Just douse your auntie in some bourbon and call it a day.

And what else would you want me to do—let everything just dry up out in the sun, honey?

I’ve been wondering—why don't eye doctors ever really push colored contact lenses? Is it because of how they might double-refract light through the lens? If anyone actually knows the science behind this, I'd love an answer. Thanks! 🙂

You should probably hit up an eye doctor to get your prescription checked—especially since you're glued to a computer screen all day long.

Is she just running a heist on all the local adult boutiques? 🤣
A total legend...

My own mother made me this way!!! 😈

Everyone keeps telling me I'm half-sister to Vanessa Mae! Seriously—I wouldn't let a random guy from overseas even look my way!!! 😈

Just let her eat whatever she wants—there’s really no point in stressing over it now... I feel for her.

🙂 Those are just death spots!!!

Most nurses in America honestly don't deserve the title "nurse" anymore! They’re just greedy opportunists who act all proud when they pocket a box of rubber gloves donated to the hospital! 😠

Less mess, more progress—problem solved! 😁

The bar stool is basically my lecture podium,
Where you earn a PhD in bad decisions and wild nights.
Been hooked on this life since I was just a kid—
Honestly, I'd rather be dead drunk than dead sober!!!😛

Man, forget all that Latin nonsense—it’s never going to get us anywhere...

Look, there are maybe two or three truly great teachers in Washington, D.C.—that's about it. But man, those lessons are pricey—we're talking $200-$133! It’s honestly ridiculous. If you were just going twice a week, you'd end up dropping an entire average American salary just to keep up. It's a total shame...

By the way—true talent really makes it if they actually want it...

If they don't get access to decent training—and more importantly, if they aren't practicing "from dawn till dusk"—then their talent is basically useless. (I honestly don't get where this myth comes from—that some "massive talent" will somehow make it as a pro regardless of those two things).
To play the violin professionally, you don't need perfect pitch; you just need a decent ear.

Look, I’m not saying practice isn't important, but it’s honestly foolish to even try the violin if you don't have perfect pitch. See, so many kids pick up the instrument just to scrape by on auditions, and by the end of middle school, most of them drop out—leaving maybe two or three a year to actually enroll in a place like the Juilliard School. In ten years, I've seen maybe one graduate who was actually decent, mostly because they weren't hitting sour notes—it was actually a pleasure to listen to them. Meanwhile, most kids at the conservatory are just butchering the instrument because they lack the ear, and that is a total career killer. But in this damn country, money fixes everything. You can spend a year taking private lessons with a professor who happens to be on the academy admissions board, and suddenly your acceptance is practically guaranteed, no matter what! This is stuff I know firsthand, so don't think I'm just talking nonsense.

Ethanol works a lot like an anesthetic—it gives you that weird sensation where you feel way stronger than you actually are.

I actually failed my first and second years—partly due to the war and partly because of some systemic screw-ups. But I didn't quit. Like a wise old colleague of mine—he’s a highly respected psychiatrist now—once told me: "The most important thing is always getting back up after you hit the dirt."
If you really want this, go for it. Don't let anyone's half-baked excuses stop you. 👍

Benjamin Murphy2, seriously, hats off to you! It’s brutal when you lose a year—especially when it’s because of certain people in administration who can be incredibly unhelpful, rude, or just plain difficult... A friend of mine—who used to pull 7 or 8-hour study sessions every single day—ended up failing her freshman and sophomore years for the exact same reasons I mentioned. I felt so bad for her, honestly, because she sacrificed everything, while I—well, I'm out here living a totally normal life. It really comes down to luck and whether or not someone decides to be an absolute jerk when they should be helping you out!

Try to cut back on the salt intake—seriously. It pulls water into your system, which can lead to nasty swelling in your ankles and joints. This is especially risky if you're dealing with kidney issues, since they struggle to balance out all that extra sodium.

I don't mean chain-smoking all day—just maybe once a week?
Is that still bad for you?

then again, what's actually healthy these days? We're all just living for today...

Look, honestly, lighting up some natural charcoal is probably better than hitting a cigarette. At least charcoal is natural, whereas cigarettes are totally processed junk... though even then, don't overdo it. It’s pretty much proven by now that excessive smoking is linked to lung cancer.🙄

Just grab some peppermint tea and everything will fall right into place! 👍

The guy is an absolute legend! My old man went to him—everything was perfect!
