Lol

I got one of those today. They have 0 workouts but already have >400 followers (and what I can only assume is an OF link in their profile).

Clearly people don’t even look when they follow back.

Probably, they dont have a physique conducive to running.

Talk about insignificant signals!

Today was garbage pickup. We didn’t put out any garbage or recycling at the curb as the bins were mostly empty. I went outside a little while ago, and there was a bunch of garbage strewn around in front of my house. Fortunately it was mostly paper and a little plastic so it wasn’t too nasty for me to clean up

Holy crap is facebook advertising annoying. They shut my ads down due to.discriminatory advertising which i guess means mentioning even a group. Which i didnt do. Three of us spent an hour on it, we got nothing. So they send me an invite for personal.assistance and i book a call for this morning. They no show.
This afternoon, i get another invite for personal assistance. I try and book a call, their email takes me to a page that says ‘you dont qualify for a call’. Jeezus. So i pull the trigger on ‘review my ads’. And just now, alll my ads get approved.

Seriously.

So, puts on META. Got it.

Unfortunately, facebook is my target market. So i kind of have to put up with it.

I know. The fact that you’re trying to give them money and they throw up a string of roadblocks is something.

I had a lot of wine I really enjoyed in Spain, but one particular bottle made an impression on me. It is a very limited production wine (600 bottles/year), so little of it makes it on the market anywhere. I doubted that anyone would carry it in the US.

To my surprise, I found it online in the US. They even had an option to ship it. Loaded my online shopping cart, clicked buy, and got a message that they couldn’t ship it to me. Contacted them via email and was told they don’t ship. WTF, why would you build it as an option in your online store then?

Seems to be the only spot that carries that wine in the US, which does not surprise me given the limited production. It’s not a convenient drive either at 6.5-8 hours one way. I have a good possible reason to be in that city in the fall so maybe they’ll have the next year’s vintage then. Tempted to do a road trip in the interim, but that seems a bit excessive.

I have a feeling my surgery is going to be denied and I’m going to have to jump through hoops to get approval to have it.

Got the letter today that my MRI was denied (which I already knew), and the reason for it was because I needed to try a bunch of other options for three months that demonstratively don’t work before an MRI is covered. I paid for it outside of insurance because I’m in a lot of pain and my dominant arm has lost a ton of strength. But I am going to be so angry if I have to postpone my surgery for months because United Healthcare sucks. I already can’t function well because of nerve damage.

What town? Maybe someone lives there and can buy you some

I thought about that, but it would still likely require a road trip.
