo before 😏
    "Graze on my lips and if those hills be dry, stray lower where the pleasant fountain lie"

    Like a protein packed salted caramel machiato
    😂😘

    Tears of joy.
    Cold like the tombstone, ice cream cone. Try rewiring her.
    I'm sure your performance and portrayal was.... Staggering (you should take one to the VT)
    The Day of Atonment, preceeded by The Ten Days of Repentance.
    Protein shakes - better whipped and frothy, but with a bit of bite.

    OMG... You did not just just quote the Rolling Stones back to me... She must be familiar with my weaknesses posts...

    Because I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire, I'm the bleeding volcaanoo... 💞💥🔫

    I did pretty good actually, might have won the comp if I didn't bomb the soliloquy 🤷🏽‍♂️🙈

    But 10 days is not enough... Confession on demand... The old shredded one, and the furry ones please... 😏

    Prey, not predator.
    Where's the Promised Land?
    That's a lot of crashing and burning 😂
    Take a seat, count the misdeeds.

    Follow me little sheep
    The road is dark but leads to salvation
    What can I say, talented but overly confident..
    Count? Lol... I think we both know what's deserved...


    Narrow is the path. Treacherous. Destructive.
    Salvation bites. Hard.
    Tears, but not of sorrow.
    Fears, but not for vulnerability.
